Battery drain frustration from buyers aligns with critics noting the device's slower lid operation, both pointing to power efficiency concerns.

In their words

“Bought 2 of these feeders last year, as my 2 kittens have different food needs, and to stop the older one eating the other's food. The feeders have been a wonderful solution. Excellent quality, easy to set up and use, and my big boy is finally losing the weight as he's not eating the other kitten's food. Highly recommended.”

Alfie+Storm · verified purchase · petbarn.com.au

“Needs four of the big 1.5 V LR14 batteries…. Used up within two weeks. $20-30 a pop. So I’m supposed to spend $500 a year and use up hundreds of batteries to power this thing? Needs a rechargeable / electric option because the amount of batteries getting wasted by people using these must be utterly obscene and very bad for the planet and ongoing costs to own them. Not happy.”
