WOPET Automatic Cat Feeder with Camera,7L App Control Smart Feeder Cat Dog Food Dispenser,6-Meal Auto Pet Feeder with Timer Programmable,HD Camera for Voice and Video Recording

I purchased this smart feeder for my cat. It was straightforward to set up though you need to connect your phone to 2.4GHz wifi. I have the same SSID for 2.4GHz and 5.0GHz, which made the setup a bit complicated. As a workaround, I set up my guest network on 2.4GHz, after which the setup was a piece of cake. This feeder is well made, with many thoughts behind its design and operation. It came with two feeder sizes - one for large kibbles and the other for smaller ones. I used the smaller feeder for my cat. The small portion size allows you to control how much food you want to dispense. Features that I liked about this smart feeder are - - You can program this feeder to dispense up to six meals a day and manually dispense any portions at any time. - You can toggle OFF or ON any programmed feed. I use this feature when someone feeds my cat out of turn. - The HD camera is very clear. I use this when I am away and want to check if my cat is eating. - This feeder has an inbuilt microphone and speaker. You can hear the sound of food dispensing and cat eating. I can call my cat to the dispenser by talking to and then watching him via HD camera. - Whenever food is dispensed, I get a notification with the number of portions dispensed. The app also shows the history of portions dispensed either programmatically or manually. It helps me track how many portions have been dispensed each day. Recently my unit developed an issue, and I reached out to Wopet support. I explained the issue to them, and they kindly offered to send me a replacement. This feeder is an excellent product developed and supported by people who proudly stand behind their product. I am not aware of any better pet food dispenser with all these features, reliability, price, and excellent customer support. I will purchase it again if I need to.

I LOVE this feeder & recommend it for more reasons than I have time to write about!! I have 2 finicky felines & due to weight issues, I needed to change from a bowl of food 24/7 to scheduled feedings, but that can be difficult when you don’t have a regular schedule or may be gone for a day or 2. This feeder madd the change easier than I ever imagined!! I never worry about being home or going home to feed my kitties, and if - no! - when one gets hungry early, or late, I no longer have to get out of bed to feed. I just grab my phone, hit a few keys, and - ta-da! - my cats have food & I get sleep! The app works great and is easy to use. Setting up or changing the feeding schedule and/or the amount of food I feed is easy & takes only minutes. I can feed them from my bed, the beach, or automatically! When they hear the feeder, which is NOT a loud, obnoxious noise but more of a quick hum, my kitties jump up and run!! Like another person posted, it’s pretty funny how they go from snoring to flying out of bed in a split second! An added bonus is the camera which is so good that I can see all the way down the hall & into the other rooms!! I teasingly, but could also seriously, call it a built-in spy camera. You can take HD pictures or videos as well as listen to or talk to your pets. I can’t say enough good things about this feeder!!

At first I thought: App freezes every time you select ANYTHING. Cannot customize any of the settings let alone record or use camera. Bought two with high hopes. Will be returning. Edit: Initially I COULD connect the feeders to the app but it wouldn’t work when actually trying to use anything in the app. We have a dual-band Arris SURFboard Modem & Router. Found that my phone kept defaulting to 5ghz when using the app but the feeders will only connect to 2ghz (but for some reason I could still set up the app?). I had to get into the Arris settings, block my phone from the 5ghz port (found instructions online), then use the option for “manual set up” within the app for the feeders (couldn’t use the QR code). Once I finally got them to sync, I then unblocked my phone (iPhone 11 Max Pro) on the 5ghz connection and the phone still connected to the feeders. Thankfully. We then recently set up a mesh system. The app wouldn’t even set up this time and I had to delete all of the settings to start over. I redid the whole process again with modifications for the mesh (connecting the feeders to the modem/router by first blocking both my phone and mesh from grabbing the signal), then kept mesh blocked so they only connect to the modem but unblocked my phone. Took a little bit of trial and error because we don’t have our connections all labeled, but it only took about an hour to get it set up, including troubleshooting. Sometimes the feeders take a while to connect to the app when trying to feed manually, so I just have to wait until both are online or I can’t feed one right after the other. Overall, these feeders do work well and with hardly any learning curve for our cats (can’t say the same for me clearly, haha). They love it and I love not being woken up at 4:30am by hungry kitties. They eat their breakfast and go back to bed. Also, good piece of mind while out of town, or God forbid, incase of an emergency that prevented us from getting home for a period of time (closest family/friend is 3 hrs). They make me feel less anxious. The cats respond well to the microphone, so I can call them to the feeders to ensure one does not eat the food of the other when I’m not there to referee. The camera helps with this so. Although, I would suggest it would be better if the camera pointed down more so I can see the food in the dish to make sure one is eating all of their portion and it’s not getting gobbled up later by the other. I would recommend these feeders if you know how to work with your specific hardware. Hope this helps someone else.

I bought this because I have 3 cats and apparently I've been over feeding. Took my cats to the vet and they are over weight, so he asked me to measure and focus on portion control. I used to use one of the 1/2 gallon like jugs that just hang upside down, and my cats were eating all the time whenever they wanted. I'm gone a lot, vets not happy, and I want my cats to be healthy. So I started searching and doing my homework. This feeder is working great for me and my fur babies! It has many ways of controlling the portion. You can set the exact amount of grams to be fed, 6 times daily. So on the app you choose how much you want it to dispense, title of feeding (ex. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, snack), and you can add a pre-recorded personalized voice message to play when it dispenses their meals. You can choose different recordings for each individual feeding time, or use the same recording for all feedings. I'm only using the one recording I made (ex. Nola, Oreo, Casper, it's time to eat! HERE KITTY KITTY KITTY! It plays the recording 3 times in a row while dispensing the food. Which is nice because if they don't hear it the first time, they definitely do by the third making sure they don't miss a meal. Within the first few days they became trained to the feeder. They can be in REM sleep, hear the recording, then immediately jump up to run and eat! It's actually really funny! The app sends a notification to your phone for every feeding, which prompts me to go in app and check the camera, to make sure all 3 are getting to eat. I can also hear them to make sure they aren't growling at each other, which thank goodness they eat together fine. But if they didn't you can also talk to them in real time from the app. I really like how the app is set up so you can see the camera on the top half of the screen, and the bottom of half you can choose to take a photo, record, listen, or talk. Or you can click the full screen to enlarge the full picture. The only thing I really think could have used improvement is the camera angle seems a bit high, for when they have their heads up close and in the bowl. I can only see the top of their heads. However, I don't know though, because if it were lower it would be too close and if it were higher you wouldn't see them at all. Because when they aren't face down in the bowl I can see them just fine. As a matter of fact I think it has a wide lens because I can see my entire kitchen! Which is a pretty neat bonus feature. I have found the app to be very easy to understand, operate and navigate. It does freeze when in camera view sometimes when I forget to close out the app after using, and leave inactive for too long. But it's easy to close and re-open the app. Overall I have found this to not only meet the needs of fine tuned portion control, but also many other neat features that have made feeding my cats so convenient and most of all FUN! Not only am I feeding them more responsibly to prevent over feeding, but I'm actually enjoying being able to interact with them when I'm not home, checking to make sure they are okay. And it holds alot of food so it's never a chore to feed. I really like this and now that I'm utilizing all of these fun and needed features, I could never go back to my jug feeder. This records every feeding, time, amount fed in grams etc. and stores it in the app. Now I can take this to the vet in a few more weeks to make sure that everything is right for my cats diet, and then he can give me accurate feedback. I hope this helps those who are needing a solution like I did. This would also be great for anyone like me who isn't home a lot or maybe has an unexpected hospital stay, or even use if you have a vacation to go on. This is also nice for those times you can't find a pet sitter on short notice. You can feed, see, talk to, and interact with your fur baby. Holds a lot of food for days when you can't be home which can reduce anxiety in emergency situations. Make sure to place batteries in the compartment in case of power outage. Because if the power goes out while your gone, the feeder will still work as long as you've put the batteries in it. I personally feel this is a great addition to any home with pets for a variety of reasons and therefore would highly recommend!

This product couldn't have arrived at a better time! My wife and I stayed at my parents house the evening of the 4th of July. We usually would have had to leave an abundance of food to insure he had enough. It was nice to have a worry free evening about our cats food needs. Here is a brief overview... Set-Up: The set-up was easy and the directions were also easy to follow. FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS! We made the mistake of trying to set it up a distance away from our wifi router with no success. However, once I followed the directions we had no problem with the set-up. Camera: The quality of the camera is perfect for our needs, which is minimal. I accessed the camera from my phone (you need to download the app) while my cat was eating to get an idea of the quality and angles. I was not disappointed! At this time we don't have a need for the camera. Mostly due to the location of the feeder. We have other cameras through out the house for security and we use those to check in on our cat. Portion size: Our cat weighs 8 lbs and loves to eat. I currently have the the portion set at "3 portions". Basically I am using 3 portions as my cats 1 portion size. Make sure to test out the portion size and adjust to your pets needs. Highlights: I like that the lid for the container that holds the food is snug. I don't like the smell of dry pet food! I cannot smell a thing, which is a plus for me. I also like the feeding container in regards to its size. Its purrrfect for my cat (sorry, I had to do it!). The last thing is that it is quiet while dispensing. We have ours set to dispense at 8am every morning. ours is located in our bathroom in the primary bedroom and we have not been disturbed by

After around 18 months the motor which dispenses food started making a different sound and the app was sending me "abnormality" notifications. The food dispensed was lesser and lesser as well. Then one day the motor was too weak to even turn the spool which dispenses food. I took the device apart and got all the way down to the motor. Triggering the feeding shows that the motor does not spin at all, just makes a very quiet whirring sound. I'd recommend buying something cheaper. It's going to be hard to know the quality of the parts in what you are buying, but at least if you buy cheap you'll know what you're getting and you won't be out too much when it finally goes. --- Aside from that... Connectivity was a little difficult, although this is expected with IOT devices in my opinion. Make sure you connect to 2.4ghz wifi and not your 5.0. It didn't like my routers dedicated 2.4 channel so I switched the router to a smart connection mode where devices that connect to it will be intelligently routed to either the 2.4 or 5.0 ghz. This solved my issue. The app, while functional, has a very modest UI. In layman's terms: it looks like a windows 95 application. Still, it works, and it works reasonably well so I won't complain much about that. The camera is acceptable quality as long as there's good lighting. Portion sizes can be tough to get right but nothing you can't figure out. tl;dr: If you're not tech savvy, I'm sure there are much simpler plug and play options out there.

I've gone on vacation for up to a week at a time, I have 6 cats at home and I own two of these pet feeders. I needed something that was reliable and could hold enough food for what I needed. I also have outside cats and was able to build a little box with a plexiglass front so that I could see the camera. After a few mishaps with some raccoons I was able to have this feeder outside in pretty much any weather at any time of the year! I was able to successfully feed my cats when I saw them on my security cameras as well which was a nice feature. To be in another country and to be able to feed your pets consistently is great! It's let's you set portion sizes which is very convenient and once it's dialed in it works great. My only gripe with this is the app is a bit outdated, and the setup process requires the camera so if the camera gets damaged like mine from some crazy raccoons it will be pretty hard to set up! Not a very common occurrence I'm sure. I will say though, that even with raccoons trying desperately to get inside of the pet feeder it was not able to be opened! Awesome little feeder 👏

My daughter recommended the WoPet automatic feeder to me so I could leave my car home and not bother my neighbors when I would be away for a few days. She raved about the unit she has. Well, the model I bought was not the model she has and it did not live up to the hype. The WiFi and App were easy enough to set up, and initially all seemed well. While I was away, however, I received a dispensing error notice after 2 days. The reason being that bowl on this unit is very shallow, and the food backs up very easily if there is any food left behind from the prior feeding. I also watched my camera at each feeding to see my cat, and not once did I capture him eating. (Poor camera angle or placement?) The WoPet App on this unit is not as user friendly as the PetZero App used on the unit my daughter has. The voice recording you create that is played at the time of each feeding, along with the food storage capacity were nice hence my 2 stars rating. I am returning this unit and I will most likely order the unit my daughter owns, the WoPet 6L Automatic Cat Feeder, which seems to work better at a lesser cost. This is an addendum to my review. I was contacted by a WoPet customer service representative. They offered me a different WoPet model at no cost. I asked for the same model my daughter has, which is the WoPet Patrol. This unit is wonderful! It works off the PetZero app, the bowl is deeper, and you are able to create a voice recording. The only thing lacking from the model I originally bought is that it does not have a camera. I found this not to be a problem since the camera never captured my cat. If WoPet could upgrade this unit with a camera that works, this would be an amazing product. So, although I originally gave WoPet a 2 star review for the product I originally bought, I have changed my review to 5 stars as a result of their exceptional customer service!

Very good product would recommend

I have recently purchased the feeder. Managed to connect to the wifi and set up the feeder with no issue. However realise I cannot connect to the feeder when I am not on the same wifi as the feeder. Which means I cannot connect to the feeder when I am not at home. Is this by design? If yes, then what is the point of having a wifi feeder if I can only connect to the feeder when I am at home.

Me ha gustado el producto, pero creo que hace falta algo esencial, y es ver cuando mi mascota realmente come. Una notificación cuando mi mascota se acerca al dispositivo. La cámara es una función que me gusta mucho, pero verlo cuando está ahí es lo ideal, y para atinarle esta difícil sin una notificación de movimiento o más específicamente de que mi mascota está ahí junto al dispositivo.
