It is IMPOSSIBLE to get the backup batteries in this thing. The springs suck and the compartment is too small to wiggle the batteries in. Infuriating.

Its a great automatic pet feeder. Serving portion X2 with small round kibble is perfect for the chihuahuas. Its real hard to program though and I wish you did not have to have a voice recording for it to operate. The recording should definitely be an option not a requirement.

This product is great, but my clever cats figured out how to unlock the controls and get the granary to feed them manually and or mess with the clock settings. Makes us a little nervous for the times we are away for a few days. Might try putting tape or something over the lock button and see if that helps. Petlibro should have an app interface and no controls on the device itself. Still would recommend a its a quality feeder at a good price.

Its really pretty but I never used it because I cant figure it out. I had to buy a manual cat feeder. Waste of money but looks good

I love it. From the packaging to the interface and sleek design... its exactly what I wanted and more. I wish the audio was a bit more clear, but it gets my cats attention, so thats all that matters. The portion control setting with each of the six daily feedings is a nice bonus. I can monitor how much she eats and adjust accordingly. She seems to love it too, although I think she is starting to miss wailing at me for food. :)

As a person with chronic pain and multiple disabilities, this automatic feeder has been a game changer in building a better relationship with my cat. I’ve been with my kitty for about 6 years, but as a business owner I frequently find it hard to stick to a dedicated feeding schedule. We both love this feeder because it can be programmed to dispensed food at literally any time of day (I was delighted to set it to 4am, which is when my cat has munchies the most often), and it can also be frequently changed to alter the portion sizes to the appropriate portion for his present energy output and weight. I have a Maine Coon mix kitty and he tends towards lounging and lethargy from time to time, which means that his necessary meal size fluctuates as well. The vet recommends reducing his food schedule so we can reduce his weight, but his activity level and appetite changes from week to week. This automatic feeder makes it easy to dispense the proper portions to my cat throughout the day, without putting the pressure on me to remember everything. The feeder is easy to program if you have patience to learn to process. You do need to cycle through all options to get to the settings you want, but you can go “back” by pressing the minus button while in settings. 3 portions is exactly 1/4 a cup (I measured this out manually). When I program the device, my cat purrs with delight. He loves this automatic feeder, and so do I!

Ive had this for about a week now, and so far so good. I found it easy to program, though I did have to experiment a bit to find the right amount of portions for each feeding. My cats think it is a god, but sadly they still dont let me sleep in.

Easy to use, easy to set the feeding times and how many servings per feeding. It took about a week of making adjustments to the portions to get it right for my cat, and ever since it’s been smooth sailing. Wish we had gotten this sooner.

Once you get it programmed, you will love it! Don’t set it for too early as it’s a little loud when dispensing food. Our kitty doesn’t like an empty food bowl so this is perfect!! I bought the water fountain water dish too and it’s equally as great!!

I purchased in hopes that my cats would stop waking me in the night to be fed. They still do, but this feeder works as expected. I like that I can use the smallest portion distribution to give them just a little snack. I gave 4 stars instead of 5 because setting up the feed times isnt the easiest and Ill need the instructions every time I do it. Otherwise, its a good device.
