We bought this to feed our cat on a scheduled basis. It works well enough for this and the build quality seems reasonable for the price we paid. ($70) Initial setup was a pain though. The app (Petlibro) is simple enough to use, though it tries to upsell you on services which I found annoying. Also, there doesn't appear to be a way to schedule the feeder without using their app and their cloud service. Which means if this company goes under or decides to shut their servers down, the feeder might become a lump of plastic. Tips: - Be sure to download the correct app as there are two: Petlibro and Petlibro Lite. There's a QR code in your instructions which takes you to the correct app for your feeder. (I had to use the "Petlibro" app. Not the Lite one.) - Despite what the instructions say, the only way I could connect to the feeder was to set the app to AP Mode. - The Petlibro app isn't available for android tablets. At least, it doesn't appear in the Google Play store when I tried to download it using a Fire HD 10 (13th gen) and a Google Pixel Tablet. I sideloaded the app onto both tablets and it appears to work fine though the UI needs to be updated for tablets. - Smart features rely on cloud connectivity. (I wish there was a company that made a smart feeder that did not require the cloud to work.) Read more

I bought this automatic cat feeder because I was going out of town and needed a reliable way to feed my cat, Milo, while I was gone. I am absolutely in love with it! The setup was incredibly easy, and the app that controls the feeder is super user-friendly. You can program it to feed up to 10 meals a day, which gives me peace of mind knowing Milo is getting his meals even when I'm not home. I also love the freshness preservation feature, which ensures the food stays fresh for longer, and the low food sensor lets me know when it's time to refill. One of my favorite parts is being able to record a custom cat call for Milo! It’s such a sweet touch that makes me feel like I’m still there with him. The only downside is that you have to change out the filter every two weeks to keep the food fresh, but it’s a small maintenance task compared to all the convenience it provides. Overall, this feeder has been a total game-changer for me. Whether it's for a short trip or just for regular use, I highly recommend this for anyone who needs a reliable and convenient way to feed their pets! Read more

This pet feeder is really nice, I got it to help with my cat's diet. It connects with a free app so I can control it even when I'm away from home. There are a bunch of settings such as a meal call, meal sizes, etc. The meal sizes when dispensed are not entirely accurate so you may need to adjust accordingly. The food size is also limited so it may not be good for larger dry foods. Very easy to clean and top off. Read more

I have had this for 5 months now and it’s been great except it beeps and unlocks its buttons without anyone pressing it. It has had no wifi connectivity issues and is very easy to schedule and use the app! the beeping happens here and there and i’m not really sure why, other than that it has been great. *UPDATE* the beeping is getting progressively worse, right before feeding times it beeps non stop and unlocks the button without anything near it Read more

This was our second try at an automatic feeder for our dogs. We got 2, one for each dog. The previous brand we got started clogging in the first week so we were concerned. I read a lot of reviews on multiple platforms before deciding on this one. We have only had one of these clog once and I think that may have been my fault. We have 2 50+ lb dogs and we were able to put enough food in the large feeders to last 8 days while we were on a trip. It should have lasted 10 days as it is said to hold 20 cups and the dogs were each getting just under a cup of food twice a day but it ran out of food after 16 meals. We had changed to small dog kibble because the previous feeders couldn't handle the regular kibble we used which is not nearly as big as the max size claimed to be able to handle. We are in the process of switching back to the regular kibble now since these are working so well. We will see if that continues. We normally feed our dogs the Kirkland Signature Nature's Own Salmon and Sweet Potato which I think is 12mm sized but switched to the small dog chicken and rice. I love the fact that it tells me when the food backs up in the opening and when the grainary low on food. Those are really helpful notifications. It is annoying that the desiccant only lasts 14 days. Not sure why that is. Our previous one had a camera which it turned out wasn't as helpful as we thought since you can't see their food bowls to determine if they have eaten or not just the tops of their heads while they are eating. So we got a lightbulb camera and hung it above their crates. We can see when they are eating or not with it. Yes, our dogs are crated for meals. They are actually pretty funny as they won't go into their crates to eat if we are home until we go with them. So this hasn't eliminated the need to get up at 6am to feed the dogs. It just means it is faster to deal with and takes less early morning brain power. It has become my morning alarm as their bowls and crates are just in the next room from my bedroom and I can clearly hear them when the food drops into the bowls. We removed the metal bowls and just use the plastic bowl because the metal bowl was too noisy for one dog and too small for the other. One thing different about this feeder is it gives you the amount in parts of a cup instead of weight. It does let you feed all at once or you can break it up into multiple smaller amounts. So far this has been great. Once we get the food switched over to the regular kibble if we have any problems I will come back and report on it. Read more
