Customers say
Customers find the pet feeder easy to set up and consider it good value for money. However, the functionality and timer accuracy receive mixed feedback – while some say it works well, others report it doesn’t work on a timer. Moreover, durability and rotation rate are concerns, with customers noting the top breaks quickly and the rotating mechanism doesn’t work properly. Additionally, battery life is problematic as the device loses 3 minutes every 12 hours, and pet health results are mixed, with some finding it good for cats while others report their pets going hungry.

Keeps on going
Another review had complaints about the battery life, but I think it’s just a weird battery meter on the feeder… I put partially used batteries in the feeder nearly 3 months ago. The first day or two showed only one bar of battery life, and it’s been showing that the batteries are dead since then. It’s still running just fine after that, but I do try to check it a couple of times a day to make sure it’s still working. It’s so quiet that you won’t hear it turning, but the compartments are all numbered, so you can tell which one it’s on.This works great for my little dog that shouldn’t eat more than a little at a time. We divide the total food for the day into sixths, and then divide the time until the last desired feeding into fifths. We try to remember to turn it off after that.The size is great for traveling (nearly the same as our big dog’s dish).It comes apart easily for cleaning (kibble dust can get everywhere inside, including in the gears).

A decent automatic feeder
I bought this for feeding canned food to my cat so that I would be “taken out of the equation” in terms of feeding (ie every time I go into the kitchen he accosts me for food). First, this Amazon feeder was easy to program – basically you are simply choosing the number of minutes between feedings – there are no other things to set. Second, it is easy enough to get the lid off for cleaning or to refill the food compartments – I don’t think that my cat would have figured out how to open it but some very food motivated pets might be able to swing it. I think this would just be trial and error for your individual pet. My biggest beef with the feeder (and this would likely be a plus for some people) was that it was TOO quiet. I was sitting 10′ away from it the first time we used it and I couldn’t even hear it rotate/open. This means that my cat wouldn’t have been able to hear it either and I need him to get to the food before my dog does. The Qpets automated feeder has a feature where you can record your voice or another sound to play whenever a new compartment opens up and I wished that the Amazon feeder had this. My cat also had a difficult time getting the food (canned or dry) out of the deep wells. I think I could have lived with this and he would likely have figured out how to more efficiently get the food out if not for the other issue I had with it. Overall though, I think that this is a good feeder for the money and depending on your household it may work just fine for you. Just wasn’t right for us.

Works really well, cat has not broken it
I use this to help my cat take her meds twice a day and it has been really great. She needs a medication every 12 hours, and sometimes I need to leave early or stay late at work, or be gone 1 or 2 nights. I was looking at a LOT of pet sitting costs. Instead, I set this for every 12 hours, put the meds in a pill pockets, put the pill/pocket in each compartment, and now my cat is trained to get a “treat” ever 12 hours whether I am home or not. The timer has worked consistly and I am very happy with battery life. My online issue is that the timer is a countdown for a certain number of hours or minutes (so 12 hours, for 24 you need to set 23.59), not a time on a clock, so you have to START the timer at the right time. Not a big deal, but I did accidentally hit a reset when refilling one time and had to wait several hours to go restart the countdown.It actually works well enough that I bought a second when I had a trip I was worried about travel delays for, and in case I did not get back in time it set my cat for 5 days – one in AM, one in PM. More than 3 or 4 is pushing it, but this was a family emergency and it was nice to know I had the option.Just keep in mind that the 6 compartments have 1 open compartment at all times, so you only have 5 timed releases and the first one is accessible.

Not good for cats
I saw that others had said this won’t work for cats, and yet I was desperate and I only wanted to use it for my cat’s vitamins, which he considers treats. I thought that he would think of it like a puzzle to get the “treat” out. Not so! It definitely didn’t work for my cat.The dishes are too deep and too narrow. Cats want wide dishes so their whiskers don’t hit. With the depth, my cat wouldn’t even try to dig the treat out. I can see it working for a smaller dog, but it’s not for cats.I did find it easy to put together, just not at all useful. Lol!

Great little feeder
My dog get sick when her stomach gets to empty and we struggled to figure out what to do when we were at work. I looked at many feeders and read lots of reviews and settled on this one. Glad I did bc you can not beat the function for the price. Its super easy to use and set for when to open. She is a medium size dog and has no issues eating her food from the bowl opening. Its also very quiet. We were worried about the sound of it rotating bc shes scared of noises. Its super quiet but makes just enough noise that she can hear it when it opens.

This unit is a very well made, solid unit, made from very good materials and sturdy. It works exactly as described, however if your pet is very fastidious about eating times, this is not for you. The problem lies with timer. It should actually have a clock so that you can set it at specific times and not timer gaps. Also, it should be redesigned to have the bowl move inside and the gap stays in one position rather than having the cover move, as presently you have to place it in a position available to be approached from all sides which is rather inconvenient. For allrounder dry food supply it works ok, but I have mixed foods and I could just not get a syncing routine. A pity as it is really well made. It just needs a redesign.

Super objet je m’en sers quand je pars en vacances pour mes lapins béliers. Le distributeur peut délivrer des croquettes dans un compartiment toutes les 12 heures ou 24 heures.

The Automatic Feeder – proved to be a true lifesaver during our recent trip. With a cat minder visiting daily, this feeder provided our cat with small, timed portions of wet food every four hours.This feeder is incredibly convenient. It’s easy to program, with six compartments for pre-portioned meals. Our cat minder had no trouble using it, and the sealed compartments kept the food fresh.Reliability is a strong suit of this feeder. It consistently dispensed food at the designated times, giving us peace of mind during our absence. The sturdy design also prevented our cat from tampering with it.Overall, the Automatic Dog Cat Feeder – surpassed our expectations. Its user-friendly interface, reliable performance, and durable construction make it a fantastic choice for pet owners needing an automated feeding solution. We highly recommend it for ensuring your pet’s well-being, even when you can’t be there.
