Not worth the extra moneyâŠfollow-up
My daughter recommended the WoPet automatic feeder to me so I could leave my car home and not bother my neighbors when I would be away for a few days. She raved about the unit she has. Well, the model I bought was not the model she has and it did not live up to the hype. The WiFi and App were easy enough to set up, and initially all seemed well. While I was away, however, I received a dispensing error notice after 2 days. The reason being that bowl on this unit is very shallow, and the food backs up very easily if there is any food left behind from the prior feeding. I also watched my camera at each feeding to see my cat, and not once did I capture him eating. (Poor camera angle or placement?) The WoPet App on this unit is not as user friendly as the PetZero App used on the unit my daughter has.The voice recording you create that is played at the time of each feeding, along with the food storage capacity were nice hence my 2 stars rating. I am returning this unit and I will most likely order the unit my daughter owns, the WoPet 6L Automatic Cat Feeder, which seems to work better at a lesser cost.This is an addendum to my review. I was contacted by a WoPet customer service representative. They offered me a different WoPet model at no cost. I asked for the same model my daughter has, which is the WoPet Patrol. This unit is wonderful! It works off the PetZero app, the bowl is deeper, and you are able to create a voice recording. The only thing lacking from the model I originally bought is that it does not have a camera. I found this not to be a problem since the camera never captured my cat. If WoPet could upgrade this unit with a camera that works, this would be an amazing product. So, although I originally gave WoPet a 2 star review for the product I originally bought, I have changed my review to 5 stars as a result of their exceptional customer service!

Great product with excellent customer service
I purchased this smart feeder for my cat. It was straightforward to set up though you need to connect your phone to 2.4GHz wifi. I have the same SSID for 2.4GHz and 5.0GHz, which made the setup a bit complicated. As a workaround, I set up my guest network on 2.4GHz, after which the setup was a piece of cake.This feeder is well made, with many thoughts behind its design and operation. It came with two feeder sizes - one for large kibbles and the other for smaller ones. I used the smaller feeder for my cat. The small portion size allows you to control how much food you want to dispense. Features that I liked about this smart feeder are -- You can program this feeder to dispense up to six meals a day and manually dispense any portions at any time.- You can toggle OFF or ON any programmed feed. I use this feature when someone feeds my cat out of turn.- The HD camera is very clear. I use this when I am away and want to check if my cat is eating.- This feeder has an inbuilt microphone and speaker. You can hear the sound of food dispensing and cat eating. I can call my cat to the dispenser by talking to and then watching him via HD camera.- Whenever food is dispensed, I get a notification with the number of portions dispensed. The app also shows the history of portions dispensed either programmatically or manually. It helps me track how many portions have been dispensed each day.Recently my unit developed an issue, and I reached out to Wopet support. I explained the issue to them, and they kindly offered to send me a replacement. This feeder is an excellent product developed and supported by people who proudly stand behind their product. I am not aware of any better pet food dispenser with all these features, reliability, price, and excellent customer support. I will purchase it again if I need to.

Updating my previous review.
At first I thought: App freezes every time you select ANYTHING. Cannot customize any of the settings let alone record or use camera. Bought two with high hopes. Will be returning.Edit: Initially I COULD connect the feeders to the app but it wouldnât work when actually trying to use anything in the app.We have a dual-band Arris SURFboard Modem & Router. Found that my phone kept defaulting to 5ghz when using the app but the feeders will only connect to 2ghz (but for some reason I could still set up the app?). I had to get into the Arris settings, block my phone from the 5ghz port (found instructions online), then use the option for âmanual set upâ within the app for the feeders (couldnât use the QR code). Once I finally got them to sync, I then unblocked my phone (iPhone 11 Max Pro) on the 5ghz connection and the phone still connected to the feeders. Thankfully.We then recently set up a mesh system. The app wouldnât even set up this time and I had to delete all of the settings to start over.I redid the whole process again with modifications for the mesh (connecting the feeders to the modem/router by first blocking both my phone and mesh from grabbing the signal), then kept mesh blocked so they only connect to the modem but unblocked my phone. Took a little bit of trial and error because we donât have our connections all labeled, but it only took about an hour to get it set up, including troubleshooting.Sometimes the feeders take a while to connect to the app when trying to feed manually, so I just have to wait until both are online or I canât feed one right after the other.Overall, these feeders do work well and with hardly any learning curve for our cats (canât say the same for me clearly, haha).They love it and I love not being woken up at 4:30am by hungry kitties. They eat their breakfast and go back to bed. Also, good piece of mind while out of town, or God forbid, incase of an emergency that prevented us from getting home for a period of time (closest family/friend is 3 hrs). They make me feel less anxious.The cats respond well to the microphone, so I can call them to the feeders to ensure one does not eat the food of the other when Iâm not there to referee. The camera helps with this so. Although, I would suggest it would be better if the camera pointed down more so I can see the food in the dish to make sure one is eating all of their portion and itâs not getting gobbled up later by the other.I would recommend these feeders if you know how to work with your specific hardware. Hope this helps someone else.
