PetSafeHealthy Pet Simply Feed Automatic Pet Feeder with Power Adapter

Ok..2 years later update.. Mine has been on a cord w batteries for backup for 2 years!.. Ive never changed batteries yet..Its Never missed a meal!Its easier than me fillin bowl and keeps a smaller fresher amt!Ive changed settings over time no probNow in last month we lost 2 kitties so now crazy kitty is alone upstairsAnd my moms 2 ladies still have their own apt downstairs ( psycho doesntLike anyone she wasnt raised with.. And shes a fattie so now that we dont have a kd cat i can again downsize her portions and hopefully downsize her!I just bought the ladies one.. Now its 99 not 140 so im very pleased!I again primed it and it worked perfectly on first meal..My fav thing other than convenience is thatIts sturdy.. It handles mixed textures ( bnb have a blend of 3.. All diff shape n size)..you can purchase a cord or use batteries.. Its portable.. And you can do tiny portions up to 12 times ( i like 4-5 small meals best!..Its not very loud.. No one has tipped it though i have it up against something..Very happy.. Ordered on prime..here in one day Yay!😸😸😸😸😸😸😸😸😸😸😸😸😸😸😸😸Update 5 monthsStill love it.. and thats sayin somethin cuz our male cat is in kidney failure and lost weight so because of that we have to keep a bowl full all the time ( and for a cat that doesnt want to eat his bowl hasta b full cuz he doesnt wanna chase an eigth of a cup around wich is great for the fatties!) so it makess the timed thing kinda pointless but prior it did help them all lose weight!It dispenses exactly the right amt every time, on time and although he has an endlessly filled bowl nearby the ladies like the tall bowl i set up with this and since it holds so much i can forget about it and just make sure his is full.. So now that i dont really have a reason to have a timed feeder, am i sorry i got it? Nope, its still a nice way to store and dispence the majority of food.. We keep b buf aging/ reg in it and just aging in the boys bowl.. hadta take urinary out cuz it is too acidic for a kd cat This unit worked great with big fat kidney food as well as tiny bbResetting was Easy.. id hilighted steps that matter Its a lot of up or down and right like settin an alarm clock When i got to meals i only had to scroll thru till amt cuz i kept same times... and the blank meals i just scrolled thru leaving unchangedThen hit enter button 5 seconds and good to go!Its really much easier than i expected from reviews!Cats seem fine with less food since its not really empty and theres multiple feed times..I will update again : )-------------------------------Negatives*Price!!*A little daunting to program at first but read directions then go back through and should be fine( i highlighted key parts so next time i can go through faster)* if someone barrels into it at high speed its possible it could tip ( id suggest next to a cabinet or something if your worried about that)* it is annoying it doesnt have a reset and that you have to take batteries out to do that..😓😓😓IM AN IDIOT AND SOOO BELIEVED THIS BECAUSE ID READ IT SO MANY TIMES IN REVIEWS, THAT I FAILED TO READ ALLLL THE INSTRUCTIONS.. SO FOR 2 YEARS IVE BEEN USING MY PATENTED COUNTERTOP TRICK TO KEEP UPRIGHT AND POP OUT BATTERIES TO MAKE CHANGES WHEN IT TELLS YOU RIGHT THERE IN BLACK N WHITE HOW TO RESET..UGGGHHHH.. SO ITS TOTALLY EASY TO CHANGE TIME AND FEEDINGS!!------------------------------Positives!* although directions seemed confusing i followed them and it was fine ( wasnt sure if i could skip setting the remaining 9 meals so i just followed directions.. left them all as 12 am default and with no amt selected and its fine)* it works as promised*it allows me to keep a small amount of food in bowl so no one freaks out that its empty*its fun to watch their faces when it dispenses---------------------------why i chose it..* cat with uti prob ( i did get an antibiotic in case, not that im a fan of them but it was my one chance with this wild beast and we couldnt afford ( and she wouldnt allow)extraction /cultures .. so we xrayed to be sure no blocks.. gave antibiotic shot that lasts 2-3 weeks ( no pills yay) and because we saw faint grit in bladder are pretty sure has some crystals so instead of splitting a small can once a day and a whole bowl of kibble around.. they now split 2 large cans twice a day and i purchased this to keep her from gorging or from freaking at a empty bowl.. I also used uromaxx here on amazon wich i highly recommend.. although the vet wasnt familiar with it we went over ingredients and decided that it should be able to acidify her urine like the rx food would ( a better option for me because 1- she likes it in wet food and 2- its not recommended for the other cats to be on that food unless they too have crystals 3- at under 30 a bottle, more economical)* i chose this one because after reaing thousands of reviews i liked that it proportionately had the least negative / i can do up to 12- 1/8 cup feedings / it holds a good amt / it has a power cord available to purchase and battery backup / its black so it goes with the decor of kitchen----------------------------some things ive noticed..* with 3 cats sharing the canned food.. my setting of 3/8 3 times a day is a little more than i need Since they get canned twice-----------------------------final thoughtsYOU HAVE TO FOLLOW DIRECTION TO PRIME IT . . I hit the buttons they said till i heard it run then i decided since it didnt run very long that it might take 2 days of cycles to work but to my surprise it worked very first timed feed!YOU HAVE TO MAKE SURE TO REALLY FOLLOW DIRECTIONS AND DONT SELECT default dog or cat!*it wont do slow on 1/8 setting since each cup in conveyer is an eigth ( though ive noticed they dont really run n gobble since theres always food in bowl and they eat canned)* MY PERSONAL FAVE IS THE NITPICKY COMPLAINTS about holding a meal or getting next meal soonerIT TAKES 2 SECONDS TO OPEN THE TOP SO YOU CAN GRAB A HANDFUL OUT.. OR DUMP EXCESS FOOD BACK IN !! ( in fact since i chose an amount thats too high ive been dumping some back in till i get it how i want it-------------------------------i currently use blue buffalo chicken rice although i am starting to mix in science diet active after having a tech tell me that they have several bb users with crystals wich bummed me out.. i may go to a blend of that and a uti preventative food ( i could be wrong but i think the way it works is the rx food dissolves crystals and isnt to be used in cats who dont have the problem but the non rx ut formulas may slowly dissolve but at least dont cause them.. i think this could be ok but since im not sure im thinking a mix of science diet and some uti preventative might work for all.. I DID READ THAT YOU SHOULDNT REALLY USE AN ACIDIFYER WITH RX CUZ IT MIGHT BE TOO MUCH ACIDIFICATION but i did see in reviews that many were able to use it with the otc ut maintenance or reg foods instead of rx.. I talked a long time with the company that makes uromaxx and im now thinking if i had dosed her higher right away i might have avoided all the vet madness but 1- i was worried shed detect too much of it in the food 2- i though she was 11 lb but shes 16! So if i had it to do over i would give her 2 ml a day wheras i was barely using 1 ( up to 10 lb is 1.. 10-15 is 1.5 .. over 16 is 2.5 .. so the guy i talked to said to give her 2. And my go to to be sure she gets it all is tuna juice ( people kind).. so while not good to give all the time i would give her that at least 5 days straight to be sure she was dosed.. right now since shes been ok i do that about every third day.. and in between if she doesnt finish all her canned food in am i bump her next meal dose a little to compensate..* i will always use canned food and in bigger amts ( the dry is low in moisture and all the plant material in it creates alkaline urine wich promotes crystals)* ill always add in a few drops of water to canned to add extra moisture* ill ALWAYS KEEP UROMAXX AND SOME TUNA on hand* most cats dont like water near food.. we put bowls all over house.. they also like something plastic floating in it so they can judge depth* stress ( in our case a relative passed and we made a downstairs apt for his cats) can actually cause cystitis in high strung cats and can help form crystals!.. so feliway ( also on amazon) helps a lot.. they make a diffuser but i like to spray it on multiple clothy surfaces like right now our tablecloth and i hang a towel on basement door.. ive used it off n on for years.. i think my mistake was thinking she was handling it ok and waiting to use it ( btw dont use near food water or litter)SO RIGHT NOW IM VERY PLEASED WITH MY PURCHASE AND HOPING IT LASTS A LONG TIME AND I THINK WHEN WE GO AWAY I MAY BUY A SECOND ONE SO IF SOMETHING BIZARRE HAPPENED THE OTHER WOULD BE OK ( we do have people check on m every few days too)I will definitely update!!

Nobody paid me and nobody gave me a discount for this review.I have done extensive reading about this feeder (publicity and customer reviews) before getting it on Amazon.Prior to getting it, I had had a hard time choosing between the PetSafe Feeder and the Pet Feedster. Because the latter offered more options, I went for that one first. But I had to return it because it was defective and I was disappointed with the general feeling of fragility of the feeder. So I would not replace the defective one by another one of the same brand. (see my review of the product).I was pleasantly surprised with the Petsafe feeder that I ordered after returning the Pet Feedster. I expected it to be a second best. But, I am very happy with it. It is more robust, easier to clean, the buttons respond well and all the options - including the quantity of food delivered (exact amount) - work like a charm.Some reviews mention that the instructions are complex and that it is necessary to keep the book at hand at all time.I disagree.This is NOT a PLUG and PLAY feeder (same was true of the Pet Feedster and probably for most other automatic feeders on the market). It is necessary to take the time to read and follow the instructions in order to set it up right, but it is well worth your time and effort.But the instructions are CLEAR, WELL ILLUSTRATED and EASY TO FOLLOW and everything happens/works as the book says it will.There are 3 kinds of scheduling, “dog” “cat” and “user”.The two first ones are preprogrammed and can be set very quickly. So if your dog of cat has no special need or if you are in a hurry, you can be done more quickly using one of those two settings. But the “user” scheduling is the real gem. It offers the most versatility (love it!).The "user" setting is EASY and QUICK. There is really no big deal here even if it is your first time at this kind of thing. And YOU WON'T GET STUCK because any mistake can be corrected. Take a moment to read how it can be done. It's just a few steps. And you can do it quickly, It works really well. The feeding quantities can be from 1/8 of a cup to 4 cups - and they will be served EXACTLY (I measured)Very straight forward. The buttons have a good and sure feeling to them.CAREFUL, there's ONE STEP that is EASY to FORGET because you may think you are done AFTER adding the FOOD in the hopper. It only takes seconds for the machine to do, but YOU must push the buttons to make it happen. It is "PREPARE the CONVEYOR with FOOD." That step is the only one I find easy to miss because it is a little counter intuitive. That step is in the sequence of instructions but COULD BE MISSED.I have set up my PetSafe without problems and quickly. I did not need to contact consumer support for help because everything is clear and up to date in the guide.I would strongly suggest reading STEP ONE completely (cleaning & assembling) and STEP TWO (Initial Setup) all the way to “Operating mode” BEFORE starting to set up the machine - the second part of Step Two (starting with “Operating Mode”) can be read after the set up..ALSO, The conveyor must be washed and air dry before first use (HAND washed) it does NOT go in the dishwasher plus NO HOT WATER. Also it must air dry completely before assembling. I used a few paper towels (do NOT use tissues, they will leave paper dust) and let it air dry in the suggested position in the guide.The other “washable parts” can go in the upper part of a dishwasher. Also need to air dry before assembling.N.B. The control panel and the base unit cannot be immersed/submerged in waterSome people have said it was difficult to modify the programming. I have to disagree. I have modified the time & quantity being fed to my cat several times already and it is incredibly EASY to do! Just you read about it once, you will see.As for keeping the book handy, all you really need, once the initial setting is done, is to have that QUICK GUIDE sheet at hand.That sheet comes as a stand alone sheet in addition to the manual. One side features the ICON QUICK GUIDE (you don’t really need that side): the back reads “5-BUTTON NAVIGATION QUICK GUIDE”. That’s the side you need.It’s a quick reference to the 7 basic functions: Read/change time, Temporary suspend meals, Enter or exit slow feed mode, Get an immediate feed, Make changes to the schedule (programming), Unlock the navigation buttons, Prepares the conveyor with food.I have laminated my quick guide and posted it at eye level above the feeder.LOVE this feeder!As for the guide, I WON'T DISCARD itI will refer to it when CLEAN the machine - there are a few steps for maintenance that are different from the initial cleaning - (pausing the machine, cleaning the "crumb basket" of the conveyor and cleaning the conveyor belt, and I want to be sure to do the sequence right)

Macchina pratica e comoda e con il sistema a nastro trasportatore delle crocchette non si è mai bloccata.Piccolo appunto anche a me ogni mese il timer sballa di 1 minuto. Ed aggiungerei che se avessero messo compreso nel prezzo l'alimentatore sarebbe stato un bel gesto, comprarlo a parte originale è costoso per essere un banale trasformatore.Comunque ottimo prodotto che mi garantisce piena autonomia. Ottimo marchio di cui ho anche la gattaiola automatica.

De momento es la mejor tolva automática que he tenido. Los plásticos son de buena calidad y el plato és de acero inoxidable. Muy fácil de programar. Se pueden dispensar hasta 12 comidas al día. Muy útil cuando tienes muchos gatos como yo. Se pueden desmontar todos los componentes para lavarlos. Y lo más importante: EL PIENSO NO SE ATASCA NUNCA! El único pero que le pondría es que el aro que sujeta el plato es un poco endeble

+ einwandfreie und zuverlässige Funktion+ Netz oder Batteriebetrieb möglich+ großes Fassungsvermögen (1 Katze 2-4 Wochen)- kein Netzadapter im LieferumfangEs gibt tatsächlilch keine vergleichbare Maschine die sowohl das Futter so sicher aufbewahrt und (vor allem) ausgibt und dann auch noch wahlweise mit Netzstecker betrieben werden kann. Leider ist der Adapter trotz des hohen Preises nicht dabei.Ich habe dafür einen 9V (statt 10V) Universal-Adapter genommen und das klappt prima. Passen tut auch der:https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B0083PAXC4/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_23?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A10M4JKGH5TIABNicht von dem in einer anderen Rezension hier geposteten Video erschrecken lassen:Der Kater kommt lediglich an ein paar Stücke die noch nicht runtergefallen sind und keinesfalls an den Vorrat der bei dieser Maschine wirklich gut gesichert ist. Die Menge die er mit der Pfote evtl. erwischt ist sehr begrenzt und kommt bei der nächsten Mahlzeit dafür weniger raus. :-)Es wird ein Gummi-Förderbad verwendet wobei eine Mulde des Förderbandes einer Portion entspricht.Natürlich kann die Portionsanzahl eingestellt werden. (Stufung der Menge daher etwas grob aber i.O.) Dieses Förderband macht ein Erreichen des Vorrates mit der Pfote wirklich unmöglich.Die vier megafetten D-Batterien (bei den meisten Geräten müssen solche verwendet werden) habe ich mir zur Sicherheit auch geleistet denn wenn der Netzstecker abgezogen wird geht die Maschine sofort in den Batteriebetrieb (und umgekehrt). Super bei Stromausfall.Auch eine Funktion die man ansonsten vergeblich sucht.Das Geräusch beim Runterfallen des Futters, das hier schon bemängelt worden ist, ist doch echt sowas von egal - da hört die Katze wenigstens von weitem wann es Mampfe gibt. (bei uns von Vorteil da das Gerät im Carport steht)Ich kann es wirklich voll empfehlen und hätte schweren Herzens einen Stern abziehen müssen weil das Ding so teuer ist - den Stern gibt es aber wieder drauf weil es echt das einzige Gerät ist, das es schafft so einwandfrei zu funktionieren und die Netzfunktion bietet.Denn ich hab keine Lust alle paar Wochen vier D-Batterien wegzuschmeißen und Neue zu kaufen.Der Preis ist wirklich enorm aber es gibt im Moment keine Alternative die diesem Gerät das Wasser reichen kann.Da bei mir der Ring für die Schale bei mir schon kapputt war, (gebrauchtes Gerät als neu verkauft - Wolffstore_GmbH - Teilbetrag erstattet) habe ich mir ein Brett mit Stoppern als Unterlage gemacht das die Schale am Gerät hält - das ging sehr einfach und ist bombensicher.Nach langer Suche habe ich dieses Gerät gekauft und bin sehr zufrieden damit.Ich habe mir viele Maschinen sehr genau angesehen. Alles andere was ich so gelesen habe scheint dagegen echter Schrott zu sein.Hierfür aber volle Empfehlung!Danke für's Lesen!

The best automatic pet feeder we've ever owned - by far! Worth every penny of its expensive price. Reliable, simple to program, can go down to 1/8 cups, with extra feedings possible, so very useful for diabetic cats requiring smaller but more frequent feedings. Looks very classy too, with good quality components. One shortcoming is the smoked clear plastic lid. It makes it difficult to see how much food is in the reservoir, so we have forgotten to add food on several occasions, because we didn't notice how empty the hopper was - but that's our fault. This is a quality piece of equipment that does the job superbly.

Après une expérience malheureuse avec un autre distributeur pas cher, où les distributions sont très souvent incomplètes car la roue de distribution de bloque, ce produit PetSafe semble être le produit fiable que je cherchais. La programmation est facile à faire et à modifier, et le système de distribution par convoyeur avec petits compartiments sur le tapis de convoyage parait très fiable (jusqu'à maintenant en tout cas). Il n'y a aucun risque que le convoyeur se retrouve bloqué par une croquette, et donc que l'animal manque de nourriture. L'avancement du convoyeur est plutôt silencieuse, le bruit vient surtout des croquettes qui tombent dans la gamelle métallique, bruit que l'animal a vite compris comme étant une invitation à venir manger.Des essais sont à faire la première fois bien sûr pour mesurer la correspondance entre les mesures de l'appareil en millilitre et le poids délivré de ses croquettes habituelles. C'est facile à faire grâce à la fonction de chargement du convoyeur qui fait avancer le convoyeur de 8 compartiments.
