Amazing customer service
My feeder wouldn't recognise the cat and would only open for a second before closing on her snout!
Went through the troubleshooting guide with no luck and was sent a new feeder out within 2 days.
Superb can't praise them enough.
Well done guys.

Best purchase ever
I bought 3 and its definitely money well spent, my fur babies all get their own food to eat without stealing leftovers.

Sureflap give great customer service
I have had one of these for years and with 2 cats in and out it has worked hard. It is great that other cats can't get in, because our cats need to know they are safe from the local tomcat tearaway. Anyway if bits have worn over the years a quick look at sureflap website gives access to trouble shooting guides and videos. The customer support team get back to you really quickly and help sort it out. I would definitely buy one again.
I now have two!
So good keeping the kitten from eating the old guy's food - but as she grew a little and started with more adult food - had to get another to prevent him eating hers! great product - no more flies!! woohoo
Excellent product
I've had cats and flaps for over 30 years and this is the best quality product I've found. More expensive than a regular one but worth every penny. Very simple to set up and program and fits perfectly into the hole from my previous flap. All flaps make a noise as the door swings back into place, this makes an additional small clicking sound as the lock releases and is less draughty than many. The entrance is slightly smaller than average so may not suit very large cats but not a problem for me.

Broken cat flap
bought in jan stopped working in april, contacted zooplus only to be given a freephone number for sureflap,who then told me i had a faulty motor and they would send 1 in post for me to fit myself do you buy a washing machine from curry's then be expected to fit a new motor yourself i think not, anyway i did fit said part and it's working for now but will never buy anything like this from zooplus again as they should have taken responsibility for this as item as it was purchased from them.

OMG - best thing ever - no more wasted food & increased appetite
I thought I was going to have to send this back - took my dippy cat about 10 days to get used to it. Do take your time using the training mode - it really does pay off. Now he headbutts the flap out of the way to get to his food. Our cat is grazer rather than a scoffer. So his food dries out or the flies get it.Basically we bin around a third of his food. Not anymore, this seals it, keeps it moist and fresh and no flies can get to it. In fact, at last he is eating more food than ever.

Customer service excellent
I bought this cat flap 4 years ago and it was straightforward to fit and my cat uses it frequently. Recently the lock button fell out. I rang SureFlap to find out if I could get a replacement part and they took my address and posted it to me without any charge even though it was outside the guarantee period. It arrived two days later. I am most impressed.

Purrfect
These feeders are fab . My female cat would finish off her brothers food as well as her own . She’s now on a diet and can only eat her own food . Brilliant !

Great for big sized cats
We have a 9 kg old cat and he likes this flap. Easy use and really big.
Know your cat!
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.

Keeps flies at bay!
Excellent and economic way of keeping cat food free from flies as the lid seals so well. No issues with my cat getting used to it and no issues with food theft too -bonus!

Answer to our prayers!
In a multiple cat home, our 4 microchip feeders are perfect for our 6 large Maine Coons and 2 smaller breeds to have dietary their needs successfully met. All took very quickly to the sounds and movement (even a very timid one). Batteries last surprisingly long considering how often they are used by snacking cats. No trouble from flies whatsoever in warmer months as units seal food off. These feeders couldn't meet their needs any better; very cleverly designed with a lot of thought.

FANTASTIC
So pleased with this high quality product. easy to install biggest part being cutting the hole in the door. Programming was easy though my kitten was well behaved and took to it like a duck to water being offered dreamies!. She loves it and other cats dont get in l have seen them trying. Be great if they make a WIFI verion you can lock / unlock by using an App. 10/10 from me.

My Cats love SureFlap
I bought this SureFlap in the brown colour about 4-5 years ago and it is still going strong. I have found that using lithium batteries are the best, as they can stand colder conditions and keep their charge longer. Only had to replace silver stickers and these were free of charge from customer services at SureFlap. I recommend this item and most of my family have since bought item through Zooplus and seem very happy with it.

Perfect for Multi cat Households
I bought one to try it out and it's fab. I have 2 cats who are chipped to this feeder as one of my other cats has to watch his diet. I also have a small female who has a delicate stomach so I am just about to order another so she can have her special food without the others taking it from her. Brilliant product, highly recommended.

Excellent product
My husband and I were new to cat flaps, we didnt have one for our previous cat who tended to spend most of the day out then in for the evening. But this kitten is in and out at regular intervals so we looked into a cat flap to give him the freedom. Would highly recommend, a joiner fitted it in approximately 20 minutes to our rear door, best decision we made, it took a couple of days of patience in training him, coaxing with toys and treats as he was nervous at first of the clicking sound.
Brilliant
This is the second one of these I've purchased they are brilliant, stopped any uninvited guests coming in. So easy to install and programme. This is an excellent price too it's about £20 cheaper than when I bought one about 6 years ago.

Best cat product ever
With two rescue British Shorthairs, one of whom I've learned will eat her body-weight in food per day given a chance, well, unsurprisingly she's been putting on weight and her sister has been losing out. So I bought two of these and slowly introduced the door movement over some weeks and now it's the new normal for them, with each cat automatically going to her feeder. This means I can better portion control and can obviously tell which cat has eaten what. Expensive? Not at all. A godsend.

Thrilled with this cat flap
My cat is now safe, thanks to this cat flap, we had an uninvited cat guest, eating my cats food, sleeping over and weeing in my house through the night, this is now all resolved with this brilliant cat flap, great invention, I would agree with some that the opening is a little smaller than my last cat flap, it took a few attempts for her to use, but is now happy n safe, so pleased we changed ..

Revolutionary
Kibble stays dry, pâté always moist. No more flies buzzing around, no more stealing each other's food. Brilliant.

Handy little gadget
Works as described. All the cats got used to the feeders very quickly. All it took was to put their favourite pouch inside and let them sniff it. They knew it was there, they just had to figure out how to get to it. A couple of times they jumped when the lid opened, but their desire for their favourite pouch was stronger. There’s no smell of food at all in the flat. I already have 3 feeders for cats on different diets (one tomcat on urinary, another tomcat on no special diet, and two cats on gastrointestinal).

Cleaning, removal of side windows
Cleaning is a nightmare, there's mould and you can't remove the side windows either. I paid 170 CHF for it, and it's definitely not worth it.

Rubber seal broken
We bought the bowls in December, and now the rubber seals are broken—and I even cut myself while washing them. This is definitely not what we expected.

Works perfectly
I've had the feeders for 2 years now and they work perfectly! I accidentally dropped one on the floor and it broke, but that was my fault.
The batteries last a really long time, and the cats accepted the feeders straight away! Now my cat with the special diet can't steal the other cat's food anymore, and vice versa ;-) Best investment ever!

Brilliant, even after 8 years of use
I've had them for 8 years now and they're really brilliant! The only thing is that cleaning can be a bit tricky because of all the nooks and crannies, but once you get used to it, it's grand.

Missing the partition
I had to order new bowls because the old ones were really worn out over time (8 years), but the new bowls don’t have the divider like before, which is a real shame. The water from the wet food runs into the kibble and the kibble ends up looking awful. So my cat doesn’t want it anymore... I have to throw the food away, which really bothers me.

Food thief – NO MORE!
After I adopted a fairly young wildling (~1.5 years old) from the area, word apparently got around in the cat community that there’s a 5-star walk-in buffet at my place, and managing that overnight was pretty time-consuming and cost me a lot of sleep. The Surefeed worked brilliantly – the troublemakers are left standing in front of a locked flap, and the little rascal is much more relaxed now that he knows there’ll still be food later on.

Tears of joy from excitement
My senior likes to pace himself with his food. For the past few weeks, we've had a new rescue who inhales anything edible in seconds.
No chance Grandpa can leave his bowl for later anymore.
The automatic feeder was our hope…
It took less than 10 minutes for the senior to figure out how it works. Lid up – favourite treat – done. The feeder is super quiet and registering only took a few seconds.
I'm thrilled.

No chance
My three cats have been refusing to eat from the feeders for days now. The lids are still open so they can get used to them first... No idea why they're acting like this?! Really hope this changes soon.

Warning, it's a scam!!
Terrible product. While struggling to get my cat used to it, I realised that the mechanism didn’t close when the other cat arrived. Customer service suggested a reset, but it didn’t work. In the end, I never used it because it didn’t work, no refund, no help with exchanging the product. Over €100 down the drain.

Top-notch dispenser
I was worried that after so many years with a "normal" bowl, my dog wouldn't get the hang of the system—she's 11 years old, but she figured out how to use it straight away. No more flies landing on her food, great invention, we're both delighted with it 😊🐕

Good
I bought one litter box from you, looks great. And I have one litter box with a closed back. That's perfect, the other cat can't get in.

Perfect
My cat needed a bit of time to get used to it, but now she uses it perfectly. She has diet kibble. My other cat is greedy and can't eat the kibble anymore.

Very practical but not durable
After 2 or 3 years, the motor no longer has enough power to open the lid. As for the battery, the consumption is reasonable.
