Customers are mixed about the quality of the pet feeder. Some mention it's very reliable and holds up fantastically through all the abuse they give it.

Puuurfect For Everyday Use
Update: So I ended up keeping it after all!Went on vacation, set it for breakfast only (and let the pet sitter handle dinner) and it worked like a charm.My cat is extremely food-driven, and surprisingly she leaves the filled feeder alone. So I don't think she can smell the food in there.My original review:This is perfect for pet parents who want to auto feed their four-legged kids on a daily basis. Instead of filling separate meal chambers, this style of feeder allows you dump a ton of food in and let it go.For me though, I rely on my little fuzzy alarm clock to annoy me out of bed in the mornings, and really just need something for the weekends and short getaways. So I'm returning mine and going with the other style.It does have a power button on the bottom, so I could just fill it up then shut it off during the week, but I'd feel bad teasing my little long-tailed darling with a dormant canister of food in the living room.And one meal at a time isn't right for this type...When I dumped just one meal's worth of food in the bin, it didn't really work. The rotating rudder that pushes food into the exit chamber doesn't touch the bottom, and doesn't extend very far, so it can't sweep much beyond the center. So I reached in and swept it all into the chamber myself. So it's really designed to just keep full.It seems air tight enough to not entice hungry critters. My cat was pawing at the food dish, wanting more, but left the cylinder alone.This seems like it's a tough nut to crack. There is no way, in my opinion, a kitty paw could reach up inside to get food. I've added some photos... the food chamber comes out, and I photographed the bottom of it, where u can see a stiff plastic brush guard blocking the exit, and the distance between the food exit and hole to the dish is such that I just don't think little paws can reach it.The top of the chamber opens with a button, but not an easy one. In fact, it's awkword enough that I needed two hands each time. So that should deter your cat burglar.Huge plus: it plugs in.The minus: the first morning I tried it the thing woke me up.... out of nowhere I hear my own voice shout out from the other room, "Tinker! Chow time!!" Then sounds of a motor as it goes into action, then the sounds of pellets falling on plastic, then another shout out to my cat. The whole point was to sleep in! So that kind of defeated the purpose.But if you have a 2-story house or perhaps a sounder sleeper than me, it might not be a problem. And you don't have to record anything.Settings are for 4 meal times. Set the time, choose the amount, then move to meal #2, set the time, choose the portion amount, then meal #3, etc.It beeps at you when there is no food. A great feature.There is a battery indicator light to let you know when they're low. It takes 3 Ds, but they're not required. You can use just the plug, but batteries are a nice backup for power outages or whisker-faced cord pullers.Hope this helps!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Feeder for Cat Food!
Reviewed in the United States on June 23, 2021
We purchased 2 of these feeders for our 2 cats 3 years ago. Everything worked great on both of them. We programmed one feeder to call them to eat and they did a great job of helping keep kitties fed but not over fed. We were able to adjust the number of portions to help dial in the cats’ weights so that was a plus. A couple of months ago, the stem of the mechanism that pays out the food broke off inside the black rubber paddle piece. I superglued it back on and it worked well for a couple of months. Recently, it broke off again so I hot melt glued it back on. Now the machine repeatedly shows an error of EEEE and does not pay out the food. The company does not believe the broken paddle stem is causing the error. They were able to give me a 15% off discount on ordering a new one (they said it had to be post purchase but that was fine). Spending $80 on this feeder to last 3 years was 100% worth it. I think that is a long life for this type of item and it is a wonderful tool for raising cats. The other feeder that I bought 3 years ago is still going strong at this point. I even switched the food bin/payout mechanism unit from one machine to the other to see if that made a difference but it did not. It would be my guess that the drive motor went out on the unit that does not pay out food. Highly recommended feeder.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great quality, simple automatic feeder.
Reviewed in Canada on December 9, 2021
I really like the sturdy material of all the parts of this machine. The lid is clear and is solid when it shuts closed. The food bowl is large and easily removable for washing. You have to wipe down the interior to clean it though.

The settings are easy to use. The machine pours enough for 1 cup of dry dog food, which is the perfect amount for my dog. You can’t pour more than that though. However, you can also program it up to four times a day. The machine is also a bit slow in releasing food. My dog eats from it while it’s still dispensing food out.

I use this feeder when I work odd hours and can’t feed my dog at her normal feeding time. I wished you were able to choose the days and times it turns on, but the times you set are for each day only.

Overall, great product for someone who wants to use this on a daily basis or if you’re away and want to use this along with someone taking out your dog just once a day.

Reviewed in Canada on July 7, 2020
Easy to setup, clear recorded voice prompts, easy to clean and worked well on Orijen dry dog food kibble....till recently. Purchased August, 2018 for our 6month old Cockapoo.

About a year ago, noticed one of the lower feed plastic blades was missing....didn't think much of it at that time.

Now, July 1st, 2020...food is no longer feeding properly or at all? 6 of the 8 total plastic 'bottom feed blades' have broken off?

The two black upper rubber feed blades in the food chamber area feeds the kibble down to the lower set of plastic white translucent blades.
These upper rubber 'paddle blades' are still in great shape(not visible in pics).

Bottom line, with 2 upper blades only remaining (2 rows with 4 in each around the perimeter, picture clarifies🤔)...it pretty well is a paperweight at this point. Shame...as our little girl loved it.

Unless the company has a warranty for what I consider to be a defective part, these should not have broken off in less than 2 years use with 4 x 1 portion meals daily IMHO?

The Amazon Basic batteries have been outstanding and outlived the Art Pets feeder....1st set as well!

Could have been great.....
