Had this feeder for nearly a year now as I have a greedy overweight cat and it’s really helped her lose weight. My main issue is with the accessories which not worth the money. Both my cats started suffering with feline acne when using the plastic bowls so I bought the ridiculously expensive stainless steel ones, this didn’t resolve the issue as they still have the rubber seal around the edge. I have now resolved the issue by purchasing the Trixie oval ceramic bowls which fit fine in the feeder.

Purchased two, one one stopped opening for me and my cat. After 1 year. But otherwise they been fantastic

This feeder worked great for one of my cats (Eevee) and not so good for the other cat (Elsa) We think maybe Elsa’s microchip is further down than Eevee’s, or maybe she’s just so big she has to step right into the feeder to activate the sensor, where as Eevee is barely near it and the feeder opens. It’s not realistic for Elsa to realise she has to step that far into the feeder to get her food. We added Elsa to Eevee’s feeder to check the feeder wasn’t faulty, and had the same issue.

I feel slightly guilty giving this a so-so review - the product seems to work perfectly, but it was a complete waste of money for us. The cat that is the main reason we got it - he's getting bullied out of his food - won't go near it. He is intimidated by the noise and hates having something over his head. He'd rather go hungry than use it. I should have known better! We'll have to try to sell it on, I guess.

I purchased this so my elderly, thin cat could have free access to food without my fat boy eating it all. Took her just 2 weeks to work it, unfortunately fat boy quickly worked it out too. My old girl tolerates fat cat so they are both able to get under the chip reader together! Even if she isn't up to sharing, fat cat is tall enough to reach over the side plate and steal biscuits! So not ideal if you have cats that are friendly with each other or tall enough to reach over the sides.
