Our take
If you want one feeder that does everything well — camera, app, scheduling, backup power — this is it. Wired and Good Housekeeping both named it their top pick, and the Petlibro app is consistently praised as the most intuitive in the category.
If you have a medium-to-large dog who inhales food, the Slow Feed setting alone is worth the price. No other feeder in this range offers that combination of large bowl, app control, and Alexa integration.
