"So far works as it is supposed to and both cats will eat from it."

β€” Rachael

"Could have been my WiFi, but it just wasn’t worth the trouble. Every time my internet went out, in my rural area, I had to reset it. Chewy was wonderful and actually sent me a second one of these, but if you don’t have fiber internet, it is probably not worth it."

Bottom Line

If you have stable WiFi and can tolerate occasional issues, this feeder might work. Otherwise, consider models that don't rely on WiFi.
