Petmate Le Bistro Portion-Control Automatic Pet Feeder Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)After looking around for an auto feeder it seemed like they all had some issue, but this had mostly positive reviews so I figured I'd give it a try. I bought two so each of my cats could have one. Unfortunately one of them did not work upon arrival so I sent it back and had a new one sent within a week. A few things to point out based on other reviewers problems.
1. Programming is quite easy if you just follow the instructions, it took me about 2 minutes to have it set up and ready to go.
2. If you attach the container and lid on properly your cat will not be able to get into it.
3. It will only take a day or two for your cat to realize if it sticks its arm up the food chute it can get a piece or two out but it's probably more of a hassle than your cat will want to deal with after a few tries.
4. If you are using normal dry cat food (which is smaller than the 1/2" recommended size on the instructions) the portion control isn't very accurate. I found I had to just set it 1/4 cup smaller than I actually wanted them to have.
Once you figure out a few of the quirks of this product it will work without problems. Both of mine have made my life much easier since the cats know I don't control their food anymore than just sit around until they hear the food being portioned out by the auto feeder.

AUTOMATIC CAT FEEDER COMBO/CSF-3XL 1.8 GAL./ with NEW Bowl, Dual Outlet Digital 7-day Timer and Stand Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We purchased this feeder about two months ago so that we could leave our cats for a few days while traveling, and so that we could do a better job enforcing the diet we have them on. We kept an eye on it for a couple weeks before leaving the cats alone over Thanksgiving. By the time Thanksgiving rolled around, we didn't have the faintest doubt that the feeder could be trusted to do its thing reliably and without breaking (despite the cats' best attempts to destroy it). This feeder is industrial grade, plain and simple. Everything about it is heavy duty. If you want a feeder you can really trust, this is the one to get. I wouldn't totally trust any others on the market.
The more mischievous of our two cats figured out how to stick her paw in the machine and get a few more kernals out. Purchasing the accessory hood solved that problem, though. If you have a clever cat, you should just get the hood to begin with. I think it will come pre-installed that way, too, which is nice because you have to disassemble the machine to install it.
The feeder itself is simple and foolproof. The most complicated part of setting it up is programming the timer. You can choose whatever timer you want, though, so it is as simple or difficult as you make it.
I contacted the seller a couple times when I first placed the order, and when ordering the accessory hood later. The company is amazingly responsive -- like others have said, I even got a reply to an email on a weekend within an hour!
If you need a cat feeder, this is the one to get. It is more than worth the extra cost over other feeders.
