Common questions
Is the Feeder-Robot worth the higher price?
It makes most sense if you have had feeders jam before. Its anti-jam mechanism handles larger kibble that clogs cheaper models, which is its main reason to exist.
Does it have a camera?
No. It focuses on reliable dispensing and app control rather than monitoring. For a camera, look at the Granary Camera model.
Who makes it?
Whisker, the company behind the Litter-Robot, and it shares the same engineering approach to reliability.
