Easy to set up and use. The digital timer is a game changer to ensure they both open at the same time ( I bought two) so my dominant puss does not eat his gentle brother’s food. Highly recommended
The three bowl feeder is great. It’s digital so the cat can’t break into it. She managed to figure out the two bowl feeder, she scratched at the timer until it turned and opened. The three bowl one is easier to clean, you just take out the whole bowl part.
Bought so I could make sure my kitten had his meals when I was at the office, or out with friends. He’s taken to it quite well, and it’s easy to assemble and clean. I love that it comes with an ice pack to keep wet food chilled/cool.
This item is perfect for feeding your cat at times you can’t be there for short periods . Like me working awkward shifts. It has a ice pack that fits under the food tray so helps to keep the food fresh. And is very reliable so far. Also it is good value compared to similar items
This is a great cat feeder. We use it for short weekends away, and it works just as we had hoped. In the ideal world, we would like one that has more compartments and can be set for more than 48hrs so we could stretch it to 3/4 days. I like the clockwork timers as I feel that they are more reliable and easier to set than electronic ones.
The cat used to wake up the household at 5 am in the morning to be fed. Now he gets his late night and morning meals delivered by this marvellous gadget, and I get all of my zzz’s.
I have three large Maine Coon troublemakers that have appetites comparable to very hungry dogs. Instead of placing them in kennels for New Year’s Eve, I opted for a more considerate approach to avoid their potential unhappiness and the havoc they might wreak in an unfamiliar environment.
I purchased two of these special feeders, in addition to the Cat-Mate circular feeders. These proved to be a great solution, allowing me to set them for 48 hours, unlike the circular feeders that only last 12 hours. The feeders worked perfectly, and my boys were content, enjoying their meals at their usual times. It seemed like they didn’t even notice our absence overnight!
I am a cat sitter and have added these to my repertoire as a service for my clients. I loan them to my clients so they can save money on physical visits while still ensuring their cat is fed. So far they have worked perfectly and always opened as programmed. They are also very very easy to use and set.
Worth every penny, I use it for my diabetic cat as she has to be fed at specific times of the day and analogue timers are not as accurate. Easy to set up
No real negatives it does what it says it will do. My cat attempted to get into each compartment as she could smell the food but thankfully didn’t manage it although the item got pushed around a bit in the process.
They’re strong, the timers work OK, you can remove the bowls and put in dishwasher. There are freezer packs to keep cool in Summer. The cats seemed happy – they didn’t lynch us after we returned home long after brekkie time, after a night away! So we have our freedom back for short breaks in their routine
Excellent cat feeder that has an option to set one time per 24hr period, or 2 times per day, giving you and your cat a variety of options.
Fairly easy to set up once you get the hang of it. The only gripe is that because it does sit a bit higher off the floor due to the ice pack, then my cat has had a bit of difficulty in reaching the far corners of the feeder to retrieve wet food from.
This has been an absolute godsend and has meant I’ve not needed to get a cat sitter just for a night away which honestly pays for itself. I had to get two because I’ve got two cats, and the three meal slots really mean I’ve only got two meals covered but it buys me time and means I know the cats are fed and when. They do eat from it and they’ve learnt what the sound is. /Sometimes/ they pick the food out of the tray and eat it outside, but I think that depends on the toughness of the food because it’s quite a small deep tray. But it works perfectly and as advertised and the cats haven’t been able to get into it (yet, fingers crossed!). This was well worth the money and has given me so much freedom it’s appreciated.
The timer function is great, and my cat got on well with it. However the ice pack compartment is tiny, so rather than bothering with it, I’d suggest that you chill/ freeze the food prior to filling instead.
Works as expected! Easy to use. Quiet, sounds like a small clock. Seems fairly durable but I wouldn’t want to drop it. The lids open nicely.
Great for when I need to go out.
I have an elderly cat who needs to be fed little and often, including during the night! Those 3am feeds were starting to bite me so I had to try this bowl! It is a very well made bowl, larger than I thought and very sturdy. It was easy to set up and is easy to keep clean. Kitty was very suspicious at first but I fed her using the open section at every meal the first day. She didn’t eat the timed meal the first attempt. I decided to use the timer during the day on day two and she ate those. The second 3 am feed she ate everything. Now I know that I have 2 timed meals available so if I wanted to go out I could! The mini ice pack keeps the food fresh even though it’s been really warm lately. Honestly I don’t know what I would do now without it! Well worth it. It has a low battery indicator so I don’t have to worry about it and it’s easy to reset the timers if I need to. All in all a great purchase!
This is my third purchase. These arw great, reliable and easy to use. I use them daily to control how much dry food is available. I also use it for wet food and treats too! Only tried the dual feeder but very happy with i
Manual dial means timings are not precise, but near enough. If you have hard floors invest in a rubber mat otherwise your cat may scoot it all round the room!
We have a six bowl feeder which suffers with flies getting in: this is better and the individual bowls are easier to clean. Mechanical timers are a bit course and it needs an on/off switch rather than having to keep taking the battery out to stop it. Otherwise would get 5 stars.
So far so good. The timers are simple 48 hour clockwork, so operation couldn’t be simpler, just close the lid and rotate the dial. Being simple to operate means it’s easy for friends to be shown how to use it when we’re away on holiday. There’s none of the hassle of LED displays and multiple buttons
This is such a great product, especially when I have to go to work. I use it for my kittens wet food so they can be fed when I’m in the office. The little ice pack keeps it fresh and the trays are large enough to fit more than a packet in at a time. A must have for pet owners.
This cat feeder is simple and works well. I have an older version which has lasted 30+ years and this one has a similar build quality. I got it to supplement the other feeder as we have two young cats. I have used it four times and so far is reliable and opens up on time.
This is a great product, when you are away for a few hours. The timer can be set for up to 48hrs, providing 2 separate meals. Very pleased with the purchase, as is my kitten.
I purchased this for my cat as we stayed away overnight. I recommend that you do a few trial runs whilst you are home before you use it for the first time to allow your pet to familiarise itself with the feeder. My cat has no issues and is happy using it. The plastic containers are easy to remove and clean and the ice box is a nice extra. The only thing I would change is that I would make the time dial digital so that it is more precise. You have to calculate how many hours from the present time you want to feeder to open and it’s not always exact using the dial. But other than that it is perfect.
We have had this cat bowl for a few weeks now. We recently acquired a cat and he doesn’t really like other people so its been difficult to go away.
I have used this device twice for wet food when we have gone away. It seems to keep the food nice and fresh when you use the ice pack.
The time allows you to set an opening time anything up to 48 hours later. It works without any particular problem and is easy to use (just adjust the dial for the amount of hours you want it to delay opening for). You can set a different timer for each bowl which has been a godsend for overnight trips
The height of the bowl is perfect for our average sized cat, it comes with feet if you want to prop it up higher. The only thing i would say is the individual cat bowls are not made of the thickest plastic but they seem durable enough for what they are.
Overall i would say i am very impressed with this product. I would recommend it to anyone who needs an automatic cat feeder. We have used this specifically for when we are away as opposed to daily feed but i’m sure that would work fine to.
Given there are many more expensive models on the market i think this product is good value for money and does everything we need it to.
Product as described and works fine. Nice and simple to use. Picked it up with the lid not closed properly and the whole lid detached but it was easy to click back into place. Nice and easy to wash trays.
Only downside is that the timer (a basic clock mechanism) keeps running so that if you put it in a drawer and don’t use it for a few days the lids pop open inside the drawer which can make it awkward to get out! Could do with an off switch rather than having to keep taking the batteries out.
These work fairly well, although as the timing is done through turning a knob, it’s not super accurate so not really possible to time it so that two go off at the same time for two cats. Also there is no off switch so once the battery is in it won’t stop ticking unless you take it out – which is quite annoying. But it’s not particularly expensive so I’ve given four rather than three stars.
What I’d really like is a feeder that both used microchips and timer, so I can feed my two cats on a timer without worrying the greedy one will eat everything
