PETLIBRO Automatic Cat Feeder, 5G WiFi Automatic Dog Feeder with Freshness Preservation, 5L Timed Cat Feeder with Low Food Sensor, Up to 10 Meals Per Day, Granary Pet Feeder for Cats, Black

Me and My Cats Love It!The Petlibro auto feeder is well worth it. I bought this because I am lazy and I am very glad this feeder does everything for me!This product is of great quality and very easy to use. Plug and play. The app will do everything (but put the food in) for you once you set it up.Main features: Easy to use, easy to clean, and easy to setupEase of use: Setup was basically just plug n' play. Set up your cats schedule through the app along with how much to feed them and you don't need to do anything else, but fill the large container with food every now and then.✅ Pros:- App is easy to learn and configure based on your cats needs.- The food container is large and lasts my cats a month of feeding❌ Cons:- Every now and then some food will get stuck inside little crevices, but it has not jammed on me once.Final Thoughts & Recommendations:- I would buy this again if needed, or if I decided to get more cats

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.

I love this product!!! It has come in handy when needing to give my pup her snack and my pup loves it as well. I love the feature that you can record a message for your animal. It was super easy to step and the app is easy to use as well.

Pros:-Warns you when food is "low"-good app features-good design (aside from the motor and rotor)-easy to setupCons:-Doesn't actually warn you when it's low...it warns you when it's empty but calls that low..-Will claim it successfully fed your pet right before it hits low but this isn't true. If it was low around the time they were fed ,they may have been partially fed and although it says how much was dispensed when successful...it DOESN'T when it is partially dispensed.-the motor is very slow and loud and struggles with foods over 10mm, the rotor design is not very good and prone to skipping. There is only 1 brand out there that can dispense 10mm+ food effortlessly and quickly but they lack app features or a low indicator .-manually feeding doesn't obey the voice notification settings on other schedules and always does it twice. With no way of changing it-price is definitely up there even without a camera feature.

5L fits a 5lb bag of food perfectly. I use this product to feed my cat in the mornings. After you set the schedule, it is comforting knowing the app lets you know when food has been dispensed so you know your cat/dog/other is being fed! I double check every few days out of habit but have never had a problem. It also gives you accurate low food warnings. Once in a while it has network connection issues which tend to resolve itself fairly quickly. My cat has small kibble so I have never had issues with the food dispensing. I actually just took it apart to clean it today which was a breeze. One of my requirements for a feeder was that it could be cleaned everywhere the food touches, and this one can. Very easy to put back together. Just remember to test dispense a few times, as it may not dispense any kibble on the first go around after cleaning. You can also save a buck by buying off brand moisture absorbing packs made for food, although I buy the recommended ones to support the brand. This is an excellent, not complicated product that integrates technology just enough but not too much. Exactly what I needed.Edit: I traveled out of country for a couple weeks, and the feeder had network connection issues for a few hours. After I had touched ground at my destination, though, the feeder continued on as normal based on the time zone I had set it up in. I continued to receive the normal notifications that my cat was being fed and I confirmed it was at the correct time based on those who I had looking after my cat while I was gone.I will add that this brand is top notch when it comes to making sure their customer base is happy. They send email notifications when there is a wide spread network connection issues, etc.
