Cat Mate Automatic Feeder with Ice Pack for Wet Food - 2 Meal Timed Pet Feeder, No WiFi or App, Portion Control for Cats and Small Dogs, 14 oz Capacity, Battery Operated

works like a charm! super simple to use and accurate time countdown. The battery life has worked wonders for me. Very durable. Just don’t forget to freeze the ice pack if you need to use it!!

So far the timer has gone off and food is released. There is ticking but if you're not sitting alone in a quiet room you can't even hear it. Wish the dinner bowls were stainless steel opposed to plastic but its a good value for my uses, i just wanted the ability to feed my cat when I was gone during the day at work.

These trays work decently and are very reliable at opening. They are easy for my cat to eat from, decent size, and easy to clean. There is a small ticking noise from the system, but it isn't loud at all. My main complaint is that after only a few weeks of watching the feeder, my cat learned that the timer physically released the food, and it became very easy for him to learn how to turn the knob with his teeth to get his food whenever he wanted. The timer also has very narrow margins between each houe line, so if precision matters for you, it's hard to tell if the timer is actually at 4 hours or more like 4.5 or 5 hours. The ice packs keep cold in the container for ~8 hours so I felt comfortable prepping food for 11-12 hours in advance. It's very hard for any automatic feeder to keep wet food cold that long but it at least gets close so that food is only sitting at room temperature for 2-3 hours.

This is great when you know you know you wont be home for usual feeding time. the ice pack helps keep your wet food fresh. My only compliant is that the timer is always on. even when it opens it will keep ticking away non stop. I read in the instruction when not in use you have to remove the battery. this is the only inconvenience. if youre not keep track on your battery, it can die when youre away and the feeder will never open.

I love these. They have never malfunctioned on us. We use them every night to set up their breakfast so they are not waking us up at 5am lol. Great for leaving the kitties home for a night. The battery life has been impressive. I bought ours about 3 months ago and have yet to change the batteries. I do think it is good value, but note that the material is cheap. I’m not sure if it would survive if we dropped it, but honestly for the price and for how simple it has made our life I highly recommend it. So easy to use and dependable.

So this cat timer bowl was a good idea, and nice try but they need to go back to the drawing board and design something that actually works the way it's is intended to. Unfortunately there is no way you could feed 2 cats at same time, it is highly unlikely that both lids would open at the same time. Timer numbers aren’t even correct. I set it on a even number and it still takes hours to open. The first one that I ordered one of the lids didn't open completely. The second one I ordered the left side would get stuck near the 0 point and would sit there for hours before opening, (this would only happen occasionally). So no I am on my fourth of these timer bowls and it is doing the same thing get stuck on the zero point, Or doesn't open when it should. Not sure why it needs 48 hours of timer on there; an ice pack is only going to last about 6-8 hours (you definitely need to buy an extra ice pack that way when one Comes out one can go into the freezer). They should make less hours and bigger numbers with 1/2 hour marks. Also, the weight of the machine should have been heavier. Unless you have a nonslip pad under the device, It will move around. I have mine propped on something to make it higher with non slip material under cat bowl. basically this cat bowl is garbage. So basically now I am mostly using the bowl to put the food in the night before and then I have to manually open it. It's less work than going to the refrigerator and getting everything out in the morning. Still just a useless machine, never know if it's going to open or not open on time. Lately it has not been opening at all. So it basically is going in the garbage either that or I can set it by my head while I sleep and manually open it when it's time.

Overall it does the job. The two compartments can act separately or, you can attach a plastic piece that comes with it so both hatches open at the same time. I like that is an option but you have to set both timers and they both have to go off before the hatches to open. However the main issue I found is that it’s impossible to get any kind of accuracy with the timer knobs. The timers are a 48 HOUR knob, so each tiny line is a whole hour. It would be nice if they clicked at each hour interval at least but it just slides seamlessly. Further there is some give to the knob so it’s unclear where the timer is set right on a line even if you’re doing it very meticulously. It’s also a pain to calculate down how many hours until feeding time because I don’t end up filling it at the exact time each night. The second, less significant issue I found was that it opens pretty quietly. That could be a nice feature but one of my cats caught on quickly to the new device but the other didn’t so I ended up having to tape some bells to the lids so the one didn’t rush over and eat both their food. Third, it’s note worthy that this thing will tick like a clock 24/7. I keep it in the kitchen so it doesn’t bother me, but I’m extra sensitive to noise so this would bother me if it were in my bedroom. One last criticism: The ice pack feature is a good idea but I’m not sure how effective it is for wet food. As the food warms it drove one of my cats crazy and he started the habit of trying to break into the device at 4am which was worse than them waking me up to be fed. (To the products credit he never succeeded.) I even tried freezing the wet food beforehand also but as it defrosted the same issue occurred. So I switched to dry food but would have just bought an automatic feeder that’s more suited for dry food if that’s what I was going to do in the first place. I still give it three stars because some of these issues wouldn’t effect some people and I can imagine still using this for wet food, if I’ll be gone for a feeding and don’t care exactly when it goes off or if the cats try to break into it for an hour.

Update: I bought this back in May and it’s July, and for some reason the timer stopped working :( I changed the battery, but it’s disappointing that it stopped working— my cat sadly starved for 8+ hours while I was at work. My cat eats on a schedule, 6 times a day. I work a 10-6 so I’m not always home to give him his 1pm & 5pm meal. The timer does go all the way to 48 hours, but from my observation the ice block is already warm after 8 hours and my home room temperature is about 70°F. To the person who suggested putting a bell on the cover: GENIUS! And thank you for the idea. I used two of my cats bell toys and taped it on the top so he can hear it when it opens. Holding the food for 4-8 hours is no problem, I can’t really speak on anything longer since I haven’t tried or had a reason to. The food stays fresh and isn’t dried out. I add two ice cubes to the side where the food stays longer, just for a peace of mind! Works great, my cat learned how to use it the first day I left him home alone. The sound of the bell helps. Great value!!

Świetnie sprawdza się na codzień. Niestety, po jakimś czasie kot wyłamał jedną z klapek zamykających, nie można dostać nigdzie do dokupienia, przez co możemy już tylko ustawić 1 pojemnik

Simple to use, tricky to see if the battery is making the dial move but after a test run you know it does but a great option for over night or weekend trips away

Super simple mais fait le job (on a juste beosin que notre chat ne mange pas tout en une fois et qu en été les mouches n aillent pas pondre dans la nourriture. À ce titre ils sont top

明け方にお腹空いて鳴くのでネコ用に購入、時間をセットするとその時間にフタが静かに開くので人間の睡眠も邪魔されないし、匂いで気づいておとなしく食べてくれるので静かになりました。単三電池一個なので使用しない時は電池ぬけば良いし買って正解でした。

Un producto que me sorprendió para bien en muchos aspectos. Buscaba un comedero automático sencillo y a poder ser sin necesidad de conectividad via app, etc. La primera grata sorpresa fue el packaging del producto: Sencillo, minimalista y elegante. El comedor en si es muy sencillo de utilizar. Funciona con una pila doble AA. Tiene dos bandejas que funcionan independientemente y se pueden programar distintas horas de apertura. El frio se proporciona mediante una placa de frio que se pone debajo de las dos platas de comida. ✅ PUNTOS FUERTES: - No necesita conectividad wifi/app con lo que un trasto menos emitiendo radiación por casa - No necesita de enchufe ya que funciona con pila 🔋 - Sencillez al programar retardo de apertura, sencillamente girando una ruedecilla - Sistema de frio “rudimentario” pero efectivo ❌ PUNTOS DE MEJORA: - Las ruedas del temporizador pueden tener cierto “juego” que las hace algo imprecisas al fijar el retardo de apertura (nunca me ha supuesto un problema) ⚠️ A TENER EN CUENTA: - Hace un ruido como si fuera un reloj temporizador “tic-tac” muy sutil (se puede escuchar en el video). Para mi personalmente no es un problema, pero si hay alguien con el oído muy fino en casa (ej: mi mujer 🤣) podría serlo. - En nuestro caso lo usamos para gato y va genial, pero el cacharrito pesa poco. Si se va a usar para perro QUIZÁ al comer lo podría. llegar a arrastrar 🤔
