PETKIT Automatic Cat Feeder, 2.4G WiFi Automatic Dog Feeder, App Control Pet Food Dispenser with Triple Fresh-Lock System, Up to 10 Meals Per Day, Schedule Feeding, Food Shortage Alert, 3L Capacity

UPDATE**: still 5stars. Update is bc people are saying this has a bad wifi system. I set up a separate 2.4G network off my main 5G network, and it works perfectly fine. I get 2-3 wifi Bars on my phone from where the feeder is so I do have a good network connection. Only have about avg 700-800mbps wifi and a ton of other items in the home like security cameras and smart plugs with multiple roommates also tech heavy, so the issue is definitely not with the feeder (unless they got a defective one idk). I did have my power go out once but due to the battery backup the feeder still dispensed food on time and reconnected to the wifi when the power came back on without me having to do anything. Also read someone said the app didn’t work with an iPhone. I have a newer iPhone and the app was super easy, as if I was downloading any other app (Instagram, etc.). Updating bc I don’t want people to overlook this feeder bc of a few reviews that don’t always apply.So this feeder only had 8 reviews when I ordered it which is way low for my usual trust with a new brand. however, MY CATS LOVE THIS FEEDER. They weren’t intimidated by the size or layout. Very intuitive for my cats to use. Love that it’s also a plain clean look with the app (so far so good) and doesn’t have those tacky looking buttons on most automatic feeders. Extremely clean design which was a big factor in buying. The lid That seals is also nice. I picked up the feeder and turned it sideways just to see if it would spill, and it stayed secure with the latch they used.The installation was incredibly easy and straight forward. I expected it to be more intense. My cats use purina one kitten food mixed with purina one probiotic health adult food, and the dispenser has done very well with portion size mixed. Will update this if anything changes.The App really impressed me with how it logged my cats’ weights and age etc to help with portion control. I needed this bc I wasn’t sure how much to give my kitties after them being on an open bowl meal (but got too chunky hence the feeder & I am a student and not always home etc).Only Pros at this Point. I got the stainless steel option and highly recommend that bowl as opposed to the plastic. Your cat will appreciate it and it’s a lot easier to clean.The Green Color is exactly how the picture looks. Have already gotten compliments on it from my roommates. If I end up buying another automatic feeder (for both cats versus them just sharing this one), I will buy this brand and exact model again. Honestly one of my favorite Amazon purchases of all time.

I absolutely love this feeder. The setup isn't terribly complicated as it's all done through the app.The app is easy to use and intuitive, and it allows you to set a feeding schedule, which allows for consistent mealtimes. The smallest portion it serves is 1/10 cup, which is more than enough for one meal for my cat.Caveats:- It had trouble connecting to my wifi, and sometimes, it won't stay connected. It rarely happens during feeding times, and I got a wifi extender to put right near the feeder. That seemed to solve the problem for the most part.- It will say it's low on or out of food, even when the hopper is full. Not the biggest issue, aside from the alerts.Pros:- Easy to set up and manage feeding- Most, if not all, cat food is small enough to easily be dispensed- You can opt for a beep that sounds every time it feeds, which is great. The bowl it dispenses into is metal, so it's basically like you calling your cat(s) for a meal- It uses desiccant packs to keep the food dry, and you can get replacement ones on here for not a lot of money.Overall, I'd recommend this if you don't feel like getting one that costs more, because the bang for your buck is great.

Love this item. Great value, easy to clean compared to a cheaper model I'd purchased in the past. App is easy to use, love that there's the option for battery backup in case of power outage, especially if you're going on vacation. Upgraded to RFID feeders because one of my cats is stealing the others' food but if you don't have that issue, this is a WONDERFUL feeder.

After reading the reviews, I think I was prepared for some kind of nightmare with this, but so far I've been pleasantly suprised. I'll update if it stops working or something. The app isn't super sleek and displays my feeding history partially in Chinese, but it's not too confusing either, and the feeder quickly connected to my iPhone on a 2.4G network. Set up was really easy, 2-3 minutes, and mostly I just use the "extra feeding" button, although the recommended meal plan seemed appropriate if all my cat ate was dry food, and was easy to edit. I like the green color and the stainless steel bowl.I've only had it for a few weeks, with no problems. My cat is underweight, not food-motivated, usually eats raw or wet food, and was recently diagnosed with kidney issues and maybe isn't really supposed to be eating dry food anyway. However, he often refuses to eat his wet food, especially prescription food, before I leave for work. It's better for him to eat dry food than not eat at all, so I use this to send him small amounts food throughout the day and give me some peace of mind that if he wants to eat, he can (and that the food isn't super stale). I do wish the feeder could tell me if the cat has eaten any of the food in the bowl, and how much, instead of just logging how much has been dispensed. This way I could track his eating and avoid adding more food when he hasn't eaten... but maybe that's a lot to ask from a feeder? Anyway, having a remotely controlled feeder also means that if I find I'm not going to be home for scheduled feeding times, it's not such a big deal, which is good because I live in a city with unpredictable traffic. I'm pretty satisfied.Edit: I've had the feeder for a while now to feed two cats on a schedule. It does have some bugs. The main issue is that it will double-dispense food randomly, some 10-20% of the time. I always receive a notification that it's working normally and has released the scheduled amount of food, but if I am home, I can see/hear that it dispenses, and then after about 30 seconds dispenses the same amount again, this time without sending any notification. This isn't as bad as if it were not dispensing any food at all, but it's a pain because one of my cats will happily overeat and get sick if I'm not home to intervene. The only solution seems to be making meals even smaller so that when it double dispenses, it's not so much extra. I also somewhat frequently receive notifications that the feeder is jammed or low on food when it is not (maybe twice a month). The feeder has only actually jammed once. So pretty good, still looks great, but not 100% reliable.
