ARO Slow Feeder™ v1 to v2 Upgrade Kit
Launch Price: This upgrade kit is available at a special launch price through the end of July. After July, the price will increase to $60.
The ARO Slow Feeder™ v1 to v2 Upgrade Kit lets existing v1 owners upgrade to the new rechargeable v2 feed mechanism without replacing the entire Slow Feeder.
This kit includes the new v2 feeding mechanism only. Your existing hopper, cap, silicone bellows, and grinder adapter remain compatible and can be transferred directly onto the new v2 feed mechanism.
Once upgraded, you will have a complete ARO Slow Feeder™ v2. See the full ARO Slow Feeder™ details here: ARO Slow Feeder™.
What’s Upgraded
- USB-C rechargeable battery: Replaces disposable batteries with a built-in rechargeable lithium-ion battery.
- Upgraded electronics: Improved control system for the new rechargeable v2 platform.
- LED status light: Displays power, charging, full battery, low battery, and jam-recovery status.
- Auto-reverse jam recovery: Detects resistance, briefly reverses the feed plate, then resumes forward feeding.
- 5-minute auto shutoff: Automatically powers off if left running.
