What reviewers say

Distilled from the video reviewers — the score, what they praise, where they push back.?

A36 Automatic Pet Feeder
across 4 reviews
3.5/5
mixed
Reviewers praise
  • Dual power mode switches automatically to battery during outages so feeding schedules continue uninterrupted
  • Transparent food reservoir shows fill level and flashes blue when low
  • Stainless steel bowl removes easily for cleaning
Reviewers push back
  • Setup interface locks after three seconds of inactivity, forcing users to restart the entire programming sequence
  • Button logic is confusing—unlocking, setting meals, and adjusting portions require memorizing different long-press and short-press combinations
  • Portion adjustment cycles through all 39 settings with no shortcut, so accidentally overshooting means cycling through again
Reviewers agree the A36 works reliably for scheduled feeding once you master the unintuitive setup interface, though the learning curve frustrates many first-time users.
— best for: Pet owners willing to invest time learning the setup interface who need reliable scheduled feeding during work hours or travel.
Automatic Pet Feeder
across 5 reviews
3.5/5
mixed
Reviewers praise
  • Easy to program with clear LED screen and military-time interface
  • Removable parts disassemble fully for cleaning, including access to internal dispensing mechanism
  • Holds substantial dry food capacity—reviewers mention twelve to eighteen cups depending on model
Reviewers push back
  • Voice recording quality is soft and static-heavy, often barely audible
  • Plastic bowl instead of stainless steel raises hygiene concerns, especially for chin acne in cats
  • Top-heavy design tips easily when food level is high, particularly with larger or determined dogs
Reviewers agree this feeder works reliably and is easy to program, though the plastic bowl, voice recording quality, and tip-over risk for larger dogs are consistent drawbacks.
— best for: Cat owners or small-dog owners who need scheduled feeding over a weekend or who want portion control without Wi-Fi features.

Where reviewers split on A36 Automatic Pet Feeder: One reviewer emphasizes the generous 3.8-liter capacity as a major advantage, while others treat it as standard and focus on usability complaints On Automatic Pet Feeder: One reviewer experienced immediate destruction by a large dog that broke in and overate; others had no security issues

I compared auto feeders for weeks before selecting this one and I am extremely happy with it. Thanks to everyone who reviews their purchases - it really helped me narrow my choice down. I've had this since April and use it twice daily. I have no issues with it being unsteady and so far the lid is just fine - two complaints I've seen repeated in some reviews.
