Highly recommend the 3 meal size if you have less than 3 cats. I also purchased two so they don’t fight over who’s eating first..definitely recommend for people who struggle to remember feeding times or you like to keep your space clean (cause cats do NOT care).
I won’t take off any stars but that might be because I don’t find the smallest thing possible to complain about, the price is reasonable, and I seem to understand you’re not going to get every little feature you desire…all in all don’t be afraid to pick one up!! I wish I knew about this earlier to be honest.
These cat mate feeders work really well for the most part. They’re easy to program and work reliably on AA batteries. I like that you can use the freezer packs to serve wet food although I probably wouldn’t do that if I was planning on being gone more than a day. Even my smart 5 year old cat can’t get them open, and he has definitely tried.
One of these feeders had a button sensor quit working on the control pad and I’m not sure how to fix it without opening it up. It’s only one out of the six so I doubt it’s an issue with the design or anything. I didn’t check to see if that’s a common issue, though, and if I manage to figure out how to fix it, I’ll update here.
I do wish there was a multipack of these so I could get a few more to space out feedings, since this is the only feeder model of the billion I own that I’m reliably sure feeds my cats on time and is the only one that works with wet food.

Update: Raising my review to 5 stars... I have been using this almost every night overnight, lately, and also when I go out for a day and it's just brilliant. Such a great purchase! It'll also be good for her cat-sitter to use when needed. Also, once, it rotated with the top off and got misaligned, but it was easy to fix by pressing adjust plus the up button simultaneously and holding. I see online that there's a stainless steel food dish insert (instead of plastic) available on the product website... Would be awesome to have this available on Amazon!
Das Plastik gefällt mir eher nicht, doch es ist robust und lässt sich gut reinigen. Es macht ein Geräusch, wenn es Futter gibt, so dass mein Kater sofort Bescheid weiß und zum Automaten sprinted. Es hält gut dicht und hat 2 Kühlskkus, die ich noch nicht gebraucht habe. Ich kann nur jedem empfehlen, sich so ein Teil anzuschaffen. Morgens befüllen, abends reinigen. Tagsüber kein Gedanke ans Füttern mehr👍🤓
Inoltre è utilissimo se prevedi di stare fuori una giornata
Ideal pour partir en WE, le chat est autonome pour 3 jours. Pour la pâté, sous la gamelle, il y a un pain de glace. Perso, mon chat ne mange que des croquettes.
