If you are looking for more moderately priced feeder, the PETLIBRO Air Automatic Pet Feeder is designed to keep out pests and offers the ability to program up to six scheduled feedings with an easy to use interface.

The company was amazing! They sent me a replacement feeder and were even happy to make it the F07 6L model with Wifi. The Feeder-Robot's reservoir can hold up to 32 cups of dry food, though anything other than small, round kibble will likely need the included Hopper Insert. It's designed to more effectively funnel food into the dispenser, but also reduces the total capacity to 25 cups—still a substantial amount of food. Our testers felt that all of the issues they identified were minor. The SureFeed Microchip Pet Feeder is excellent at what it's designed to do. While this cat feeder only works for very specific scenarios, it handles that scenario with aplomb. Some automatic cat feeders hold several pounds of food, while others only hold a few cups. Less expensive models typically only hold a few meals worth of food, and more costly options may hold over 3 pounds of food. To help you compare models, we've provided the maximum capacity in cups or liters for each of our recommended feeders. While it may seem as though it would be better for a feeder to hold larger amounts of food, smaller containers may help food stay fresh since they'll be refilled more frequently. The SureFeed Microchip Pet Feeder has a very different function than most automatic cat feeders. Instead of regulating your cat's food schedule and ensuring they are fed whenever you are not at home, the SureFeed is more like a cat food gatekeeper.Large Capacity Hopper - Unit has a transparent hopper,making it easy to see remaining food and to replenish in time.The rotatable latch cover prevents the pet from having unauthorized access to the food.Attached stainless steel food bowl is easy to clean.The large capacity with auto dog feeder ensures your pets stay full and fed no matter where you are. With two rounds of lab testing, the Whisker Feeder-Robot continues its reign as our top choice for cat parents. The adaptable automatic cat feeder has a variety of intuitive feeding options and the most useful app of any feeder we have tested. It also scored especially high marks for its features, effectiveness, timer accuracy, and portion control.

Rather than relying on a timer, the SureFeed is designed to restrict access to specific cats, identified either by their microchip or by an included RFID tag that you can hang from your cat's collar. This makes it ideal for pet owners with multiple cats on different diets. For example, if one cat has a special diet and eats separate food, the SureFeed can ensure that no other cats in the household will eat it. It's also a great way to make sure only your cat eats the cat food, and not your dog. While it's hard to imagine scenarios where you'd need this many, the SureFeed can be programmed to identify up to 32 cats.While the connected version's app didn't impress as much as the software included with the Whisker Feeder-Robot, our tester still found it a useful added feature. There are other optional configurations of this feeder available as well, including a larger capacity 6-liter version and a version with a semi-opaque reservoir that makes it easier to see how much food is left. In our testing, we used two different sizes of cat kibble along with larger dog kibble. The smaller sized kibble was more compatible, so something to keep in mind if your cat has a preference for a bulkier food or you plan to use with a small dog. Properly maintaining and cleaning your WOpet automatic pet feeder is essential to ensure your pet's health and well-being. Regular cleaning prevents the buildup of bacteria, mold, and food residue, creating a safe and hygienic feeding environment for your furry friend. We tested 24 automatic cat feeders in our New York Citylab with two rounds of thorough assessments spaced several months apart. And after each round of lab testing, each feeder was placed in a real home with a real cat (or small dog) for additional insight into the functionality and reliability of the each automatic pet feeder.

Lift the food tank's lid and gently lift the food tank itself out of the feeder's base. This access allows you to clean all areas effectively.As for the interface, the simplistic technology—while reliable—does leave room for improvement. A knob gives you the ability to delay the feeder from opening for up to 48 hours, and each hour is represented on the knob by a dot with no regard for additional intervals. This means that you are only capable of programming the feeder to open at the hour and not by the minute within the hour. Because you add food to the SureFeed using its separate plastic bowl, it can work with wet or dry food. A split bowl that allows you to serve two separate portions at the same time is also included. The feeder's covered design has the additional benefit of protecting food from flies, tamping down smells, and generally keeping wet food fresher. The Cat Mate C200 2 Meal Automatic Cat Feeder features two compartments each capable of holding up to 1.5 cups of wet and/or dry cat food. And it only requires one double-A battery to operate, so you don't have to worry about a power outage and you don't have to place the feeder near an outlet. It's lightweight and a reliable choice for maintaining a feeding schedule while traveling with a cat.

At first she was skittish about the bright light on the front of the F07. I thought I might need to cover it up with something that's at least translucent to dull it, but it just took her a couple days to be on the new program!

The PETLIBRO Air Automatic Pet Feeder has everything you need to reliably feed a cat on a timer. Plus, the lid has a press-to-release button that forms a tight seal to preserve the freshness of your cat's food. We liked the clear lid because it allowed us to see how much food was left at any given point. Competition: Budget options exist but not at this caliber The C500 can be programmed for up to 5 scheduled mealtimes, with each compartment holding 1.25 cups of food. Programming is straightforward, but one tester advised that users pay close attention that they're distinguishing a.m. and p.m. to avoid a missed meal.
