Editorial Review:

Product Description:
Great for cats and dogs, this fully automatic pet feeder features a tough plastic base that holds a food reservoir for food "on demand." The electronic pet feeder's simple, programmable electronics prompt the feeder to dispense portions from 1/4 to 3 cups at three selected times per day. The unit can be set to meet scheduled feeding times and amounts when caretakers are away, but it is not meant to replace human care--please be sure someone still visits the pet daily. The unit's hopper holds 4.2 pounds of food and accommodates a full range of dry food sizes, shapes, and types. Required batteries, which are not included, sustain a long battery life of six months. One-year limited warranty.

Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Do NOT recommend
I do not recommend this product. The design is poor and extremely easy for any cat to figure out how to get more food to fall out. The chute is wide open which invites this type of behavior. It also did not despense the correct amount of food. When set to 1/4 cup, it would only spit out a few morsels. I checked for jams, and found none. The food dish is also not a secure fit. It simply clicks in place, and can easily fall off, allowing even more access to the food. I would suggest another ... Read More



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Worked great....while it worked
We purchased this to feed our cats during extended week ends. It worked for about two weeks then started sticking (not dispensing food). It was a pain to have to empty it and unjam it. A week after we started having problems, it quit working all together. We will be going low tech from now on out although the cats may get a little rolly-polly while we are gone.



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Pros & Cons
I purchased the Petmate Le Bistro pet feeder for several reasons and it has lived up to my initial expectations. I would recommend it with some reservations...

THE GOOD:
1) I wanted a reliable feeder to automatically dole out small portions of food for my compulsively over-eating cat when I went away on short weekend trips. If you follow the instructions, you can work through the anti-intuitive programming to get the thing programmed and working properly.
2) I was sure my ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Best feeder ever!!!
Despite some of the poor reviews this machine was given, I went ahead and ordered two of the Le Bistro Automatic Feeders (I got the 5 lb feeders that serve up to 2 cups of food). I was fortunate to get the latest model and all I can say is that they are the best feeders ever!

I believe that the company listened to some of the complaints of past reviewers and improved the model.

1)The machine can now be ran on either battery power (3D's) or by an adapter. I am currently running ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Automation is great
I love this machine! Our two cats used to wake my wife and me up every morning at 5:30 for breakfast...not anymore! The amount of food that is dispensed from the machine is slightly off, but I compensated for this by adding a meal and decreasing the meal size. (This is why I gave four stars.) Some people had issues programming the feeder, I did not. It took me about two minutes to program. (Tech Geek) If you are in the market for an automatic feeder, I would recommend this one.
