Pros & Cons

Pros

The timer. Is far from perfect but usable. I am still stunned at how petsafe has gone beyond anything i ever expected! This is an outstanding company that i would (and have already) highly recommend.

Cup, 2600421. My dog is clever enough to press things to open the feeder because he knows that food/medications are inside even when the lids are closed. I also wish bowls were stainless.

Canned cat food is on shelves. I use them daily for snacks throughout the day. Even with a sitter checking in. With some precautions it works fine for us.

They run on 4 aa batteries. I never have to worry about missing his medication time as long as i make sure batteries are good (4 aa batteries) instructions say to push down on the middle button for 5 seconds and they will open.

This feeder is great for my diabetic dog.



Cons

Timing system needs to be greatly improved. The timers are too difficult to use and you can't choose an exact time. Also, seven hours early. Confusing how to program though firstly.

The wet food gets dry and hard and just from use gets under the food dish into the main compartment that's just open and unfinished.

Quality


It’s very easy to use and clean, and so far, it’s been able to stump the cat!

After three years, it has begun to malfunction, making noise at the wrong time (but not opening) and then not opening as scheduled.


After several months of use one of our feeders didn’t work properly where we kept getting a low battery message even after repl...  Read More

Price


They actually work pretty well, but are pretty expensive.


I would gladly pay more for more features/app/wi-fi, true time settings etc etc but is has to feed wet food.

Shipping


It always opened on time, and right at the time, i set.


I was a few days past the warranty (in fact, i didn't even know there was one) and their rep said that she would send replaceme...  Read More

Packaging/appearance


It comes plastic wrapped in a sturdy box with the instructions included.


Looks pretty sleek too, people always count when they come by.

Competitiveness


For what the cost is, i would stay away from this product and find a better brand.


I replaced the awkwardly-shaped plastic dishes with tiny stainless steel bowls from petsmart.

    It uses a count down timer so unless you have multiple hands or can set multiple timers at the same time if you have more than one pet the bowls open at different times


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Sometimes causing fights or bullying because one bowl is open and the others have not opened yet
