What reviewers say

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

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.
Feeder-Robot
across 5 reviews
4.0/5
mixed
Reviewers praise
  • Scheduling works reliably; meals dispense at exact programmed times without errors
  • Portion control is accurate, ranging from one-eighth cup to one cup in precise increments
  • App setup is straightforward and pairs quickly with Wi-Fi; notifications arrive promptly
Reviewers push back
  • Base model lacks battery backup; newer model exists with 24-hour backup but base unit requires constant power
  • Cleaning requires hand-washing multiple removable parts monthly; base cannot be submerged
  • Power port location on the bottom makes plugging in awkward after positioning the unit
I find it important that you buy smart home products that can function even if the company that made them closes

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.

This feeder-robot has outdone itself. Not only does it look sleek, it works without any flaws. The amount of dry food it can fit in its bin is perfect! The app usability is super easy and has just the right amount of settings to not worry about your cat being fed. I bought a 2nd one for my dog because of how perfect it is!
