Faroro Automatic Cat Feeder, 4L Cat Feeder with Timer up to 6 Meals Per Day, Portion Control, Suitable for Small and Medium Pets

The media could not be loaded. Great feeder.We feed a stray cat that lives outside our house (refuses to live indoors, so feeder, when used is outdoors).When we go away we like to know he is still fed without relying on neighbours, with this feeder we can still give him his food and see him when he eats. The video and picture images that come through on my phone are really clear. The motion sensor pickups really well, so much so that we have had to angle the feeder away from the road slightly to stop picking up every car that goes by. (The feeder is placed outside when needed under cover to protect from the elements)Setup was faulty straight forward I had set my phone to 2.4g on my WiFi connection as the unit works on that. Once connection is established ( I used the QR code in the instruction book which was easy), you can then return to using 5g for your phone. Bluetooth also needs activating your phone as part of the connection process. Note that although the unit also holds 3 “d” cell batteries that these are only a backup in case of power cut and will not work the WiFi on the unit, presumably they just provide enough for the feeder to keep its feeding schedule.It holds 4 litres of food which is more than enough for us. There is a low food warning that comes through on your phone if the hopper gets low on kibble. Inside the hopper is also a rubber cap below which is a micro memory card slot for video recording. You can do manual videos and photos direct from your phone as well. The app is very easy to use after a bit of s play with it. I found setting the feeding schedule very easy. There are various notification options and whilst the instruction book does not cover these it is easy enough to play around with the options to see what they do. If in doubt get a teenager to help you!🙂The adapter power lead is a good length and we can plug in on a worktop and easily reach the floor.Night vision allows 24 hour viewing.There is also options to “talk” to your cat directly from the as well as prerecording messages that play automatically at feeding times. The microphone pick is very good ( we can hear conversations on the front of our property!)As you can see from the images there is more than one cat using the feeder. We thought we had one stay but we now know there are 3 neighbours cats visiting to check if our stay has left anything! It also shows us anyone at our door, similar to one of those video door bells but not so obvious! And of course we can converse with callers using the microphone function the app.The unit comes apart very easily for cleaningThere is a little compartment the hopper lid to place a sachet of silica gel to keep the food dry, this will need to be changed regularly.I will point out that we use it outdoors for a couple of days at a time but there is nothing in the instructions to say it is suitable for outside use so do so at your own risk. Like I say I have mine under cover where it cannot get wet or splashed and the plug is connected inside the house.All in all this is a big thumbs up from me. We had the makers non wifi or camera feeder before this one which did its job well enough but so much nicer to see who is using the feeder and in my view this is a lot easier to program.

I’m so impressed with the Faroro automatic cat feeder! It has made feeding my cat so much easier and stress-free. The build quality is excellent, and the design looks sleek and modern.One of my favorite features is the camera – the HD video is super clear, even at night thanks to the night vision. I love being able to check in on my cat when I’m not home, and the view is amazing. It’s such a relief to see that everything’s fine and my cat is happily eating.The app is very easy to use and makes scheduling meals really convenient. You can control everything from your phone ,set portions, times, and even talk to your cat through the two-way audio!Overall, it’s a fantastic product and totally worth it. My cat loves it, and so do I!

I had high hopes for the Faroro Automatic Cat Feeder with Camera, especially with its advertised features like 3MP HD video, two-way audio, and app control. Unfortunately, my experience has been very disappointing.From the start, the feeder was unreliable. It frequently failed to dispense food at the scheduled times, leaving my cat waiting and me scrambling to manually feed them, defeating the whole purpose of an "automatic" feeder. The app often showed feeding schedules correctly, but the feeder simply wouldn't dispense, with no clear error message.The camera and night vision were decent, and the two-way audio worked fine when connected, but these features are meaningless if the core function—feeding your pet—is inconsistent. The low food sensor and motion alerts were hit-or-miss, often sending delayed or inaccurate notifications.After just four months of inconsistent performance, the feeder stopped working altogether. It won't wont dispense any food at all. For a premium-priced product, this level of durability and reliability is unacceptable.Save yourself the stress and choose a more dependable brand. I do not recommend this feeder if you care about your pet’s routine and well-being.

Took about 15 minutes to figure it out as the instructions are a bit complicated but then I figured out that it functions just like a tamagotchi!It has the option for feeding times PM and AM up to 6 times a day with the portions set at 6.5g per portion (you can increase portion size per meal depending on pet)It also has the option to select no feed per time selected so is good for pets on a diet.It has a smart lock on the lid which requires two hands, so sneaky pets can't get into it.Does NOT come with USB plug, but comes with a cable. I do like though that it has the option to use batteries in case there is no socket near by/ power outages.The contained can hold alot of kibbles and keeps them fresh through both the lid and dispenser.Does not fit regular sized pet bowls, I've had to use a bit of cardboard under the bowl to press the bowl upwards to catch the food.Punchy the cat is a bit scared of it but hopefully soon will get used to it.Ideal for greedy pets who like to beg unsufferingly for food and steal.Pros;Secure lock, lots of room for food, stops begging, keeps food fresh, pest free (no access for flies) multiple feed time options/portion size adjustmentsCons;A bit tricky to follow the instructions and programme, does fit regular pet bowls (cat sized bowls are too small, the voice recording isn't great.

Simple to use once you read instruction properly. Very useful. Pretty compact. Surprised by the amount it can hold considering the size
