Automatic Pet Feeder with Voice Recording and Metal Tray

This feeder has a friendly robot-style face and a front display for setting meals. Food sits in a removable barrel on top, which lifts off so you can wash it, and it drops into a metal tray at the front that is easy to wipe clean. It works with dry food between 5 mm and 12 mm (0.2 to 0.47 inch) across.

You can set up to four meals a day, and each meal can include up to 39 portions of about 5 g (0.18 oz) each. A manual button dispenses a single portion of about 5 g at a time. You can also record a 10-second message in your own voice, and the feeder plays it before each meal so your pet learns to come for it. An infrared sensor is built in, and an automatic stuck-motor protection protects the motor if something jams.

If the power goes out, the feeder saves its current feeding settings automatically, so you do not need to program it again. Measure the space where it will sit, as it stands taller than a bowl, and the tray is meant for pets that eat from a standard dish. Choose the plug type carefully when ordering: the options cover several regions, so pick the one marked US. Wash the barrel and tray with warm soapy water and keep the electronic base dry.
