PETLIBRO Polar Smart Wet Food Feeder

Polar is the lower-priced option in this pair, with three app-scheduled compartments, a current U.S. stainless-steel bowl, and a manufacturer-listed 200 ml (6.76 oz) serving size. PETLIBRO reports cooling food to around 54°F at 77°F room temperature, but this is a company lab result, not independent validation. The product page showed conflicting sold-out and preorder controls, so current availability is unclear.

1. Three rotating compartments. The tray moves a chosen compartment under a sliding lid; it is not a hopper or a selective-access feeder.
2. U.S. serving size is 200 ml (6.76 oz). The U.S. product page lists this per serving. Do not multiply it into a total capacity; the aggregate fill amount was not verified. Regional pages show different figures.
3. Cooling evidence is manufacturer-reported. PETLIBRO says its lab reached around 54°F at 77°F ambient and recommends operation at 54–86°F. No independent controlled food-temperature test was located.
4. Cooling pauses before service. PETLIBRO’s FAQ says cooling pauses for about 30 minutes before a serving. The opened compartment is not a closed refrigerator.
5. Backup batteries are for schedule continuity. Three AA batteries (not included) are advertised to keep the schedule running during an outage; its 8H heading and 12-hour explanatory text conflict; this does not establish that refrigeration continues on battery.
6. The U.S. page displayed $169.99. Its purchase controls showed both sold-out and preorder states alongside delivery copy, so stock is unclear. Price and availability can change.

• Schedule meals and manage feeding in the PETLIBRO app over 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi; the maker lists Android and iOS 13 or later.
• Use the corded adapter for normal operation. Add three AA batteries only if you want the advertised schedule backup during an outage.
• Remove leftovers after the feeding plan and clean the bowl and connection area as directed. PETLIBRO advises against raw food because perishability and shelf life vary.

• Current U.S. listing shows a stainless-steel bowl that PETLIBRO says is dishwasher-safe up to 212°F/100°C.
• Lower listed U.S. price than FreshFeed: $169.99 versus $249.99 at the research check.
• Optional AA backup is advertised to preserve scheduled feeding during an outage.

• Three compartments offer fewer scheduled portions than FreshFeed’s six.
• The cooling result is PETLIBRO’s own lab claim; food-temperature performance has not been independently validated here.
• Stock status on the U.S. page was inconsistent, and the backup claim covers schedule continuation rather than proven cooling.

App: PETLIBRO app, 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi, Android or iOS 13+. Supports scheduled and manual feeding. No mandatory app subscription was identified.

Power: Corded adapter, AC input 100–240 V at 50/60 Hz and DC 12 V/5 A output. Three AA backup batteries are optional and not included. Adapter output is not a measurement of electricity use.

Cleaning: The current U.S. listing identifies a dishwasher-safe stainless bowl (up to 212°F/100°C). Wipe and dry the cooling area; avoid directing water at the refrigeration section. Remove leftovers after a feeding plan, and clean the bowl connection area at least weekly.

Cost: $169.99 displayed on the U.S. product page when checked. Three AA cells are optional; no required subscription or recurring consumable was identified. Price and stock may change.

The product page’s “8H” heading conflicts with its 12-hour explanatory backup text. Confirm the exact unit/revision; neither statement establishes refrigeration on batteries.

Scores: Not scored. A suitable supported assessment for chilled-compartment use has not been established; no numerical rating is assigned.

Liz Coleman at Cats.com reports several weeks of testing with two cats, including setup, app use, feeding acceptance, and cleaning. The review describes a plastic food dish and does not establish that it tested the current U.S. stainless-bowl variant; bowl-specific findings should not be transferred. It does not report controlled temperature measurements. TIME’s product coverage quotes company claims but is not a hands-on temperature test.

Does Polar keep food at refrigerator temperature? PETLIBRO reports around 54°F at 77°F room temperature from its own lab test. This is not independent validation or a food-safety holding-time certification. Follow the food maker’s storage directions.

Does the battery backup keep food cold? The maker advertises continued scheduled feeding for 12 hours using three AA batteries. Its claim does not establish that refrigeration runs on battery.

Can I use raw food? PETLIBRO’s U.S. FAQ advises against raw food because perishability and shelf life vary. Follow the food maker’s instructions.

Is 200 ml the combined capacity? No such aggregate capacity was verified. The U.S. page lists 200 ml (6.76 oz) per serving; do not assume the total by multiplication.
