Catit Pixi Smart 6-Meal Automatic Feeder

Unfortunately, a waste of money – we needed a dispenser for pouches that would keep the food safe and healthy. Sadly, the cooling packs only last about 3 hours, and if your cat needs wet food, you still have to be at home to give her each portion fresh. Unfortunately, the short cooling time was confirmed when our cat vomited because the pouch wasn’t kept cool enough. And we even bought two extra sets of batteries to keep it chilled as much as possible. So I’d only recommend this for dry food.

The display broke down really quickly (in less than a year). At first, it was really stiff and it was hard to set the time. Then it stopped working altogether. For this price, that's very fast wear and tear.

The perfect product to regulate my greedy cat's feeding.

The clock is off by 15 to 30 minutes every day. Unfortunately, zooplus refuses to exchange the device because it has already been unpacked and used. Not recommended—it's only getting one star because it looks nice.

The automatic feeder serves its purpose very well for our needs. We mainly use it at night and when we're away, which makes everyday life much easier. The app is especially handy, as it allows you to adjust feeding times on the go without any trouble. The initial beeping is noticeable, but after a while you hardly notice it, even at night. All in all, it's a practical and reliable device that we're happy to keep using.

Solid build quality, at least that. The annoying beeping can only be changed in the app, but you’d have to reset the WiFi for that. The time shifts by 15 minutes every day and then has to be reset with a lot of beeping. The instruction manual is confusing, and even for us, the lid is nearly impossible to open. Disappointing.

The Futterufo makes a solid impression and will probably withstand the cat’s attempts to break in, since it’s not easy to open even for people with slim fingers. The confusing user manual refers you to a QR code, which I find quite annoying. What really bothers me is the device’s persistent beeping. Apparently, you can turn it off in the app, but you’d have to change your router settings, and there’s no off button. Basically, it’s a solid device, but I’m deducting points because of the constant beeping.

I bought this product so my cat could have wet food in the morning and evening. Despite the cooling packs, after two days there was mould. Apart from that, the product is good and works well, but it's really only meant to be used over 24 hours, so in my case it's not useful.

Poor quality and ridiculous design. The touchscreen makes a "beep" every time you touch it, and there’s no way to turn it off. My cat, attracted by the noise, played with it for hours, so I had to find a way to cover the screen. Even worse, it’s not sturdy at all: my cat managed to force it open very quickly to steal the food. An expensive, noisy product that’s not secure at all. Avoid it—it’s definitely not “Smart”.
