Crown Majestic Platinum Series Dog and Cat Automatic Pet Feeder

I have used this type of feeder before and knew it would meet my need for Jazz, my cat. I selected this model because it has the water dispenser. I like having one unit verses the feeder and still needing to have a second bowl of water to refill every day.The PROS- Timed feeding and how much, which helps when you are feeding more than one. The dish is removable from the unit for easy washing. The surprise I love is you can record your voice calling your kitty to come eat. Something I do every day. As I was setting up the unit and recording, my Jazz came running know what the call meant.CONs- the device they use to attach the water dish to the feeding dish is not good. I finally gave up and just placed them without the attachment piece. Also the portion size is tiny. I worked with it but with two cats you may have to crank it up to full portions and feed more often.I am really pleased overall. It just arrived today so if I find it doesnt work right, I will be back. As of today, I love and recommend this product from the others I am familiar with.The only reason I did not give it a five star is the force of expelling the cat food into the tray is not enough to push it past the flap door until it builds up several batches.

Works great and easy to assemble. The feeding settings are simple to do and edit. The amount dispense is a little tricky, but once you run it for a few days and see how much food is left over after your pet eats its easy to adjust. The water bowl is nice, I had to hot glue the base stand that connects it to the main unit, because my cat knocked it over once. I love that it has battery backup in case the power goes out. I have mine set to dispense different amounts every 6 hours, lesser amounts when my cat is usually sleeping. The ability to record a message is cool and I get a laugh every time it plays. My cat comes running when she hears the unit start dispensing the food. I'm very pleased with this item!

Alright automatic feeder. If you're looking to see if your cat is open to using an automatic feeder but don't wanna break that bank, this may be a solid pick for you.It's a little on the noisy side and depending on the size and make of the kibble you put in you may spend a lot of time unsticking the part that spins. I ultimately also ended up removing the flap as it helped hold the kibble back, which further impeded the already weak motor. Luckily the rotating element is easy enough to remove and clean, but unluckily even with all the cleaning I did the motor burned out after about a year. If you use it infrequently ymmv.

This automatic pet food dispenser is a priceless addition to any home, especially with overweight cats or for those who are away from home for extended periods in the day and don't want to free feed. It is easy to program with a few buttons and an LCD screen on the front. You can choose from 1/8 to 1 cup portion sizes from 1-4 times a day. Portions are delivered at specifically set times. You can record a message that plays at each dispensing if you want to alert your pet that it is mealtime. The main food dish is easy to clean metal that is easy to remove. The water dish is a little awkward to clean. It fits tightly next to the main feeding portion with a curved design and has a Lego-style peg and groove attachment that is not easy to line up. The water bottle is only 16 oz, so with 2 cats, the bottle needs to be filled 1-2 times a day. So, while the feeding is ok for days, the water needs to be tended to daily. The dispenser runs on AC or DC power. We have had the same batteries installed since we received it 7 months ago and have not had to change the batteries yet. The build quality is excellent. I would definitely recommend.

I have owned this unit for a little over two years now, and for the past 8 months or so the unit has been unreliable. I will set it up to feed our cat for a weekend when I have to visit my family. It works the first morning, but then it appears to stop working the next two mornings, and randomly plays the tune for feeding whenever it wants. Luckily this last time I had a friend who stopped in to check on my cat, otherwise, my cat might have gone two days without food.When it worked, it was OK, once it lost reliability though, it's basically worthless at this point.

For a couple days we reviewed all the automatic feeders online. The `Crown Majestic Platinum Series Dog and Cat Automatic Pet Feeder` was always at the top two as we searched most importantly because we had a small kitten and needed a machine that could give small 1/8 of a cup servings!!We chose the "Crown Majestic Automatic Pet Feeder however when we received it there were a couple bugs with the timing and the portions coming out. I emailed the company and they (Carl) called me the very next morning when they arrived at work. I explained the situation and they immediately replaced that one. The bugs were just a fluke...They were very Understanding, Friendly & Professional!!As soon as it arrived we documented the feeding times and amounts and it ended up working "Perfectly"!Our kitten was the runt of the litter so small timed portions were a must and you cannot find a better, dependable auto feeder!The Water Bottle is a Amazing Idea and Attachment!Our daughter had come home for a brief visit and she is ordering one for her cat and dog as they are both professionals and are gone for a couple days at times and they wont have to have their neighbors come by to feed their pets anymore!It is a very Outstanding product, our kitten loves it and we definitely highly recommend this automatic feeder!~W.W.W.~ *USMC-Ret*
