What does this mean?Pros & Cons
Pros
While it isn’t the nicest looking machine, it works well and has been dependable. It's a brilliant machine and we are so pleased we invested our money in it.
The bering app saves you time when you're out and about. It also means you don't have to worry if you're going to be late home. Bering is available on ios and android and costs £3. For a set amount of bering veggie biscuits.

The feeder needs 4 x d batteries and comes with a handy instruction leaflet. The power cord needs protecting, and hooking up a sensitive rcd seems wise.
This is a fantastic feeder that will pay for itself over and over again. We will not have to pay for expensive boarding for our cats when we are on holiday. The feeder is of very high quality and feels really secure.
Cons
It doesn't automatically try to reconnect to the wifi - you have to be physically present to manually reconnect it. The loop for the bowl is quite flimsy. This feeder is very expensive and was 5 times the price of my old feeder.

Previously we had a cat sitter visit twice a day, now we only have him once - we have recouped the cost already!
Packaging/appearance
Personally i just tip some of the food back into the hopper.
Then download the petsafe smart feed app, create an account, sync it with your wifi, set your desired schedule and portion size... Read More
Competitiveness
However, this petsafe product has resisted his attacks and has continued to work well for many months.
This is a cracking idea and well implemented by petsafe.
You can then control the feeder via the free petsafe smart feed app which is free on both apple and android app stores.
One of the most expensive feeders on the market.
