Another that we have tested

Oneisall Wifi WiFi Automatic Cat Feeder for $ 60: I had great hopes for this wireless feeder which has a rechargeable battery with a lifespan of 100 days and an integrated application, but it is simply too unreliable. Thanks to the application, you can program up to 10 daily meals (in 1 to 12 portions each), monitor the food habits of pets and personalize meal calls. Unlike other applications, you are unable to choose the size of the portions, but you should rather multiply the number of portions. The application gave me constant problems and often disconnected from the feeder and could not reconnect to WiFi. Fortunately, I was able to schedule meals via the screen and the buttons, but it would have been much more pleasant if the application had worked reliably.

Catit Pixi Smart 6 Meal Feaux for $ 103: Like others on this list, the Catit Pixi Wet and Dry feeder uses ice packs to keep the damp food fresh and discovers the meals below in six compartments in a rotary schedule. The calendar can be programmed via the application or modified on the body of the feeder. At this price, the application should not be so limited and glitch. The calendar is available in military time only, and the application is extremely limited – you can only define the meal schedule on the same day, and when I wanted to do only two to three meals a day spread over two days, I had to reprogram meals for each new day. The feeder is not cold enough to spread meals and wet foods were not at a safe food temperature. At this price, just offer Petlibro’s polar wet eater for a few more dollars.

Catit Pixi Smart Cat Feeder for $ 140: Kibble is stored in the body of this dry feeder, but it does not have a window to visually check the food levels. The calendar to plan meals shows only one week at a time, and although it should repeat itself daily depending on the schedule, I found that certain days, there would be no schedule despite a calendar. The Pixi do not tell you the amount of food distributed either; He simply refers it as a “part” – I measured manually and I noticed that the part was less than a tablespoon of kibble. After having used it continuously for more than a month, I found that it was extremely glitch and almost never glued reliably to the scheduled calendar, sometimes completely jumping meals. This feeder is potentially dangerous, and I would warn the parents of pets against counting on it.

Close Pet C500 for $ 75: This moist and automatic dry feeder can plan up to four pre-portioned meals (and a given meal manually) which are open to a timer system using three AA batteries (sold separately). The user prepresses the four times they want the bowls, who have ice packs below, turn. The bowls are quite deep and narrow and are not super easy to reach for cats, which could cause tiredness of mustaches. And although there are two relatively large ice packs, when I checked the feeder after a night’s sleep, the packs were not very cold. It can be OK for kibbles, but wet food has been kept at dangerous temperatures, and my cats could not reach all the food.
