The C500 comes with icepacks that keep all slots cool and has a smaller footprint than the PetSafe; it also is lighter as it uses 3-AA batteries. The PetSafe uses 4-D cell batteries. I had extra icepacks for the C500 too so that I could use it for AM and PM cycles (but then I was really curious about the PetSafe so I ended up using that one during one cycle and the C500 during the other).
Chewy, of course is just one supplier - I think I bought my C500 from the manufacturer directly and I think I ended up getting my PetSafe off Amazon. In summary, you can shop around.
Let me know if you have any questions - I am really enthusiastic about auto-feeders
I used both the CatMate C500 and the PetSafe5 (I started off with one feeder and then really liked it so I ended up using one for the AM and one for the PM though you can also use one feeder for both cycles, just have to adjust the timers). The best part about the 5 compartment feeders (IMHO) is you can rotate to an empty spot 2 hours before shot time.
