PETKIT Automatic Cat Feeder, WiFi Cat Food Dispenser with App Control, 304 Stainless Steel Bowl, 3L Capacity for Cats & Small Dogs, Anti-Clog Design for Dry & Freeze-Dried Food, Fresh-Lock Technology

A bit expensive but worth it. My cat got used to it straight away and stopped waking me up at the crack of dawn for food and it gives me peace of mind when I'm out of the house. The app also works fine and it was easy to setup.

This is a non technical review of my experience with the PETKIT FRESH ELEMENT SOLO. I'm not going to list the specs etc. but rather give my thoughts after using it for a few months now. Firstly after looking a various cat feeders, I decided to go with the Petkit automatic cat feeder given it offers notifications on my phone and I'm really glad I did. It gives piece of mind getting a notification after each feed or when food is low etc. If I didn't receive such notifications then I wouldn't know if it ever failed to dispense food. Without this feature, you would have to be checking the feeder very often to confirm it's still working. The notification feature alone make it worth the higher price over other feeders that doesn't offer this feature. The app does the job although after it's setup, I rarely have to use it. I also have the Petkit water fountain and I periodically check in on the app to review everything is working as expected and to check when desiccant and filter are due to be changed (the latter being for the water fountain). I also give my cat a packet of wet food daily in between dry food; sometimes my cat is a bit fussy with wet food and goes off it for a few days so on occasions, I go into the app and manually give an extra feeding of dry food instead (or press the button on the side of the feeder as I'm passing to dispense an extra meal). Initially and over a few days I had to determine the ideal quantity size for each feed. I feed my cat with dry food in the morning, lunch and supper time and offer a packet of wet food early evening. After working out the right balance, my cat is not hanging around where she's fed wanting more food and she soon eats all the food that's dispensed. When I started using it, I checked the portion size and tried to offer a similar amount to what I would have normally given but found I had to tweak it a bit. Also, given it's automatic, rather than feeding my cat twice a day as I previously did, I now feed her four times in total which seems to work well. My cat seems to be very content with this regime. As above, I've been using the cat feeder for a few months now and it's worked flawlessly. Note the desiccant needs to be replaced every 30 days and it's not particularly expensive however I purchased 3rd party food grade desiccant packets which work out more cost effective than the Petkit replacements. The food is air-tight sealed within the feeder and with the aforementioned desiccant it is fresher than when I didn't have this device. The feeder and the water fountain both contributes to ensuring my cat is being given fresh food and water at a set times. I would recommend this device without hesitation and if you don't opt for this specific model, I would urge you to ensure you get one with the smart notifications.

It was really easy to set up and notifies me when it feeds. I love that I can set up multiple feeds for it in a day and the bowl is stainless steel and it cleans really easily. The only downside is that it only goes down to 1/10cups and I can’t make it lower to feed my cat less food at a time.

The initial setup was a bit tricky because the machine didn’t recognise the WiFi, I downloaded PETKIT app for iPhone. I played around and removed the feeder icon inside the app (all PERKIT products were showing as default in Device screen) and put the feeder icon back again then it started recognising WiFi. This wasn’t shown in Troubleshooting page. Once connected to WiFi it’s super easy to operate from the PETKIT app. My cat seems to like eating from the feeder probably because the food is kept fresh in the feeder. A good purchase. I do recommend it. Update: 7 months on the feeder is the best ever purchase for my cat it’s so easy to operate, reliable, the app is great with lots of reminders and feeding settings. Replacement stainless bowls can be purchased directly from the supplier. It came from China but fast at reasonable price and shipping fee. Customer service is great. All in all I recommend this feeder and if needed I’ll buy other items from the supplier.

I used this feeder for just under two years before it broke. Internal screws and plastic parts fell off into the kibble, and my cat almost ate them. That’s extremely dangerous and unacceptable for a pet product. To make things worse, it broke just a bit after the one-year warranty expired. When I contacted customer service, they had the audacity to suggest I buy a new model that costs over £100 — offering me a “free one-year video storage service” as if that made up for the safety issue. Now, the app constantly shows that the feeder is empty, and it doesn’t even perform its most basic function properly anymore. Please think twice before buying this. Loose screws and plastic fragments in pet food is a serious hazard.

Very easy to set up and manage using the APP. Has worked faultlessly and is well made. Cat wasn't sure about it to start with, but has got used to it after a few days. Only criticism is that the app shows all their products on the 'front page' obviously a 'selling' tool' would be nice if they allowed you to delete them as it can appear confusing. Had purchased a cheaper feeder from a different manufacturer, but like all things, you have to spend a certain amount to get something that works. 10/10, highly recommended.

Only had this a few days but quite impressed so far. My cat is quite fussy and won't eat from a deep bowl. This machines one is quite shallow compared to others. Deep enough that food doesn't spill out the sides but shallow enough her whiskers don't rub off the sides as much as some of the others. App is really easy to use once you figure it out which takes a few minutes looking through the options. Every type of food will be different so you'll need to do some dummy runs to work out portion sizes. The machine says 1/10 cup is approximately 10g, 1/5 cup is 20g and so forth. This worked out at 7g for the food I'm using on 1/10 and it's very consistent. 1/5 a cup would always work out at 14g etc. So from there you can decide how you want to schedule the feeding relative to the portion size and total amount of food you want to dispense over the day. Once you know that you can then schedule everything through the app without even touching the machine other than filling it up and cleaning etc. You also get notifications for completed feeds so if your out and about you've got peace of mind the machine has actually gone off. Would recommend.

Pretty good, easy to use. Unfortunately, it broke a couple of weeks after the warranty expired, and my dog choked on a broken part that fell into the feeding bowl. Since then, unusable.

Honestly amazing product. We fill the bucket once every 2 weeks and we setup different feeding times per day so the cat does not get used to the times she gets het feeding which too prevent lazyness. It took around 30minutes to setup the times and ive never had to change them since. (i really dont understand all the complaining in the reviews about this.... anyways) Cons: Only one person can be logged into the app so I cannot have my partner logged in as well. And I would like to see a better "empty bucket" detection since we only get the alert when there is litterally no more food left in the bucket and we have no idea how much grams of food was not dispensed in this time. Hense why we systematicly fill it every 2 weeks.

Sono supersoddisfatta di questo prodotto, cercavo una ciotola rialzata inclinata per evitare al mio pelosino di piegare troppo il collo e ho trovato questo prodotto eccezionale! Ho comprato sia la versione doppia che quella singola e sono entrambe perfette. Sono arrivate il giorno seguente in pacchi chiusi che non mostravano il contenuto. Li ho utilizzati subito e devo dire che oltre ad essere molto belle, sono anche molto resistenti; qualità testata anche dal fatto che la ciotola trasparente al primo lavaggio mi è scappata dalle mani (perché ho un gattino che vuole sempre curiosare cosa faccio ❤) e ed cascata a terra da più di un metro di altezza e non si è nemmeno rigata. Il mio gattino è felicissimo e sicuro anche il suo collo!!! 😻 e inoltre le crocchette non sono più in giro sul tappetino perché quelle che escono dalla ciotola, finiscono sulla base bianca. SUPER!!!

Ce double bol à nourriture pour chats est vraiment très réussi car il combine esthétique et fonctionnalité. Les plastiques sont de très bonne qualité et les deux bols, bien que fabriqués en matière plastique, sont aussi transparents que du verre. Cela représente un avantage car il y aura moins de risques de les casser lors du nettoyage. Cependant, il ne faudra pas utiliser de matière abrasive pour leur entretien car ils se rayeront facilement. Le socle est très bien conçu, il est très stable et est équipé de patins antidérapants en dessous pour qu'il ne bouge pas lorsque le chat mange. Le socle fait aussi office de réceptacle et récupère les croquettes que le chat laisse tomber en mangeant. Les bols s'enlèvent et se remettent très facilement et sans forcer, un quart de tour suffit à les mettre en place. Il est possible de les installer dans deux positions différentes suivant la taille du chat. Ce bol à nourriture est un très bel objet, hélas, le logo de la marque imprimé en grosses lettres sur le devant vient un peu gâcher son design. Ce n'est qu'un détail et ce bol à nourriture a tout de même un très beau style. Je suis très content de cet achat mais les bols auraient mérités d'être légèrement plus larges. Il est facile à nettoyer à la main, je ne préfère pas le passer au lave vaisselle car il est possible que la chaleur de celui-ci déforme et endommage les plastiques. Le rapport qualité-prix de ces bols pour chats est excellent. En résumé, Les plus: ✅ beau style et beau design ✅ bols bien pensés et bien conçus ✅ plastiques de très bonne qualité ✅ position des bols modulable ✅ nettoyage facile et rapide ✅ très bonne qualité de fabrication ✅ excellent rapport qualité-prix Les moins: ❌ taille des bols un peu juste pour un gros chat

Nach langer Suche nach funktionalen, aber auch optisch schönen Futternäpfen hab ich mich am Schluss für diese Entschieden. Die Futternäpfe sehen in Person nochmals viel besser aus. Das "Zusammenbauen" ist kinderleicht. Man kann die Futternäpfe waagerecht oder in einer Schräge in die Halterung schreiben und schon kann das Essen rein. Die Näpfe lassen sich wunderschön einfach reinigen und sind dadurch sehr pflegeleicht. Selbst wenn man ein Essensstück eingetrocknet ist und fest hängt, löst er sich unter Wasser völlig Problem los. Genauso wie die Näpfe lassen sie die Halterungen dafür reinigen. Das einzige was ich anmerken muss, ist dass die Näpfe nach kurzer Zeit nicht mehr optimal in das Gewinde passen. Dadurch sind sie eher Lohse in der Halterung. Zwar bleiben die Näpfe trotzdem an Ort und Stelle, jedoch klappert es nun manchmal wenn die Katzen darauß essen. Was aber für mich mein großes Problem ist, aber erwähnt werden sollte. Trotzdem sehe ich in den Näpfen eine klare Kaufempfehlung.
