[Deal du jour] If your cat or dog often asks for kibble, a connected dispenser can be useful when you are not at home. This model from Xiaomi is inexpensive at its base price, but becomes much more interesting at (almost) half the price.
What is the promotion on this kibble dispenser?
The Xiaomi Smart Pet Food Feeder normally sells for 129.99. It is currently offered on the official Xiaomi website at a price of €69.99.
What is this kibble dispenser?
The Xiaomi Smart Pet Food Feeder is a connected kibble dispenser for cats and dogs. More imposing than a bowl, its dimensions of 311 × 180 × 387 mm for a weight of 3 kg allow a total capacity of 3.6 L, for approximately 2 kg of kibble, or around twenty days of food. It’s certainly not the most discreet of accessories, but it will easily fit in your companion’s dining area, preferably near a wall outlet. Note that it comes with a 1.5m long power cord.
Design-wise, the soft silicone stirrer and dispensing blades allow for smooth dispensing that prevents food from getting stuck. To maintain meal quality, the silicone lid seal prevents kibble from oxidizing, while desiccant cartridges keep food dry and fresh. All of these accessories, as well as the stainless steel bowl, are very easy to clean to keep the appliance clean.
Is this kibble dispenser worth it at this price?
Less than €70, it’s a very good deal if you are regularly away and leave your pets alone. The Smart Pet Food Feeder allows you to distribute Bernies kibble automatically and remotely, using the Xiaomi Home application, available on iOS and Android. You will be able to control the time and distribution wherever you are. The app also allows you to automate meals, and set a fixed feeding time and quantity. Via the app, you always have an eye on the remaining quantities of food and the status of the distribution.
Please note that in the event of a power outage, emergency battery power guarantees regular distribution. Note that Xiaomi does not recommend the use of the Smart Pet Food Feeder for pets younger than three months and large dogs. Finally, it is recommended to replace the desiccant cartridge every month.
