The bowl will not slide, and this is dishwasher safe, thus cleaning and maintaining this system is made easier.
Understanding How the Wonder Bowl Feeder Works

Once the technology has detected the tags, the unit will open up, and the identified cat is given access to the food.

Cons
- There is a chance that the lid will close the lid in case the cats will move its heads to the sides. The infrared technology is very sensitive to movement.
The tags are too large and heavy, and sometimes these tags will pull their necks low- Weak batteries, will not last for a long time.
- There is a chance that the tag cannot be detected if the cat reaches for the bottom of the bowl. The bowl is too deep.
- You may need to buy more tags if you want to feed multiple cats in your house
Tips on How to Use the Wonderbowl the Best Way - As mentioned, the batteries will not last for long so it is recommended that users should invest in an AC adapter.
- Make sure you attach the tag directly on the cat’s collar so that the sensor can easily read the tags.
- If the lid closes as soon as your pets move their heads, then it is recommended that you buy more sensor that can work with the unit.
My final conclusion
This Wonder Bowl is an interesting automatic wet food cat feeder that comes with reliable technology.
This is equipped with an infrared sensor, which will then detect the appropriate tags that are worn by the pets.
While the technology looks promising, this product comes with some limitations, as noted by some customers and users:
- Some pet owners noticed that the unit will automatically close the lid as soon as it loses contact with the tag. This normally happens when the cats adopt an awkward position when eating, or when they move their heads to the sides. Also, some pet owners noted the large construction of the tags which are heavy to wear for small cats.
- To make this cat food dispenser work better, users need to adjust the configurations of the pet feeder.
- Also, the lid will open if the cats are 2 feet away from the unit. This means that the lid and the food will be opened for cats, even if the cats are just walking by.
Based on customer reviews and experiences and our own tests of the unit, we have found out that this cat feeder will not easily work with small cats or nervous cats.
If you want to get one, we recommend that you adjust first the unit in order for it to work properly.
But if you have cats that require a specific diet, or into the prescription diet, we recommend that you give this Wonder Bowl a try.
You just need to make sure that your pets are properly trained on how to use the unit, and you can also add some more tags and sensors in case you have multiple cats or other pets in your household.
