PetSafe Healthy Pet Simply Feed Power Adaptor - Durable OEM Food Dispenser Adaptor - Travel-Friendly Spare Charger with Versatile Voltage Compatibility - Additional Power Source Minimizes Downtime

I love this pet feeder. I bought this in November of 2018, it still works like a charm! The clock is a little slow, you may have to adjust it every now and then to correct the current time, but it doesn't stop the feeder from feeding your animals, it just may be 5 to 10 minutes off. Not a big deal.My only slightly negative is, it is a bit cumbersome to clean, but it's not horrible, I've had other pet feeders that were way worse to clean.I totally recommend this pet feeder. 2 years old and still going strong!

Works well with our PetSafe feeder for our dog. Previously we were going through a lot of batteries. We still keep batteries in the feeder as back up in case the power goes off or it becomes unplugged

Seems to work as advertised, supplies power to my Petsafe Simply Feed automatic feeder. I agree with other reviewers that the AC adapter cord should have been included with the automatic feeder and not sold separately. I mean, just the feeder was $100, did they really need to squeeze me for another 12 bucks?I will update if it stops working, but so far, so good. I'm in the testing phase to make sure the feeder will perform as programmed for number of/frequency of/ portion size of meals but in the end, this is just a cord and it should be fine.

Great addition to the feeder so batteries can be used only for backup.

This is a great feeder but as everyone has said, complicated to program. That is our Biggest gripe. Also, the first one CAME with the adapter, and using batteries is a pain and short-lived. So not happy with this attempt on their behalf to sell unit for under $100 by taking the adaptor off and selling it separately. Find that to be a bit cheap on their behalf. Otherwise, it is very long-lived, durable, and we keep ours outside on the back porch and it does just fine. We get temps in single digits in the winter and it has never cracked. But our last one quit for no reason. We tore it apart and the mechanics simply gummed up and stopped working. Instead of attempting to clean piece by piece and tearing it completely apart we felt it was worth buying a new unit instead. Right now as my husband attempts to program it using our own miserable batteries (very unhappy not having the adaptor included and the last one was chewed partly through by mice) he is cursing it. They really need to simplify the programming, otherwise it is an outstanding unit, very reliable, and even when power went off then resumed the unit automatically continued to do its' job. So 4 stars for reliability and the fact that it holds lots of food for at least 2 weeks for our labrador, but one less due to complexity for programming and NO ADAPTOR. I think their fee is pretty steep already, let alone removing the adaptor and selling it separate. Kind of a cheap method of making more money in my opinion.

I hoped my cats would stop nagging us to check their (not empty) food dish, and it worked. Once they learned that small quantities of food would appear at regular intervals throughout the day and night, they became a lot less stressed about food. Not only did they stop getting upset about a tiny spot of exposed dish at the bottom, they stopped crowding around the dish when the food arrives and gulping it down. Bonus...they're actually eating less and are finally the weights the vet recommended.It also gives us a little more peace of mind when we travel, knowing that if for some reason the person checking on them were to miss a day they'll still have food.And contrary to the popular axiom, of course the kitties still demand snuggles, sit on our laps, sleep on our feet, and are wonderful companions. If anything they're more cuddley because they don't spend any time fussing about food.If I could change anything, it would be for the dish to be a little farther away from the base. We propped up the back of the dish a bit so the food would slide to the front, giving them more whisker room.

Should this be included with the pet feeder purchase? Yes. Does it save me from having to buy expensive batteries to run it? Also, yes. Works well, wish the price were a little lower, but still worth it.

Works for the cat feeder as stated. I leave batteries in the feeder as a failsafe in case we lose power.
