![]() ![]() This same peace of mind is enhanced by the included backup battery, which can continue to run a feeder program even if the power goes out for up to 24 hours. "The notifications provide peace of mind, so I can spend less time worrying about my cats while I'm away." "The app is great!" one tester said, noting their general disdain for having to download an app for every new connected product before describing the Feeder-Robot as an exception. It's designed to more effectively funnel food into the dispenser, but also reduces the total capacity to 25 cups-still a substantial amount of food. The Feeder-Robot's reservoir can hold up to 32 cups of dry food, though anything other than small, round kibble will likely need the included Hopper Insert. If your cat doesn't overeat and you don't closely monitor servings, this "gravity mode" ensures that the feeder isn't dispensing an overflowing mound of food while you're away. There's also a setting that dispenses just enough food to keep the bowl full, with the Feeder-Robot checking its level every 6 hours. A dispenser that uses 1/4-cup increments is already installed in the Feeder-Robot, but you can swap it for an included 1/8-cup dispenser that provides more precise portion control (though this reduces the maximum single serving to 1/2 cup). It's easy to dial in precise meal times and serving increments with the Feeder-Robot's robust settings, through which you can dispense up to a full cup of food as frequently as eight times a day. Set up out of the box was easy, taking us about 15 minutes, including downloading and syncing the phone application (by scanning a QR code on the back of the feeder), which is available on iOS and Android. This makes it feel a little top heavy, though not enough to be concerned about cats knocking it over-bashing it with a ten-pound sandbag didn't budge it, so neither will your cat. ![]() Despite it's bulky dimensions, the Feeder-Robot tapers to a 9 x 11.25 inch footprint. The design of the Feeder-Robot is simultaneously futuristic and friendly, though it's definitely on the larger side, so buyers should be ready for it to take up a fair amount of space. ![]() The feeder scored especially high marks for its features, effectiveness, timer accuracy, and portion control. Training only takes approximately 2 to 3 days.Our testers appreciated that the Whisker Feeder-Robot had a variety of intuitive feeding options and the most useful app of any feeder tested. €¢ Built from robust heavy gauge galvanized steel is weather tight.Ģ75mm wide x 470mm high x 480mm deep - including treadle. €¢ No feather damage to birds’ necks or breasts from reaching in to deep troughs, the feed dish is shallow, so perfect for all poultry and ducks. The adjustable treadle allows for birds as little as 250 grams to open, if this is too light, then simply adjust to one of the 15 different settings. €¢ The feeder can be operated by all poultry big and small from the smallest of bantams to the largest of heavy breeds. €¢ The operating system is almost silent, so unlike other treadle feeders, will not spook extra timid poultry. €¢ No risk of injury with the unique treadle system which allows your poultry to walk on to the ramp which activates an inwards opening trap door, giving free access to their feed. The unique treadle operation of this feeder will ensure your poultry has all day access to their favourite tucker (but not sparrows and other wild birds). Chook Manor Feed-o-Matic Treadle feeder holds approximately 8kg of grain, mash or pellets respectively. Enough feed for 5 hens for approximately 10 days
