Type of review

We received this last night and immediately got to testing it with soybeans, yes soybeans because they're easier to clean in case we had issues with it, since there are no reviews yet. The small beans never jammed because they were too small, but some did just roll out of the bowl as it was dispensed, but dry pet food shouldn't do this because they're not quite as round.The unit is sized perfectly for about at least two weeks of feeding according to my fiance who feeds her cat a 1/4 cup twice a

Pros
  • The feeder is easy to clean, making sure that your pet's eating area stays hygienic
Cons
  • The app requires frequent updates, potentially leading to compatibility issues

Great Product - Pairing Instructions

I have loved this product since the moment I’ve had it. So hope this review can help those who don’t know how to use it quite yet.Instructions:Pairing - make sure to have "local network” enabled on your device and it’ll immediately pair. See picture. I have an iPhone, so I’m not sure about Android settings.Portions - 10g per portion. A standard 8-11 lb. cat needs half a cup of food a day which is 64g. So you’ll need roughly 6-7 portions. I prefer to feed my cat 5 portions (amongst three…

Pros
  • You can schedule up to 4 meals a day at specific times, ensuring your pet is well-fed throughout the day
Cons
  • The app is not compatible with all smartphones and operating systems

Love this feeder! - my new review

I left my cat for the first time in 4 years. She normally travels everywhere with me but I was going out of town for 24hrs and didn’t feel like stressing her out for such a short time. This feeder was great because it tracked all her feedings. The portion size is great and I like the battery power feature.

Pros
  • The HBN Automatic Cat Feeder with HD 1080P Camera can prevent boredom for your pets, with its automatically dispensed meals
Cons
  • The camera quality often lags, making it difficult to monitor your pet in real-time

It’s for small animals

Overall it’s a great product , super easy to install and use. The only reason I gave it a 4 star is because the portions it dispenses are so small you have to ensure to click a few times for it to drop enough food for medium to large size dogs.But overall it’s great ! I love it allows for a recorded message and plays everyone it drops food .

Pros
  • Designed to keep food fresh and dry, the automatic dispenser keeps your pet's food in great condition
Cons
  • The device does not offer any warranty, putting the consumer at risk in case it malfunctions

Setting size portion difficulties

Because of previous reviews I persevered and did get feeder connected to my iPhone, but setting portions for one cat with finicky stomach has been difficult. Directions are in tiny print and when setting schedule the feed number was confusing. Did it mean the first, second, third feeding of day with corresponding time or as I finally have decided, it may mean how many pets are being fed. But I can't imagine using that size feeder for 12 animals. My hope was to set a two tablespoon portion but…

Pros
  • The modern and sleek design of the feeder will fit in with any home decor
Cons
  • The device is not able to accept different types of kibble, limiting its use

Good way to check in on your pet while you're away

Purchased for a week long trip to make feeding easier on the pet sitters. The camera is higher up, so don't expect to see what is left in the bowl. App is easy to use for the most part. Notifications alert you when scheduled feeding is dispensed, you can check if your pet is eating. Camera is good quality.

Pros
  • Capacity of 6L: HBN automatic pet feeder can hold up to as much as 6L of dry pet food, keeping it fresh in sealed food storage bucket. A lock mechanism that keeps your pet from stealing food, and a food tray made from PC material that is safe for humans and animals.
Cons
  • The device is quite large, taking up a lot of space in your home

I really wanted to like this Wi-Fi pet feeder. Everything works great but it will not connect to Alexa. Alexa does not see it as a new device. I tried the HBN app and the smart life app to no avail. The description specifically states it connects with Alexa. That is NOT a true statement.Customer service was very responsive and timely. They sent a new unit which also did not connect.Although I was very disappointed it did not connect to Alexa, this is a good product and the device works well…

Pros
  • This feeder is an excellent investment for pets with medical conditions that require frequent or controlled feeding
Cons
  • The device is quite complicated, making it difficult for some pet owners to operate effectively

Inaccurate portions

My cats are getting 3x the amount I programmed in, so that's frustrating for sure. I don't know how to fix it, and can't change it because it's already programmed at 1 serving. If that wasn't an issue this would be perfect.

Pros
  • Right Portion On Time: Always feed your pet the right portion size for their optimal health. Timer and portion programming are set to help pets develop healthy eating habits to prevent overeating or a missed feeding.
Cons
  • It does not have a backup power supply, so if there is a power outage, the feeder will not work

Alexa Support!, giving it a 2nd try! Keep posted!

I ordered because the voice and Alexa support but it very limited function for Alexa to control. Customer Support is really proactive to make every customer happy, sending me a new one to evaluate, so like I tell my friends don’t give up on a product until you see how the support is, I have to say their support is at least 4-4.5 star. Keep posted on the Alexa support, review is improving thanks to support team.

Pros
  • This pet feeder is perfect for those with busy lifestyles, as it helps to keep their pet's feeding routine consistent
Cons
  • The device is quite bulky, making it difficult to install in smaller homes or apartments

Good but down by technology and poor instructions

Set it up and it will dispense food as scheduled. But setting it up will require some experimentation and guesswork. It needs an app that is generalized for all of the products HBN sells. Yes, it has a camera. A floor level camera so you can see your pets chowing down while you are at work. You can even take a picture or a video for whatever reason. It also has a speaker and microphone so you can hear the crunch of every bite and talk to your pet while they are trying to eat. Since it has a…

Pros
  • The HBN Automatic Cat Feeder can save pet owners time and hassle, as they no longer need to manually feed their pet
Cons
  • The device requires a lot of maintenance, potentially adding to the cost over time

Love the camera: my feedback

I got one of these a few months ago based on the reviews I'd seen. They were spot on in terms of having the camera. It's ideal to see which of your pets is eating.My only issue is with this second one I just bought. It keeps shutting off the schedule and I keep having to turn it back on. I have 2 of these and one works great and the other keeps shutting off the schedule.If that schedule issue didn't happen it would be 5 stars.

Pros
  • App/Cloud Control: With this smart food dispenser you can program exactly at what time a certain amount of food is given (in portions of approximately 10 grams). You can manually feed your pets remotely with the app on your smartphone. Your cat or dog will always be fed on time, even when you come home late. No need to ask your neighbors to feed your pets when you are away for the weekend.
Cons
  • The camera angle is quite limited, making it difficult to see larger pets

Easy to use on my review.

The packet of dehumidifier was not included but that's a minor issue. Otherwise the device is great, no problems setting it up and the app provides enough features to make feeding time successful. One issue with the app is it does not seem to allow for deleting any feeding time once it's set. Just annoying but not a game stopper. My cat waits for the food sometimes!

Pros
  • Wi-Fi enabled app control allows you to manage your HBN Automatic Cat Feeder from anywhere
Cons
  • The device is quite heavy, making it difficult to move around your home

0 if I could. in my review

Where do I even start. Don’t buy this. I just spend 40 minutes setting this up. Downloading an app. Making an account. Filling the feeder and first thing it does? Jam. I measured my dogs food. Waaay below that 10mm. Still a jam.

Pros
  • Can hold up to 6L of dog food, making it perfect for larger breeds or multiple pets
Cons
  • The app does not offer notifications when the food runs low, potentially leaving your pet without food

Cat feeder: my feedback

Omgosh, I love this cat feeder so much it makes feeding multiple cats a lot easier! We were out of town and we’re able to look at the camera and call our cats to eat. They actually came when we called and we were so happy! Would recommend.

Pros
  • The HBN Automatic Cat Feeder is easy to set up and use, no complicated processes required
Cons
  • The device requires frequent calibration, which can be a hassle for some pet owners

Amazing product in my review

The product was good, it looks pretty to me. The food was automatically and that save me a lot of time. Also the quality was good.

Pros
  • Great for pet owners with multiple pets, as each pet can have their own customized feeding schedule
Cons
  • The device is quite heavy, making it difficult to ship if it needs to be returned

Pros
  • Provides a convenient way to feed cats and dogs automatically
Cons
  • The device requires frequent cleaning, which can be a hassle for busy pet owners

We love 1, the 2nd one keeps jamming

We have two dogs, one feeder is great-one feeder non stop jams leaving one dog hungry! We really wish they both worked like the one that doesn’t jam bc it’s really great. Bummer that one is not working with the timers, but will feed with manual feed!

Pros
  • Automatic Feeders
Cons
  • The camera quality is not as sharp as expected, compromising its ability to monitor your pet
