3 year review update!My auto pet feeder shown in the pictures, 12 years old, by a different brand stopped working. I was using this smart feeder to feed our kitten but now it has to be used to commingle all food for both of our cats until we can get our other feeder repaired or replaced. There was not a double feeder splitter three years ago when I bought mine and I had to buy a 3D printed one and make do! So A problem with my splitter and the one the company makes is that there is no way to keep the bowls from sliding around or being pushed and pulled out of place by the cats when they go digging looking for food. My other stainless steel feeder has a strong magnetic base that holds the very reasonably sized bowls in place. The bowl that comes with this pet feeder is a bit ridiculous and over sized especially if wanting to use to feed multiple cats. Otherwise I use my own bowls and splitters and I LOVE being able to feed meals and snacks from my phone. I don’t like that everything is plastic compared to my higher end stainless steel pet feeder. A giant heavy cook book now permanently lives on top of this machine to stop our mischievous kitten from being able to push the button and over feed herself and others. I like having access to the button to give snacks especially since when I am at home I usually don’t know where my phone is to use the app. I have not installed any back up batteries and I love that it auto programs to daylight savings and settings aren’t lost after a power outage.7 months of use UPdATE: Here we are after a lot of use and my issues are #1. The blue button led light is horrifically bright. I ended up putting electrical tape over the top of it just last night after months of just keeping the user manual over it. This light should turn off either with the app or just automatically and For me this is a major design flaw. #2. The clock isn’t adjustable so i can’t set it to sync with another automatic feeder that I have from a different company. #3. I bought the double feeder splitter and I wish this feeder had a better base to accommodate multiple cat bowls. I have to place the edge of the Bowles underneath the base of the feeder or the food will end up all over the floor. Thankfully nothing major has happen and things are still working for now.Newly installed day 1. It seems that Petsafe fixed all the issues from the previous model. The WiFi 2.0 has a “child lock” aka smart cat lock out feature that renders the top feeding button inert. It also seems to have a low food alert through the app and the ability to reorder food through Alexa.Installation Pro TIP: make sure that the font size on your phone or iPad is set to the smallest setting possible otherwise when using the app words may appear jumbled and distorted. Most importantly you won’t be able to get passed the initial instruction screen that tells you how to set up WiFi.The Bad News:#1 When scheduling feeding times there is only the option to set times in 15minute increments. So I can’t set my feeder to go off at 4:58pm with my other non smart feeder. It will only set to 4:45pm or 5pm.#2. The plug is huge and due to its size hinders the ability to use the other outlet such as for my LED flashlight/nightlight.#3. There is no dinner chime like on my pillar perfect pet feeder. The dinner chime is great for waking the cats up if they are sleeping upstairs or just unaware of how close to dinner time it is.#4. It’s a chunky monkey as in it takes up a huge foot print without offering more bang for my buck as far as food holding capacity. The food hopper holder claims to hold 24 cups of food and for two cats at 1/2 cup per day for dinner that could last two weeks. My Pillar perfect pet feeder holds close to 12-16lbs of food and has an automatic low food chime.#5. I should have realized that everything was going to be made out of plastic. I was disappointed to see the food hopper was plastic. At least the bowl isn’t plastic.The good news:#1. Customer support was awesome at helping me troubleshoot the large phone text sizing issue. I couldn’t get passed the initial startup page in the app until we figured out that my text size was set too large for their app to be able to compensate.#2. I really like the idea of being able to control the feeding amounts from my phone. This ability paired with my Arlo cameras will hopefully help reduce over feeding if one of the cats doesn’t show up for dinner when we aren’t home.#3. I plan to use a 3D printed food divider to be able to feed two cats from one feeder!
