PETKIT Automated Pet Feeder, 3L WiFi Cat Canine Feeder, Schedule Feeding Pet Meals Dispenser for Cats and Canine with 304 Stainless Metal Feeding Bowl, As much as 10 Meals per Day, USB Cable/App Management

Better Than Competitors
Without naming any names (cough cough rhymes with BetWibro), we had purchased a couple of their automatic feeders (not WiFi enabled), one for our first cat, then about a year and a half later we bought the second. The big issue was that the two units, even though they were the same exact model, kept time differently. One was fast, the other was slow, so over the course of a week, we would have a gulf of about 2 1/2 minutes which resulted in hurt feelings and competition. Cue the third cat and we tried a different brand. That one kept time a little better, but we were still struggling with clocks that would never be synchronized and it was a chore to always update 3 feeders every few days just to ensure the cats were fed at their respective stations at the same time and no one had an opportunity to eat theirs and steal another’s in the time it took for food to be dispensed.I had my eye on this, as it’s WiFi enabled, and we already have the automatic litter box, so we were familiar with the brand. I bought a couple to trial and they have worked wonders so far, the internet connectivity ensures they are dispensing at almost identical times, rather than relying on an onboard clock. So, we purchased a third, and will purchase a fourth and fifth once the kittens are a bit bigger.Setting up the feeding plan is a breeze and refilling couldn’t be easier. I also like the shallow bowl because it does keep whisker fatigue to a minimum as they don’t have to bury their heads too deep to reach their food.Set up was a breeze as well. It was very easy to connect as the device was easily recognized and firmware updates took moments without any failures. The app works great with virtually no delays in input – want to give them a little snack? Tap the snack button, select your serving size and it dispenses as soon as you make your choice.For the price and the features, it’s a no brainer. There’s simply no reason reason to pay more for less with competitors, at least those who are respectable names in this market, and not just a random brand that has popped up trying to offer a cheap alternative with a janky app.5/5 stars.

I’ve been using this for a few months now, and I’m really pleased with it. The app is easy to use and gives regular updates, the feeder itself has been reliable and consistent.

Fonctionne très bien mais j’aurais aimé que l’application offre plusieurs variétés de mesures et cela est donc simple à faire ….. mais après avoir compris leur unique mesure ….. c’est ok

I’ve own the Petkit Feeder Mini for more than a year, and it has never missed a feeder. I wanted to buy this model again for my second cat, but it seems to be discontinued. I then decided to buy the Petkit Feeder SOLO, and oh boy was that a mistake, I was excited to get this feeder, which is the upgraded model of the mini, the one I already own. Except that nothing at all was upgraded, it just doesn’t work anymore.It took me a couple time to get it up and running, I had to start over three times since the feeder was disconnecting halfway during the setup. Once I was finally done, I did a test by setting a timer in two minutes. The food only dispensed three minutes later, more than a minute after the expected time. And this happens every single time (when it actually works). My first cat gets fed at the exact second by the Petkit Mini, but my second cat, with the Petkit SOLO, has to wait about a minute more.Which brings me to the major problem of this product: it doesn’t work most of the time. My two feeders are side by side using the same network. And this feeder actually dispenses food maybe 30% of the time. The rest of the time, nothing is happening. The “online light” is always on, which means there is no reason it shouldn’t work. And yet, I always have to manually feed my cat, which breaks the whole purpose of this product.Another point, which is more of a downgrade than a problem in itself: this feeder is really loud. The first couple times it actually scared my cats with the loud beeping and mechanical sounds.In summary:- Disconnects during setup- Doesn’t dispense food most of the time- When it does, it’s always minutes late- Way louder than the older modelSince I cannot get a return from Amazon, I’m stuck with this piece of crap. Stay away from this product at all cost. Which is a shame, since the older model was so good.
