PETLIBRO Automatic Cat Feeder, Auto Pet Food Dispenser with Freshness Preservation, Timed Cats Feeders with Low Food Sensor for Dry Food, Up to 6 Meals Per Day, Granary Pet Feeder for Cats/Dogs

TL;DR: Works and looks great with the exception of the recorded message feature. I bought this autofeeder for my cat out of desperation. She meows incessantly for 45 minutes or more before meal times which annoys my dog into shriek howling with every meow and causes me to contemplate double murder. I've only had this feeder for a couple days but so far it is working great! My cat is still learning that she must appeal to her new machine overlord for food, but she is already much better than she was. Overall, I am very happy with my purchase and I will update my review if anything changes. PROS: - Easy set-up. It takes a few minutes but unless you're changing the schedule all the time for some reason, it's really not terrible. Some reviews claim you have to cycle through every time and portion to change something but that's not true. You can use the "+" and "-" buttons to navigate to the meal slot you want to change without starting from the beginning. Unused slots will have a time but if you set the portion to zero they will not dispense anything. This is probably obvious but it did confuse me for a second. I set mine to have 4 meals spaced 6 hours apart and it's been working like a charm. - No jamming problems even with larger kibble so far. The cat food I buy has larger chunks interspersed in with smaller kibble and I was worried that it might jam up the dispenser. So far it has been working just fine. It has a helpful sticker on the lid that shows you the largest kibble size it will accommodate and it seems to be accurate. I bought the 5L version which holds 4-5 lbs of food. - My devious cat has yet to figure out how to get extra kibble from it. The panel auto-locks so she can't press any buttons. I've seen her stick her paw up the chute to dig around but she hasn't succeeded in any extra snacks yet as far as I can tell. It's only been a few days so time will tell if she will use her demon powers to beat the machine. I would suggest either putting this feeder on the floor or securing it in place because I suspect that my cat would be able to push it off a table and/or knock it over of it was empty enough. The weight D batteries alone might make it relatively stable to tipping though. I have not actually seen her move it yet but I remain wary because she is a larger cat at 14 lbs and generally a menace to society*. - It seems well-made and is very sleek and modern looking. Appearance is less important than function to me but it does look quite nice. - I like that there is a battery meter display even when plugged in. I intend to have it plugged in all the time but it will be nice to know when the back-up batteries need to be replaced. - After completing set-up, I decided to move the feeder and had not installed batteries in it yet. I was expecting to reset at least the time but was pleasantly surprised to see it did not reset at all. It was unplugged for all of 10 seconds so I can't attest to how long it can go without power or batteries before resetting the time. - A customer service rep from PETLIBRO messaged me before my product arrived with some helpful tips and reminder that they have customer service available 24 hours on week days if I need it and a 12 month warranty. I have not had a need to contact customer service but I thought the pro-active message was nice. CONS: - It is not clear from anywhere in the instructions what constitutes a portion. From my measurements, it seems that one portion is equivalent to approximately 1/8 cup. I am happy with this portion size but I wish it had been clear without requiring experimentation on my part. - In my opinion, the only truly poor feature about this product is the recorded message option (whether you intend to use it or not). Other reviews mention that the recording quality is very poor and I have to agree. It is very staticy and mine also makes a rhythmic rasping noise even when recording silence. I had no intention of using this feature anyway as the sound of a pin drop would probably send her scrambling from across the house if it meant food. The problem is that there doesn't seem to be a way to delete or turn off the recording without resetting the whole machine. I hit the record button by mistake during set-up, which is very easy to do, and I didn't want to start over. I "bypassed" it by hitting the record button quick succession to create as short of a recording as I possibly could. The quick blip of static when it dispenses food doesn't bother me but it is annoying you can't just turn this feature off all together. This is by no means a deal breaker to me but if having a nice recorded message is important to you, I would not recommend this feeder. - Not exactly a con but I prefer a shallow dish for feeding my cat. The bowl that comes with the feeder is deep but it is a nice bowl and I like that it has a tray that attaches to the feeder to keep it from being kicked around. Luckily her old shallow bowl fits nicely within the provided bowl and I haven't noticed any issues with spilling while doing this. Not a big deal but something to consider if it matters to you. *I promise that I actually love my cat very much! 😂 Picture attached. She's the best cat in the world... when she's not hungry.

I was looking for a highly rated and reliable dual dry food cat feeder and everywhere. I looked kept recommending this one. I went back and forth about whether or not I wanted to upgrade for the camera and I'm so glad I did. It has become a ritual even when I'm not there with the cats to check in on them during meal times. I also love that I can record a voice message so they listen for my voice and know it's time to eat. And of course I saw all those cute videos of cats listening for the sound and then running to their bowl and I was so hopeful that mine would do that and they do! It really is so sweet. As for this particular feeder, I am overall very impressed. The app was really intuitive and has been extremely reliable. The camera quality is decent as well and switches from black and white to color. Depending on the time and light. I would say the food dispenses a little less evenly than I would prefer. Sometimes it seems like more goes in one side than the other, but my cats do not hoard food so it ends up working out fine. I did have to do a little research to figure out how much to be feeding them because it was a little unclear but there are resources available to help you figure it out. I really am pleased with this purchase and I'm going to be looking at this brand for other smart cat tech in the future.

Unfortunately we are returning this product. We already have 2 PetLibro water fountains and the smaller 'Air' feeder. They have done their job the 5 months we've had them and our cats like them. The one drawback for the Air feeder is its size - with 2 cats I have to refill it ever 3-5 days. Otherwise it works well. Some reviews were concerned it didn't dispense accurately but I measured several times and it always provided an amount within about 10% of expected - close enough. So I ignored the reviews that said to be careful of this same problem with the Granary. I thought the larger capacity of the Granary meant I'd be able to go 1-2 weeks between refills given it was 2.5x the capacity. My wife also liked the idea of the camera feature so she could see if the cats were eating equally or if just one was using it more. When I set up the Granary it looked like the same mechanism as the Air, but it doesn't work the same way or nearly as well. For some reason it takes a looong time to dispense. Doing the testing during setup took 5 minutes to get it running but over an hour to test how well it put out food because dispensing even just 4x portions took forever (what was supposed to be 1/3rd of a cup). For some reason it pauses between each portion (portion, pause, portion, pause...) and each portion takes almost as long as several portions from the Air. It also makes a lot more noise than the Air, on top of the food hitting the bowl - it sounds like it is straining to dispense the food. I could live with slow dispensing, it was the wildly inaccurate dispense amount that was the deal breaker. The other reviews are right. I tried dispensing in cups, grams, and oz (all 3 possible units). It *never* dispensed more than half as much as it was told. If it always dispensed half I could adjust and just double the scheduled servings. However it wasn't just wrong, it was also wildly inconsistent - dispensing between 20% and 50% of the directed amount with no pattern to the ratio. These aren't guessed values - I recorded the requested amount and then used a measuring cup or scale to measure the result, testing multiple times with different portion counts. There is no way to compensate for that much variability. I followed the troubleshooting and definitely put out way more then the 'it will be inaccurate for the first 6 servings'. The kibble I use (purina pro plan kitten) is within their size recommendation (they have a handy 'no bigger than this' sticker on the machine). Nothing improved the inaccurate and inconsistent serving sizes. Maybe my particular kibble is just too close to being the wrong size or shape despite fitting in their recommended circle. Back to using the smaller Air feeder.

I really like the concept of this feeder and having the ability to schedule meals is incredibly convenient, especially when you have multiple cats. The 5L capacity is also nice because it holds a good amount of food without needing to constantly refill it, and having the two bowls makes it much more practical for a multi cat household. The stainless steel bowls are another nice touch and are much preferable to having the cats eating directly from plastic. The setup was fairly straightforward and once everything was programmed, it made feeding times much easier to manage. I also like being able to adjust the portions and feeding schedule instead of having to rely on one large meal. The feeder itself feels reasonably well made and the sealed food compartment is a nice feature for keeping the food contained and fresh. My biggest issue is that I found the food distribution between the two bowls can take some adjusting to get as even as possible, so I would definitely recommend testing it before relying on it for regular meals. The app and WiFi features are useful, but they also add a little more complexity than I really need from an automatic feeder. Overall, it’s a convenient feeder with some genuinely useful features, but there are a few things that could be refined to make it better.

this is amazing pet feeder machine which is perfect for healthy cats. I got one with 2 feeder bowl as I have 2 cats. all good points as below: 1. easy to set up the machine by linking to home wifi. 2. easy to set up feeding schedule and adjust the time and amount of food by monitoring via camera of cats eating habit. 3 sealed up food container to keep food fresh. 4 very quiet machine. 5 with your voice to calling your fur baby to eat. 6. this machine designed very thoughtful with backup plan which has battery option in case your home lost electricity. 7. there are 2 options of keep record of you fur baby by using cloud or memory disk. 8. make the owner relaxed about cat's eating in a healthy way, timing, amount. 9 I travel alot, so this way, I can see my cats eating via camera and not worry about. Overall, I am very happy with this machine and my 2 cats like it immediately.

No notes honestly it does exactly what it needs to do. Actually, the customer service with PetLibro was really good. One of the sensors stopped working to let me know when the cats were running out of food, and they sent me a whole new sensor module (the bottom part of the machine). I'm pretty sure I'm the one who damaged the sensor, because I let too much leftover food build up and it got stuck, which I think scratched it. Overall, it is a great product that I definitely recommend. It holds plenty of food and lasts anywhere from half a month to almost a whole month with two cats. My cats were originally small, but they are medium-sized now. The only nitpick I have is that I wish it were a little bit taller so my cats don't have to crouch down, but that's neither here nor there.

I wasn’t too excited about this product when received it was quite plain, but I wanted a dual cat feeder. This is now the second item I received and had to return, two different brands. It looks nice and I possibly got a defective unit, but the motor would barely turn African-, it was struggling to feed or push the kibble through. I know the kibble size is correct because I’ve been using the same kibble in my other current feeder. I did have another brand of dual feeder that I also had to return because it wouldn’t feed the correct portion size. So I went back to my original single feeder, which is still solid and working strong after a couple of years, and costs half the price of these expensive ones. For me this one didn’t work out, but seemed to be quite pricey for not so great unit.

I absolutely love the PETLIBRO Automatic Cat Feeder with Camera! It has been one of the best purchases I’ve made for my cats. The camera quality is amazing especially the night vision. Even in complete darkness, I can clearly see what my cats are doing. One of my favorite features is being able to record my own voice, so my cats hear me calling them when it’s time to eat. It’s such a cute and personal touch! The app is also fantastic. It sends me alerts when one of my cats is near the feeder, and if I want to give them an early meal or a little extra food, I can do it right from my phone. It’s super convenient, especially when I’m away from home. Everything about this feeder has exceeded my expectations. It’s reliable, easy to use, and packed with thoughtful features. I love this brand and will definitely continue buying PETLIBRO products. 5 stars all the way! 🌟🐱

It’s a good product came with good condition

Works great Camera and speaker good fetured Wish u could moved camera up and down and wish is distubuted food evenly as one side always gets more than other

I absolutely love this it is brilliant and my cat recognises now when the food drops great gadget

Very happy with the feeder! A great option for a single-cat household. The setting-up process is a bit of a hassle but the machine is always responsive so you get used to it. I only wish that the portions were a little smaller so that I can have more control over the quantity of food. I find that for my cat, 1 portion is too little but 2 portions is too much. Nonetheless, once you figure out an overall system for your cat's food, it works out.

I absolutely love this product! I no longer have to wake up at 6 AM to feed my cats, and the built-in camera lets me check on them anytime. It’s a game changer!
