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

4.0/5
mixed
Reviewers praise
  • Microchip recognition prevents pets from stealing each other's food reliably
  • Sealed lid keeps wet and dry food fresh longer between meals
  • Built-in scale and LED portion guidance help manage diets and medical prescriptions accurately
Reviewers push back
  • Hub sold separately but required for app tracking and portion monitoring features
  • Total system cost adds up quickly when buying feeder, hub, and RFID tags
  • Mechanical lid opening may startle nervous pets during initial introduction
Reviewers agree the feeder solves food theft and keeps meals fresh, but the hub requirement and total cost draw consistent criticism.
— best for: Multi-pet households managing special diets, prescription food, overweight cats, or food aggression between animals.

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!

Once upon a time, there was a tiny skinny old lady cat, who needed to eat 100x a day and have expensive vet food. But along came her big ‘ol chonky brother everytime she tried to eat to stick his fat head in her food instead. So one day, a magical steed from the land of Chewy delivered a new food dish full of magic and sorcery, which read the chip in the old lady cat perfectly, allowing her to cho Christine · chewy.com
