PETKITAutomatic 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

We’ve had two of these feeders for a while now and they’ve seriously made life so much easier. Just like the litter box from the same brand, everything is controlled through the app, which is super convenient when you’ve got more than one pet. You can set schedules, portion sizes, and get alerts when the food’s running low—it’s all really simple to use.One feature I really love is the built-in calculator in the app. You can put in your cat’s breed and age, and it helps you figure out how much to feed them. It takes the guesswork out of portioning, which is super helpful.The feeder itself is super reliable. It always dispenses the right amount, and it’s easy to clean since there aren’t a bunch of complicated parts. The locking lid keeps our food-obsessed cat out, and we’ve never had issues with jamming or missed meals.It plugs into the wall (no battery worries!), and the braided cord is great for pets that like to chew on things.I also love that it syncs with the same app we use for our litter boxes, so we can control everything in one place. Honestly, we didn’t realize how much easier this would make our routine until we got it—now we wouldn’t go without it!

updates : Have been using the product and very satisfied with its operation. Worried it will miss feeds after initial encounter but I think it could have been due to me adjusting frequently the feed times based on feed amounts for my cat.initial:It is easy to setup and operate but it missed two feeds within first week of operation. I cannot have a missed feeds. Only issue reported against missed feeds in the app as not connected to network. that cannot be a valid reason for a preconfigured schedule to be missed due to network issue. Thinking of returning the item. will monitor for one more week and finalize.

Great product! So much easier to keep your cat fed.

Let me start by saying this is a great feeder! But it does leave some room for improvement!This feeder works extremely well, and will do so for most people, but there are a couple things I wish were a little easier or I had more options on.I love that you are able to set so many feeding times. I have an issue where my cat will throw up if he eats too much too quickly, and being able to do a bunch of smaller meals throughout the day helps ensure that he isn’t eating too much, too quick. However, I do wish that the max amount you were able to dispense was a little more than what is currently provided.The app is great, it allows you to set times for food, add your cat’s food nutrition, allows you to set their weight, and even gives you recommendations on how much they should be eating. However, getting the device to connect to the internet can be a pain. For some people it will not let them connect it to their network, and you must split your network between 2.4 ghz and 5 ghz, and it will ONLY connect to their network 2.4 ghz. I wish the wifi capabilities weren’t so finicky, but once connected, this device works great!

It worked fine for the first 6 months or so. There were no issues at first when I moved into a different home. But now it has stopped working, both via the app, and the manual feeding button on the side. According to the app, the WiFi signal is strong, but every time I try to give an extra feeding, it says the WiFi signal isn't connnected. I tried splitting my WiFi and connecting it to the 2.4GHZ network. That also didn't work. Automatic scheduled feedings also are not working.The only time it works is if I remove the food bin from the base unit and then reconnect it. Then it works for one feeding before it stops working again.I contacted their customer support and they gave me the above advice of splitting my WiFi. They also said my WiFi password can't be too long or complicated (it's not) and that I should try connecting to a hotspot to make sure the device can connect to WiFi. Again, under settings > WiFi Configuration, it consistently reports the WiFi signal is strong and binding has been successful. I've tried disconnecting and reconnecting multiple times.When I asked customer service for a replacement unit they asked for:a. The device's SN number and model nameb. Screenshots from the app or error screenshots from the device's LED when the issue occursc. A video of the related issue, noting the specific date and time of the recordingd. The order information for the device purchaseI'm a little annoyed I have to record a video to prove to them that it's not working, but that's my next step I guess.

The cats each get one and when the beep sounds they run straight to their dish. I always know they get their food at consistent times regardless of my schedule.

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.
