I'm very happy with this microchip feeder my older cats can't get into it at all unlike the Surefeed microchip feeder. All imma say is this microchip feeder is very light in weight so they can move it round when trying to break into it but that doesn't bother me I just move it back where it belongs I'm very happy with it unlike surefeed. Imma move all mine onto this feeder slowly

Very good product, less aesthetic than the Futurautomat by Surefeed, unfortunately the motor overheated when I tried to open the lid to refill it.

I decided we needed to buy a microchip cat feeder because I was fed up trying to stop my girl cat eating my boy cat's food all the time! She has also been told by the vet to loose weight where as he is a good weight. I wasn't sure he'd use the feeder but I had no need to worry or use the training facility. My girl cat soon realised she can't get to the food in it so now doesn't even bother. I want to write more but there's not enough space to do so. Buy it, you won't be disappointed.

Compared to the Surefeed, it's much easier to clean and works just as well. For larger cats, the chip recognition is less effective; you need to program it several times, but then it works. The plastic bowls and the depth of the bowls are a downside. We're waiting for the stainless steel version. Overall, though, it's a good device.

We previously used the Surefeed feeder but switched to this one as it’s more compact and therefore can’t be stolen. Overall, the device is really good, but I’m giving it 3 stars because our larger boys always have issues with chip recognition. The feeder keeps closing right in front of their noses while they’re eating, or they have to stand there for ages before it finally opens. That’s not exactly ideal, and eventually, they lose interest and stay hungry. It works fine for our smaller girls, though.

One of my three tomcats urgently needed to lose weight. Dry food affects him like a bag of crisps does me – once you start, there's no stopping. The solution: crisps and dry food withdrawal. The other two tomcats, on the other hand, could do with putting on a bit of weight. The solution: this automatic feeder. It's been in use for a few months now, and chubby has already slimmed down nicely, seems more agile, and the other two can access the food at any time. The feeder was given quite a rough time at first but has remained sturdy and intact.

After some initial difficulties—our cat is a bit of a scaredy-cat and was startled by the noise—the feeding with the new automatic feeder works perfectly. It took about 3-4 days, and since then our cat has been using the feeder as if he’d never had anything else. It would be great if the feeding bowls could be purchased separately. Nevertheless, the product works flawlessly, and we are very satisfied.

I needed the bowl so my eldest could get her special food. The other one, however, is highly allergic. I decided to have my eldest chipped, as a collar isn’t an option for me. At first, she was understandably scared. But now she eats from it without any problems :) would happily buy again :)

We've been using the other well-known feeder for years, so my OKH Kimba immediately understood how this one works. But finally, he no longer has to crouch awkwardly under the bar while eating. Stealing food is impossible with this feeder, and it's very compact, taking up less space. The only thing I don't like as much is the shape of the bowl. But you can simply replace it with something else instead.

I had to buy such a feeder for my Maine Coon cat because he needs different food than my other cat. He figured out how it works within a minute. The collar with the chip works perfectly. It is quite expensive, but what wouldn’t you do for your furry friends? Ute with Lucy and Merlin

In the new arrivals section of zooplus, I spotted this MiBowl feeder and ordered it straight away. We already have a SureFeed at home, but now we've got two more little housemates :-p The biggest advantage of the MiBowl is that no one can sneak in from behind to share the food. Plus, it's slimmer, and the two MiBowls fit nicely into the feeding corner, whereas with the SureFeed, we wouldn't stand a chance. The kittens took to it straight away. As always, super fast delivery from zooplus.
