This was a very easy setup. Downloaded the app, the update (definitely do that if you want the "feed now" option!), paired the feeder, and it immediately started to cool down. The interface is simple, showing 3 feeding spots, and allowing you to set a day/time for each. I trained my kitty to get used to it (and the dinner bell chime) by putting some Churu in the front dish, closing the lid, showing her the feeder while pressing the "feed now" button. She'd watch it open, hear the bell, and lick up all the Churu. Once she was done, I clicked "end meal" closing the door. I opened the lid and put more Churu in the dish, and repeated the above 3 more times... each time with the door opening, the dinner bell, and her getting the Churu. By the last time, she came running from the hallway when hearing the bell. Pavlov would be thrilled. The refrigeration section gets nice and cold, so I feel safe leaving her wet food in here without spoiling. I also love that it rotates to an unrefrigerated area 30min before feeding time, because she really doesn't like cold food. My cat is also a grazer, eating a bit now, and the rest over the next couple hours, so I additionally appreciate that I can keep the door open for several hours, to make sure she gets it all. To complete our full cat-sitter setup, we placed a TMEZON 2-way video cam on a shelf over the feeder so I can confirm that she's eaten. I especially like this setup over typical pet cams because we can also appear on the camera screen and talk to her at feeding time, so it's like we're there feeding her as usual! Big picture: This feeder plus the camera cost the equivalent of 3 days of visits from a pet sitter. While it's more of an investment upfront, now we have the freedom to take an overnight anytime we want with the peace of mind of knowing her food is fresh, available, and confirming that she's fine. Worth every penny.

First I connected device I couldn’t make it feed now but updating firmware solved it. My cat is still little scared of the new device but I think he will get used to it soon. Setting up is easy enough and quality looks good. It makes a little fan noise because of the cooling system but it is nothing too loud. One down side is it uses a plastic tray. I would like it to be stainless steel or porcelain. I hope they make an option for the tray.

After 72 hours there was condensation all over the plate and inside. My cats didn’t eat any of the 3 meals- the texture turned to solidified slime. The one bite my cat ate was thrown up.

Love these PetLibro Mats! Obviously, they protect the flooring and catch spills but also catch the food crumbs from messy eaters and I carefully picked it up just like the video shows.. and was pleasantly surprised at how well they do their job! There are many options out there, and I have gone through several different types but this one is everything! They are just the right thickness, catch crumbs and water perfectly and the price point is in line with others available out there. I honestly didn’t think the larger option was going to accommodate my double feeder, but as you can see it works great! If your still debating.. Get off the fence and get them!

I rated this product four stars because it is quite expensive for its purpose. I only purchased it to match my feeder and fountain brand. It does keep the carpet clean, but I don't think that justifies the high price. I cannot comment on its durability yet, as I have only had it for three months. However, it is still in one piece at the time of writing this review.

Very nice mat for food bowl and water fountain. Great quality and easy to clean.

The plug is really hot and for something that is supposed to be plugged in all day a bit nervous about a fire. So going to have to return. The actual product outside of that is great. I wish they had features like closing the lid when your cat walks away -> great for freshness + avoiding other pets from stealing the food. But for now will hope they create a bit safer of a product and excited for their next version/updated one.

Great product! Our puppy makes a mess and this helps keep it somewhat under control.

I was really hoping this would work since it seems to be the only refrigerated automatic feeder on the market. Unfortunately the app's feeding schedule is still fairly rigid, even with the past updates, and I find myself having to go back into the app to adjust (which defeats the purpose of automation). It even missed a feeding somehow - I slept in and saw that my cat was never fed her breakfast, which led me to not trusting the product and constantly checking if my cat was fed or not. The final straw for me was when I touched the power adapter and it was HOT to the touch, even to the point of burning me if I touched it for too long. Tried other outlets and it would get hot within 30 minutes still. Beautiful product and runs fairly quietly, I like the feature of having the food cool down before feeding (it never reached room temperature though). With some improvements this could be really great, disappointing. Returning this and getting one of the ice pack feeders until there are better alternatives.

My kitties are constantly splashing water all over the floor and I'm regularly having to wipe up a mess but most importantly I have to worry about damage to the floor. This mat solves the problem. I bought the larger size and I have had them completely turn over the water dish and it stayed within the mat. So I am happy with my purchase. The only downside I would say is if any grains of dirt get under it at all the entire mat slides. Other than that I love it.
