Closer Pets C200 2 Maaltijd Automatische Huisdier Feeder voor Katten en Kleine Honden met Roestvrij staalkom Inserts en Ijspak

fonctionne parfaitement

Klasse, wenn man mal ein paar Stunden länger weg ist oder woanders übernachtet.Durch das Kühlpad bleibt das Futter schön frisch, die Zeiteinstellung ist nicht wirklich minutengenau, aber das sollte man bei einem analogen Drehregler auch nicht zwingend erwarten.Auch praktisch, wenn man mal vor der Fütterungszeit ins Bett will aber die Katzen nicht aus dem Rhytmus bringen mag.Fazit, die Katzen bekommen frisches Futter und das Gerät ist leicht zu reinigen. Passt alles, würden wir wieder kaufen.

This is a super long review because I had to do ALOT of research before purchasing and I'm not from US so I paid USD 60 bucks for this, and well, I'm not rich. And I know alot of you can relate to at least that last part. So here it goes.Pros:- The only semi-affordable one on Amazon that came together with the stainless steel inserts + ice pack. (Plastic traps bacteria and can cause chin acne for your pet.)- Easy for everyday cleaning without having to dismantle the entire thing.- It serves it's purpose, hassle-free, and even continues to work in the event of an electricity blackout.- Easy to keep the food fresh. Even if you don't think the ice pack is enough, you can always put actual ice cubes / frozen bone broth in the food itself OR a thin layer of ice in the bowl and freeze it before you put wet food in it.- I'm not sure if they fixed the ticking sound but it's almost silent to me. Which is great.- Looks good in terms of durability and design. Like it's pretty sturdy and is cute. I think only super smart pets or rough pets will figure out how to open it or just break it.Cons:- I honestly can't trust it a 100% due to 2 reasons; a) Maybe 1 day it malfunctions and doesn't open, and b) There's no battery life indicator.So imagine after 5 to 10 uses, you think it's all good and reliable, but then you come home and see it didn't open because it malfunctioned or the battery's dead. So your pet didn't eat. Not good. In a perfect world, this thing should be rechargeable and the battery can last at least 2 days. That would be a dream come true.- The timer is not 100% accurate, I set it to 4 hours and it opened after 3 hours. It's not a big deal to me as long as the accuracy differs by a maximum of an hour, I'm good.- I wish it made a sound everytime it opens. I'm worried my cat will not see that his food is ready and will continue to sleep. Eventually this will disrupt his meal schedule. I've seen some reviews suggesting to tie a bell on the lid. Obviously I will do that, but that just seems like an extra step since it could've just come with a sound in the first place.Overall:I will have to work around the battery issue like for example the instruction manual recommended the Duracell MN1500 battery as it's supposed to last for 12 months, so I could just change the battery after 10 months to be safe. And maybe figure out a way to give him a heavier breakfast and dinner in case the thing malfunctions.Other than that, there are 2 takeaways here:1. If you're like me, you don't wanna leave dry food out all day when you're not around and your goal is to be able to feed wet food according to a specific daily schedule (but you can't leave wet food out all day), this is the best budget friendly option in the market. BUT, I wouldn't recommend this as a permanent/long term solution. I would save up and invest in another option that allows me to control the machine remotely/wirelessly via an app, which means it opens when I tell it to open. Only then I wouldn't worry (unless the WiFi is out, which hardly ever happens.)Because ultimately the main goal is to be able to trust a machine to feed your pet the specific meal schedule that you have painstakingly planned for them. This feels like one of the products that meet that goal but on a very basic level. If budget is tight, save up and get a better one and just keep upgrading until you get the best one ever. Your furbabies deserve the best.2. If you're not too anal about meal planning or you dont even feed wet food and you're using this for dry food, but want your pet to eat only at certain timings maybe for weight loss, prevent overeating or whatever your reason is, this is the best simple and no hassle option for you.So it all depends on your financial situation and what you truly want out of a machine. If money is not even an issue, what are you doing here?

Works like a charm. This feeder is so easy to use it’s like setting an egg timer.

This has been a lifesaver as my kitten loves to wake me at 5am every day for breakfast. It’s quiet, there is a faint ticking noise but it doesn’t make noise when it opens. I don’t find there to be an issue with the timer, it seems to open on time. Also is durable, my kitten has tried her best to get it open and can’t, however I did have to Velcro it to my floor as she kept flipping it around my room lol. But now it’s great.
