The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less.

Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.

Overview

This Minikey feeder holds 6.5 liters of dry food and runs on a corded electric connection, with an ABS and stainless steel body measuring 12.4 by 7.08 by 15.3 inches. It steps up from a typical 1080p camera feeder with a 2K lens, plus night vision, two-way audio and motion detection.

Connectivity covers both 2.4G and 5G WiFi bands over Bluetooth and WiFi, and the listing calls out feeding schedule tracking meant to help with pet weight control and recording a cat's daily routine. The unit is dishwasher safe, which is a step up from several hand-wash-only feeders in this category.

It ships with a charger, desiccant pack, data cable, power adapter and mounting screws, and carries a one-year warranty.
