Donut Frost 6 Meal Cordless Automatic Pet Feeder

I was worried about the app and Wi-Fi and connecting them, but it’s just the Smart Life app, and when I opened it with the Donut plugged in, it “found” it right away, then I just had to enter my Wi-Fi password. Now I’m feeding my dog from 400 miles away while I’m working 16 hour days. Tomorrow I’ll be feeding him from San Francisco, I live in L.A. But his regular food is always out, I use this for treats like lunch meat or that mix with chicken and egg and carrot. Then I’ll use bacon for the last couple slots, that holds up better without cooking. It’s so fun to press the button and know that it’s spinning and making him excited!

Purchased this item for my 13 year old cat that needs to eat every few hours..and so far it's great. If it gets unplugged it stays on for a little bit before powering down. It has 5 feed times. There is 6 slots for food but only 5 times u can set it for. We use the 6th slot as a empty when we reset vs feeding the cat 6 times in 24 hours. A downside is the ice packs that come with it don't last 6 to 8 hours as stated.. its more like 3 hours. And it should come with 2 ive rings that are a full circle Vs 2 half size circles.(as pictured) And the reason for that is.. after the first round of feeding.. you have to refreeze them.. so in the meantime you either can't use the feeder or it won't have ice packs in it. 2 full circles would allow for you to switch them out. We use 1 at a time and rotate them out so that 1 is in the freezer and 1 in the unit at all times. It's a good bang for the buck.. for $66 dollars its worth it. Just needs some small tweeking. Shipping was fast and it arrived with all the parts. I'm considering ordering one for my dog as well.

The best! Cassian loves his automatic feeder so he can stay on schedule and his mom can sleep. Perfect for our busy traveling schedule.

I bought this product last week as my cat now needs a wet food only diet due to digestive issues. I wanted something that would feed in doses and keep cool throughout the day, I trialed it on my days off, and the ice pack only keeps it cool a couple of hours at most, think children’s school lunch ice pack, yet there’s zero insulation in the product. My apartment is kept at 69 F so there’s no outside heat either. I don’t leave perishable products out to be eaten by anyone, including my cat, for an extended period of time without it being safe. I contacted them right away to return for a refund and was told they could give me a $6.99 refund but they could only accept unused products. Don’t waste your money. You can see the email below.

My cat is 12 years old and recently diagnosed with IBD, so she requires small meals throughout the day. I couldn't handle the 6am feeds and feeds every few hours anymore (I work from home and it makes it impossible to get any focused work done) so I was really hopeful when I found this product.

I think the app and product could use some work. It's advertised as being cordless and wifi enabled, but they don't clearly tell you (there's very small fine print language in one of their product images, which I saw after receiving the feeder) that you can't actually utilize the wifi function unless it's plugged into a power source. When in "battery mode" the app constantly sends notifications that the feeder is in low power/battery mode and needs to be plugged in, and the little red light on the feeder telling you the machine is unplugged doesn't turn off like it's supposed to, so it's just constantly on (which gives me anxiety). Also, there's no indicator light for the battery, so you have no clue when it's fully charged or running low on battery. I emailed them, and they advised it should be charged for 6 to 8 hours and that the little red indicator light for the power source should turn off on its own after some time (it never turned off).

The feeding tray that comes with the feeder is a nice BPA free plastic, but it has pretty poor temperature conductivity with the ice packs if you plan to use it for wet food (you have to order the stainless steel version separately).

I think my cat is still getting used to the feeder since she doesn't really seem interested in eating out of it during the day. Ultimately, I'll probably continue using the product for the early morning feeds and maybe when I'm gone for extended hours.
