"We have 2 of these and they are great for controlled feedings or short vacations! Feeds them twice a day without any worries!"

— S1993

"The Qpets feeder was very disappointing from the beginning. Voice recording is low quality, robotic and muffled. Recording would play after feeding slot completely opened. Opens very slow. Only in military time and can only program in increments of 30 minutes. Would not rotate at scheduled feedings ..."

Potential buyers should consider the significant reliability issues and look for alternatives unless customer service has improved.
