PETLIBRO Automatic Cat Feeder, 5G WiFi Pet Feeder for Two Cats or Dogs with Remote Control, 5L Cat Food Dispenser with Low Food Sensor, 1-10 Meals Per Day, Up to 10s Meal Call for Pets

Very happy with the feeder! A great option for a single-cat household. The setting-up process is a bit of a hassle but the machine is always responsive so you get used to it. I only wish that the portions were a little smaller so that I can have more control over the quantity of food. I find that for my cat, 1 portion is too little but 2 portions is too much. Nonetheless, once you figure out an overall system for your cat's food, it works out.

Easy to program and use. Cats like it now, but one of them was a bit suspicious of the bright lighting on the front panel to begin

Worked fine for 2 years and all of a sudden started giving an error and continously beeping. Tried to reset it, but it just starts beeping again.

Unfortunately stopped working after exactly 2 years. Before that is was working amazingly

I absolutely loved this product. I bought the 5l to test it and now I want to buy more 2 of them. Unfortunatelly the price increased around 30% in only 2 months! And this model is not even the one with wifi, which makes less competitive in relation to the ones with this feature. It's a shame. The product has good quality.

Depuis que j’ai acheter ce produit, plus besoin de penser a donner a manger à notre chat, le distributeur s’en charge, le réglage est assez simple et notre chat connais par coeur le bruit des croquettes qui tombent dans la petite gamelle. La fonction pile (non incluse) est aussi judicieux en cas de panne de courant. Je recommande.

TL;DR: Works and looks great with the exception of the recorded message feature. I bought this autofeeder for my cat out of desperation. She meows incessantly for 45 minutes or more before meal times which annoys my dog into shriek howling with every meow and causes me to contemplate double murder. I've only had this feeder for a couple days but so far it is working great! My cat is still learning that she must appeal to her new machine overlord for food, but she is already much better than she was. Overall, I am very happy with my purchase and I will update my review if anything changes. PROS: - Easy set-up. It takes a few minutes but unless you're changing the schedule all the time for some reason, it's really not terrible. Some reviews claim you have to cycle through every time and portion to change something but that's not true. You can use the "+" and "-" buttons to navigate to the meal slot you want to change without starting from the beginning. Unused slots will have a time but if you set the portion to zero they will not dispense anything. This is probably obvious but it did confuse me for a second. I set mine to have 4 meals spaced 6 hours apart and it's been working like a charm. - No jamming problems even with larger kibble so far. The cat food I buy has larger chunks interspersed in with smaller kibble and I was worried that it might jam up the dispenser. So far it has been working just fine. It has a helpful sticker on the lid that shows you the largest kibble size it will accommodate and it seems to be accurate. I bought the 5L version which holds 4-5 lbs of food. - My devious cat has yet to figure out how to get extra kibble from it. The panel auto-locks so she can't press any buttons. I've seen her stick her paw up the chute to dig around but she hasn't succeeded in any extra snacks yet as far as I can tell. It's only been a few days so time will tell if she will use her demon powers to beat the machine. I would suggest either putting this feeder on the floor or securing it in place because I suspect that my cat would be able to push it off a table and/or knock it over of it was empty enough. The weight D batteries alone might make it relatively stable to tipping though. I have not actually seen her move it yet but I remain wary because she is a larger cat at 14 lbs and generally a menace to society*. - It seems well-made and is very sleek and modern looking. Appearance is less important than function to me but it does look quite nice. - I like that there is a battery meter display even when plugged in. I intend to have it plugged in all the time but it will be nice to know when the back-up batteries need to be replaced. - After completing set-up, I decided to move the feeder and had not installed batteries in it yet. I was expecting to reset at least the time but was pleasantly surprised to see it did not reset at all. It was unplugged for all of 10 seconds so I can't attest to how long it can go without power or batteries before resetting the time. - A customer service rep from PETLIBRO messaged me before my product arrived with some helpful tips and reminder that they have customer service available 24 hours on week days if I need it and a 12 month warranty. I have not had a need to contact customer service but I thought the pro-active message was nice. CONS: - It is not clear from anywhere in the instructions what constitutes a portion. From my measurements, it seems that one portion is equivalent to approximately 1/8 cup. I am happy with this portion size but I wish it had been clear without requiring experimentation on my part. - In my opinion, the only truly poor feature about this product is the recorded message option (whether you intend to use it or not). Other reviews mention that the recording quality is very poor and I have to agree. It is very staticy and mine also makes a rhythmic rasping noise even when recording silence. I had no intention of using this feature anyway as the sound of a pin drop would probably send her scrambling from across the house if it meant food. The problem is that there doesn't seem to be a way to delete or turn off the recording without resetting the whole machine. I hit the record button by mistake during set-up, which is very easy to do, and I didn't want to start over. I "bypassed" it by hitting the record button quick succession to create as short of a recording as I possibly could. The quick blip of static when it dispenses food doesn't bother me but it is annoying you can't just turn this feature off all together. This is by no means a deal breaker to me but if having a nice recorded message is important to you, I would not recommend this feeder. - Not exactly a con but I prefer a shallow dish for feeding my cat. The bowl that comes with the feeder is deep but it is a nice bowl and I like that it has a tray that attaches to the feeder to keep it from being kicked around. Luckily her old shallow bowl fits nicely within the provided bowl and I haven't noticed any issues with spilling while doing this. Not a big deal but something to consider if it matters to you. *I promise that I actually love my cat very much! 😂 Picture attached. She's the best cat in the world... when she's not hungry.

Tenemos un gato en casa y usualmente le dábamos doble porción por accidente, además de que a veces nos despertaba en la madrugada para comer. Por ello decidimos comprar este alimentador automático, por las buenas reseñas y la fama que tenía y cumple EXACTAMENTE con nuestras expectativas. Llegó muy rápido y estaba en perfectas condiciones (nuevo). Incluye todo, el dispensador, un tazón de acero inoxidable, el cable con su conexión y el manual; lo único que no incluye son las pilas alcalinas, que las recomiendan utilizar para que siga funcionando si se va la luz. Al principio batallamos para programarlo, pero después de leer el manual y ver un tutorial en Youtube, logramos hacerlo y ya nos resulta fácil. Es únicamente para croquetas y tu puedes calendarizar sus comidas y porciones; hasta puedes grabarle un mensaje que se reproducirá cuando sea la hora de servir. La verdad cumplió con nuestras expectativas y nos encantó la compra. Lo único que si le faltó, a diferencia de otros, sería su uso por medio de una aplicación en el celular o una cámara en donde lo puedas ver por si llegas a estar fuera de casa o así. Pero si eso no es un impedimento, lo recomiendo 100%.

Estaba buscando un dispensador automático que no fuera demasiado sofisticado y fuese fácil de lavar. Este es el indicado. Sin WiFi ni cámara ni Bluetooth que en mi caso resultan innecesarios y sólo encarecerían el producto. Viene bien embalado y los materiales parecen de calidad. No pesa casi nada, todo de plástico a excepción del plato del comedero que es metálico. Trae cable y transformador para funcionar desde el primer momento. La tapa superior va roscada y tiene una muesca que indica la posición en que debe quedar. En cada dosificación se permite programar la cantidad de porciones que queremos. Según el tamaño de las croquetas que uséis caerá más o menos comida, por lo que ya iréis ajustando las porciones a medida que le deis uso. PROS El plato del comedero es metálico (no sé que tipo de metal es). Pesa poco. Trae un cajetín en la tapa del depósito para poner un bolsa antihumedad. Incluye el cable de alimentación con su transformador. Permite programar hasta 6 dosificaciones al día, y en cada dosificación especificar cuantas porciones queremos. Si le ponemos además 3 pilas (no incluidas) permite seguir funcionando aunque la casa se quede sin subministro eléctrico. Se puede grabar un audio que se reproducirá en aquellas dosificaciones que queramos. Por ejemplo llamando a nuestra mascota para que venga a comer. CONS La programación es la misma para cada dia de la semana, tampoco me preocupa demasiado en mi caso pero digamos que es sencilla. Si se dosifica demasiada comida llega a acumularse hasta cubrir toda la boca de salida, en ese momento el aparato lo detecta y aparece un mensaje de error. Si se vacía el plato de comida, el dispensador intentará seguir dosificando las porciones ahí donde se quedó parado. A mi entender si el comedero está lleno simplemente debería abortar esa dosificación y quedar listo para la siguiente cuando toque. El mensaje de ERROR tampoco me gusta, parece que algo se haya estropeado, lo mejor sería un indicador de que el plato está lleno. El manual de uso viene únicamente en alemán. Le mandé un mensaje al vendedor para que me enviara uno en español o inglés, sin éxito. Afortunadamente lo pude descargar en inglés directamente desde la web del fabricante.

Settings were easy once I had worked them out but took time to press and set programs initially You can change time and portion size to suit your cat. I bought the updated version that takes larger kibbles. My cat eats purina dried food which go through fine but can take larger ones. I haven’t programmed voice as you can hear when food is dropped in dish and no it’s not that loud but your cat will hear and run to it. Highly recommend so much easier than you feeding your cat and they get used to times of day when the food is coming. I programme a feed for late afternoon and I am often working so I know my pet is getting fed. If you have an overweight cat purrfect for adjusting their food intake to loose a bit of weight as long as you are not feeding too many tit bits in between Love the product
