If you read their reviews, no one can connect their petkit with wifi.
They're using bots to make reviews.
I wish I searched it up before buying. It doesn't work at all and this is most people's experience with it.

EDIT: Everyone on their reddit has different "workarounds" to make it work. None of their workarounds worked for me, but somehow after five hours of frustration, found my workaround.

I don't have an agenda, look at their website and reviews (and their subreddit)- their top 15 or so most upvoted reviews are all people clamouring that their products are not functioning out of the box.

This is great. The app is very user-friendly too. I got the Dark Grey instead of the white one as it is see-through and can easily spot if the food levels are low without opening the lid, so the food stays fresh for longer. This is great.

It was time for an upgrade of our feeder and this one worked really well while we were away for 7 days. We still had someone checking in on our 2 cats but the feeder did everything it said and the app works well. Very pleased with our purchase.

Be sure to update the firmware before setting up automated feeding times. Works great, took the cat 3 days to get used to it and now it knows where his food is.
I wish this was Google Home compatible. It’s not. Maybe further updates and development it will Be sure to update the firmware before setting up automated feeding times. Works great, took the cat 3 days to get used to it and now it knows where his food is.

Bought this to help even out the calorie intake of our nursing dog, to keep her going through the day, works great. The max portion sizes are small and it only holds a few days worth of food for our medium sized dog but there are easy work arounds. The machine communicates well, I receive notifications when food has been dispensed and when it is low. It is working really well for us.

We purchased this Petkit Fresh Element with the intention of using it to feed our cat while we are away in the weekends. It has exceeded our expectations!

It easily connects up to Home Assistant and we can feed the cat from there. I also installed an ESP32-Cam camera above it so that we can see if the cat has eaten its food or needs more etc.

The only downside is that it is cloud-only and sends all your interactions back to Petkit. We purchased this Petkit Fresh Element with the intention of using it to feed our cat while we are away in the weekends. It has exceeded our expectations!

Very convenient as we can feed our cats anywhere at most possibly anytime of the day. Easily set up a feeding plan in case we might forget. Highly recommend for 1 cat Very convenient as we can feed our cats anywhere at most possibly anytime of the day. Easily set up a feeding plan in case we might forget. Highly recommend for 1 cat

Constantly going offline. Unable to see if it has actually dispensed anything until it decides to reconnect. Very frustrating. Tried to reset the feeder and now cant connect at all. Do not reccomend buying this. Constantly going offline. Unable to see if it has actually dispensed anything until it decides to reconnect. Very frustrating.

I’ve had this for about 3 weeks now and it’s great. This is an upgrade as the old feeder broke and this one is way easier to setup. I’ve had this for about 3 weeks now and it’s great. This is an upgrade as the old feeder broke and this one is way easier to setup.

This feeder is great. The hopper is large enough to hold enough food for our cat for many weeks. It's fully programmable and connects via wifi, so as well as timed feeding programmes you can dispense food over the Internet if needed. The only negative is the English translation is somewhat quaint, but the instructions and alerts are still understandable. Would buy again. This feeder is great.
