I gave up free-feeding years ago because my eldest senior cat has problems with scarfing his food and vomiting (sometimes straight into the bowl, yuck.) I have even tried various manual feeders, like a UFO shaped one with multiple holes that made him "work" for his food as well as the one with the tubes, but a) those still gave him 24/7 access to food even if it slowed him down a little and b) it didn't really slow him down enough to prevent the vomiting! Also, while my younger playful one liked the "challenge" feeders and would use them anytime, if humans were present, my older lazier cat would cry and act like we were starving him even though the full feeder was right there. Nuts, right?! So, for a while I lived with family and we coped with this issue by all of us doling out small amounts of food to them only when they were hungry. There was almost always someone home so this was easy to deal with. However, I recently moved back out on my own and I decided that couldn't leave them entirely without food while I work my 8 hour shift. It just seemed like it made them crazy and more food-driven when I was home. Enter this feeder. While I was leery of spending this kind of money on a cat feeder, I was inspired by Lynn's review that said it made her cat less anxious. I ADORE my precious sweet cats but their starvation anxiety was driving me bonkers (and making MY anxiety go through the roof). Also, the review by Karen that mentioned using a tray vs. the bowl seemed genius because I knew there was no way my pushy eldest was going to let the other one share a bowl with him, no matter how big. Also my youngest hates deep bowls because he's a bit prissy about his giant whiskers getting stressed. So, I ordered this machine, bought my D batteries and a nice roomy cookie sheet from the store, and hoped it was worth it. Well, after a few days of ownership, the feeder is successfully dosing out 1/8 cup of kibble every few hours, and I'm already noticing some amazing things: my cats DO seem less anxious. My eldest one is even leaving part of the serving of food behind for the younger one to eat or for him to snack on later. He hasn't vomited once since I set it up, either. Knock on wood. It's also eliminated the need for me to stumble out of bed at 5am to dole out a snack for them, which is utterly priceless. I just set one of the timers for 5am! Also, the cookie sheet is working great. When the food falls on the metal it makes a nice clatter and the cats come running. It's enough room for both of them to eat at the same time. It's also wide enough that my little guy can still scoop up his food and it doesn't stress his whiskers. Oh, and since the cookie sheet is metal I can clean it easily to avoid cat acne. Highly recommend. I have to say, it took me a few minutes to program, and I've still been tweaking the timing as we use it, but so far I'm really impressed and excited by this little machine. I think it will make cat ownership even more enjoyable for me, and hopefully make my cats healthier (emotionally and physically.) I will update with any additional comments after owning it a bit longer!

I am amazed at how durable and well made this feeder is. It survived a group of raccoons dragging it across my yard to a shed and under a worktable. They could not open it. The feeder is scratched and still working and they got ZERO food. The journey took the feeder over a concrete patio, through a rock covered path, over heavy stepping stones onto a work area and rested under a work table on a pile of leaves and yet it still works. The lid is on tight!. I have now placed it in a deck box with a hole cut out for the metal bowl! Good job petsafe.

it definitely dispenses food at custom intervals, with up to twelve meals per day at custom sizes, but the setup is an unintuitive nightmare. expect to spend 30+ minutes reading the manual and following poorly written instructions to get this thing to function as intended and repeating that for every power outage, every time you want to move it, every time the plug gets jostled (if you're using the power supply in lieu of batteries). as a side note, the internal clock tends to drift as well. not terribly, but in the year and a half between when i bought it and when i had to change the batteries (this DOES NOT come with a power supply OR batteries!), it drifted about 15 minutes. also, the little ring that holds the bowl in is kind of flimsy and broke about a year after me owning it. otherwise, i love this thing. it feeds my cat 3 times a day, 1/8th a cup per meal (with wet food in the evenings dispensed by moi), and it saved our relationship (he's incredibly food motivated to the point of being incredibly annoying when he associates me with his regular meals). it holds about a month of food and keeps it nice and fresh with the tight sealing lid, and he hasn't been able to figure out how to get it to dispense extras, no matter how hard he tries (though it does dispense a little with a swift kick to the side). for the price, it's hard to beat. i'll be using it 'till the day it dies or 'till the day i no longer have a pet to feed with it.

Acheté pour les vacances, le distributeur a parfaitement rempli sa mission. Même si je ne regrette pas mon achat, il y a tout de m^me deux points perfectibles à mon goût : - la gestion des doses ( programmation en ml et non en gramme - norme US ? - bref pas pratique...) j'ai du faire quelques petits essais avant de trouver le bon dosage.. - Le bruit lorsque la machine distribue les croquettes... la hauteur entre le distributeur et la gamelle fournie en inox est non négligeable; j'ai opté pour une gamelle en plastique Sinon l'appareil est top, facile à charger, le réservoir de croquette est grand. Facile à démonter pour le nettoyage occasionnel.

Es muy práctico y de buena calidad, sólo me costó trabajo identificar el paso en donde se pone en línea el alimentador que fue muy sencillo solo apretando el botón del centro y el de la derecha al mismo tiempo pero en los vídeos que busqué no explican ese punto, y sin ese no entregaba la comida. Salvo ese detalle todo está excelente

+ einwandfreie und zuverlässige Funktion + Netz oder Batteriebetrieb möglich + großes Fassungsvermögen (1 Katze 2-4 Wochen) - kein Netzadapter im Lieferumfang Es gibt tatsächlilch keine vergleichbare Maschine die sowohl das Futter so sicher aufbewahrt und (vor allem) ausgibt und dann auch noch wahlweise mit Netzstecker betrieben werden kann. Leider ist der Adapter trotz des hohen Preises nicht dabei. Ich habe dafür einen 9V (statt 10V) Universal-Adapter genommen und das klappt prima. Passen tut auch der: https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B0083PAXC4/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_23?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A10M4JKGH5TIAB Nicht von dem in einer anderen Rezension hier geposteten Video erschrecken lassen: Der Kater kommt lediglich an ein paar Stücke die noch nicht runtergefallen sind und keinesfalls an den Vorrat der bei dieser Maschine wirklich gut gesichert ist. Die Menge die er mit der Pfote evtl. erwischt ist sehr begrenzt und kommt bei der nächsten Mahlzeit dafür weniger raus. :-) Es wird ein Gummi-Förderbad verwendet wobei eine Mulde des Förderbandes einer Portion entspricht. Natürlich kann die Portionsanzahl eingestellt werden. (Stufung der Menge daher etwas grob aber i.O.) Dieses Förderband macht ein Erreichen des Vorrates mit der Pfote wirklich unmöglich. Die vier megafetten D-Batterien (bei den meisten Geräten müssen solche verwendet werden) habe ich mir zur Sicherheit auch geleistet denn wenn der Netzstecker abgezogen wird geht die Maschine sofort in den Batteriebetrieb (und umgekehrt). Super bei Stromausfall. Auch eine Funktion die man ansonsten vergeblich sucht. Das Geräusch beim Runterfallen des Futters, das hier schon bemängelt worden ist, ist doch echt sowas von egal - da hört die Katze wenigstens von weitem wann es Mampfe gibt. (bei uns von Vorteil da das Gerät im Carport steht) Ich kann es wirklich voll empfehlen und hätte schweren Herzens einen Stern abziehen müssen weil das Ding so teuer ist - den Stern gibt es aber wieder drauf weil es echt das einzige Gerät ist, das es schafft so einwandfrei zu funktionieren und die Netzfunktion bietet. Denn ich hab keine Lust alle paar Wochen vier D-Batterien wegzuschmeißen und Neue zu kaufen. Der Preis ist wirklich enorm aber es gibt im Moment keine Alternative die diesem Gerät das Wasser reichen kann. Da bei mir der Ring für die Schale bei mir schon kapputt war, (gebrauchtes Gerät als neu verkauft - Wolffstore_GmbH - Teilbetrag erstattet) habe ich mir ein Brett mit Stoppern als Unterlage gemacht das die Schale am Gerät hält - das ging sehr einfach und ist bombensicher. Nach langer Suche habe ich dieses Gerät gekauft und bin sehr zufrieden damit. Ich habe mir viele Maschinen sehr genau angesehen. Alles andere was ich so gelesen habe scheint dagegen echter Schrott zu sein. Hierfür aber volle Empfehlung! Danke für's Lesen!

Macchina pratica e comoda e con il sistema a nastro trasportatore delle crocchette non si è mai bloccata. Piccolo appunto anche a me ogni mese il timer sballa di 1 minuto. Ed aggiungerei che se avessero messo compreso nel prezzo l'alimentatore sarebbe stato un bel gesto, comprarlo a parte originale è costoso per essere un banale trasformatore. Comunque ottimo prodotto che mi garantisce piena autonomia. Ottimo marchio di cui ho anche la gattaiola automatica.

I wanted a feeder that would dispense food more than 4 times a day . this will do 12. the reservoir for food is at least 8 lbs of food . it takes about 75 % of a 12 lb bag of food. The smallest portion is 1/8 of a cup. I measured the output when I got it over a 24 hour period. very close to what i set on the feeder. This is done via a conveyor belt. each section of the conveyor is 1/8 of a cup. so if you program for 1/2 a cup the conveyor advances 4 positions to dispense the amount. very accurate. has a slow feeder option which works great . if you set it on the hour it wil dispense the food on the hour , five , ten and 15 minute after the hour. this is great as my dog gulps his food down and is prone to bloat. I bought the plug in charger , complete waste of money . 4 D cell batteries are good for a year. it has a tiny electric motor to operate and it uses very little power. best of all you can put it any where you want and not have to worry about power cords My wife was skeptical and said I like gadget. I was too but so far it has exceeded all expectations . very happy. oh one person commented that not all the food would slide down the hopper . I have not experienced this.completely empties the hopper every time.
