PETKIT Automatic Cat Feeder, 2.4G WiFi Automatic Dog Feeder, App Control Pet Food Dispenser with Triple Fresh-Lock System, Schedule Feeding, Food Shortage Alert, Dual Power-Charge&Battery,3L Capacity

I absolutely love this feeder. The setup isn't terribly complicated as it's all done through the app. The app is easy to use and intuitive, and it allows you to set a feeding schedule, which allows for consistent mealtimes. The smallest portion it serves is 1/10 cup, which is more than enough for one meal for my cat. Caveats: - It had trouble connecting to my wifi, and sometimes, it won't stay connected. It rarely happens during feeding times, and I got a wifi extender to put right near the feeder. That seemed to solve the problem for the most part. - It will say it's low on or out of food, even when the hopper is full. Not the biggest issue, aside from the alerts. Pros: - Easy to set up and manage feeding - Most, if not all, cat food is small enough to easily be dispensed - You can opt for a beep that sounds every time it feeds, which is great. The bowl it dispenses into is metal, so it's basically like you calling your cat(s) for a meal - It uses desiccant packs to keep the food dry, and you can get replacement ones on here for not a lot of money. Overall, I'd recommend this if you don't feel like getting one that costs more, because the bang for your buck is great.

This PETKIT automatic feeder has been an absolute game-changer for managing meal times. The 2.4G WiFi connection is stable, and the app control is incredibly intuitive—making it effortless to set precise portion sizes and customize automated feeding schedules. The triple fresh-lock design is fantastic, successfully keeping the kibble crunchy, fresh, and completely sealed away from pests or curious paws. It dispenses consistently without clogging, giving me total peace of mind when I'm away from home. A highly recommended, premium upgrade for any pet parent!

Without naming any names (cough cough rhymes with BetWibro), we had purchased a couple of their automatic feeders (not WiFi enabled), one for our first cat, then about a year and a half later we bought the second. The big issue was that the two units, even though they were the same exact model, kept time differently. One was fast, the other was slow, so over the course of a week, we would have a gulf of about 2 1/2 minutes which resulted in hurt feelings and competition. Cue the third cat and we tried a different brand. That one kept time a little better, but we were still struggling with clocks that would never be synchronized and it was a chore to always update 3 feeders every few days just to ensure the cats were fed at their respective stations at the same time and no one had an opportunity to eat theirs and steal another's in the time it took for food to be dispensed. I had my eye on this, as it's WiFi enabled, and we already have the automatic litter box, so we were familiar with the brand. I bought a couple to trial and they have worked wonders so far, the internet connectivity ensures they are dispensing at almost identical times, rather than relying on an onboard clock. So, we purchased a third, and will purchase a fourth and fifth once the kittens are a bit bigger. Setting up the feeding plan is a breeze and refilling couldn't be easier. I also like the shallow bowl because it does keep whisker fatigue to a minimum as they don't have to bury their heads too deep to reach their food. Set up was a breeze as well. It was very easy to connect as the device was easily recognized and firmware updates took moments without any failures. The app works great with virtually no delays in input - want to give them a little snack? Tap the snack button, select your serving size and it dispenses as soon as you make your choice. For the price and the features, it's a no brainer. There's simply no reason reason to pay more for less with competitors, at least those who are respectable names in this market, and not just a random brand that has popped up trying to offer a cheap alternative with a janky app. 5/5 stars.

This was recommended to us as the newer version of a feeder we had purchased three other times as our fur baby family continues to grow. Anyhow, since it was a direct Amazon newer model available recommendation we didn’t hesitate when we needed to add number 4. The feeder does what it’s supposed to do which is make life easier for you and your kitty by providing consistent feeding times wherever you are home, away, busy or free and the ability to drop a snack or full meal if running late. Some changes have been made to this newer model feeder that have made this feeder slightly less convenient. For one, ease of cleaning has gotten better and worse. To explain, the white dock the metal bowl rests inside of is no longer removable so you cannot just disengage it from the feeder like the older model and take it for a wash. It is now part of the feeder so you have to bring a sanitizing wipe or dish sponge/rag to it to cleanup the inevitable food droplets, splatter that make their way out of the metal bowl. The metal dish is still removable. While on the subject, the improvement is also related to the bowl apparatus since they added a small finger inset at the 6 o'clock position where you can now easily remove the metal bowl for cleaning. The previous version did not have this “dimple” and you had to catch it just right to get in between the metal bowl and white pedestal if your fingernail was long enough or flip it upside down entirely which can also be messy. It’s no longer an issue with this model. Between the two changes you gain some convenience and lose some. Ideally the underlying white pedestal would be removable with the inset/dimple also in place for easy clean up. The removable top to refill your kibble and replace the desiccant is now easier to access with the “switch” now on the top instead of the back. The most notable difference was the required use of the 2.4 GHz frequency to set up the feeder. It will not work on 5GHz or the newer 6 GHz frequencies. I had to set up a special 2.4GHz frequency on the router usually reserved for guest WiFi to get the feeder online and be controllable through the app. I found this to be very inconvenient but as a one time issue it was acceptable and we moved on. Be sure you have a 2.4GHz frequency available before your feeder arrives. The unit itself is great aside from the above nuances! Holds a good amount of dry food, app is convenient especially if needing to make a food drop while away from home. It has a place for a food desiccant in the lid to keep your food dry and comes with one desiccant pack. I can’t recall if there are specific ones you can purchase direct from the feeder company but I’m guessing yes. We just buy some medium to large food grade desiccants on Amazon and place them on top of the kibble to keep it fresh and dry. The ones we buy on Amazon are thicker and will not fit in the receptacle on the lid so we just place the packet directly atop the food. Overall good quality, buy your own desiccants, make sure you have 2.4GHz WiFi to get full wireless and app functionality, neutral on food base with a positive and a negative change to it. Reliable and has a newly designed lid making it easier to open quickly in case you need a quick crunchy topper for kitties wet food like we often do! :) Minus one star for downgrade to 2.4GHz only and non removable white pedestal for the metal bowl.

The product comes with two main pieces - an app and the feeder. This review is for the feeder and indirectly the app because both should work and yet neither do. One star for the feeder and one star for the app. If I hadn't owned for a year I would return this and I will still try to return for a refund. Instead of controlling how much my cat can eat it's dispensing too much food explaining why my cat has gained and not lost weight. Overall impression - a product with severe design flaws and terrible app/Petkit support. When everything looks like it works it still doesn't work. Several single points of failure without a good way to recover making this review so much lower than the 5 stars it should have gotten. It additionally feeds at random times of the day and the app will not record that feed time. The good - it feeds The bad - unusable without the app/WiFi for the device - feeds at any time of day randomly and this does not get recorded. I've observed at 3am, 5am, 630am, 3pm, 10pm - requires a Bluetooth connection to setup; more annoying than anything else - any disconnect in WiFi crashes the feeder's WiFi connection - keeping batteries plugged in means the WiFi stays in an unrecoverable state until you reinstall the app on the phone -there doesn't seem to be a way to update the software of the feeder While the app is not reviewed here it is critical for the functionality of the feeder. I would apply the following to troubleshoot using the app with the feeder. - you must use Bluetooth in order to set up the product - WiFi over 2.4 GHz not 5 GHz - if you cannot recover the product's connection via the app to your WiFi try reinstalling the app - if you have issues logging into the app try logging in over mobile or a different WiFi network (I got a lot of "network error" messages)

UPDATE**: still 5stars. Update is bc people are saying this has a bad wifi system. I set up a separate 2.4G network off my main 5G network, and it works perfectly fine. I get 2-3 wifi Bars on my phone from where the feeder is so I do have a good network connection. Only have about avg 700-800mbps wifi and a ton of other items in the home like security cameras and smart plugs with multiple roommates also tech heavy, so the issue is definitely not with the feeder (unless they got a defective one idk). I did have my power go out once but due to the battery backup the feeder still dispensed food on time and reconnected to the wifi when the power came back on without me having to do anything. Also read someone said the app didn’t work with an iPhone. I have a newer iPhone and the app was super easy, as if I was downloading any other app (Instagram, etc.). Updating bc I don’t want people to overlook this feeder bc of a few reviews that don’t always apply. So this feeder only had 8 reviews when I ordered it which is way low for my usual trust with a new brand. however, MY CATS LOVE THIS FEEDER. They weren’t intimidated by the size or layout. Very intuitive for my cats to use. Love that it’s also a plain clean look with the app (so far so good) and doesn’t have those tacky looking buttons on most automatic feeders. Extremely clean design which was a big factor in buying. The lid That seals is also nice. I picked up the feeder and turned it sideways just to see if it would spill, and it stayed secure with the latch they used. The installation was incredibly easy and straight forward. I expected it to be more intense. My cats use purina one kitten food mixed with purina one probiotic health adult food, and the dispenser has done very well with portion size mixed. Will update this if anything changes. The App really impressed me with how it logged my cats’ weights and age etc to help with portion control. I needed this bc I wasn’t sure how much to give my kitties after them being on an open bowl meal (but got too chunky hence the feeder & I am a student and not always home etc). Only Pros at this Point. I got the stainless steel option and highly recommend that bowl as opposed to the plastic. Your cat will appreciate it and it’s a lot easier to clean. The Green Color is exactly how the picture looks. Have already gotten compliments on it from my roommates. If I end up buying another automatic feeder (for both cats versus them just sharing this one), I will buy this brand and exact model again. Honestly one of my favorite Amazon purchases of all time.

Love these, especially for long work days it's nice to know that my cats will be fed at their normal set times. I also love that it lets me know when their food is getting low so I can replenish it. Also the stainless steel bowl helps with kitty acne which is a plus.

Been using this for small dog since April, it works great and easy to set feeding times and amounts on app. It comes with a USB plug-in cord. You just need the block for the wall. It has a battery back up top. Highly recommend
