Portion size too large for my cat, also does not work with Amazon Echo
As the cheapest large capacity automatic pet feeder on Amazon this is OK, it does the jobHowever, I have two issues with it..Firstly, the portion size is too large for my cat - the reason I needed a feeder like this is that I have to feed my cat small portions multiple times per day, otherwise he wolfs the kibble down and vomits. Would have preferred if the portion size was about half what it actually is. Even the listing states feeding small amounts as a benefit but it actually dispenses about 50g per portionSecondly, it simply will not work with Amazon Echo - after adding the device in the Alexa app (it is detected as a Nineleaf Switch) it cannot be activated and the Alexa app just reports "there is a problem", have tried multiple times, re-installed both apps but it simply doesn't workTo be honest I wish I'd just payed about £5 more for a different one so I cannot in all honesty recommend this product :/

Excellent. Works with Alexa (in a round-about way)
Simple, compact & cheap. Wasn't sure at first as it didn't work with Alexa out of the box but if you set up a tap-to-run shortcut in the app, Alexa will recognise this as a scene and you can create a routine to dispense using a voice command.

Works perfectly every time
This item replaced a different model that was unreliable. Much happier with this device. I have a camera watching the bowl and can add more food via my phone from anywhere. Ideal when away from home. The portion size is quite big so if you had one kitten it would probably give out too much food on the minimum setting.

Good value for money
I compared a lot of food dispenser before buying this one and it's good value for money. The app is easy to use, it is battery powered and wall plug powered. The only 2 things I would improve is the ability to choose the portion size and the noise when it's dispensed. It's not that noisy but I live in a small flat and in the morning it does wake me up.

Hard to connect
Absolute pain to get to connect to internet I ended up using an I phone and that took 3 attempts. I was about to box it back up and send it back when it connected.Once connected the app is easy to program and the unit seems to work well . I hope it reconnects to the internet easily after a power cut or I'm going to throw it in the bin

Works well
I bought this so that my cat gets only certain portions as everyone keeps feeding her not knowing that she has already been feed. Also great whilst we were away and someone was house sitting as they didn’t have to worry about feeding just checking she had food. It works well and was easy enough to set up. Now thinking about getting one for my dog…..

I like design and quality
We had been looking at these for a while. We decided to go for the one for quality brand, easy of use and capacity. It is a great, easy to use and to keep clean. this is for my dog i hope she will like it. we keep it in Kitchen and it is not taken too much space. We would highly recommend it.

Easy to setup and works like a charm.
The feeder was easy to set up with the app on my iPhone. Now my pussy cat gets a consistent portion size at regular times twice each day. If I’m late home he’s not hungry. Very impressed.
