Title: Works and looks great, easy to use but skip if the voice recording feature is important to you
Review: TL;DR: Works and looks great with the exception of the recorded message feature.I bought this autofeeder for my cat out of desperation. She meows incessantly for 45 minutes or more before meal times which annoys my dog into shriek howling with every meow and causes me to contemplate double murder. I’ve only had this feeder for a couple days but so far it is working great! My cat is still learning that she must appeal to her new machine overlord for food, but she is already much better than she was. Overall, I am very happy with my purchase and I will update my review if anything changes.PROS:- Easy set-up. It takes a few minutes but unless you’re changing the schedule all the time for some reason, it’s really not terrible. Some reviews claim you have to cycle through every time and portion to change something but that’s not true. You can use the “+” and “-” buttons to navigate to the meal slot you want to change without starting from the beginning. Unused slots will have a time but if you set the portion to zero they will not dispense anything. This is probably obvious but it did confuse me for a second. I set mine to have 4 meals spaced 6 hours apart and it’s been working like a charm.- No jamming problems even with larger kibble so far. The cat food I buy has larger chunks interspersed in with smaller kibble and I was worried that it might jam up the dispenser. So far it has been working just fine. It has a helpful sticker on the lid that shows you the largest kibble size it will accommodate and it seems to be accurate. I bought the 5L version which holds 4-5 lbs of food.- My devious cat has yet to figure out how to get extra kibble from it. The panel auto-locks so she can’t press any buttons. I’ve seen her stick her paw up the chute to dig around but she hasn’t succeeded in any extra snacks yet as far as I can tell. It’s only been a few days so time will tell if she will use her demon powers to beat the machine. I would suggest either putting this feeder on the floor or securing it in place because I suspect that my cat would be able to push it off a table and/or knock it over of it was empty enough. The weight D batteries alone might make it relatively stable to tipping though. I have not actually seen her move it yet but I remain wary because she is a larger cat at 14 lbs and generally a menace to society*.- It seems well-made and is very sleek and modern looking. Appearance is less important than function to me but it does look quite nice.- I like that there is a battery meter display even when plugged in. I intend to have it plugged in all the time but it will be nice to know when the back-up batteries need to be replaced.- After completing set-up, I decided to move the feeder and had not installed batteries in it yet. I was expecting to reset at least the time but was pleasantly surprised to see it did not reset at all. It was unplugged for all of 10 seconds so I can’t attest to how long it can go without power or batteries before resetting the time. – A customer service rep from PETLIBRO messaged me before my product arrived with some helpful tips and reminder that they have customer service available 24 hours on week days if I need it and a 12 month warranty. I have not had a need to contact customer service but I thought the pro-active message was nice.CONS:- It is not clear from anywhere in the instructions what constitutes a portion. From my measurements, it seems that one portion is equivalent to approximately 1/8 cup. I am happy with this portion size but I wish it had been clear without requiring experimentation on my part.- In my opinion, the only truly poor feature about this product is the recorded message option (whether you intend to use it or not). Other reviews mention that the recording quality is very poor and I have to agree. It is very staticy and mine also makes a rhythmic rasping noise even when recording silence. I had no intention of using this feature anyway as the sound of a pin drop would probably send her scrambling from across the house if it meant food. The problem is that there doesn’t seem to be a way to delete or turn off the recording without resetting the whole machine. I hit the record button by mistake during set-up, which is very easy to do, and I didn’t want to start over. I “bypassed” it by hitting the record button quick succession to create as short of a recording as I possibly could. The quick blip of static when it dispenses food doesn’t bother me but it is annoying you can’t just turn this feature off all together. This is by no means a deal breaker to me but if having a nice recorded message is important to you, I would not recommend this feeder.- Not exactly a con but I prefer a shallow dish for feeding my cat. The bowl that comes with the feeder is deep but it is a nice bowl and I like that it has a tray that attaches to the feeder to keep it from being kicked around. Luckily her old shallow bowl fits nicely within the provided bowl and I haven’t noticed any issues with spilling while doing this. Not a big deal but something to consider if it matters to you.*I promise that I actually love my cat very much! ð Picture attached. She’s the best cat in the world… when she’s not hungry.

Title: I’m very happy with this feeder!
Review: I was hesitant to buy this based some of the negative reviews but so far, I’m very happy with this feeder! I’ve done a few tests to rule out the issues that some people have reported and I’m happy to report that I haven’t experience any issues in my case.At first, setting up the network and installing software update would fail over and over. What is odd is once I walked away from the unit, about 10 feet, it connected to Wi-Fi instantly, and software also updated instantly. Somehow the cell phone in-hand interferes with the unit connecting to the Wi-Fi signal. I wish I had known this from the start.I was concerned that my router is in the basement on the other side of the house. I was able to connect to 2.4 Ghz Wi-Fi and the signal has never dropped so far. I have 5 Ghz as well but the router is too far away and there’s too many walls for a stable connection. Besides 5 Ghz is over kill, video streaming works fine on 2.4 Ghz and signal travels farther and works better through walls.I have an AC timer connected to my router and ONT to cut power to both at 4:30am every morning for 30 minutes. This simulates a power outage and the Petlibro reconnects every single time no issues.I tested the backup battery by disconnecting the power adaptor and the unit continued to dispense as per schedule with the 3 D-cell batteries! However, it disconnects from Wi-Fi when running on batteries. This was probably by design to conserve battery. Disappointed as I like to see the food in the bowl and option to manually feed for peace of mind! I found an easy and cheap workaround that maintains Wi-Fi connection on battery power. I connected a cheap $20 4000mah portable USB battery, that is used to charge cell phones, into the USB port and then I plugged a USB phone charger into that battery. The battery is charged and powers the unit at the same time. Not all USB battery packs have this pass-through feature, and I was surprised that this small cheap power pack did. I chose to use a higher quality charger instead of the included charger as I noticed that the included power pack got a little hot when charging this USB battery. I then disconnected the charger from the wall outlet to simulate a power outage and the unit disconnected from the Wi-Fi for only 15 seconds but then reconnected. It’s fully functional running on the USB power pack, stayed connected to Wi-Fi and enough power to run for 6 hours! An even larger USB battery will last at least 12-24 hours longer. Keep in mind this is only helpful if your Router & ONT are also on battery-backup/UPS so they are powered during a power outage. I have the smallest APC UPS for the router and ONT that cost $69. Also, the D-batteries are not even used until this USB battery pack is depleted! So technically my current setup will continue feeding per schedule for about 24 hours using both batteries. The unit apparently doesn’t draw a lot of power, so I wonder why Petlibro doesn’t allow Wi-Fi on the D-batteries or include a rechargeable battery instead of 3 D-batteries. D batteries are not cheap, they will lose power over time and are sold in packs of four, so I have a single battery left over. My USB battery is always 100% charged and ready to go so I prefer this setup.So far, the portion size is consistent and zero blockages. Then again, I am using very small kibble and set to 1 portion for 6 feedings. I need to dispense the smallest portion and feed more often as my cat throws up if he eats too fast or too much. This unit is great as my cat hasn’t thrown up at all since, I bought this unit! I wish I could select an even smaller portion. Portion size is bigger when using small kibble.An added benefit of the motion activated camera is that it’s also activated when my cat is drinking from the water fountain 12 feet in front of the feeder. I never see my cat drinking water and now I have proof. lolI have not confirmed yet that the low-food alert works but I will update the review if there are any issues.Some users have complained that you can’t delete a scheduled feeding. Swipe left and it gives you an option to delete a scheduled feeding.So far, I agree with everything that is being said in the positive reviews and luckily not experiencing the issues in the negative reviews.

Title: EDIT Pretty good! Does it’s job, but fun extra features you pay for don’t work ): EDIT
Review: EDIT: Not sure if the app updated itself, or the programmers caught the problem or what, but this thing is awesome! Everything works now! 5 stars â¨Overall it feeds your pet! Which is the important part. However, I have a few issues the weren’t covered in the troubleshooting section…CONS1- The “feeding call” feature on the app doesn’t work. It won’t let me add my own voice despite trying over and over again over the course of a few days.2- The camera sometimes just doesn’t connect. My connection is never bad, but the camera can just be stubborn and iffy.2-Microphone just doesn’t work. Tried adjusting app permission, restarting app, checking for updates, etcHowever, other than the app needing work, it in theory has a lot of cool features.PROS1-The fact that there IS a feeding call, camera, and way to talk/connect with your pets is really cool! If it worked it’d be a pretty sick deal2-lots of options. Battery OR chord operated, sim card OR cloud video saving options. different options for measuring food portions/scheduling meals. Super good app when it works!3-App and device are really clear, simple and easy to use. They really just need to fix those stupid bugs! It’d be a five star review if they did(or directed me to fix something I can’t find)4-Overall really pretty!

Review:  I have been using this for about a week now and I feel confident in saying itâs a great product. I have two kitties and itâs been great, they love it! It was so easy for them to get used to. They are excited when they hear the noise of the feeder dispensing their food in the morning.I tried to include as much info as I could in the video since there isnât many reviews on Amazon about this feeder. Iâll explain it here as well, the best I can. This feeder NEEDS a MicroSD card for the camera to record. I got mine from Walmart for $30CAD. You can plug this into the wall for power or there is the option for 3 large size D batteries, for my situation I thought plugged into the wall is better.I included a few pictures of what their pet libro app looks like. There is TWO pet libro apps, so make sure you download the right one for this model. Itâs decently easy to set up, the manual helps, there is youtube videos online, and the app works great and pretty straight forward. If you are not good with technology then I recommend getting someone who is to help you just in case. You can schedule your pets feedings so you donât have to manually do it. But if you check your camera from school or work and see their food is low, you can click Manual Feed and it will dispense a certain amount of portions that you pick. When I was first learning I did 4 portions, 2 per cat⦠well it turns out 1 portion is plenty per kitty in the morning and I feed them wet food for dinner. (But to each their own!) Just donât hit like 10 portions and have the food flying out of the bowl haha. I havenât had any issues at all with any part of the feeder or app, itâs all been working amazing and very easy this past week.Both my kitties can eat from the one bowl together as shown in the video, but they also just take turns. No issues there. Pet Libro has this same feeder with 2 bowls so if you have 2+ cats I would recommend getting that version of this feeder. If you have 1 or 2 cats this version is great, and itâs cheaper! Even if you have 3 cats you could make this work, just depends on your kitties personalities and how well they can share or if they are patient.As said in my video, you can set up the app to notify you for motion detection. Itâs really quite awesome. Pet Libro did a fantastic job. I also bought one of their water fountains and it just looks amazing and works great. Iâm so happy with this purchase, itâs an investment but definitely worth it. I highly recommend this automatic pet feeder and so far Pet Libro as a brand has been really really great. Great quality.

Review: Tenemos un gato en casa y usualmente le dábamos doble porción por accidente, además de que a veces nos despertaba en la madrugada para comer. Por ello decidimos comprar este alimentador automático, por las buenas reseñas y la fama que tenÃa y cumple EXACTAMENTE con nuestras expectativas. Llegó muy rápido y estaba en perfectas condiciones (nuevo). Incluye todo, el dispensador, un tazón de acero inoxidable, el cable con su conexión y el manual; lo único que no incluye son las pilas alcalinas, que las recomiendan utilizar para que siga funcionando si se va la luz. Al principio batallamos para programarlo, pero después de leer el manual y ver un tutorial en Youtube, logramos hacerlo y ya nos resulta fácil. Es únicamente para croquetas y tu puedes calendarizar sus comidas y porciones; hasta puedes grabarle un mensaje que se reproducirá cuando sea la hora de servir. La verdad cumplió con nuestras expectativas y nos encantó la compra. Lo único que si le faltó, a diferencia de otros, serÃa su uso por medio de una aplicación en el celular o una cámara en donde lo puedas ver por si llegas a estar fuera de casa o asÃ. Pero si eso no es un impedimento, lo recomiendo 100%.

Review: Once set up will run like clock work, if food is starting to pile up I just remove a couple of servings, and if itâs not enough I just add a serving when itâs being asked for 🙂

Review: Okay, so itâs a bit of a gadget, but this Cat feeder have really saves a lot of time and make the easier to keep our cat fed on a regular schedule. We use it all the time, not just when we are away. One word of warning they talk about a sachet which goes into the top of the machine which is extremely overpriced for what it is I didnât bother with it.

Review:  Estaba buscando un dispensador automático que no fuera demasiado sofisticado y fuese fácil de lavar. Este es el indicado. Sin WiFi ni cámara ni Bluetooth que en mi caso resultan innecesarios y sólo encarecerÃan el producto.Viene bien embalado y los materiales parecen de calidad. No pesa casi nada, todo de plástico a excepción del plato del comedero que es metálico.Trae cable y transformador para funcionar desde el primer momento. La tapa superior va roscada y tiene una muesca que indica la posición en que debe quedar. En cada dosificación se permite programar la cantidad de porciones que queremos. Según el tamaño de las croquetas que uséis caerá más o menos comida, por lo que ya iréis ajustando las porciones a medida que le deis uso.PROSEl plato del comedero es metálico (no sé que tipo de metal es).Pesa poco.Trae un cajetÃn en la tapa del depósito para poner un bolsa antihumedad.Incluye el cable de alimentación con su transformador.Permite programar hasta 6 dosificaciones al dÃa, y en cada dosificación especificar cuantas porciones queremos.Si le ponemos además 3 pilas (no incluidas) permite seguir funcionando aunque la casa se quede sin subministro eléctrico.Se puede grabar un audio que se reproducirá en aquellas dosificaciones que queramos. Por ejemplo llamando a nuestra mascota para que venga a comer.CONSLa programación es la misma para cada dia de la semana, tampoco me preocupa demasiado en mi caso pero digamos que es sencilla.Si se dosifica demasiada comida llega a acumularse hasta cubrir toda la boca de salida, en ese momento el aparato lo detecta y aparece un mensaje de error. Si se vacÃa el plato de comida, el dispensador intentará seguir dosificando las porciones ahà donde se quedó parado. A mi entender si el comedero está lleno simplemente deberÃa abortar esa dosificación y quedar listo para la siguiente cuando toque. El mensaje de ERROR tampoco me gusta, parece que algo se haya estropeado, lo mejor serÃa un indicador de que el plato está lleno.El manual de uso viene únicamente en alemán. Le mandé un mensaje al vendedor para que me enviara uno en español o inglés, sin éxito. Afortunadamente lo pude descargar en inglés directamente desde la web del fabricante.
