We sell a small line-up on purpose: two feeders, a few versions. Here's the honest breakdown of who each one suits — including the version we'd tell you not to buy for your situation.
4L Button version — the reliable minimalist
Everything is set on the device itself: meal times, portion sizes, done. No app, no WiFi, nothing to pair. If your router is temperamental, you don't love apps, or the feeder lives somewhere WiFi doesn't reach, this is the one. The trade-off: to change the schedule, you do it at the feeder.
4L Smart version (2.4G WiFi) — schedule from your phone
Same feeder, plus app control. Adjust meal times and portions from anywhere — useful when plans change mid-day or the family shares feeding duties. One thing to check first: it connects over 2.4GHz WiFi, so your router needs a 2.4G band (almost all do, but it's worth confirming).
Smart Feeder with Camera — for the check-in-ers
Everything the Smart version does, plus an HD camera and two-way audio. If you travel, work long shifts, or just like seeing breakfast happen, this is the version you'll actually use daily. It comes in White or Black, and in USB-only or US-plug variants.
The short answer
- Set-and-forget, no apps: 4L Button
- Remote control of the schedule: 4L Smart (2.4G WiFi)
- Remote control + eyes on your pet: Smart Feeder with Camera
