Pawsync
Automated food dispenser

The Pawsync automated food dispenser has been specially developed to make it easier for pet owners to feed their pets and at the same time ensure precise control of the amount of food. The 3.6-litre container provides up to a 20-day supply for cats and small dogs. Functions such as app-controlled feeding, integrated scales and Jam-Fix technology offer convenient handling. We were particularly impressed by the reliability of the food dispenser and the hygienic finish with BPA-free plastic and stainless steel. Feeding schedules can be created quickly and easily using the app. It would be desirable to be able to dispense not only dry food but also wet food in order to be more flexible. Overall, the Pawsync food dispenser delivers a solid performance that meets the requirements of modern pet owners.

  • Precise and smart feed control via the app
  • Stable and robust construction
  • Easy cleaning thanks to stainless steel feeding tray
  • Effective anti-clogging technology
  • Only suitable for dry food

The first impression

Packaging and contents

Here we take a closer look at packaging. Sustainability is becoming an increasingly important factor. In addition, adequate protection of the product must of course also be guaranteed. Are the contents of the packaging complete and does the manufacturer make it as easy as possible for me to use the product straight away?

The Pawsync food dispenser was delivered safely and neatly packaged. The packaging was perfectly adapted to the size of the product and provided excellent protection during transport. All the necessary parts, including easy-to-understand instructions for use, were included. On a positive note, the product protection left nothing to be desired: The food dispenser arrived undamaged and without scratches or soiling.

One point of criticism, however, is the lack of focus on sustainability in the packaging. There was no indication as to whether environmentally friendly materials such as recycled paper or cardboard were used. Overall, however, the food dispenser leaves a very positive impression: the packaging appeared functional and of high quality, and the product was delivered in perfect condition. The supplied instructions for use are clearly understandable and make it easy to get started with the food dispenser.

The Pawsync food dispenser impresses with its modern and high-quality appearance. The main body is made of robust plastic, which is not only durable but also has no flaws in its workmanship. The stainless steel feeding bowl complements the design and also offers practical advantages as it is easy to clean and hygienic. The stability of the product is particularly noteworthy: even with lively pets, the dispenser remains securely in place without tipping over.

However, there is no information on the sustainability of the materials, which would be desirable for a product in this price range. Nevertheless, the high material quality speaks in favour of a long service life, which could have a positive impact on the environmental balance. The combination of attractive design, robust materials and functional construction makes the food dispenser a reliable companion for pet owners. These features justify the premium claim of the appliance and make it a worthwhile investment for everyday use.

In the practical test, the Pawsync food dispenser was able to confirm its positive initial impression. Food dispens ing ran smoothly and without delays in all tests.

It was easy to create customised schedules that were adhered to precisely.

The amount of feed dispensed was largely in line with the specifications, although there were occasional minimal deviations. However, these deviations did not affect use.

The feed dispenser also demonstrated excellent compatibility with different types and sizes of dry food. In every test, the food types were dispensed evenly and reliably. Overall, the Pawsync food dispens er fulfils the manufacturer’s specifications and offers a reliable solution for the automated feeding of dogs and cats.
