This feeder worked great for one of my cats (Eevee) and not so good for the other cat (Elsa) We think maybe Elsa’s microchip is further down than Eevee’s, or maybe she’s just so big she has to step right into the feeder to activate the sensor, where as Eevee is barely near it and the feeder opens. It’s not realistic for Elsa to realise she has to step that far into the feeder to get her food. We added Elsa to Eevee’s feeder to check the feeder wasn’t faulty, and had the same issue.

Bought 2 of these as have fat boy, Max, (on fat boy diet food) and got 2 kittens (on kitten growing food). Guess which food Max preferred! Kittens took less than 24 hours to figure theirs out. Max is an incredibly scared boy due to being weaned too early and at the grand old age of 12 wondered if he’d ever get it. Ended up contacting the company for advice and after 11 months (!!) we are fully functional. Feeding time is no longer something we dread.

I have 2 timid cats and it took them 2 weeks to eventually get used to the full opening of the lid. if you follow the instructions for each setting, it certainly works - be patient and guided by your cats. With our recent hot weather, the food has kept fresh and free from any fly visitors - we all love it. I am very happy with this product and is reasonably priced too.

We have 2 cats & one kitten. They are each on separate diets due to health issues. This is the perfect feeder for them. I no longer have to worry about them stealing each other’s food, especially when there is medication added. The kitten didn’t need the training mode. He got it straight away. Adults may take longer due to the noise if they are a bit jumpy. It’s not loud though, just different. Highly recommend.

5 cats, 2 overweight & 3 that graze; each has one & all know which is theirs. The Tortie pulls her tray out looking for more food & looks in other feeders in case they aren’t closed. If opened manually it needs to be closed manually; if cat opens automatically the green light is on & it closes automatically. My big cat needs the tag as his chip is not in the right place due to his size. Cat sitters use these feeders. They are brilliant, definitely recommend for multi-cat households.

My cat has to take medication. Our new roommate likes to "steal" for his life, and the cat simply does not get enough food. But now the problem is solved and I can even go on vacation without having to worry that the cat will eat the "drug" treats causing the cat problems. And she had figured out how the device worked before I even had the opportunity to start training mode.

4 cats and all 4 took around 10 min to figure it out and get used to it. Cats when hungry will start using it and you have to encourage them to use it and they will get over the noise. Best product my cats love it and It had sorted my problem amazingly😊 I bought 4 so every cat is happy... Well almost every as the 7kg cat is OK diet😂

It helped my two kittens lose weight!

i have 3 cats - 2 have food alleriges, not the same allergy! Therefore i bought this to try it before buying 3. i have tried it with all 3 of my cats and they are scared of the mechanism. They also dont like something being round the back of their heads when eating, none of my cats hunch down to eat - which meant putting their head through the space to eat wasnt something they were comfortable with i would not recommed buying this product

I have three cats with different eating habits. Two are real vacuum cleaners that leave no residue, but my oldest cat only eats small portions. The SureFeed automatic feeder effectively prevents my other cats from stealing my eldest cat's food. A great product that I can only recommend!

We have two SureFeed machines and are very happy with them. In summer, the cover mists up and the lining smells nasty after a few hours, so be careful and replace it if necessary. For holiday care, I like to use it for dry food, because the two of them should not eat as much, and it is then a controlled addition for emergencies (the wet food is then in the ceramic bowl next to it). The food is protected from the thieving dog!

Our cats quickly got used to the machines. Very easy to maintain! We are satisfied!

Took my 9 year old boy all of 5 minutes to work this out. Helped he was hungry & over his feeding time. I have to keep 1 of my cats on dry as wet upsets her tummy badly. The older cat recently lost weight due to deciding to refuse dry food. So the wet food & his supplements are all his now. I can monitor how much he eats & know it's only him eating it. Took seconds to set up. Expensive, but solved the big problem I was faced with so I'm happy to pay the price.

Unfortunately, like only 1 other reviewer, this product seems to be ineffective for my situation. Bought 2 and the greedy cat took to it immediately, but the one who likes to graze won't go near it. He doesn't want to put his head under the arch, and the motor sound terrifies him. Alas, I was so excited for this and feel really sad. Otherwise it's a great product.

I have used these for about 6 years, have 4 cats & 3 feeders, they are all on different diets. One will eat nothing but biscuits - sadly. One on a renal diet, one on a normal elderly diet & have just rescued a skip diver, counter surfer dustbin cat. My Maine coon cannot use his properly. He has a very long neck & because his microchip is between his shoulder blades, it won't recognise it until his head is out the other side of the arch. It then opens & he panics running off with it around his neck. I could use the rfd tag, but, he has never had a collar & feeding him on the hall windowsill at the top of the stairs that only he can reach, seemed an easier option. They are rather large & tricky to clean, especially if your cat eats like a rotavator! Very good item that does save you money as less waste from spoiled food.

I didn’t think my daft cat was going to get it but after almost 6 weeks he’s had a eureka moment and ‘by Jove he’s got it’! We have one cat on a special diet so now he’s learned which bowl is his and all going well. Great idea just give it time and they will get it eventually. Only one design flaw is when on trainer mode the light constantly flashes draining the battery and as with our stupid cat got through lots during that phase.

I put a few treats in the bowl and my cat's chip was registered straight away. The learning process is well designed. My fussy grazer learned to use this within a few days. Now I can leave her food down, safe in the knowledge my other cat - an ex-stray, rubbish bag raider who is *always* hungry - can't steal it. Only negatives are the box wasn't glued together properly and fell apart when opened. And I find the open/close switch sometimes doesn't register it was pressed.

My feeder wouldn't recognise the cat and would only open for a second before closing on her snout! Went through the troubleshooting guide with no luck and was sent a new feeder out within 2 days. Superb can't praise them enough. Well done guys.

I bought 3 and its definitely money well spent, my fur babies all get their own food to eat without stealing leftovers.

So good keeping the kitten from eating the old guy's food - but as she grew a little and started with more adult food - had to get another to prevent him eating hers! great product - no more flies!! woohoo
