Reliable feeder for my cat
I love how easy it is to set up the feeding times, and the portion sizes work well for my cat. It’s quiet, so my cat isn't scared of any noises. The large food container is a big plus!

Good basic automatic feeder
This feeder does exactly what it promises. However, I wish it had a smartphone app for remote control. Still, it’s very reliable and keeps my dog fed on schedule.

Great for dry food but watch portion sizes
The feeder works well for dry kibble and keeps the food fresh. The portion sizes are a bit large for my small dog, but I managed to adjust them. Overall very satisfied.
