PETKITMini 3.3lbs Automatic Feeder Food Dispenser

So good, it works! And useful i like it so muchEasy to install and easy to use

Highly recommended, can control exact amount of food by G "gram" tested multiple time and weight checked.

Amazing product PETKIT. Costumer service needs a little work but other than that I’m very happy with my purchased

Great product, but one problem, the whole instruction and labels are in Chinese. Pretty disappointing that it’s full filled by amazon but this went pass through them. Besides that great product once you get hold of how to use through YouTube and by using the app (which is in English)I just noticed some review mention no app. The app is available. Just search “Petkit” in Apple AppStore

Chinese manual and website, no English at all. App is not available in the App Store in UAE making the device completely useless here. Why sell it in UAE if it doesn’t work here?Of course I submitted a return.

The product is very good and works perfectly. Super happy with it.The only downside is the initial setup because it's not straight forward.As a possible improvement of the product, the food bowl could be metallic instead of plastic.

Aside that is a mission impossible to connect it originally, used to be great thing. Then it disconnected by itself, and after trying absolutely everything for 2 months, still didn’t reconnect and that makes it unusable.Miserable software.

It’s been two years we are using this and with No complains. And also it’s customer service was awesome they respond fast with the solution.This is a great purchase.

A little background first. We had previously used the Crown Majestic feeder for our cat. It worked fairly well although it was a bit ugly, would occasionally jam and the portion sizes were very hit and miss. We used it until its power connection internally broke and it would only run off batteries which was difficult to keep up with.So that led me on my search for a replacement. There are a lot more options now than there used to be. My main features I was looking for were wifi control and reliability.I found it difficult to narrow down my choice as I found varying reviews and some claimed that a model was terrible and some said it was amazing. I eventually settled on the Petkit mini feeder from a cost and design perspective. First of all, it looks great. I love the thought that went into the design from the magnetically attached bowl to the jumper that allows the DC adapter to easily disconnect from the wall should you need. I was a little nervous about how much food could be stored but upon seeing the compartment this is a good amount for a cat. I find we need to fill it once every 2 weeks or so.That brings us to the worst part of the product. Lets just be clear here...the app is decent...but there are some language oddities and the setup did not go according to design. I am a techy and I initially tried pairing the feeder with my phone. It got fairly far into the setup but kept failing out during the wifi pairing process. I then tried my wife's phone and it did the same. I then happened to notice that the feeder was already showing on the app's dashboard and sure enough it had been paired even though the app claimed it had failed. I don't know why this occurred but be prepared for some setup issues.Once setup, however, the app is great. The food portion sizes are accurate and on demand feeds occur nearly immediately. The schedule is easy to setup and food is distributed on time. We use prescription "disc-shaped" food and other feeders claimed they weren't compatible. We have had ZERO issues with this machine getting jammed or having any issue with our food. It is actually very fun to watch the little door open on the machine and then the food dump out.For the cost, this feeder is a steal. It is so much better than our previous feeder it makes me wonder why I didn't upgrade earlier. My only suggestions for improvement would be to further improve the app and instructions translations. There are some real English oddities (which you can see in the product's amazon page as well. In addition, the setup process obviously needs some improvement too as it failed twice for me and some how magically appeared on my apps dashboard after this fail. Other than that, the feeder is perfect. It feels very high quality and the mechanics seem sound. HIGHLY recommended.

I bought this as I had previously purchased a Petnet feeder and they went bankrupt, so the software stopped working which meant the feeder stopped working.The PETKIT feeder essentially does the same thing and PETKIT is a much more stable company so I have hopes this will be in service a lot longer.The only thing I would improve is having a stainless steel bowl (I took the bowl from my Petnet feeder and swapped it over), otherwise it does its job reliably which is all you can ask.

This review is for the PETKIT fresh element mini.It will not work on a 5GHz wifi, it has to be on 2.5GHz. The setup is really strange. First you have to connect your phone to your 2.5GHz wifi, then you connect your phone to this thing's "wifi", and somehow it uses that to get this thing connected to the 2.5GHz wifi that your phone was connected to. After you get it setup though, you have to contend with the really UN-intuitive software. Once you have overcome both of those headaches, the feeder works really well. I almost took off 1 star for the pain in the *** setup and user interface, bit in spite of the those annoyances, I like this feeder so much that I decided to give it the full 5. I'm so happy that it can dispense portions in increments as small as 1/20th of a cup. I use this feeder to give my cat a small snack in between her normal meals, so that tiny portion size is greatly appreciated. It's so nice to be able to adjust the feeding from my phone. We used to go out to eat and hang out with friends until late at night all the time and we always worried about making our cat wait for dinner until we got home, but now (once we can finally go out again) we can just use our phone to give our cat some dinner as soon as we realize we won't be getting home until late.Another thing I like about this feeder is that the build quality is really nice. The food tray attaches magnetically so is easy to take off, clean, and re-attach. The food sits inside an inner basket within the feeder, so it keeps all the food crumbs contained. All the parts fit together very precisely so it feels sturdy and looks really nice. The door over the food chute is controlled by a little robotic arm, so my cat can't just push her paw up in there to steal more food.

Good although Alexa skill not published in Australia it's available in other regions so if you have UK or USA accounts maybe you can try make it work but it's not worth the hassle.They need to publish the skill to Australia.Device works as expected except voice control.The snack button works well but not able to set snack size which is ok as you can just press it more so no big deal.Great that you need to hold for couple seconds as the tigers see and know that's the snack button but likely not able to self serve.
