[@elojunitox]

just got this feeder love it just wanted to add that you don't need the 3 D batteries, you just have it plug into a portable mini charger (like for cell phones) and if the power goes out it will use the mini charger

[@LCCINNH]

I came upon your review to see how to clean it! The cleaning is very simple! I had one cat who didn’t care about food at all and one who would anxiously wait for hours for dispensing! I bought two of these and put one up high so the overeater couldn’t get to her brother’s. I also put a clay flower pot over the top of one just so she wouldn’t try to upend it. No complaints at all! I love them and they definitely helped to cut down on free-feeding overeating.

[@aaronkottke2518]

I just got this feeder, and my cat was able to manually dispense food on the first day by resting his paw on the touch sensors! He has not replicated this finding. It’s a good feeder.

[@grapeskunk4003]

I just bought this on sale with the allaboutcats discount on top for $61! So happy! I work night shift & have to wear a CPAP mask during the day for my sleep apnea and need this to feed my cat his two tablespoons of kibble for lunch time.

[@AllAboutCatsYT]

Awesome!

[@kevinw7319]

I have one of these and my cats LOVE it. As soon as it goes off they scream across the floor to get to it.

[@jonogren5567]

Cat is saying please feed me. I'm so glad to see your ginger cat is here. He's a darling.

[@dragonslayer8724]

Purchased this feeder around 9 months ago. But Petlibro wouldn't stand behind their product and honor their 12 month warranty they offer after my unit stopped operating. Stating my only option was to buy a new feeder. Such a shame because I liked their products.

[@stevieg4201]

I ordered this feeder yesterday and it came in today, I set it up for my kitties, and it’s pretty cool, like you said, I have to play with the portions, I have 2 kitties, but got a single bowl unit, they’re use to sharing, once I have it dialed in, I’ll be able to go see my honey and not have to worry if the girl I pay to feed them wet food, showed up, great video, it answered a few questions I had that wasn’t in the paperwork. Thanks again 😸

[@katetx2001]

Thank you so much. My task list today included ordering the older Petlibro that you reviewed a few months ago, but I had some concern about my highly-motivated food thief. This sounds like a big upgrade. Thanks!

[@raymow9683]

TY! Best investment ever. Helped spread out my cats food schedule every 5-6 hours so she doesn't eat it all at once. Especially at the 5am time when I'm trying to sleep on my days off. Works great no issues.

[@stephaniegomez0328]

Thank you for your great review videos! I just purchased this feeder last night and was hoping for a video review from you, which popped up today! :)

[@Olimzel]

Detailed review, as always. Just ordered mine with your code. Let's see how well it treats my cat.

[@DMuchnik]

Thinking about getting this feeder, after 8 months of using it what are your impressions?

[@Olimzel]

@@DMuchnik It's great. I found that you don't really need the Wi-Fi version, so you can save yourself a few bucks. Just schedule it according to your cat's needs and you're set. It's hard to see yourself going back to serving every meal, honestly. Your cat shouldn't take too long to learn that every time it goes off, it's grub time.

[@CJ6950]

Finally, so,some actually breaks down portion size. 🐾🐾

[@elenazaaba7522]

Thanks for the review. We received ours yesterday and so far we are loving it!

[@randomhumanoidblob4506]

Love the channel and this is the feeder I chose because of your in-depth reviews, so it's YOUR FAULT that widdle fluffikins is on reduced nosebag. He's ABUSED and STARVING and IT'S ALL TERRIBLE! But just for anyone watching, you don't have to go through the whole process with the clock etc. The manual doesn't tell you and I found out by accident, but you can just bypass by using the plus button. So you unlock then press + until you get where you want to be THEN press setting and go into changing just that part. If you go too far, just press - to go back a step. You save all of ten seconds rather than starting at the beginning and clicking through until you get where you want to be, but it comes up a lot in reviews. And it saves you changing something by accident if you can go straight to the programme you want to adjust. It's hard to describe but if anyone sees this and wants a step-by-step, just comment and I'll do the honours. I'm still working it out myself and only found out by accident, so it's really not clear. Give the fluffies a hug from the UK 🤗

[@lauraramosdelgado]

Hey!!! Got my feeder yesterday. So excited and thank you for the recommendation! Let's see how my cats like it.

[@jonathonE]

How do you like it?

[@lauraramosdelgado]

@@jonathonE Hey, my cats and I love it. So much that I bought a second one for my master bedroom. The product is just amazing. Very high quality, you can buy D batteries and it keeps all the setting and stays working even when the power is out (which is a common thing where I live), keeps the food very fresh, it gives a window of time of about a week or more if you are feeding two cats, it looks very nice, the sound is minimal, after programming it there is no need to change any setting, I LOVE IT!

[@jonathonE]

@@lauraramosdelgado thank you so much for all the info! I’m thinking about ordering one today, I just have one last question. How sturdy is it? I know she mentioned in the video that it can be knocked over easily and my cat is pretty insistent on his food 😂

[@lauraramosdelgado]

@@jonathonE I completely understand. Mine looks quite sturdy. My cats have not been able to get food out, neither take the thing down 😂 I put is in a corner and they just go to eat when they want or hear the little kibbles dropping. I cannot express how satisfied I am with this purchase. Since I have a couple of cats, waking up to feed the bunch is a hassle, especially at 5am. But with these feeders the cats have their own schedule and I only have to check that the bowl stays clean and the feeder stays full. 100% recommend. Just buy the D batteries in advance if you have power issues and be patient with programming it because it can "feel" complicated when it really isn't. Once you move beyond that part, the rest is beautiful.

[@jonathonE]

@@lauraramosdelgado I went ahead and ordered one, thank you for answering those questions! I can’t wait till it comes in and I can actually wake up by my alarm and not my cat 😂

[@nw1792]

Just received the 5L white granary feeder through Amazon. Noticed that the portion control fluctuates. Ran the feeder 20 times at the P-01 level. The amount I received fluctuates between 19 grams and 54 grams, because the feeder can’t dispense the same portion, I am thinking of returning it.

[@karenwilson9974]

Oooh thank you for this comment! My cat is on a food restriction diet atm due to some health issues we are monitoring. Fluctuating meal sizes would definitely be a big downside to this product.

[@jrm1542]

I'm impressed that PetLIbro has addressed at least one concern after each of your videos.

[@AllAboutCatsYT]

Me too. :)

[@anamaxa]

Thank you for your great content, Mallory. I also enjoy the vet and behaviorist content that All About Cats put out. I think this channel has improved the life of my cat.

[@willbates8464]

I feed my kittin wet food and mix in a small scoop of good quality dry food to help slow her down and to help her lose those baby teeth. But work hss been getting busy again for the season and I've been getting home later and later so I want to make sure she has something eat while I'm gone in the afternoon and at night before I can feed her her wet food. I just want something that's just going to do one task constantly and this seems to do the trick. And it's not going to break the bank or look awful. Thanks you've been a big help. 😂

[@Masterglitcher567]

I just discovered your Channel, just subscribed and shared to my girlfriend who loves these little guys

[@lydiapenuelaz2413]

Thank you Mallory. I got it for $52 today! Used your code.

[@AllAboutCatsYT]

Yay! Love to hear it. Hope you like it!

[@redtaperecorder1]

Aesthetically it's a very pretty machine - looks like a coffee maker! If I fed my cat dry food, I'd probably get it... ;)

[@kayla_luv]

Thank you for the coupon code! just bought the dual wifi feeder & saved 20 dollars!

[@dominiquedcosta]

The number of people stating they don't feed their cats dry food is too damn high lol. Thanks for letting us know I guess 😆😆

[@rideshiftdude9198]

Have not been able to travel because of my cats, I ordered the 5 litter. Wish it was battery powered only. Going to give it a try.

[@dragonslayer8724]

I purchased the previous gen feeder around a year ago based off of your review, looks like I'll be buying this one too.

[@anup5588]

Hey Malary, between the wifi and the camera version which one would you suggest considering the reliability and consistency? I can do without monitoring my cats on the camera but it’s good to have features, not a deal breaker.

[@alexjbriiones]

A big problem is preventing raccoons from dragging, resetting, or damaging the feeder if left outside on the deck area, i.e. if going on vacation and leaving the cat. I have to attach it to a heavy board with strong brackets and put strong masking tape over the dials to prevent raccoons from resetting the feeding times.

[@localchumb]

I love all your videos! Something I've always wanted to do fur muh babies, is to make them daily cat food. I figured it would be better for the environment and my budgeting. Do you think you'll ever touch up on this subject? You guys are great!

[@nancyoffenhiser4916]

Ginger Approved!! thank you for this video as I've been looking to buy one of these for our other cat who scarfs his food down and then vomits.

[@Gravity-Inverted]

I got this a few days ago. The first time it went off, it scared the crap out of both me and Happy.

[@nicholasng21]

We just got this feeder recently and over we like it. Just one thing, how do you delete recordings without wiping the entire settings

[@juliusignacio6134]

I got the feeder and it is really nice. Question though, after the 6th feeding session from the settings Is it going to repeat the feeding sessions that you setted before or I need to redo the settings again for each day?

[@DanielandYuka]

I’ve been kinda iffy about getting an auto feeder, due to ants here in PNG. Is the food in the Petlibro Granary reservoir sealed completely away from insects?

[@flaneur2190]

The top does have a locking lid so I'd guess so. I have the granary auto feeder and the lid does lock well and is protected from insects

[@AllAboutCatsYT]

Yes! It has a really good seal; I can't imagine insects being able to get in there.

[@bettyboop1524]

On their website it states "insect and poacher proof".

[@tramelparker2085]

Thanks I just got my feeder and fountain too :)

[@jean-christophecote9278]

I bought the wifi feeder. Honestly, huge mistake. The wifi is not stable at all and as I can see in the reviews on their website and on reddit, I'm not the only one saying this. Sometimes, less tech is better! Returned it and bought the standard feeder without wifi.

[@parrot340]

I had this Wi-Fi feeder for two months now, and today an automatic firmware update killed it. No way to feed the cat by using auto or manual, scheduled feeding task were gone. Now I need to figure out how to get support from this.

[@AllAboutCatsYT]

That's horrible.

[@66mskhan]

Please review the Omega Paw Roll N Clean Self Cleaning litter box.

[@trishhubermorris6209]

We just purchased the Petlibro Granary model. You did a fantastic job describing different aspects of its function; however, there is one confusing function that had me baffled and was finally resolved through the manual instructions (not the small start-up instructions)--the "manual feeding" section. After the clock and feeding times are set, press the settings button to indicate you are done programming. If you decide to give some kibble for a snack or an additional dispersement, you must first push the unlock button on the left to allow the manual feed button to work. Once the snack is dispersed, then press the lock settings button on the right for 3 seconds to activate your previously chosen feeding times. Your settings and portions will not be affected--they were saved. I don't believe you mentioned having to unlock the screen first nor that you could use the unlock button to scroll through chosen setting to check or change your portions. You seemed to say that you had to redo all settings to change just one. Thank you for all your help. These are the few things not addressed, and I thought this comment may help others wondering why the manual feed is not working.

[@tilde_t]

The Company doesn't deliver to Italy. I was gonna buy it 😭

[@loreen7385]

Why no mention of the integrated camera?

[@AllAboutCatsYT]

This is the older version that doesn't have that.

[@einarlieslangsvold8321]

Thanks for your reviews of the Petlibro Automatic Cat Feeders. I'm considering buying one of them for my cat. But I live in Europe and we have a different type of power plugs than the US. What kind of plugs is delivered with this cat feeder? And does anyone know if it's posssible to use it with a European plug? (Specifically Type C or Type F/Schuko)

[@AllAboutCatsYT]

It comes with a 5V DC adapter, so you should be able to plug the USB type A into any adapter that works with your outlets. Sorry it took me so long to reply!

[@Gamergirll662]

u should try the xtuoes automatic feeder!

[@oldtwitchdog5969]

What's the feed portion? It's 2 and a half tsp? It's around 12 mg right?

[@AllAboutCatsYT]

About 2.5 teaspoons, but it's a volumetric measurement, so the number of grams will depend on the type of kibble you're using.

[@DonnaLambert-ju7pq]

Can you run this only on batteries? We want to leave it outside while we are on vacation to feed hedgehogs, but we don’t have an outside plug

[@jamesmcguire8297]

Hi, can this be used with batteries only like the Petsafe Simply feed and do you think a raccoon could get its paw up to the food or any of the components?

[@javierlizarraga3838]

Isn't the diameter of the bowl too small? I have an exotic cat and it's the only concern I have

[@AllAboutCatsYT]

It's similar to a lot of other popular bowls but may be a smidge too small for some cats; any cat who seems to prefer wide, open bowls or even plates may be better off using something else.

[@masterEEE]

Does it jam like the older models?

[@AllAboutCatsYT]

Yes, you'll have the same issue with the chute getting backed up if you try to dispense a larger portion.

[@kellsback]

It works good for my two cats at the biggening. Problem with this feeder is that thousands of ants gets into the inside feeder then my cats unable to eat the food. It would be nice if there is Anti Ants futured.

[@1583RR]

Can 2 cats Share this feeder?

[@AllAboutCatsYT]

They could, provided that you don't care about controlling how much or what each cat eats.

[@Maristiger15]

Does this only work will smaller kibble? Mine has freeze dried raw pieces. Wondering if it would work with that?

[@AllAboutCatsYT]

Hi Marisa, yes, it works best with smaller kibble, but as long as those chunks are smaller than a typical piece of dog kibble (maybe 1 - 1.25 cm in diameter), they should fit.

[@flaneur2190]

Ken, I know. I purchased a new microphone in hopes of correcting the issue, but it seems that the problem lies in the camera or another stage of the video production process. I'm just grateful that people have stuck around in spite of the consistent audio issues. Working on it.

[@ilovegoodsax]

The audio quality depends on the device. No audio problem when I'm watching on my phone but the sound is low when I'm watching on my laptop.

[@CRCC830]

i feed my kitty ziwi peak - would this work with flat square type kibble? some automatic feeders over/under dispense portions depending on the feeder's mechanisms so I have been having difficulty finding a feeder that would work for my cat

[@CRCC830]

never mind - looks like the dispensing mechanism is top-down vs the PetSafe 24-cup automatic feeder which has a conveyor mechanism (which jams Ziwi Peak kibble). Placing an order and fingers crossed it works! my 5-portion automatic feeder has done well but washing the plastic tray every 4 days is not ideal... (my cat only eats dry food in the AM)

[@nothanks5394]

is it heavy?

[@katelynnsoard6870]

Does this work for large dog foods?

[@AllAboutCatsYT]

The Granary feeder works best with small-to-medium-sized kibble, so larger dog kibble won't generally fit.
