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!

If I could go back in time, I would not buy any products from this company. This feeder is overcomplicated, requiring an app to properly function, and if connection to the app gets messed up, it will stop dispensing food. I had to do a hard reset in the first month just to get it working again. Otherwise, this has functioned relatively as expected, but because of these bugs at such a high price tag, I would recommend a smaller brand at half the price that doesn't require an app to work. I keep it plugged in so battery life it not a concern. It holds a decent amount of food and my cat doesn't have trouble eating from this, but just having the issue where it stopped dispensing food is a major safety concern and drops this from a mild inconvenience "3-star" product to a 1 star avoid.

Love this product. Feeds the cats for me. Reliable, durable, doesn’t get knocked over by cats sitting on top and jumping off. My two issues: when it says the food levels are low, that actually means it’s already empty. The food also doesn’t dispense to the far end of the bowl and kibble can back up into the dispensing door, giving me the alert that there is a blockage in the food outlet. Both issues easily adjusted to, just annoying to deal with intermediately.

It generally woks OK but loses network connection frequently and then requires a bunch of steps to reconnect. The network is solid. I just cannot count on it.

Bought this product to help with scheduled times and consistent feeding for my 12 year old cat. She started to over eat when her food was left for her to free feed. The automatic feeder is pretty easy to set up and is nice to have an app to quickly changes things or check to ensure your pet is fed. The major con I have with this product is the portions sizes are incorrect and often puts out way more than it’s supposed to. I had to do some trial and error after realizing the portions were incorrect on all measurements. Before purchasing this product I had read Amazon reviews and didn’t see any about the portions being incorrect. After researching on other platforms I found this was a known issue. Overall, product works well for ease of scheduling and set up but does take some time to ensure you are feeding your pet proper portion sizes.

DO NOT buy this product. In all, it worked great initially, but recently the app has been updated and has become completely non-functional. Every time any edits are attempted (scheduling, etc.) - a pop-up screen that YOU CANNOT BACK OUT OF comes up and prevents further use of the app. You can completely close it, but then you start all over and the pop-up just happens at some random point during your attempt to use the app. This happened on my husband's and my attempt to use the app. This company is not trustworthy or worth your money.

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!
