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

This has saved my sanity. I recently added a 7 yr old cat to our household. He was free fed and 5 lbs overweight by his previous owner. Trying to cut down his amount of food and listening to him meow for an hour before feeding time was making both of us crabby and nuts. I got this and after finally converting the amount of food the vet said to feed him into 1/12th cups, I set up a feeding schedule for the cat to get a small amount of food 5 times a day in addition to his 3x's a day wet food. The cat is happy because he gets to eat throughout the day without over eating. He has even settled down enough to not feel like he has to eat it all immediately and is leaving a little in the bowl. I'm thrilled because I don't have to feed him 8 times a day and he isn't meowing constantly. The set up was fairly easy - once you figure out how to get past the "care app offer". It's easy to adjust the time and amount the feeder dispenses as the cat settles in. The instructions say for best results to be within 20 feet of wifi without walls in the path. I have two machines (the cats don't share well) and one is on the second floor. It set up and works perfectly fine despite being much farther away from the wifi. These are perfect for cats who are very food related and eat everything as soon as you serve it. I am slowly getting my timid kitty used to the machine. For him, I let the machine sit a foot away from his bowl, not set up, for a few days. Then, I set it up to dispense food when he was near but not too close so hecouldcheck it out. The 3rd step was to move his bowl next to the feeder but let him eat out of his original bowl. 4th step was to let him see me take food from the dispenser bowl to his normal bowl leaving some dry in the feeder bowl. After a few days, he started eating out of the feeder bowl and is no longer afraid of it.

Best dry food dispenser ever!!! Even works amazing for M&M minis and NERDS. PROS: Bluetooth and wifi capable. Easy to clean since its compartmentalized well. CONS: You need to download an app in order to get the product registered and working. If there is a power outage, theres no backup for battery.

Works as designed & gives us piece of mind that our fur babies get their food when needed. The voice recorder to signal chow time is great & you've never seen cats move so fast to the bowl! They've been trying to break into it without luck. Holds a good amount of food & the color blends with the room. We've nicknamed it Hal.

Bought used - pretty good. (not brand new) It works pretty well, pairing to wifi was the hard part, per the app instructions it states to keep it within 20 inches from phone, router, and feeder. i had all of them pretty much touching so it would pair easily and could not get it to pair/would pair and fall out after 2 minutes. kept failing, so after days of trying to pair, i plugged it up across the house and it paired instantly. so not sure the issue there. but it works great. inside was absolutely disgusting, maybe i didn’t read where buying used doesn’t get cleaned but there was hair, dried food, and some kind of film all over the feeder. It’s a good size and is not too loud at all, once paired it stays paired and the app functions work great.

We bought this to handle scheduled feedings and it’s been solid so far. Setup was straightforward, the app connected without much trouble, and the programming is simple. It dispenses on time and the portion control has been consistent. The unit feels well built and the 5L capacity is plenty for our needs. The low-food alert is a nice touch too. They do try to nudge you toward a subscription to unlock certain features, but if all you need is reliable scheduled feeding, that works just fine without paying extra. We only needed it to dispense food on a schedule and it does that perfectly. Overall, it does what it says it will do. Happy with it.

Incoming lengthy review so here's the TLDR/most important stuff to note: - Easy machine set up - 2.5 & 5G with great wifi reach for app access - Dual power source with a lengthy adapter and option for 2 or 3 D batteries (batteries are not included, but not both at the same time are required) - Large food tank that dispenses 2-15mm sized kibble, and a window screen to see how full the tank is - Portions are super accurate (try manually dispensing a few times to make sure your machine is the same) - Desiccant bag for freshness (Slight con: these have to be replaced & bought separately every 2 weeks so it can add up. 1 is included in your order.) - EASY app interface, with easy set up - Scheduled feedings, with customization for a certain time and portion per scheduled feeding - 1/12 fraction system, but easy to convert online if you Google it (i.e. 1/4 cup = 3/12 cup) - Alerts for when desiccant bag needs changing and when there's a blockage - Manual feeding option with choice of portion size at the touch of a button - Meal call set up so you can call to your pet with either their standard voice set up OR you can record a voice recording so they hear your voice! So I finally decided to pull the trigger on getting an automatic dry food feeder to better suit my schedule. And I gotta say, if you're looking for one... this is it! Setting up the machine is simple, and the cord for plug in power is a decent length -- and YES, it's also battery operated! (2 or 3 D batteries) It's always nice to have a fail safe, so you can use one or the other based on your preference. The inner mechanism for dispensing the food has not clogged at all for me, and I was feeding my stinky with Instincts Raw which includes slightly larger pieces of Rabbit hide. I was worried it wouldn't dispense, but nope! Everything runs smoothly. (Which is good because those are her favorite pieces) I also tested the portions with the Manual feeding option just to make sure the fractioned portions I wanted were correct, and those were on point as well. The app has to be the real selling point for me here. It's so simple to set up -- no crazy mumbo jumbo to go through just to get a schedule set. If you look at my screenshots, you'll see how clean the interface is. I was able to set up the exact time I wanted a feeding, and you can schedule multiple feedings a day. With those scheduled feedings, they go by a 12th fraction system. That can be a little confusing at first if you're not familiar with fraction conversions, and you're trying to be precise with your little one's calorie intake, which is what I'm doing. But a simple google search of "1/4 cup to 1/12 fraction" will pull up a handy calculator so you can get the right portions! You can also set different portions for the different scheduled times as well. You can get super personal with it -- INCLUDING adding meal time calls. I added a voice recording calling her name since she's so used to a human getting her attention by pouring her food. Even with me sitting next to her, her ears perk up and she RUNS if she hears the machine calling her name lol... I absolutely love the alerts this app sends to your phone as well. It notifies you if the food bowl happens to be too full to fully dispense the portion listed for the schedule. Once it's cleared (by a human, or your creature happens to start scarfing it down) it'll also notify you of that! Also, there's alerts for the desiccant bags when they need changing after 2 weeks. These keep the food fresh inside the tanks and helps control moisture, so it's necessary. I'd have to say that's my ONLY con. $15.99 for a 4 pack, and I don't believe there's an option for a larger pack, so really you'd be buying these every 2 months -- which, to some, is not even that bad. But I'm horrible with remembering stuff, so I'd say just subscribe to get them shipped to you automatically. SO in conclusion -- yeah. This was the best purchase I've made so far this year on Amazon. I have nothing but great things to say about this product, and I really hope you pull the trigger on it, too!

Edit: Increase rating base on Petlibro wonderful consumer service. Brought up the issue to the original company and after reviewing the video to prove it was the base that was the issue, Petlibro sent me a replacement base. I just got it and it is working so far. Crossing fingers it last more than 2 years. Original: After 6 month of use (and it wasn’t set to go off everyday either), the motor is dead. I keep getting an error message on the app saying the motor is stuck and to clean out the feeder but that’s not the issue. I’ve tried cleaning the machine out and it’s not a food blockage. The motor just won’t turn anymore. I've tried gently turning the motor manually and it won’t budge. There’s no way to open the machine to look under the motor to see if there’s an issue too. Very disappointing. The feeder isn’t cheap either

I had initially thought that this was 6 packs of 4 each. But it's just 6 items in the pack for almost £20. I doubt that this costs more than 20p to manufacture. And they want you to replace them every 2 weeks!

Good feeder for our 2 cats. Nice outlook and is easy to use. Spent a few minutes doing the settings and connecting the network via the App. Everything is under my control, able to feed my cats by schedule or manually. when I was on holiday or working, I can check the bowl of the feeder all the time through my home camera so that I can amend the quantity of food for my cats instantly if in case. I'm not worried about being out of food. Peace of mind.

I have been using this feeder for over a year without any issue. It is reliable and makes life easier when I have to go out. It it is easy to setup, compliant with 5 ghz wifi. I wish it would notify me when food is low (notifies only when running out of food), but other than that, I am definitely happy with my purchase!
