review by Liam

October 2021

Great concept, but some barriers with the specific product. Don’t get me wrong – this automatic feeder has changed my life. Manually giving my cat food takes around five minutes for me, from opening the food storage container to scooping food into his bowl to closing the container, let alone if I spill food and need to take the time to clean it up. Multiple times a day. This product feeds automatically, with a recording you can make for your pet announcing when it’s meal time.

Pros:

Saves time and energy
Programmable feeding times and amounts
Lid is easy to get off and put back on (but might be difficult for some)

Cons:

Buttons are small and can be difficult to interact with from a wheelchair when it is on the floor
Display locks or turns off after a short amount of time
You still need to fill the large food storage container on the device once in a while

I think there is a version of this product that uses Wi-Fi in some way. I would like to try it.

We used this until our cat (Rico) died. We haven’t started it with our new cats – it might be trickier with two of them. I still like the product. We only tried it with dry food. Also at one point some water got into the food storage and everything got moldy — we had to do a full cleaning.
