I have two cats so this two-way feeder is perfect as they prefer having their own bowls. It is easy to set up, you need to add a voice recording for before biscuits are dispensed, which I really love about this machine. You set size of portion and schedule throughout the day so you are never late serving your feline masters again (ha, ha). I originally wanted for when I was going to be late home or out for the day, however, just leave it on all the time, as soon as they hear the recording of my voice calling them for their biscuits they are off like a shot. I would prefer it if you could plug it in underneath the machine so the cable just comes from a slit in the back as they have moved the whole machine a couple of times (mainly when only half full of biscuits though) meaning it unplugs so does not work. That said, I am very pleased with this purchase.
Points positifs
– mes chats ont compris que je n’tais plus la personne qui les nourris, du coup ils ne me rveillent plus en pleine nuit.
– portionnable
– pas de croquette coinces pour ma part
– programmation sur l’application mobile des heures de repas
– mes chats se volaient leur gamelle, je ne sais pas pourquoi depuis qu’ils mangent cte cte ce n’est plus le cas
Ngatifs
– bruyant lorsque les croquettes tombent dans la gamelle en mtal. Je pense rajouter un petit tapis silicone dans le fond de la gamelle pour viter d’tre rveille par la machine 6h
– pas vident configurer; manuel un peu limit. Pour russir appairer la machine au tlphone, bien approcher sa box internet, du tlphone mobile et du distributeur.
Nice feeder, my cats enjoy it but just be aware that the power button is underneath the bowls as I had to check the reviews to find it. The recorder voice it s also nice. Very helpful for those who aren t home 24/7.
Really well made product. Food container holds a lot of food and has a seal around so the food stays fresh. Can set lots of feeding times. Really impressed. Would definitely recommend.
Bight it as an emergency for my 2 kittens when we had to go abroad, was supervised how easy it was to program it. The kittens managed to turn it off once and disposed their food once when they were too excited about the mashing at the beginning.
I’ve been using this for a month now. So far so good! The app is very easy to use and there isn’t any connection issues. I also love the design eg. there are intervals on the side so I can see when do I need to refill. The portion size is also perfect, up to 48! And the food bowls are large enough. I would definitely recommend this
I love everything about this. It’s working perfectly for 2 cats for more than one week without needing to refill. I love how the app logs the feeds so you can keep an eye while away. There’s just 2 things I’m disappointed with:
The way the bowls sit into the machine is awkward and they/the machine are too lightweight, my cats managed to take the bowls out so it was dispensing the food all over the floor for up to a week!
The app doesn’t notify you when the food is low, just the machine flashes blue lights
Love this cat feeder, really easy to use. Wish we had bought one a lot sooner especially handy when it comes to feeding the cats whilst on holiday
I bought this for my 2 cats so that they wouldn’t go hungry on Christmas Day. I set it up a week before so they’d get used to it. One took to it immediately but the other was a bit scared. After a few days, she associated the message with getting food and they both love it now. They hear the message and go straight to it, waiting for the food to come out. I also don’t get woken up early by the cats anymore as they have a munch from their feeder and I give them some meat when I get up. I would prefer more control over their portion size, rather than giving them the set amounts.
Bought for our two cats to make feeding easier when we are at work or away for a night. Easy to assemble (apart from it doesn’t clearly say you need to add batteries as well plug it in) or maybe it’s just me?! Also you have to record a voice for it to work (but could just record nothing if the voice annoys you)
Portion sizes are currently trial and error as only been using for a couple of days. But the timer etc is pretty easy to set up for each meal. Overall it’s great so far and I’m sure will be great to give our cats a meal when we are at work all day
This is a great device if you are away for a day or two, if you know you will be late home, or if you can’t be bothered to get out of bed in the morning! You can set the times and amounts of (dry) food it will deliver to your pet(s) and does so reliably, running from mains supply or batteries. It does take a while for the beasties to get used to it, but they do after a short while. Definitely recommended!
un buon elettrodomestico che eroga cibo per cani e gatti in modo automatico. Il modello da me acquistato programmabile tramite il piccolo display posto sul coperchio dell’apparato o tramite l’applicazione disponibile su Android e iOS ed possibile condividerla su pi cellulari.
Pu erogare 6 pasti giornalieri e per ogni pasto dall’una a cinquanta porzioni di cibo. La grammatura delle erogazioni non precisissima ma nulla di disastroso.
Ogni erogazione pu essere anticipata dall’emissione di un messaggio registrato a piacimento della durata di 10 secondi e che pu essere ripetuto anche per tre volte consecutive.
La App consente di controllare a distanza l’elettrodomestico cambiando anche la programmazione. Tiene anche un registro delle erogazioni eseguite.
Al suo interno possono essere inserite 4 batterie (torcioni) che, se presenti, servono da batterie tampone, permettendo all’apparato di funzionare anche in caso di black-out.
Anche senza batterie e staccandolo dall’alimentazione il distributore non perde i settaggi impostati (almeno per un tempo limitato).
Le due ciotole di cui dotato sono fatte in plastica a cui va sovrapposto il rivestimento in acciaio. Io uso una singola ciotola non avendo necessit della seconda.
Speriamo regga ai tentativi della gatta di scassinare il marchingegno per poter accedere direttamente al serbatoio dei croccantini. Speriamo duri.
Lo trovo comodissimo indispensabile x chi non pu gestire i pasti x i propri gatti x lavoro o durante le vacanze.
bello comodo capirete , circa 1 kg e mezzo di croccantini .
Programmabile fino a 6 pasti al giorno.
Poi gestire anche i pasti con app che devi scaricare sul cellulare, e funziona molto bene.
Spero resista nel tempo, se cos fosse il top.
Ovviamente consiglio.
Ok so I got this and another item I ordered in same box delivered from amazon. You could tell the courier had tried to open it. Not impressed.
Ok, Now with the product. Its nice, Looks exactly like the picture. But fiddly to use but quickly learned how to with out much need for the manual. The portions however are small so had to put ours on 6 portions 6 times a day to feed 4 9 week old kittens. We use purina one kitten biscuits and they come out great. They do not distribute into the two bowls evenly though, Even though everything is connected correctly. The bowls are huge so was happy with that so two could share a bowl at the same time. They have quickly learned when its coming up given I added my voice to it. My qualm with this is that I did less than 10 seconds recording and it says it 4 times before it distributes the food, Which leaves the kittens standing in the bowls, Sniffing the food container, Wondering where the food is lol. Ive not downloaded the app yet so cant say on its functionality. All in all its a great feeder, Just has a couple of annoyances.
Also if the company is reading this, Can you please for the love of god include a much longer ac lead?! The lead it comes with is far too short since most of our plugs in the kitchen are above our countertops. I have had to put it in the most awkward position so it just about reaches the floor!
Easy to set up, I’ve got 3 cats and bowls are big enough to feed them all. Holds quite a bit of food too.
We have two cats who don’t like sharing one bowl so this is a great option. The bowls are a good size and held in place to the feeder so the force of the food coming out doesn’t make them move away on wooden floors and the cats can’t move them away as they feed. Very flexible portion control up to 50 (micro) portions available in a feed and you can set for six timeslots. Holds a lot of food too. Battery and mains powered which is key as batteries can’t fail / mains power outage will still get cats fed! Easy to assemble, metal bowls not plastic and they are removable for easy cleaning.
The cat feeder works very well. My two cats used to wake me up early in the morning. Now that I can set the timer such that they get fed at that time we are all happy. The audio message is very loud but trying to speak quietly and blocking the speaker a bit helped with that too.
I bought this for short notice when I had a business trip and there’s no one home to feed my cats.
It’s quite easy to figure out how to use, bowl is huge, probably made for dogs.
Buttons are too stiff, maybe it’s good that the pets can’t dispense food themselves.
Portions seem a little small but will do
I wish there’s up and down to adjust portion size, so if I accidentally go over, I can just go back and not go all the way to 48 to start again (and often go over again)
Works amazingly. Now I don’t have to worry about my cats going hungry while I am at work.
So far so good.
Easy to clean, looks neat and changing the timer and potion size was a doddle!
This is great for when you’re not home for a few days and also for when your cats get hungry in the night and start to cry for food.
Love it. Easy to put together and simple to use
I would thoroughly recommend this it has made my life a lot easier.
I really like this it worked well with no problems can feed my cats smaller portions more regularly which really helps as one is a greedy food thief it’s very reliable and I no longer get woken up at 5am happy days
This product was an easy set up, programming is a little time consuming but overall it is GREAT
Device is well made and holds a lot of food, even though setting up portions takes sometime it was not really a big issue.
At the beginning we thought our pets would not like it as they kept trying to eat each other’s food, but now they learned to peacefully mind their own bowl. Cleaning is also fairly easy thanks to removable food container and two metalic bowls provided, however the device can also be set up to a single bowl mode.
Overall quite impressed with its quality and my kittens love it too!
I got this product since I have to return to work soon and wont be able to feed my kitten in person.
Product was easy to assemble and easy to configure, it really is quite straight forward! I like the option to record voice. My kitten runs to the feeder whenever he hears the sound.
So far the feeder has been reliable and have had no issues.
I am quite relived I don’t have to wake up early to feed my kitten.
I was sceptical about how good this machine would be, but I shouldn’t have been. We adopted two kittens at the end of March and I have maybe gone a bit overboard wanting the best things for them and would definitely say this is one of them. Once you get your head around how to work the portion sizes, it works very well. I like that there’s an option to record a voice message for the cats because I have always called them for their meals, so this will work really well for when we go away.
The instructions are clear and the machine is easy to programme. I’m hoping I’ll find out how to turn the beep volume down because it’s a bit aggressive, but other than that, I’ve no complaints.
The two bowls provided clip into place under the machine and have metal inserts that can be taken out to clean easily.
It holds almost a full bag of whiskas dry food, so will last a long time for our two cats who eat a mixture of wet and dry food.
Overall, I’m very happy with this machine and would recommend it, so far!
Super convenient when leaving cats alone at home for few days. No more cattery and unnecessary stress for them.
This cat feeder is excellent. It’s easy to set up (despite some other reviews, it really is quite straight forward!). Meal sizes takes some testing to get right, I just locked myself in a room and changed it for an hour or so until I got my cats’ portion size right for the day, in total.
It’s also pretty robust – my larger cat has tried to get into it with no luck, and also tried to claw at it to pull it over – it remains standing and unscratched so far!
Well worth the money for a well made product that I can trust to feed my cats when I go away (I don’t use it all the time as I like feeding my cats myself if I’m there, otherwise they might not be so fond of me!) and the splitter works really well too.
Does exactly what I needed. Easy to set up. Cat ats are happy with it and they no longer wake me at 4:30am.
We absolutely LOVE this device! So easy to set up and holds SO much more food than we were expecting!! Currently, with 2 9 month old kittens we only have to refill every 1.5 weeks! A dream! We didn’t want it playing a message so we just held the record button for 1 second to record ‘noise’ as I read the machine won’t work unless you record something. Works perfectly this way. Honestly, it’s an absolute dream and gives us peace of mind when we are not there around feeding times! 100% recommend.
Very easy to assemble and program. Simple and intuitive key. Good design, looks good quality. The only nice design with double bowls. Only thing… you must record the sound otherwise will not work (not even the manual feeding). In my case I’ve recorde silence. Nice to have steel bowls too.
Our last auto feeder gave up the ghost on us for some reason, and we had tried one of the cheap timer based ones, which our two Maine Coons just ripped to shreds to get at their nugs haha.
We were drawn to this one as it had two separate spouts and bowls so that our big boy cat can’t muscle out our other cat.
It has so far – 2-3 weeks in or so – reliably given out food at the exact time and our troublemaking cats have not broken into it!.
The portion size can be small or very generous and you can set it to feed your cats a fair few times a day.
The delivery of the item was good and quick and it arrived in perfect condition.
Very easy to set up and you can set a voice command for your cats to let them know its tea time.
Amazing product really easy to assemble and to set up. My cats love it and really happy that can work with just batteries as my cats will play with the cable. This product is great!
Works really well. Looks smart and will be a massive help when we are not home to feed the cats. really happy. Really easy to set up.
An absolute gamechanger!
The very simple mechanism comes with easy-to-follow instructions. Set it up once and you’ll be worry-free for good. My cats get food on time even if I am out or working late. Apart from convenience and ease of use, one of my favourite features is portion control. I didn’t realize I was over-feeding my cats. Because of the feeder I actually looked up how much they’re supposed to be fed and set up the portion sizes accordingly. Now they finish their meals and there are no leftovers for over or binge eating. Hopefully this time the vet won’t give out to us for not being on a diet 🙂
I’m reasonably technically minded, and after a glance at the instructions, I managed to set this up. However, the first time it went off, the little meal ‘1’ just flashed and nothing happened. It wasn’t until I remembered reading the reviews that said that the recording needed to be done that it clicked – I don’t necessarily need to hear my own voice, and the sound of a biscuit waterfall is enough to entice the cats (and me for that matter, although not the same type of biccies). It doesn’t specifically say that you HAVE to do the recording, but it did magically seem to work after that. Next trick is to turn the voice off as it woke me up in the night – kind of defeating the purpose of buying it!
It’s on the large side, but this just means that I don’t have to store a large tub of biscuits on the kitchen work surface. It has a viewer on one side so you can see when it’s running low (my cats would also be quick to tell me I’m sure!). The mogs were only a little phased by the new bowls, but have eaten from it quite happily. They’re somewhat confused by my tinny voice appearing to come from the machine when I’m clearly next to them upstairs … but they’ll get used to the automatic rattle of biccies in double-quick time I’m sure.
So – instructions not completely clear in terms of the voice recording, but otherwise it works a treat (pun intended)!
I was skeptical about how efficient this would be, however with my work commitments increasing I wanted to ensure that even when I’m working late the cats were fed. Overall the feeder has worked exactly as described and the cats, although weary for the first day or so, now run to it at feeding times. I like how I can adjust the amount that is dispensed and how meals can be fed upto 6 times a day. It was easy to set up and doesn’t look out of place in the kitchen where the food bowls were previously. My only gripe is the cable is a little short (about 1m) for where I have placed the feeder. The cats hopefully prefer it now they get fed at the same time every day and I can relax knowing that even when working late they will forgive me.
After we set up the dispenser with feeding times, it wouldnt work : the meal-number would blink on the display but no food would be dispensed. We contacted the company, who told us to record a noise to be played at the meal-time: after we did that the dispenser started working! It is reliable, and we have now tuned the feed sizes so they match our cats’ eating habits. I wish there were a clear indicator that it is connected to the mains (instead of running off batteries) but that’s my only quibble.
This is brilliant. Has stopped our cats waking us up at 4.30am every day! My only wish is that there was a volume for the audio message – it’s really loud and now that wakes me up (sometimes!). Looks really nice in the kitchen too and the power lead reaches from the floor to the socket above the counter.
Excellent machine – doesn’t always put the same portion in each bowl but the cats sort that out between them!
Very easy to use and reliable. The portion size is not relatable to common portions but you can easily adjusted to meet your needs. You can lots of different meals with different portions. It is great!
Very flexible controls in terms of feeding times and volume & looks smart.
I found this very easy to set up although the portion sizes for my two cats where a little bit too generous to start with I put them on number five so I have since gone back through the routines and just put down two portions each time which is sufficient for my cats otherwise I can see them getting huge! The main reason for getting one of these is so that when I go away for a long weekend they are guaranteed to get fed.I have set the recording where I call them to their food but so far have been watch them every time I call them to eat if they are sleeping they just look up and then go back to sleep! However it does the job it’s supposed to do which was the important reason for buying it. Overall I am very pleased.
Pleased with this – arrived quickly and was easy to put together and use
Pros:
– Instructions demonstrate clear and easy setup and use
– bowls attach to base, prevent pets from moving them away from spigot
– USB power is universal for extension/replacement if needed
– battery backup in case of power outage
– display screen displays entire feeding schedule at once (no cycling/toggling through displays)
– bowls and food compartment are removable for easy cleaning and dejamming
– locking lid prevents pets knocking over and spilling food
Cons (minor):
– power cord is very short. We don’t have an outlet right next to cat dining area, so will need a longer cable/extension. Since it is USB and 1 Amp, this should be easy, but manufacturer should consider a longer cable.
– battery backup requires 4 D batteries. Wish it were Li-ion internal, save on replacing batteries.
– battery compartment is on the bottom, so need to completely dismantle (including hopper) and flip upside down to replace batteries so food doesn’t spill. Could have put compartment access on back.
Note: the splitter is just that – it splits the food into two. So need to double food volume for two pets, as each will only get half of each meal.
Pictures show exploded (unassembled) view and assembled view.
Will update this after some more solid use. Hoping this will stop the early morning scratching and meoying for breakfast, as well as occasional weekend trips without having someone come over 2-3 times a day.
I have a diabetic cat that I feed Young Again. This food is very small kibble with no filler (carbs). My non-diabetic cat will gorge herself on Young Again and then throw it up. While working from home, I had been feeding a couple of tablespoons multiple times a day, which would not work when I returned to the office. Now I am able to feed my cats small portions very 4 hours. The diabetic cat no longer is asking me for kibble every time I go to the bathroom. The non-diabetic cat is no longer gorging herself and making me clean up messes several times a day.
Note: Young Again suggests free feeding. Even following all of their suggestions. my one cat would continue to gorge whenever I tried free feeding.
Concerns others have reported:
1. There were no problems with the feeder with reverting back to power after a power outage. This was tested with multiple power outages during the Texas power outages in March. The power would come back on a couple of times a day for 1 to 1 1/2 hours and then back off. This went on for 4 days.
2. You will have to play around with the portion size. When the container is down to around 1/4 full, more food will come out. Young Again is a very small kibble which Young Again suggests feeding 1/4 to 1/3 cup per cat per day by weight. I only use 1 portion size every 4 hours. Some days I add an extra portion or 2 if the bowl is empty when I get home or when I get up in the morning.
3. My cats love the tilted bowls. My one cat use to take a mouth full of food and then eat it over the counter. Now she eats it over the bowl.
4. The annoying voice that calls the cats. Only use this for a couple of days, then erase. My cats are very attuned to the sound of the food dropping into the bowl.
It’s really convenient, though I do feel that sometimes it doesn’t distribute the food in each bowl equally. Other than that 10/10. The price is great for what it does and it holds a lot of food so no need to constantly refill.
I love this cat feeder! Our cats love using it too. I like how we can control how much the cats can potentially eat in a day. One of the cats is slightly heavier than where the vet wants him to be at which was a reason for getting this feeder. Quality is good and very easy to use! I like how there is the splitter allowing for use of two bowls. There’s up to about 48 levels of feeding amounts. I set it to 2-4 servings 6 x a day. I recommend this item! 🙂
Use this for our two cats. Love that we can fill the sizeable bin at the top of the feeder and not have to worry about refilling it for a few weeks.
Works great and love that you can set multiple feedings times and amounts.
The only reason this is not getting 5 stars is because we recorded our voices to call the cats to eat but the recording plays for EACH portion – so if they get 4 portions of food, it plays 4 times over and over. It got annoying and we turned that off. Would like that recording to only play once.
Also, it takes a bit of trial and error to figure out exactly how big a portion is of your kibble/food especially if it is being split into two bowls. Would be nice if this was a little more streamlined.
I would still absolutely recommend this to any cat owner, especially if you worry about missing a feeding or might travel (when we can!) and be away for a night or two.
It’s annoying that you have to reset the entire feed cycle if you need to decrease the portion size. Also what is 1 portion size? I have had a power outage already with the feeder on and the cats were not fed luckily I am home. the The tubes for the food splitter leaves the bowls too close together and will not really work for pets that fight. I needed to elevate the unit and have pvc pipe attached to the tubes to to increase the space between bowls.
Easy to use and to setup. However, if you use the two-way splitter, it’ll come out more food from one side.
This is perfect for 3 grown kitties as one I had before they’d all be bumping heads. The splitter is what really sets it apart from other feeders.
Your pet must be of same age to eat the same food.The dispenser was designed only for one type of food.
So my husband and I bought the feeder so we could go away to the cabin. It’s great! It’s extremely customizable in regards to portion size. I have one fluffy boy who will eat all the food if we just left out a ton. So this works quite well for us and the Floofs. Love the customizable voice recordings that you can do as well.
This thing is awesome. Super easy to program. Holds lots of kibble. I took the bowls off because I have 3 cats and one is a bully and will hog all the food. I plan to get a boot mat for the kibble to drop onto so all 3 cats can get what they need. Love the ability to record the voice. The sound goes off and they all come running even from other floors of the house. No more cats waking me up at 6am. No more gorging themselves on free feeding when I go away for a couple days. Great product. One of the best things I’ve bought in a while!
I agree with many other users that the divided portions could be uneven, but because one side is always less than the other, it actually helps with my fatter cat’s diet as I assigned her to that side. It can be loud indeed but there’s always the option to take away the metal plate and just use the plastic base. I’m not using the voice recording function as the recording quality is not very good and my cats don’t recognize my voice. It has been durable and working perfectly so far!
Facile d’utilisation et a programmer, quand j’ai su la quantit d’une portion c’tait facile d’ajuster par la suite. Un peu bruyant lorsque les croquettes tombent dans le plat de stainless mais sinon trs bonne machine !
This works incredibly .
This has been the perfect answer to my overweight cat. I tried slow feeder but all that changed was how long he was at the food bowl for this offers a control on limits.
My cats love it. It comes in a nice box (so would make a nice gift). Super easy to set up and use.
Machine was very easy to use. Cats love it! Great portion control. One of my cats has a digestive issue and the vet recommended we give smaller portions more often to help and without the feeder I would not have been able to keep up with it. Only issue was the decorative silver band around the feeder was not glued on properly and it’s started to peel, not a deal breaker though since I can just glue it back. Machine is sturdy enough that when the cats jump on the top it doesn’t move and the buttons are positioned so that they can’t accidentally feed themselves more. Worth every penny to be able to sleep in now and not stress about portion control and feeding times.
Easy to assemble, and our kittens love it. We work long hours and wanted to automate food and water as much as we could so that our kittens are less dependent on us. This has been an amazing addition to our lives because it works great. We refill the food and set up the time. That’s all we do and it takes care of our kittens well. Great buy!
This food dish is easy to program and loud enough that the cats can hear it downstairs when it goes off for feeding time. They go running every time! Great purchase.
Cats love this thing! As soon as they hear the first portion fall in, they gather around to feast!
The WellToBe is quite effective in this means. The portions come out very equal. Programming options are very effective. It’s a little annoying if you miss the correct portion; however, because there’s no way to go back
One thing I will say is that it has a FANTASTIC recorder function; however, it is quite loud. The ability to adjust the volume would be very valuable. As it stands, my girlfriend and I had to remove the recording. But, the cats know what food falling into a bowl sounds like, too, so they’re fine with it, haha.
Another thing is one cat is much more dominant and knowledgeable when it comes to automatic feeders, so he will start eating in one bowl, then switch to the other bowl before my other (slower) cat figures out it’s dinner time. I think they will work it out over time; but, the dominant cat also tended to block both bowls with his body while he at one bowl, then went to the other one.
My younger, less wise cat has adjusted to this to some degree; however, we had to put the device on a cat scratcher post, that way the older cat can’t block the bowls as easily with his body.
After that, he began simply stretching his neck over into his bowl and eating out of it.
Cats are territorial, so having the bowls right next to each other is a bit problematic; but, we’ve put some cardboard between the cat scratcher and the WellToBe feeder, which gives them some privacy. After that, it’s been working perfectly. I’m more concerned with the practicality of the cats being fed and not waking me up; and, while it took a little bit of tweaking, I count the feeder as 100% worth it.
Given that this feeder is basically the first of its kind–at least, given how difficult it is to find a multi-cat feeder, I would give it a 96% out of 100%.
I can finally sleep!
It is the best purchase ever. What would make it better? The bowl size. They are massive and too big for my cats. If it came with smaller bowls I would give it 5 stars. Otherwise, it’s super easy to use. I just wish it had a back up battery or could hold a charge as my old apartment building has frequent power shortages. If it happens during feeding time, my fur babies miss a meal.
We use this for morning feeding and it works perfectly. It’s very large so it can fit many meals. It’s a bit on the loud side, but beats having to get up in the morning for feeding.

I got this for my two cats when I go out of town on weekends. So far it has worked as I expected/hoped it would. The recorded message feature is a fun addition, but it appears to play the recording on repeat for the same number of times corresponding to the number of “portions” you set for a given meal. Each “portion” is quite small, so it’s likely that your pet(s) will hear the recording 5-10 times in a row (or up to 48 times for a large dog). This can be quite hilarious if you come up with something clever. One con is that it doesn’t seem possible to change the volume that the recording plays at, and the pre-set volume isn’t very loud. Your cat would probably not hear it if they are more than a room away. My only other suggestion for a future model would be to make the outlet for the two bowls on opposite sides of the unit. My cats get along ok, but they are quite nervous to eat right next to each other. This can be solved by putting a cardboard sheet or piece of paneling in between the two bowls so they can’t see or touch each other while eating. If they could eat on opposite sides that would be more ideal. The hopper size seems adequate for a couple days of cat feeds. With the option to program up to 6 feeds a day, I don’t see that being an issue for most pet owners. Not sure how long it would last for dogs. Probably no more than a day or two depending on the size of the dog. Using a fairly small circular cat food and haven’t seen any issues with the food getting stuck while dispensing.
My cats are food-focused, but this machine is super useful for redirecting their focus. Morning are usually hard, especially with a cat waking you up hours before your alarm because they are hungry. Now they wait for the feeder!
It is true that portion size does NOT evenly split but that being said, once you do the math conversions, you can get pretty close. Ex: my adult cat is set to 3 portions per feeding(4). It is beautifully created and easy to put together and very easy to set up. Also, the best part is that there is a battery backup! So if you go away and power cuts out, the battery kicks in and your lil ones are still good to go! Oh and the bowls are sturdy!!!!
This is perfect and the cats now know when they get fed and DON’T wake me up at 4:30 am. I could travel for the weekend and the cats were fed well. You can set the portions and I love it.
This has been the best purchase I have ever made for my cats. During quarantine and working from home my two cats would constantly be begging me for food, I would give in because I was trying to work, and this became worse and worse over time. Since this purchase they now no longer depend on me AT all for their food. They hear the voice recording and immediately go running and wait for the food to drop out. The portion sizes (once you get them perfect) and the 6 times for feeding are perfect. I have the splitter in it because I have two cats, I find it splits it quite evenly as well. It flashes when the food is low so you know when you need to fill it. My cats are back to a healthy weight after using this as the portions are perfect every time.
We bought this for our two cats and is such a great purchase! It is so easy to use and is programmable for specific feeding times! We love this feeder and would highly recommend.
Great! Bought it cos one of my cats is obsessed with food and wouldn’t let the other one eat so I couldn’t ever travel without having someone overseing them. Now I can leave home for a few days knowing they will get the same amount at the same time and not to worry!
LIFE SAVEERRRR!!!!! Omg. I kid you not. Best purchase of my entire life. I slept for 8hrs for the first time in 10 years. I can’t believe I haven’t had this my entire life. I would pay 500 for this device if I had to knowing what I know now. SOOOO happy
I like the design, it seems modern but practical also. Really easy to use, the instructions were well explained. Great size, not too big or too small, distributes the food well. I used my own bowls because the ones in the package were too big for my kittens, but I love everything that comes with the product. I love the fact that I can use it with electricity. 100% would recommend! 🙂
The Cats were a bit spooked with the voice at first but then when they got use to it it just makes life so easy. Being able to plug in is awesome and perfect for 2 cats as it fills 2 dishes and the capacity is excellent. love i
This is my second auto feeder and I’m very happy with this one. It is about the same size/thickness as my last one which allows for the storage of a whole (small) bag of food. The design is excellent for keeping the kitties from opening the hopper and helping themselves to extra meals. Also the design for locking the dish to the base is good enough to keep the bowl from being pulled away as long as you don’t move the feeder (it unclips very easily).
The programable 6 meal settings and up to 49 portions per meal make it extremely customizable. As our new housemate is a nursing mother, I wasn’t sure how many times to feed her and how much per portion but the manual override means I can add additional servings anytime I need to and determine how much she is eating so I can increase the portions accordingly.
I was excited to use the voice record to train the cat(s) to come to my voice, but have now disabled it as it is quite loud with no volume control and I currently have a 6:00 a.m. feeding that I don’t want to hear myself calling out. But I didn’t have that feature before so it isn’t a big deal and I can always adjust my feeding schedule to avoid waking myself up.
I love that it has a power cord with battery back up (my last one was on battery only). Be warned that when power is lost and the batteries take over it will automatically dispenses a portion of food. I think that is great as many pets can be scared by a power outage and this provides some distraction.
All in all I (and my new kitty) am very pleased with this feeder!
As for the machine itself, really impressed with how simple it is. All the washable components come out easily and there are no small parts that might wear more easily over time (all the moving parts seem thicker, larger and sturdy). Setting it up was really easy, and I had it all washed, dried, set up in under 10minutes. Even the packaging was surprisingly cute. Highly recommended!
he feeder was easy to program, we did find that the portions may come out uneven but if you are doing 4-5 portions it ends up being about the same
Have an auto pet feeder that doesn’t cost an arm and a leg is amazing! Price was definitely a deciding factor on this purchase. It is easy to use, easy to clean and my cats are already used to being fed by it. One this I will say, is that they are also still expecting me to feed them. My one cat scratches on my bedroom door between 3-4am everyday looking for his breakfast, very spoiled and bad! I think after enough time this will stop!
So overall, the product is amazing, but the cats seem to be defective! The only reason I am giving this 4 stars is because I thought it would make my cats stop scratching on the door all together, but that has yet to happen!
I have 2 cats, this has been on my wish list for some time. I recommend if your cats don’t use a specific bowl and don’t eat all the food in one sitting. The splitter doesn’t dispense equally into each bowl. I’m not sure by how much, but its noticeable. I’ve had random feedings happen that weren’t scheduled on the machine. Not a huge deal as it was just a small portion, but it did wake me up in the middle of the night as its quite loud hitting the stainless bowls. Machine also dispenses a few tablespoons of food when unplugged or is reset regardless of memory programmed.
Love the fact that my cats have not bothered me for food and know when to expect food in just one week! Im still overall very happy with this purchase! Recommend!
I asked myself why I did not get it sooner?! Easy to set up. Works like a charm. I have 2 cats who gets fed twice a day so it is perfect.
Love it, my cats are no longer bugging me at 5 am for breakfast. I have it set for 7am and 6pm, my cats know the schedule and made for it to dispense.
I love the dispenser. My two cats are very intrigued by the sound it makes. I have recorded myself every time there is food being provided. I feel peaceful knowing that even if I am not there at the specific time that they should be fed, food is being given to them!
I have recommended the products to my friends and family.
We love our small pet feeder. It’s smart, and very easy to preset their meal times and amounts. The voice recorder feature is amazing. Once we recorded it with my wife’s voice, we played it and our cats came running to see what was going on it was a very fun moment for us, seeing them both reacting to their new gadget 😀
They are getting used to it. We should have bought this earlier.
Bonus: we received it 5 days earlier then expected!!!
Bon produit qualit / prix pour mes 2 chats. Bon format de rcipient. Calcul des portions un peu compliqu a ajuster la premire fois et le bruit des croquettes dans les bols est vraiment fort. Somme toute un bon aCHAT!
It is great!!! You have to adjust portions as it is quite small maybe a 16/ of a cup but you can select up to 48 portions each feeding. .. it has yet to jam, it has a huge storage container for food and it will even record your voice to tell them to come and eat.
Both cats no longer bug me in the morning for food too! bonus!!!
High quality, highly recommend…
I love that it is for 2 cats! And it gives me peace of mind if I work longer hours or if I’m not coming home for the evening. I want my cats to be fed a specific amount and I like how it keeps the food fresh and this is perfect for that.
(12/10/2020 I am editing this to confirm the cat did, in fact, tip the whole apparatus over and no longer claws at the feeder.)
Other than that, I like everything else about the feeder. The food dispenses evenly on both sides and I’ve got the audio recorder set to something I find pretty hilarious (my cats wouldn’t be impressed, but they don’t speak English). It’s easy to take out and clean the hopper and bowls.
I purchased this because my cats wouldn’t let me sleep through the night. I’m sleeping again, so mission accomplished. The feeder might not be perfect, but it’s still pretty good.
The feeder works well, as per advertised. Would recommend it to anyone wanting the convenience of timed feedings for their pets.
Item is just as described. Easy to disassemble for cleaning Simple and easy to program. Cats learned how to use it in a day.
Been using so far for a few days now, no complaints.
Only con: recording function- voice sounds strange after. Don’t think I’ll use it. Cats have gotten used to the other noise (makes a noise when about to dispense food)
Would be 5 stars but the food is unevenly distributed and one side gets more than the other.
My cats were a little surprised when they heard my voice from the other room. But easy to use and easy to portion the food. Very good for when i travel
Seems like the only product available to fit my needs for two cats, seems to be working just fine- I hope it gives a good service life.
Time will tell, but I also expect my overweight kitties will start losing weight as well as the portions are more controlled than what I or my husband would give.
It was very easy to set up. The only difficulty I had was fully understanding how the measurements worked. But that is likely my old age brain kicking. I have it set now perfectly.
This is an awesome auto feeder. You can record your voice to call animals for meals and program you to 6 time slots. Super satisfied with my purchase.
I had purchased an automatic food dispenser by another brand, but it failed on multiple levels causing me to return it. I’ll detail those issues here and explain how this model overcame them.
First, with the other machine (that I returned) it only took a quick press of the manual food dispense button for food to be dispensed. Just from random scratching at the machine, my cats eventually figured out how to feed themselves which rendered it useless. This model overcomes that issue by placing the buttons on top instead of in the front, which is both more convenient for humans to press and less likely for animals to hit accidentally. They also designed this model so that it takes a 2-second press for the food to be dispensed manually, which also avoids the issue of random triggering by the cats.
Second, the ratio of height to width on the other model was quite high, meaning that the tower was easier to knock over. In their attempts at getting at the food they knew was inside, my cats would often knock it over, rendering it totally useless. This model is thicker, more stable, heavier (because it holds a good amount of food), and further stabilized by the double-dish setup, making it pretty difficult to knock over. That said, my desperate cats were still able to push it around on the floor and did manage to knock this one over once. Ultimately, I had to come up with the solution shown in the images. I used plastic “hanger strap” that you can find in the plumbing section of any hardware store and that seems to have resolved this issue permanently.
Third, with two cats and a single dish, it was obviously problematic to feed them fairly. One tends to be the alpha cat and usually gets first dibs, after which there usually wasn’t much left for the other one. This model is one of the only ones I’ve seen on Amazon with a double-bowl setup and it works flawlessly. They both get fed the same amount at the same time and everything is fair.
The only other thing that would have made this model completely perfect would have been smart capabilities so that I could control it remotely from my phone and/or with my voice using Alexa or Google Home.
