We have a 3 cat household and each cat has a carefully managed diet to maintain their svelte figures.This pet feeder has ensured that the two who are grazers, get their food when they want and has stopped the third from sneaking in and clearing up. It is possible to purchase a back cover should it be necessary to stop others helping themselves. It was really easy to train them to use it, even my timid cat only took 4 days to master it. It's not cheap but for us is worth every penny.

I've had it for a few months and very happy so far. One of my cats is overweight and the other one isn't and likes to graze throughout the day. For the setup all I had to do was insert batteries and place my slim cat underneath the scanning piece. I also adjusted the interval so the lid closes very quickly and the other cat doesn't have a chance to steal. It's been working very reliably.

My two cats have adapted to this feeding bowl, brilliantly. Easy to keep clean, lovely design. Highly recommended.

The surefeed is good that It most often leta just the programmed chip/cat eat. But it is so easy for the cats to reach on the side and to sneak next to to the one who it is for. To this expensive product lost most of its use. If the makers would have made the side walls larger that could have fixed some of the stealing. Also; the lid closes late after the cat walked away = lot of time to steal food for the other cats. I am a bit disappointed. Sorry to say.

We already had a very small yorkiepoo who is not greedy but as getting a new bsh. kitten needed to know that each were getting their own food so bought this feeder. Our kitten came microchipped so we set it up for him only , no training needed he worked it out for himself and happily eats from it freely and both get their full food needs met. One of the best things I have ever bought.

We got two of these after recently adopting a 2nd cat, and realising they were dipping into each other's food. Our piggy tabby is a whopping 7.8kg (prob not helped by stealing the new cat's food for 2 months), so needs to go on a diet. The feeders are not particularly noisy, with a gentle action, so we went from training 1 to normal use in 24hrs, they both got the hang of it straight away. They're great! Pricey but worth it not to end up with one fat diabetic cat, and one under-nourished!

Having cats on renal diets and new kittens, I was exhausted policing meal times and trying to keep everyone eating the correct diet. This was an expensive but necessary solution which is so far working great for us. Cats learnt quickly using the built in training program which guides them gradually into using the feeder. Easy to set up and you can add up to 32 cats per feeder, providing all have either a microchip or a tag on their collar. (Additional tags can be purchased). Love it!

Cat learnt how to use it straight away. Other cats can just reach over it from the side or stand next to each other and feed simultaneously. If you have a slightly aggressive eater then this becomes completely pointless.

I noticed that my 12-year-old cat's chip was no longer readable so he got a new one, and since then I have been able to curb his appetite for food thanks to this bowl! He usually stole food away from my other cat but this allows me to control his food intake and allow her to eat also. The bowl recognizes the microchip quickly and opens / closes very quickly. After 2 days of getting used to it, my cat accepted it completely.

We have 2 cats that couldn't be more different. The smaller one likes to eat their food in stages, while the other devours everything in minutes. Of course, we always had to be careful, otherwise she would have devoured what was left over as well. Therefore, the solution was an automatic feeder. When it was delivered I was totally impressed with the handling. I had imagined everything to be more difficult. Since our cat is chipped it was even easier. She started naturally eating from it from day 2.

My three cats needed to be fed separately as one was overweight. He was eating the food for the other cats. The other two are grazers and were losing weight. Now I can feed all of them tdifferent foods. I put big kitty feeder in a different room as he is aggressive and tries to push the others away from their bowls. But they all learned within a week that the lids open for them. Yes, expensive but so worth it and very easy to set up.

We needed the Surefeed Automatic Feeder because Mausi needs a special food. Mausi is sensitive, so we started the training program. We stayed in mode 1 for two weeks and when we switched to mode 2 we had to go back to mode 1 immediately. I had almost given up hope, but after almost 8 weeks of training everything is going perfectly and she always has fresh food for herself. I would buy this over and over! My advice: don't give up !!

I have a super scared foundling kitten at home, who runs away in panic every time people visit and crouches under the bed. It was therefore always very difficult for us to go on vacation longer, because we never really knew whether our kitten would eat enough. It was not pleasant for any of us. The machine has made life easier for all of us. Our snack eater takes when she is hungry and is no longer dependent on other people to get her food. Great!!

I am very enthusiastic about the device. However, you have to know that some care is required. It should be cleaned with a damp cloth at least every other day so that no food remains get into the small cracks and spoils there. Many may wonder if the device is suitable for large cats. Yes it is. It is important that the chip really sits somewhere in the area of the head / neck and not lower.

In the beginning, our cat cheated and devoured the food coming behind where the other cat ate and simply ate with it. After calling customer service, we received instructions on how to set custom modes. The machine now closes immediately when the cat's chip is nearby. Food theft impossible! We are very satisfied! Handling and cleaning also very simple and easy, price - performance absolutely top!

The device is super easy to program, the operation is child's play and the look is also chic. It's a shame that you don't get the coloured food bowls here as accessories. My cat ate without problems after two weeks. My mother's cat knew after two hours that this thing was a food source. The other cats no longer take any extra food. We are excited. I would be happy to recommend it.

So for the first time ever this is perfect for my three tigers: a feeding machine with diabetes, a cat who likes to eat in stages and a fussy cat. As a rule, all of them are fed well and have enough access to food throughout the day. Except when my thieving husky-mix strikes. Either he unlocks the covers neatly or he programs it himself (once is a coincidence, three times on different machines is a skill) and thus has unimpeded access.

The machines are really great. A price shock for 7 cats, of course, but it was the best investment. After a phone call to customer service, I was able to increase the range and activate the anti-intruder mode. Since the machine closes as soon as a second chip is recognized ... Many negative reviews here could have been avoided by a short phone call or an email to customer service (they are super nice) ... A top product that is worth the money !

I have a cat (18) for whom this bowl is simply the best invention ever. I would advertise this product without restrictions! It's just a shame that here at zooplus you don't get all the accessories, e.g. the attachable hood sets! For all those who keep complaining about food theft from the front, there is an "anti-intruder mode" !!! There is a great video on YouTube. And if you want a ceramic bowl, Google: Sir Fritz oval food plate

We have three of these for our cats which 2 are on special food and medication, so makes it easy, all 3 learn quite quickly how to use them the only reason for not giving 5 stars, is that our 3 are out door cats, and after having a dust bath, the feeders get really dirty and because of all the nooks and crannies you can't get them completely clean as you can't take the sides off to clean under them.
