Common questions
How does the Bites 2 Lite compare to Furbo?
It handles larger treats, up to about an inch versus Furbo's 1cm, has longer night vision range and costs less. Furbo counters with 360-degree auto-tracking, which the fixed Lite lacks.
What treats work best?
Round, semi-soft treats dispense most consistently, up to about an inch. Sticky or irregular shapes are the main thing to avoid.
Does it have night vision?
Yes, reaching around 30ft, which outperforms most competitors and clearly shows a pet across a dark room.
