Futterautomat 400 ml
Over time, all devices become faulty
I bought four machines in January 2022 and now I’m already up to over 10 replacement units. All the machines showed different errors, always related to opening the lid. The devices then switch to other modes, like training or adding a pet. Sometimes I have to press the button 10 times just to get the lid to open. When the other modes are active, the scale doesn’t weigh the new portion, another cat gets added unintentionally, or the training mode is turned on.

Excellent
When you have cats with different diets, this bowl is brilliant and makes your life so much easier!

Terrible experience
Bought to feed a cat on a special diet. The machine never closed when the other cat arrived; I complained and asked to exchange the product, but that's not possible according to the company's policy. Very poor value for money.

Tillbehör: 2 st SureFeed Slow-Feeding utbytesskålar, 375 ml, gröna
Too cramped for the cat to eat from
The big obstacles in the bowl are too large, the cat can't even try to eat directly so it all just ends up with her using her paws to get the food out. Doesn't feel like that's the intention.
Also, the bowl is light in weight and with just a bit of food, the cat sometimes grabs the rubber strip and then the whole bowl moves out of place.
Another problem is that the cat opens the SureFeed machine, but when she backs away and uses her paws instead, the SureFeed closes because the ID chip gets too far from the sensor in the SureFeed.

After 2 years, they gave out on me
I bought 3 of them. After 2 years, all 3 broke on me... €240 down the drain. And the warranty, well, doesn't work... because I didn't know you have to register with Petscare using the number on the box.

Excellent
Having three cats, two of which need special medical diets, I invested in these feeders and I'm delighted. Each cat has their own feeder and their own food, no competition, no stealing (although technically it's possible from the back). It's quiet, my cats quickly got the hang of it thanks to the training mode, and it's easy to clean. The app lets you track their meals and set portions. In short, this thing is brilliant.

money down the drain
For this price, I really expected it to have a rechargeable battery, but instead you still have to use batteries, and a size that no one ever has at home. The part that hangs over the tray, in my opinion, hangs very low. My cat doesn't dare go under it, even after weeks of trying. Really a shame for such an expensive tray.

Amazing
Very satisfied.
I have two cats that need special kibble, so this is ideal, but now I notice that sometimes it gets stuck.
I've had it for 5 years now.

Money down the drain, unfortunately
For this price, I really expected it to have a rechargeable battery, but instead it runs on batteries—and not even a standard size, but one that hardly anyone has at home and is only sold in DIY stores.
I also find it really disappointing that the chip section can't be adjusted in height. It hangs very low, so the cats have to really crouch down to reach the food. Unfortunately, mine just won't do that, even after weeks of trying.
Such a shame :/

Don't even think about buying this feeder
Fails within a year or less. Sure will only replace it once, even if it breaks again after a few months. Look for another brand. It's a rip-off.

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.

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.

Doesn't close quickly enough. Completely pointless.
Hi
I have two cats. One of them has an older version of this feeder and it works perfectly. It closes quickly when she leaves. The new one I bought for my other cat, who needs veterinary food, takes much longer to close (even on the fastest setting!)
It takes more than 5 seconds before it even starts to close! The first cat figured out on day one that if she queues up, she can eat the rest of the food, which is basically all of it. So the new feeder is completely pointless.

The wet food stays fresh all day
I've been using this feeding bowl for years now. Very satisfied. I work during the day and my cat eats small amounts throughout. The food doesn't dry out in this bowl, flies can't get to it, and I don't have any issues with the smell coming from the food. The bowl runs on batteries, but I only need to replace them at most twice a year. There's an indicator that lets you know when the batteries need changing. Installation is easy.

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 😊🐕

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.

I've been using these types of containers for years, so I think the low rating is really undeserved
I've been using feeding bowls from this brand for over a decade now and never had a problem unless it was caused by the user themselves (connection issues due to electromagnetic interference, metal, etc.). I use rechargeable lithium batteries without any issues (definitely give it a try!). Each bowl has been replaced at least once in that time, but isn't that the case with any electronics (motors)? At the moment, I have three very large Maine Coons who have no trouble accessing them.

Could Be Improved
The idea is really good, the system works, but the bowl is very uncomfortable for them—they can't eat the food from the edges. Plus, you have to buy a back cover if you have more cats.
On the other hand, you should be able to set up all the options from the app; there are things that only customer service can set for you, and the app itself could be better too.

More than delighted
I’m delighted, despite the investment. I was lucky enough to buy them while they were on sale.
I have two cats, one of whom has serious digestive issues and, of course, the other cat’s food bowl always seemed tastier... It was a constant struggle to keep an eye on them, which was becoming impossible. So I bought two bowls and it’s brilliant. The bowls work with each cat’s own microchip and there’s no more hassle.
