This works perfectly! You can’t hear the ticking unless you put your ear right up to it, it keeps food cold for about 6 hours, and it opens pretty close to when I set it! You can’t expect these things to open right on time, that’s not the nature of these twisty timers. As for alerting your pets - we literally took thread, attached some bells we pulled off their cat toys, and taped them to the lid so they jingle as it opens and they come running! And the detachability?? So handy. This has been a life saver because dry food does not agree with our cats and so we have to be able to feed them wet food remotely while we’re at work. This has been totally perfect, thanks for a great product!

Our cat was used to waking us up at 4:00 am to be fed. No more! With Wopet, he sits vigil at the bathroom door from bedtime until the feeder opens around 5:00 and then contentedly waits for us to wake up. Not just for vacation!

Works great, my only complaint is that you can hear the timer ticking kinda loud. It drove me crazy at first trying to find the noise but it works perfectly so I don't mind. The price is great, the ice packs keep the food cool for a long time. I will be getting more!

Overall, this product is GREAT! It serves its purpose perfectly of being able to open at the time interval that you set, which is perfect for when we are out of town or not home in time to feed the cat.

I bought two feeders together, and one of them recently stopped working correctly. It becomes resistant when you try to turn the dial, and when you do set it, the time operates slowly so it ends up opening hours after you set it. I think it is just one faulty feeder since the other one I bought at the same time works great.

It does the job. Initially I gave it one star because when I was testing it, it wasn't opening. However, the company contacted me and said that you need to set the timer for more than two hours. FYI- if you are testing it like I did and only set the timer for one hour, it will look like it does not work.

Works great! I can��t always be home in time to feed my two cats. I set both sides of this when I leave in the morning & I don��t have to worry about feeding them at night. I use dry food so I don��t need the cold packs. The ticking timer is pretty quiet but you��ll hear it in a quiet (bed)room for sure.

I could not make this work consistently. Maybe I was doing something wrong. They were nice to take a return and give a refund. I got another one in its place with only ONE compartment. It seems to work according to design.

These are great. We use them daily. We feed the cats at night and set them up for the 5:00 feeding. Helps for us to sleep in some. They haven't bothered us since we got them. It's been a great buy.

I bought one of these to try with my cat when I had to be gone later than usual. It works just as described. It is a simple product but it does what it needs to do. I bought two more so each cat has their own.

Life saver! These cat feeders have allowed me to go out for long hours during the day or overnight somewhere knowing my cats are fed. Very reliable. Work perfectly.

These work perfectly and have helped so much with keeping our cats on schedule.

Takes 2 batteries. Much more reliable than the previous feeder I bought that uses 1 battery.

Great value, we are so happy with these feeders!

Works exactly as it should. Timer pops open as set.

Easy to use! Reliable! Solved my problem in making sure my dog with Irritable Bowel Disease is fed timely!

These are simple, yet do the job. My cat was meowing at us for food constantly, but now that he thinks the feeders are responsible for giving him food, he's been much quieter.

This works well, the ice pack only stays cold about 4-5 hours though. A more substantial pack would be better, but for the price, can't be beat!

They work as described I would just prefer a digital clock timer

Awesome. Can be hooked together or separate. Timer is actually 48 hours.

I love this feeder with the timers. Works perfectly when I'm away for a couple of days to keep my feline on schedule.

Life-savers! We use these to keep kitties on schedule...even when we want to sleep in!

Found it work well. Will order 2 more as gifts for friends. I wish there was on /off button instead of locked/unlocked. Thanks

Works well. Does as advertised.

very helpful! so glad I found these!

First time we used the feeders . Both cats adapted very well. Able to space out feedings to keep cats on their regular schedule.

It does exactly what it says it does at a great price, bought a 2nd set for longer trips away from home and they have worked every time

Inexpensive and easy to set up. I recommend them this product for a cat or small dog

WORKS GREAT! BEST SOLUTION TO MY TWO CATS EATING TIME AND ABLE TO SEPARATE EATING LOCATIONS.

Simple and it works! My cats love it too!

It does what it is suppose to do. Set it and forget it. It feeds two meals, or a snack and a meal, when I have to leave my cat for the day, and my cat Louie loves his "dinner machine". He gets all excited when I put it out. The timer is adjustable and reliable to the minute.

The first day he saw it he got a big tail, but once he could smell food in it, it became his best friend.

There are more expensive machines but basically they are all the same, timers and plastic, so this one is the best value. Each unit uses one AA battery and each timer is independent of the other. Simple to operate, and noise level is the same as a clock.

We are now able to feed the family cat smaller portions several times a day without being home. We use it everyday and the cat has not refunded us her food since. Why didn't I think of this before?

The pet feeders are fantastic! I am able to leave a bit of wet food for my kittens when I am away for the day. I used the tips from previous reviews to freeze small spoonfuls the night before. With the ice packs and the frozen dollops, I know the food is good for a while.

I like to take out the battery after each use to prevent the ticking. I put the battery covers away so that it is easy to pop a battery in or out. The bowls are easy to clean. Thanks!

My cat had a weekend alone and didn��t miss a meal with these food bowls

No problems, a little tricky to set timer but our cat is better about waking us up to be fed and hasn't figured out how to open it yet and the ice pack is great to keep the wet food fresh.

I love how simple this is , freeze the ice pack , put food in the compartment, and set the timer . could go longer but it meets the needs i have now . Battery powered products normally don't make the cut with me , but it really doesn't run battery down fast at all .

The product worked as expected and the timer was a bonus for feeding at a specific time. Takes animal a bit to get used to it but there are no issues when they do.

I always had to drive back during lunch timings to my house for my pet's food. And this feeder is really helping me a lot. Now I can set it to the time and it opens up of its own. Using it for more than 2 weeks and this is an awesome thing.

Timer is very basic, pretty much only variable by half hours, and it would be nice if it included a "ready" sound our ?? would become familiar with. But otherwise no complaints. A well-made product that performs as promised.

I have a cat with EPI that has to eat every 4 hours. I simply could not live without these. The ice packs keep his food cool and I get to sleep.

I highly recommend this automatic feeder. Very easy to use and works well with wet food!!!! My cat only eats wet food and this feeder works perfectly!!!!

Easy to use and clean! Great way to keep your cat on a feeding schedule when you are not home.

as advertised & as expected. easy to clean & use. the only bad thing I can say is the battery issue... one side seems to use up battery much faster than the other. I had to change battery after about 1.5 weeks of usage. I will update if the new battery works better.

These feeders are so convenient to provide my cats with treats, wet food or dry food while I'm gone. The portion size is perfect and they come with baby sized ice packs so you could keep wet food cold until serving time. I even started using the feeders for morning feeding so my cats don't wake me up early. These feeders make my life easier and make my cats super happy- because they're getting more food!

I hate leaving my cat alone even for a day, for fear that he'll run out of food. Thiss was the perfect solution. It provides two meals and I don't have to worry about leaving him alone anymore, or him eating too much food at once. Definitely a good product for cat lovers.

As everything in our house becomes automated we figured why not make cat feeding easier, cause its sooooo hard :) Anyway, this is the perfect way to keep our chubby old lady, Nermal, from eating herself into a coma. Now, I will suggest the first time you use it that you have your camera/video ready because if they react the way our fur baby did you will want to watch it over and over again! She has adjusted after about and week and has become friends with the food "monster" and has yet to figure out how to get into her dinner portion early. Winning!

No matter how I set these timers for our two cats, even if my husband does one of them at the same time, one of them always sticks and doesn't pop open on-time, or at all! Frustrating product, would not trust using this if you are going away for the weekend, but maybe if you were out for the day - not a long term solution for travel, etc.

I wish they held a bit more in each bin for a larger animal, but otherwise works great.

This is great for when going to be gone for a day. Set it to feed my cat. It has the right portion for a small or medium cat.

This item is awesome and my cat is happy again and not waking everyone up for food. Unfortunately I know have golden retriever puppy who will not let my cat eat in peach and stop stealing the cats food. So that resulted in someone has to get in the middle to feed her when she will eat. NOT Fun!! I set one time day to go off at 11PM and 5AM and opens with no problems. ****Should you have a problem here are some tips that found to help me out ****

THE PRODUCT IS NOT WORKING~I KNOW HOW TO PUT BATTERIES IN AND TURN A TIMER ~STILL NOT WORKING. I WILL GIVE A GOOD REVIEW WHEN I GET SOME KIND OF HELP~MONEY BACK OR AND EXCHANGE FOR NOW I SAY DO NOT BUY!!!!!!!!

I wish it would actually turn off and not just lock but works for giving my dog her meds when I am not home in the middle of the day

This is a great pet feeder. It's easy to clean, easy to use, and accommodates a good portion size for my cat. We use this to ensure the cat doesnt overeat, which used to happen when we left unlimited food out all the time in her regular bowl. Timer is battery operated and east to set up.

I go on weekend trips sometimes and needed a solution for my cat while I am gone. I do not like leaving a bunch of food out, as he has a more regimented feeding schedule so this is a great solution. I first tried it while I was home, in case it didn't work but it has been very reliable. I tried it out while out and both containers opened well and my cat was happy when I came back home. Really great purchase!

I really like the idea of this item. It was definitely self explanatory on how to use this item. For about $30, it does what it says. You can take this to the next level by allowing us to use our phone to set the timer. I wasn't too fond of the material. Expect very flimsy plastic. A medium sized dog can definitely open this before the timer ends. It's lightweight as well. So for a small pet, I would recommend this.

I got this for my cats because they eat too much. I work out of town so I need to leave their food bowls out. These timers will make sure they don't eat all day.

This product is such an amazing idea. And worked better than any other one I tried. BUT, it doesn't have any kind of a notification for the cat to know that it's open! No Bell, no voice. I figured once the timer reached the time, there would be some type of notification so that a cat in another room would get the memo. But there's nothing. It's such an easy fix and it's such an obvious thing to do. I've seen some cat feeders that have voice recorders so that you can call your cat to the food and record your voice doing it. I have two cats and what's happening is one cat is asleep when the other cat is awake and he winds up eating all the food. If there was some sort of bell notification or voice notification, this would not happen as both cats would be aware that they were open and go to their respected Bowl. It's just such a dumb thing to do. So for that reason I'm giving it three stars. Please update it and make it right!

This is a life saver. We use this when we need to go out of town for the day. We set it for how many hours it will be before it's dinner time. The dogs are happy & we don't have to worry about them being hungry/thirsty when we come home. I need to buy a few more sets.

it is Easy to use and clean. I like that allows to manage until 48 hours. it does not include the battery (it just need one AA). it contains a kinda ice pack (in case you use wet food).

Needed something so my 3 cats would stop hassling me at 5 am. This was the only feeder with decent reviews, could be programmed for multiple meals, prevent my cats from opening it, and do small enough portions. Took a couple of trials for the plate to use underneath, but instead of buying 3 individual feeders I put a dog food mat from pet smart underneath. All the cats are somewhat aggressive except one but they seemed to have figured it out so they all can eat.

I like that I can use this for wet food. I actually feed my cat both wet and dry food, this helps me keep her meals on schedule and the wet food can stay fresh even if I am away. These are nice looking and work well. They work well for wet and dry food.

Could be a bit smaller and feature a better timer, but otherwise, this is a nice option for when leaving town overnight without your furry friends. I like the idea of stacking multiple of these in a chain.

This auto feeder is perfect! My cat has diabetes and needs to eat at regular times (12 hours apart). I set it to open around 5:30am (matching up to her 5:30pm dinner), leaving me to sleep a tad longer. Buying a 2nd ice pack means one is ready each night. I use her own shallow bowls for wet food, as trays are large. My cat loves it and won't go to bed at night until she's seen me set it up.

I really appreciate this smart feeder. If you leave your cat alone for a weekend once in a while, you will like it too. It's better than a gravity feeder cause you can actually give your cat a normal size portion. It has worked great all the time that we used it. My cat scratched the plastic fairly quickly, but that has nothing to do with feeder's main function. The lids open just like they are supposed to at the designated times.

No issues with the cats being afraid of this feeder. Makes life easier in the morning

I LOVE the fact that it comes with a good quality ice pack! Only wish it had an "Off" & "On" button, so I have to remove the battery when not using. I feed wet food to my tiny 2lb. Yorkie and this is just what I needed for when I am gone during the day.

Love this! I have a boy kitty that needs to eat "lunch" and this allows me to not have to rush home to feed him, giving me more freedom in my schedule. It's easy to set the timer and the ice pack allows me to leave wet food out for him as well. It's quiet when it opens so it doesn't startle him. Glad to have found it.

Nice feeder, holds good portions since your only using this for a day or so. Nice for long days at work or a night getaway without the outdoor cat getting neglected. And I dont have to worry about our country living critters eating it before the cat can.

The first set of two I received, one did not work so I had to do an exchange. The exchange got here the next day so that was good. These are pretty basic devices. You crank the dial around for how many Hours from NOW you want it to open and as the time passes the notch in the dial moves closer and then over the peg keeping the lid down and at some point the peg isn't being held down anymore and the lid opens up via a spring.

I really like this feeder. Its super easy to use'Keeps wet food cold. I have only used for 12 hours but it works well and my cat hasn't been able to crack it. Durable.

Nice simple design that can be placed anywhere. Easy to set up and use. I like how I am now able to make sure my cats are not over eating, while we are gone. The compartments can easily be taken apart and used separately, if I choose choose to.

Okay....we have a fat cat and if allowed to he will eat all day. This is the perfect way to make sure he gets food during the day while no one is home. It is very easy to use and clean. Perfect for this cat mom

So I've been free feeding, my cat is on the bigger side so I decided to try this out. I want my cat to start being on a set schedule and this helps a lot. Easy to use and seems to be good quality. I like that it comes with ice packs to put under the feeder to keep things cold.

It's perfect for feeding my dogs while I'm at work so they don't over eat. It's super easy to use. I also like that you can separate the two and not use both when I don't need to. I'm not sure if it was supposed to come with an ice pack or not (it mentioned it in the instructions) but I didn't mind since I have no use for it since I don't leave wet food for my dogs.

Bought these for my mother in law who has a two cats that are over eating and putting a lot of weight on. The vet told her to not leave their food out. She's never home and needed a way to help limit their food. She says these have helped her so much! She is always telling me have I thanked you for those feeders. She said they are easy to work and easy to clean.

My kitty loves it. Nor scared at all. I know after working all day at hospital she is feeding right before I get home. Be sure to unlock it when you set your timer.

I got this for my sister, since she works alot. Works perfect. Easy to use. Love the little ice packs to keep the water cool, since we live where it can get Extra warm!

At first my cat was pretty scared of this new crazy thing that held her food, but I made sure to set it up for when I would be home with her to show her that it was ok. Since then it's been great. My kitty used to free feed and while she isnt't a chonk she isn't the healthiest weight either. This makes it easy to know that even if I'm going to be leaving the house early or coming back late, Kitty will still be getting her breakfast or dinner at the same time as always

These worked amazingly. I have been looking for a automatic cat feeder for years and finally found one that actually works! I'm getting two more!

This feeder is so awesome! I love that there are two included so I can use one for am and one for pm. We are trying to help help my cat lose weight and these feeders really help with that. I measure out his food before bed and set the timer for morning feeding and afternoon feeding. Since it locks shut it also helps keep my dog from eating the cat food too! Super easy to set the timer!

Clever design for makkng sure our furry friend is fed over the weekend if we can't be home! Ample space in the bowl for food and mechanism is very easy to set.

Super cool pet feeder! This comes with two containers and they can be separated. Also, there are 2 ice packs that fit underneath the food bowl if you need to keep pet food or water cold. My cat eats kibble so no need to cool. But my dogs like the cat food, which is why I purchased this. It protects the food from the dogs scarfing it down. The timer runs off batteries and you can set the timer for when you want it to open. Took some thought, but after reading the instructions very easy to set up!

I bought this for my cat for when I go on trips over the weekends. She's the kind of cat who eats a ton of food right when it hits the bowl, resulting in her usually throwing it all up minutes later. This is the perfect way for me to control when she gets her food while I'm away. I don't have to worry about her eating a weekend's worth of food in 10 minutes!
