Automatic Pet Feeder | Auto Cat Dog Timed Programmable Food Dispenser Feeder for Medium Small Pet Puppy Kitten - Portion Control Up to 4 Meals/Day,Voice Recording,Battery and Plug-in Power 7L(White)

This makes timed feeding easy! We had a different style feeder that the motor blew on after about 5 years of use so decided to try something different. I love that you can control the portion size easily, it’s been reliably dispensing food 4 times a day since we set it up a couple months ago doing exactly what it’s supposed to do. My only complain it that I wish it had some sort of optional separator or different tray so both my cats could eat at the same time. Our older cat patiently waits for our young cat to finish eating before he starts eating because she pushes the food all over the tray. Sometimes she eats all the food so we have to give him extra from the hopper. If it had an optional divider or a tray that tapered the food off in two different directions that would be ideal! That would be my only complaint!Edit: we have now bought 3 of these for all 3 of our cats. They work great. They have the smallest portion size that I could find for a reasonable priced automatic feeder. We needed very small portions since we feed 4 times a days and it’s hard to find small portion size and 4 programmable meals. These are just perfect for our needs!ALSO our youngest cat is constantly trying to reach up inside to get more food and while she sometimes gets a few bits from the next unemptied portion behind the “curtain” inside, it has stood up to her constant abuse and still dispenses perfectly!

After reading the terrible reviews of lower-priced automatic feeders (most of which said, "It stopped working after a week..."), I opted for this model. As promised, it is very easy to use, looks great, and so far (hope I haven't jinxed us), is working perfectly and giving our extremely food-motivated rescue cat a consistent 2 small meals a day, even while we were out of town on vacation. (The cat sitter did come once a day and give her and our other cats canned food once a day, too and check their water, of course.) Very happy with this purchase.

I just started using this feeder (we bought two for multiple cats). I found it relatively easy to set up. Because I had read the reviews before purchasing maybe my expectations were set reasonably. It’s quite a bit of repetitive button pushing to get times set but worth it because so far they work great! I also began by putting the food into it with my scoop to get my cats used to finding their food in the tray instead of their regular bowl ( per another review). They have taken to it like it’s no big deal..although the first couple times it dispensed food, the cats that were close by were a little alarmed by the sound. I’m happy with it so far. Solves a lot of problems for us with our crazy schedules.

The pet feeders worked wonderfully for about 4 months until the wheel suddenly stopped working. Somehow it got stuck on food or something and broke. Now I am forced to use the bigger portion wheel but it doesn't really work for the portion I want to feed my cats. I don't even know where to buy a new wheel. Can I have a replacement sent to me?EDIT: I contacted the seller just to request a replacement small paddle, but after sending him a video showing how my machine didn't work, they sent me an entirely new machine! Customer service response isn't immediately but it is timely.

I love having this for my cat since he had the tendency to over eat until he vomited. The three small feedings I now give him through the nighttime and morning has stopped that. He also no longer wakes us up at 4:00 a.m. for more food.The unit was easy to program, except for having to convert from military time. The food comes out easily and accurately. I am pleased I have it plugged in plus backup batteries in case the power goes out.This unit is large enough for several cats or a small/medium sized dog, as well. It holds a lot of food.

I found the setup easy, instructions easy to follow, beautiful machine! Now for the ISSUES! The chord for the beautiful white machine in our mostly white kitchen is "BLUE" plus it sticks out of the back of the machine making it IMPOSSIBLE to place it even close to the wall. Okay, so we placed it sideways along the wall, looks a little dumb and to program or change programs you have to move it. NOW for the biggie!!! It is "IMPOSSIBLE" to change to the smaller feeder using the include instructions!!! "IMPOSSIBLE"! Whoever wrote these should have stayed home that day! They have absolutely NOTHING to do with this machine! NO six screws to be found. There is one and it does nothing to allow you to remove the larger tray! Someone posted a picture of the top open but there's no instructions on how to make this happen! For fear of breaking the thing and losing my money, I am returning it! I will go elsewhere for another feeder! Shame because this was so easy otherwise?

Couple issues here, but I'll start positive. This feeder has allowed me to feed my cat a bit at a time throughout the day.On the other hand, this feeder has serious drawbacks. 1) The feeding tray / bowl is PLASTIC, which cats are ALLERGIC to. I spent 100$ at the vet today sorting out the rash on my cat's chin, after ~ 3mo of feeder-use.2) The feeding options run 1 - 40, and there is no down arrow to adjust the portions. Even after swapping out the large-portion setting for the small-portion setting, I use no more than 3-portions at a time. If I want to dial that back for a given meal time, I have to cycle all the way thru 40 portions pressing a little button on the feeder. That's just annoying.3) Using the wall-plugin option for power means that if it's unplugged/power-resets/jostled, the meal times / quantities reset. Then I have to cycle thru all 40 portion-options to adjust my cat's feeding schedule. I haven't put in batteries because I'd like to avoid re-setting all the portions.Overall I wish I had spent even x2 the price to get a feeder with 1) a ceramic / stainless steel bowl, 2) a remote, and 3) a re-chargeable battery.Save yourself the vet bills + frustration and get something a little better.
