Great overall with the exception of the non existent volume of the recording you make. No matter how loudly and clearly you speak, the recording is too quiet and not clear.

I bought this for when my wife left me and I needed a way to fill in for feed time when I am at work... Sadly, using flat kibble that is exactly the size of what it represents on the unit, it appears to be too big for it. The unit will crush and break the food, and distribute a very uneven amount of food from what I have experienced. Instead of it filling up the bowl, it will get stuck crushing the food and only dispense a quarter of what I want it to, leaving me unsure if my dogs are getting fed or not. Also, not too handy if you have more then one dog... Unfortunately for my 3 dogs, I have one that will be a food hog and would eat the other dogs food if no ones there to help them

I like this. Its tiny and it fits for a small cat. However, my cat somehow learned how to press touch buttons and got herself buffets.

Instructions are not the easiest to follow

Way too much time to get the servings/timings configured.

Here are the main differences. The kibble chamber is cylindrical and doesn’t have a bottom. It slides over the base unit and encloses the bottom. Then you pour the kibble. It makes it easier to clean but you cannot separate the chamber from the unit unless it’s empty or the kibble will fall out. There’s a clear window on the chamber that lets you see the amount of kibble you have remaining. The top opening is silicone lined to form an airtight seal between the chamber and lid. However the bottom isn’t sealed and slides around the base. There are no physical buttons. The base acts as a touch screen. There’s a LED lit digital screen that shows the time and program. It’s USB-C and you can use your own usb cable and charger. The silica pack is similar to a pack you find in foods. Portions are much larger on the 005. The same amount dispensed in 2 servers in the 005 is dispensed in 4 on the 001. So it’s dispenses roughly twice the amount as the 001.

We bought two feeders for our cats while we were out of town for 10 days. You can set the portions for each feedings. We fed them 4 portions 3 times daily (1/4 cup = 4 portions) and 2 portions at midnight. This is the best product I have bought that actually did what it said it would do. It is worth every penny. I would highly recommend this product.

This feeder is awesome! Very easy to use. Just set the time(s) you want feedings and how many portions per feeding. Battery or plug in. The first portion it dispenses is less than it should be so I added an extra portion to each feeding. There is also a voice recording option which is cute but not the best clarity. Highly recommend!

This is my 2nd Petlibro food dispenser. The first one was purchased in June of 2021 and worked fairly well, although the process to program it was a bit awkward. The controller on the old one started acting up and kept changing the time making food dispensing unreliable, so I had to buy a new one. I bought this one to replace it, and was less than impressed. The touch panel sensors arent aligned properly with the icons, and even though its supposed to stay unlocked for a minute after unlocking the panel, it kept locking on me while in the middle of programming. Not at all convenient! This model also doesnt have an on/off switch to turn off the dispenser on those days when kitty isnt feeling good and isnt eating, which was a big plus on the other unit. Just like the other unit, programming this one was still a bit awkward. As an example, if I want to adjust the 4th feeding of the day, I still have to press through the time setup as well as the 1st three feedings.

Khyentse the cat weighs over 18 pounds and needs to lose weight, but he needs to eat all the time or his stomach gets upset. (Triaditis) This lets me spread 1/2 cup of food across 6 feedings, so he can eat every 4 hours. It lets me feed him at 4am so he doesnt wake me up! Its easy to set up. If you can program an old school digital alarm clock you can do it. And once its set up its all effortless. When its time to eat, the kibble dispenses and sounds like the jackpot on a slot machine. You dont need the voice recorder feature (which apparently isnt very good from what Ive read). It took him a day to get used to me not feeding him. Hed still bug me when he was hungry. I went over, scooped some food out of the bowl, poured it back in like I was feeding him, and he would eat it. After a day or two he got used to just feeding himself without me. I could customize the schedule, but I just have it set up for every four hours. Its great.
