My current foster cat is food obsessed and likes to eat regularly. This automatic feeder is helpful for the days when I'm going to be out for a while - such as when I am working in the office or visiting friends and might not be back home in time for the regular feeding time.
Good - My foster cat has a fat head, so the size of the portion trays actually slows him down from eating so quickly (when compared to him eating from a saucer). The sides also help to keep the food in the feeder rather than being flicked onto my kitchen floor.
The auto-feeder is fairly ease to use, and is reliable. It is easy to clean.
For future improvements to the product, the manufacturers could consider introducing something such as the owner being able to record their voice, a pss-pss-pss sound, or the sound of shaking a pouch of Dreamies (possibly combined with a phone app the owner could activate) so that the cat could better understand when food was available. This would hopefully avoid the need for the owner to have to get out of bed from the constant pawing and licks to the face just to go and point to the feeder at 4am!
A little complicated to use initially but after reading the manual a few times it isn’t that difficult to get the hang of.
Cleaning is easy and the item comes apart easily to be able to clean each part separately.
Would recommend.
I have an exceptionally food oriented Cat. Even when fed more than enough he is constantly looking for more food, so bought one of these when he was just 10 weeks old to spread his meals throughout the day. The product itself is a great idea and he was much happier being fed several small meals. Unfortunately it doesn’t last very well with him and he has managed to destroy 2 of them in 10 months by bashing them around and chewing on the bowl just before his scheduled feeding time.
I’m not sure if something could be changed to make them more robust, or if it is just not the right product for us. But it’s getting too expensive to have to buy a new one after a few months of use.
Would be great for a cat that’s not as impatient at meal times, but not a good choice for mine.

Two downsides I've found is the times don't perfectly sync up like no matter what, even if I perfectly time setting it they eventually de-sync from one another. Not too big of a deal for our household but good to know. Also we've had trouble with the freezer packs eventually failing at the seams and have had to replace all of them already. Otherwise great product and we'll keep on using it!

- Yes, despite the confusing "Bowls Only" description, the stainless version does come with the plastic "carousel."
- Yes, the "carousel" fits in the C500 the same as the original plastic tray, and yes, it fits fine with the cool packs.
I will update after we use it for a few weeks.

Update: Raising my review to 5 stars... I have been using this almost every night overnight, lately, and also when I go out for a day and it's just brilliant. Such a great purchase! It'll also be good for her cat-sitter to use when needed. Also, once, it rotated with the top off and got misaligned, but it was easy to fix by pressing adjust plus the up button simultaneously and holding. I see online that there's a stainless steel food dish insert (instead of plastic) available on the product website... Would be awesome to have this available on Amazon!

It's battery operated so if the power goes, my cat gets fed.
It has cool pads so I can leave wet good in there.
The basins are wide enough for comfort I think, and they're easy to clean.
Practically it only conceals 4 meals- but that's all I need.
Many of the fancier ones were huge or gimmicky- this is simple, low profile and resistant to my HassleCat.
The only thing is that the cold packs have started to buckle a bit. We'll see how long they last.
Very happy with it overall
