Pitpet Smart Automatic Cat Feeders - 6L Reliable Automatic Cat Food Dispenser with LCD Screen, Portion Control, Voice Recorder

Works good so far.

I have used this for over a year now and this feeder is reliable and a great value. I use it for my cat and you can set many options such as how many times a day to dispense food and how much food to dispense. It plays a high pitched beep when it dispenses to let your pet know its meal time if they are somewhere else or sleeping. It comes with a dessicant packet that attaches to the lid to keep food fresh and sturdy velcro strap to prevent food motivated pets from knocking it over for a free meal.My cat LOVES his food and would do anything possible to break into it but he has not been able to so far even when away from home for longer periods of time, so rest easy if you have a little bandit.The setup and button navigation isn't very intuitive and takes some time to figure out how to set everything properly but once you've got it, its not something you need to continue to fuss over.One other thing I have noticed is that the first time the feeder goes off after refilling it up with more food from empty it may not dispense the full portion because of the way the paddles inside rotate. Keep an eye on that and make sure Fluffy doesnt get shorted. After the first time it will dispense normally.

Set feeder to drop 3 “servings” 6x a day. I check it about once a week to refill. I’ve been able to reduce mess and not stress about feeding my cats.

It’s been over 6 months since I purchased this and I love it! If I ever need another I will buy this again.I bought this to help my cat lose weight. She’s always been free fed and I needed something to help with portion control, but our work hours are hectic so feeding on a schedule is impossible, but her vet recommended we try an automatic feeder.I love that I can set several feedings if I want and make them as many or few portions as I want, and set each individual dispense at any time that I want. The first few weeks I had to adjust and readjust settings until I found what was just right for us - enough portions to feed kitty without her being hungry and having an empty bowl, but not enough that there was a ton of food leftover in her bowl every day.I live in an area that has had MANY storms since I purchased this and we usually lose power at least once or twice a month. The battery has always kicked in when outlet power was unavailable and we’ve never had any problems. That being said, if there’s a storm I still always monitor the feeder just in case the battery dies, and when we go out of town for a few days I still leave a separate regular food bowl out that doesn’t rely on electric power or battery, just in case!My cat especially looks forward to hearing the high pitched tone when the feeder dispenses!Between using this automatic feeder for portion control and incorporating more play time (exercise) in her daily routine, our cat’s vet is pleased with her weight loss!

Good product, easy to program ad I love that you don’t need an app.

I had this feeder assembled and programmed in 10 minutes out-of-the-box. It worked perfectly while we were on a week-long trip. Our neighbor stopped by daily to check on our cat and found her to be well fed and content.When we returned, I set the feeder for a 2am feeding which worked fine for a month or so and then suddenly stopped the 2am feeding. I contacted Customer Service and within a few hours Melissa responded with a few questions. She checked with her engineers and over the course of a couple days determined that the feeder was malfunctioning and sent me a replacement without requesting return of old one. THAT is Customer Service! This company stands behind their products and cares about their customers. A rare find these days. I highly recommend this Pitpet Feeder.
