Our review
PetSafe’s Smart Feed second-generation unit stores up to six liters (about twenty-four cups) and schedules as many as twelve meals per day with portions from one-eighth cup to four cups. The My PetSafe app monitors meals, sends low-food alerts, and supports Alexa snack dispense from compatible Echo devices in your home.
Slow-feed mode spreads larger portions over fifteen minutes, which helps gulpers. The listing notes hopper, lid, and stainless bowl are top-rack dishwasher safe — a real convenience for messy eaters. Backup batteries can keep the last schedule running if Wi-Fi or power drops, though smart features pause offline.
Connectivity complaints are common in recent reviews: units refuse to rejoin Wi-Fi or need lengthy setup. Value opinions split given the price tier. It fits owners who want large capacity plus Alexa and slow feed, but only if you accept app maintenance and have a supported phone.
