Cheerble Debuts Pet Feeder Match G1 With On-Device Facial Recognition at CES 2026

Cheerble targets multi-cat households with a privacy-first, locally processed design.

Overview

  • The company is demonstrating the feeder at CES 2026 in Las Vegas, with the unit on display at the Venetian Expo, Booth 56546.
  • Cheerble says Edge-AI facial recognition grants food access with 99.9% accuracy and works without collars or RFID tags.
  • The system is built for multi-cat homes, supporting up to six cats and enforcing per-pet diets via app-based Match Mode or All Pet Mode, with feeding logs for owners.
  • The company highlights a short-range infrared camera that processes and stores data on-device, no microphone or cloud uploads, and an LED that shows when the camera is active.
  • A controlled feeding dome admits only one cat and aims to block dogs, while a whisker-friendly, dishwasher-safe stainless-steel bowl and an integrated ice tray address comfort and freshness; preorders are slated for Q2 2026 at $259 with a waitlist available.
