PETLIBRO Automatic Cat Feeder with Camera, 1080P HD & Night Vision, 5GHz/2.4GHz WiFi & Cam Smart Pet Feeder with App Control, 2-Way Audio, Motion Alerts for Cats & Dogs, Stainless Steel Single Tray

This year we got several PetLibro feeders for our boys. The desiccant bag does seem to keep their food fresh, as my picky 14-yo kitty eats happily from them. The timer and meal call features were perfectly and most of the time using the app to feed does too; there are times the “connection times out,” but it’s not frequent enough to deter. The cameras are also great. You can see who is at the feeder. You can see if they run over when they hear it go off, etc. This is definitely a worthy purchase that does its job, and well, and has better customer service and brand name stability than many competitors.

Title: A total game changer for our home 🐾 We absolutely love this automatic cat feeder. I got it for my tuxedo cat Mr. Socks and it has made life so much easier. The setup was simple and the instructions were clear which I really appreciated. The portions are consistent and reliable so I do not have to worry about overfeeding or rushing home to make sure he eats on time. It dispenses food right on schedule and the motor is quiet which is important because Mr. Socks gets startled easily. I also love how secure the lid is since he has tried to break into every food container we own. This one keeps the kibble fresh and safely stored. Cleaning it is straightforward and the design looks nice in our space.

**addition to this review. I recently had an issue with an error saying the feeder was blocked but it wasnt. After taling it apart and seeing there was nothing blocking it i reached out to their customer support through their website. About 12 hours later i recieved an email with detailed instructions on an update they added to my app and instructions to update app, remove batteries, unplug the unit, then add batteries back and plug it in again. It worked!! After a little over a week of trying to figure it out myself and being convinced it had crapped out after almost a year it's back on track. They were quick to respond and they so far have the issue fixed and I have every confidence they will help out quickly again should the need arise. Full confidence in their customer support and their product. This thing has worked well for almost a year until this hiccup and now we're back on track. So far I have only had it set up for about 30 minutes. Yesterday when it arrived I pulled it from the box and started set up when I realized I needed C batteries and a micro SD card, something I overlooked when I ordered it. No big deal, I went back on Amazon and ordered both those things and got them this morning. Meanwhile, I taught myself how it worked, got it hooked up to wifi, & washed the top portion where food is stored and the bowl. Let it dry overnight. Then when I got up this morning set it up without issue. Not sure why people say it's so hard to set up. But I'm also used to hooking up security cameras, fire sticks, and water leak detection units to my wifi, so maybe I just understand the steps better since I've done it quite a lot. Either way, it's pretty easy, just have some patience with the steps. My only issue really came with the fact that it locks itself like after one minute so when I was trying to get my password in it locked itself, but it's super easy to unlock anyways. I'm not sure if it would have made any difference if it was locked during this process, but the instructions said to unlock it so I made sure it was unlocked during this whole process. I tested it this morning and because I had the other version of this feeder that doesn't have the camera or use the wifi, my kitty Butters, came in to eat a snack as soon as he heard it hit the metal bowl. Added bonus is that it uses a metal bowl instead of plastic. Metal is much better for our fur babies to eat and drink out of. This one will be nice because it holds more than my old one, I can feed him snacks from work, and I can make sure and keep up with his eating habits. I also have it scheduled for his regular feedings twice daily, automatically, which was also easy to set up on the app. The app downloaded without issue. Set up was a piece if cake. All in all, so far, so good. If anything changes I'll update the review.

This is a great device, and I really like how it works. The downside is the app. It works, sure, but it's quirky and setting it up is also quirky. Let alone that there are two versions of the app to make it more confusing. There is also no way that I am aware of to have my spouse and I both connected to the device. So for now my wife has control of it and that is fine but its kinda silly that its either or. The machine works great and I like the ability to check in on the cat though the camera. But the app and annoying push to get a subscription are super lame. You can use it without a subscription but it definitely acts like you are missing out and sends annoying emails about the sub and other devices.

The machine is great, but night vision doesn’t work

Le distributeur de croquettes PetLibro est un excellent ajout à notre quotidien ! Il est très facile à programmer, et l’application mobile permet de contrôler les repas de mon animal à distance, ce qui est extrêmement pratique. La capacité du réservoir est suffisante pour plusieurs jours, et le mécanisme de distribution fonctionne parfaitement sans se bloquer. La qualité de fabrication est solide, et le design est élégant et discret. En plus, il a aidé à réguler les portions et les horaires de repas de mon animal, ce qui est un vrai plus pour sa santé. Je recommande vivement ce produit !

Nice and easy to use feeder, with camera that you can see through an app. Really nice to have feeder which has allowed us to easily portion control our cat which needed to eat slightly less. Camera feature is great for when you out of the house and need some reassurance your cat is still getting and eating it's food! Being able to easily change the portions and schedule is great from the app, rather than having to fiddle around with any buttons on the device. Does seem to occasionally go offline for a while, not sure if this is from software updates, but happens every few weeks

It is a great pet feeder. You can either plug it in or use batteries. The light disturbed me at night but if you use the batteries and unplug the pet feeder there is no more light! The design is really pretty and discrete. I have not tried to put it in the dishwasher yet but it's fairly easy to clean. Love it!

I got this for my cat so that he can get fed even when I am in the office. The sound of the kibbles hitting the metal bowl alone is sufficient to get them running to the bowl even for the first time. Didn’t need to use the voice recording at all. Did take a while to figure out the setup but once the timings are set, it’s pretty fuss free until you need to top up the food.
