This Automatic Pet Feeder Is on Sale for $99

The Petkit Yumshare Automatic Smart Pet Feeder, now priced at $99 (regularly $179.99), is equipped with an AI-powered tracking system that can capture your pet’s activities via a 1080p camera with a 140° wide-angle lens. This means you can keep tabs on your pet’s daily antics—even in the dark, thanks to its infrared night vision. However, there’s a catch: To replay videos, you’ll need a Petkit Care+ subscription, which comes with an additional cost. On the plus side, you can watch live feeds and interact with your pet in real-time using its two-way audio system, and even record a 20-second meal call to add a personal touch to feeding time. Mashable's review notes that the camera has a slight fisheye effect, which adds a humorous touch to the whole experience.

The feeder’s five-liter dual hopper allows you to mix or separate different types of dry food, with kibble sizes up to 12mm, though it isn't compatible with wet food. You can customize feeding times and monitor the feeder’s status through the Petkit app, which also lets you set portion limits and alerts you when the food level is low. As for food freshness and delivery, the smart feeder's auto-shut exit and desiccant bag (replaceable every four weeks) are claimed to help prevent moisture buildup, while its wide chute reduces the risk of blockages. And if you're worried about your pet going thirsty, you might want to check out this matching Petkit water fountain, currently priced at $23.95, down from $29.99.

While the Petkit Automatic Smart Pet Feeder offers impressive customization and monitoring features, it’s not without its limitations. The need for a subscription to access certain features and the lack of wet food compatibility might be deal-breakers for some. And, though the app control is convenient, a few users have mentioned connectivity issues. Also, and this is subjective, the feeder’s capacity might be a bit limiting if you’ve got more than one pet. Comparable models like the Wopet Automatic Pet Feeder, offer similar functionality at a slightly lower price of $89.99.
