Pawple Automatic Pet Feeder Food Dispenser for Cats, Dogs, Small Animals - Features Distribution Alarms, Portion Control & Voice Recording -Programmable Timer Up to 4 Meals a Day

Initial concerns with auto feeders was that our cat could successfully access food. The Pawple is well designed, and has never been breeched by our Kitty. Also quite intuitive to set up. Excellent feeder.

Good product but it was way too big for my one cat & my liking.

I was excited to receive this in the mail and I love it. Took a little reading to figure out the functions. Once you get it, you cant forget. You realize how easy it is. My cats took to it immediately. I have two cats and they realize thats where their dry food will be coming from here on out lol. Voice recorder is useless for me. It sounds awful when you record. I like that they hear the food and simply gravitate towards it. I gave this 4 stars because I wish there was more of a seal on the lid to keep the cat food smell inside more. But it closes just enough to not annoy me lol. I love this feeder overall and plan to buy another.

I purchased the feeder because we were going on vacation. I was a little skeptical of the what ifs but it worked seamlessly. I did test it for a week prior to vacation.. I set the timer for 3 times a day and adjusted the portions. Though, I had to play around with the portions to prevent over feeding. I use it daily now - set to twice a day and my cats love it!! I highly recommend!

I love this dispenser! I bought it to feed my cats one time during the day while I’m at work (I feed them myself two other times when I’m home). I love that it gives you the option to set different feeding times. You can turn the times on and off. I have a 12PM time (for when I work during the day) and a 6PM time (for when I work at night) set. You can switch back and forth really easily. It holds a lot of food too so you don’t have to constantly refill. The little dish is the perfect size for my two cats to eat from it at the same time. Only thing I don’t like is the voice recording feature. That scared them so I wanted to turn it off. There’s no way to turn it off so I had to record silence. You can still hear a crackle but it doesn’t bother them. Love this overall!

As one of my cats demonstrates (pictured) unless the feeder is very full it can be tipped over relatively easily. This might be helped by putting the feeder on a flat surface i.e. not a carpet, however, the Pawple seems too light for its height. Also there is no means that I can see to secure it to a wall. An annoyance is the power connector is not well thought out, and means it cannot stand flush with a wall either, if that wasnt an issue I think it would be easier to fix in place. Finally, the LCD controls are not great. Say if you want to reduce the portion size you have to press a button nearly forty times to scroll throw the settings. Otherwise, it has been very reliable, although I also wish that the feeder bowl was wider to accommodate two cats using it.

Mostly, this is a fine item. The downsides are its difficult to program, you cant set timers from two or more to match up, and, if you have a smart cat, they will figure out how to jostle it just right to get morsels to come out. Difficult to sleep through it and cats are getting fat. I ended up putting them in the closet overnight and only taking them out when I know Im not going to be there for a feeding time. Otherwise I went back to plates.

It always goes off right on time. Works very well and super convenient when we need to be elsewhere during feedings. Adjustable feedings are perfect.

We had to use metal plumbing tape to strap it down but it keeps the raccoons from getting into it.

We tried absolutely everything, but it would only spit out a few pieces of food at a time. Unfortunately, too late to return it. Update 7/9/20: Tom from Pawple called me to see what they could do to remedy the situation. They issued me a refund no problem.
