PetSafe Smart Feed Pet Feeder – Automatic Cat Feeder, Automatic Dog Feeder with App – Compatible with Alexa, Apple, Android – Backup Batteries for Power Outage, Black

So far, great, better than the older version
The old version of the petsafe feeder lasted us abput 7-8 years before the motor gave out and we have their water fountains, it’s a solid brand. We were deciding between getting another old model or spending more for the newer version which we ultimately decided on taking the chance that more tech meant more problems.So far its been great.with no issues. It’s internet connected so the clock is always up to date. The other model would slowly lose time requiring clock resets every few months. It notifies us of feedings, errors and food levels. The app makes programming it super easy and we can change it on the fly if the vet recommends a change. Older version is a lot of button clicks. The splitter for our two cats works perfectly. Its nicer and more solidly built than the older one and the lid latched better so the cats can’t pry it off.All in all a win. Will update long term if the more tech heavy model ends up being more trouble than the good old “dumb” but amazingly sturdy over time version.

Great Feeder. Have had zero problems. Runs flawlessly.
This is a great feeder. I use for my 98lb Labrador Retriever. I have had zero issues as some have mentioned with it losing programming when power goes out. My apartment complex power goes out often. When it comes back on the feeder reconnects to my WIFI immediately. I feed my dog via the app while I’m at work. Sometimes i use the scheduler. It works perfectly.As others have mentioned – when you are setting it up – turn OFF your phones Bluetooth. The feeder can connect to both Bluetooth and WIFI. If it connects to your Bluetooth you will only be able to trigger feeding while you are in proximity. The instructions fail to tell you this. You need to set it to connect to your WIFI not Bluetooth. Then you can feed on demand anywhere in the world as long as you have cell service on your phone. The scheduler is easy to use and works great. It notifies you that your pet was fed.I have not has any issues with it jamming up from food. It has worked flawlessly for several months. It will tell you when you need to add more food. It is easy to clean out too. I have only cleaned it once since purchase (4 months ago). I have not had any issue with my dog knocking it over to get to the food in the hopper, although if your dog is very food focused I can see it as a possibility. The only thing i would change which is why i deducted 1 star is that the back of the bowl is slightly underneath the lip of the machine where the food pours out. My dog is afraid to eat food that is at the back of the bowl . I wish the ramp the food comes down was angled forward more so the bowl could be fully exposed. The rear 10% of the bowl is under the lip of the feeder. But overall it works great and is very dependable. It is worth the price. I highly recommend.

Llevo usando el alimentador un año y mi experiencia ha sido magnífica. Se conecta con facilidad al WiFi y a la app del celular. Me avisa cuando está bajo de alimento o si está por terminarse. La puedes programar por horarios y cantidades necesarias y lo despacha fielmente a lo que se programa. Puedo salir de viaje con la seguridad de que mis gatos reciben su alimento. Para mí es un 10

Realmente vale la pena y no me arrepiento de nada!!! Puedes programar las porciones y los horarios algo que me ayudo mucho cuando tenia que salir de casa por varios días, realmente lo recomiendo!!!

Fácil de configurar, buen diseño, conectividad aceptable (en ocasiones perdía la conexión a internet pero aún así seguía dispensando comida).Lamentablemente desde el día uno que lo configure se mantuvo en error (Led en Rojo). Cada que dispensaba comida daba el mismo error: “Slight hiccup trying tofeed your pet. Check your feeder to make sure your pet gets feed”Realice las instrucciones del video de Troubleshooting para ver si eliminaba el error. Pero nunca pude.Está en proceso de devolución y pediré una nueva unidad ya que de verdad me agrado el diseño y funcionalidad. Espero poder cambiar mi reseña con la nueva unidad que pida.
