   I bought this to plan ahead of a short weekend away from my doggo. We have a camera set up to make sure this feeder worked on time, every time, and it did. I love this product and would recommend it to any dog or cat owners! Holds about 16 cups.

   I was skeptical about getting this theater because I have other automatic theaters that have worked perfectly for 3 years. Those were discontinued and I decided after reading the reviews to try this. I am very happy with its performance and would not hesitate to buy it again.

   It was easy to set up and use. The bowl comes out so you can wash it. I will note it’s not a tight seal so bugs can get in but it does come apart to wash.

   Best feeder! Only bought a second bc the raccoons destroyed the 1st one. Made some housing to enclose the second one so we don’t have the same issue. Reliable and love the battery backup option! Easy to set up! You can also record a voice so you can call your kitty when it’s about to release food. Easy to change setting, timing and amount it distributes.

   I have purchased two of these feeders and have had zero issues. My smart home has reported power outages during the work day, but I know my cats are fed due to the backup batteries!

   Between my two roommates and me, it was difficult to coordinate feeding my cat. He is a bit overweight, and will pester us for food even after he's been fed. Now, it is easy to feed him consistently and he has lot some weight. Great product!

   As my cat has aged she eats a random times ( and not enough) so this has made her eat more consistently because she hears the food drop and it reminds her to eat. This dispenser allowed us to consistently have food in her bowl but not too much that the dog eats it. I can also dispense in the middle of the night when the cat decides she’s needs a midnight snack. Worked great when we were on vacation too.

   Took us awhile to program it but is working as it should. Our old one had a pause button on it which was good when we left for weekends. I think this one does but haven't had time to figure it out.

   This works well if you are looking for an automated feeder. I have two dogs and one of them has a tendency of throwing up if he's not fed exactly on time. Sometimes work and my commute make it hard to get home to feed them by the time he needs. This solved that. It was very hard to program th feeding schedule though. Also hard to figure out the amount to tell it to feed. I had to play around with it until I finally got it.

   We love this cat feeder!!! Say goodbye to the days of your cat waking you up in the early morning hours for breakfast. Very easy to set up your desired number of feeds and what time you want them to be dispensed. There is also a slow feeder option that dispenses the food over the course of a few minutes. This is perfect for our cat who tends to eat too fast and throws up. This feeder is also great if you’re going out of town for a day or two. You know your cats will be well fed while you’re away. I would definitely recommend this feeder.

   The bad:
   The metal bowl is sharp and wasn't sanded properly after manufacturing, so it contains tiny metal splinters that went into my fingers when i tried to set it up. Be careful!
   
   The whatever:
   The clock is not very accurate, over time, it loses a minute or two and so the feeds will be a few minutes late -- but it doesn't really matter whether the cat eats at 9am or 9:02am so whatever.
   
   The good:
   The feeds are accurate, I weighed them on my kitchen scale and it's always 10grams, so I know the cats are eating the amount I've set up for them. One of my cats is really neurotic about food and this feeder has really helped him in the month since we've had it, because he's come to trust that food time will be predictable and reliable. I have the slow feeding option enabled and he lets the others go first, knowing that he'll get his turn even if they eat the whole first dose. He's overweight, so I think this feeder will help to manage his weight. My other two cats are grazers and prefer to eat small amounts more frequently. Having six mealtimes means that they can eat as often as they want without lettting my neurotic orange son overeat. The cats are really happy with it, and I'm glad knowing they're okay when I'm gone all day at work.

   This works wonders when we are out of town. I don’t have to worry about my pet not eating while we are away. I love that it has the option to do 9 feeding sessions. You can choose the amount and the times. I also love that it’s easy to clean. Very easy to set up, not to loud and no leakage. I also like the idea that I don’t have to download another app on my phone.

   This has worked perfectly for scheduled feeds set up through the app (I didn’t use the screen on the unit, it doesn’t seem hard to figure out though). I also like that you can drop food whenever through the app for days my schedule gets away from me. The app also has a record so my partner and I don’t accidentally give kitty second dinner.

   Enjoyed this feeder as it worked flawlessly for 4 months. Particularly loved being able to see the confirmed feedings while we were away for a weekend. I was really disappointed when the Wi-Fi connectivity stopped working and the unit didn’t respond to the factory reset instructions.
   I used the support feature in the app, uploaded a short video showing the reset functionality was not responding, and they promptly sent me a replacement unit!
   I would definitely recommend the product to other pet owners.

   The set up wasn’t that hard but I almost wish there were different buttons to get each meal. You have to scroll through each meal if you want to add another one, then if you want to take it off you have to go back through. It’s really not a big deal. I love every thing else about this feeder. I love how it comes a part and is easy to wash. How the lid is secure and that you can lock the buttons.

   Our overweight cat Ted really needed to be kept on a feeding schedule to help him lose the weight. He use to beg and meow to us for food but now he relies on the feeder. We don’t have to worry about missing a meal When not home since the feeder is set to feed him every 4 hours six times a day and we can lessen the frequency to continue helping him lose weight. I highly recommend this product for cats that eat all the food in their bowl right away since it helps him portion their food, and eat slower. I also really like the voice recording setting, and how easy it is to clean.

   It has been working very well for a month. Good size for a small dog. Like that all the keys could be forbidden so that it won’t be accidentally turned on by my dog. You can track every meal on phone, so can easily find out if it’s empty. Also like the slow down feeding function, although I don’t need it right now for a puppy dog.

   The buttons are slightly annoying to use do to them failing to register that you’re fingers are there. It also resets to a random time if you unplug it without batteries. Overall, it dispenses the food without getting stuck and at the right time.

   We bought this for our cat so we could go on short vacations with ease. We love being able to control the feedings from our phone, and pick different portion sizes(our cat is either super lazy, or exceptionally rambunctious). The capacity is large enough we could go over 3 weeks without filling, and seals tight for freshness.
   The thing itself is silent, but the metal bowl results in tinkling when food is dispensed(making my cat take off running to her food at the sound).
   
   Would buy again, and recommend to my friends and family. Great value!

   I have 3 pets (cats), knowing that food will be available gives me peace of mind. For me, the directions on setting up the auto-feeder were not as clear as I would like. After a few tests, I was able to make the timer adjustments and amount needed for our application. Based on my need, the feeder lasts about a week and a half before refilling. Of course, that will vary based on user settings as you set the timer to feed multiple times a day or or just once. I also like that the bowl is made from metal and can be easily removed for cleaning. Also, the timer keeps it’s memory when you need to unplug or the power goes out.Very happy with this item and have had no issues since purchased.

   My cat lives for her next meal. My husband and I work long hours, so the cat gets 1/2 a can early in the morning for breakfast, kibbles for lunch, and a 1/2 can at night when we get home. This feeder is a cat saver. She swore she was going to starve until we found this miracle machine. Now every day at 2:30, her life has a purpose. It’s great quality and it looks really nice in the kitchen. It’s very aestheticly appealing. It’s super easy to figure out and you can take it with you if you go places. It also has a battery backup in case the power goes out, so your pet won’t go hungry.

   Bought the rechargeable kind so that I can move the feeder wherever I want. So far the battery hasn't died yet on the first charge (its been 4 days).
   
   Also my cat hasn't been able to stick her paw in and move the pieces to get additional food out like some other feeders.
   
   It takes a min to program (a little annoying not to have the app on the rechargeable one) but its been reliable so far. Portions are small (I like to feed multiples times a day but small portions). So far, I'd recommend!
