Automatic Cat Feeder & Dog Food Dispenser with Timer, 2L

This automatic pet feeder holds up to 2 liters of dry food — roughly 8 cups — and releases it on a schedule you set, so your cat or small dog eats at the same times every day whether or not you are home. Choose the button model with an LCD screen for simple offline programming, or the WiFi model to set meals and feed on demand from your phone. Both versions run from a USB power adapter and accept batteries as a backup, so a power cut does not have to mean a missed meal.

Why You’ll Love It

• Consistent meal times. Program the schedule once and the feeder repeats it every day, which makes portion control far easier than free-feeding from a bowl.
• Two ways to control it. Physical buttons with an LCD screen, or app control over WiFi — same feeder body, same 2 L hopper, your choice of interface.
• Backup power built into the design. Batteries take over if the outlet loses power, so scheduled meals still go out.
• Built with pets in mind. A locking lid and a cover over the control buttons make it harder for a determined cat to raid the hopper or change your settings.
• Fast to clean. The bowl, hopper and stirrer lift out for rinsing, so the parts your pet actually touches stay fresh.
• Compact footprint. The upright body is designed to tuck against a wall, under a console or on a countertop without taking over the room.

Key Features

• 2 L / 8-cup dry food hopper. Enough kibble for several days of meals for one cat, so you are not refilling it constantly.
• Programmable daily schedule. The button model supports 1 to 4 meals per day with up to 40 portions per meal. The WiFi model supports 1 to 10 meals per day with 1 to 12 portions per meal.
• LCD control panel (button model). Plus, minus, SET, lock and manual-feed keys let you build the schedule without a phone, an account or an internet connection.
• App control over 2.4 GHz WiFi (WiFi model). Adjust the timer, trigger an extra feed and check the feeding record from your phone.
• Dual power supply. USB adapter for everyday use, with battery backup for outages. Batteries are not included.
• Safety button lock cover. Keeps curious paws and small hands from nudging the schedule out of shape or triggering a spill.
• Locking lid. Designed to resist tampering and to stay put if the feeder gets knocked.
• Anti-stick stirrer. A rotating paddle inside the outlet helps keep kibble moving instead of bridging and jamming.
• Detachable feeding bowl. Lifts off the base for washing, and sits low and wide so your cat is not craning into a deep dish.
• Manual feed option. Dispense a portion on the spot from the panel or the app, outside the schedule.

Product Details

Materials & Construction

The housing, hopper, lid and bowl are formed plastic, which keeps the feeder light enough to move between rooms and easy to wipe down. The hopper sits above the dispensing chamber so gravity does most of the work, while a rotating stirrer at the outlet keeps kibble from packing together. The bowl clips onto the front of the base rather than being fixed to it, so it comes away cleanly for washing. The lid locks down over the hopper, and a cover shields the control keys.

Setting Up Your Feeder

1. Rinse the bowl, hopper insert and stirrer, then dry every part completely. Do not wash the base.
2. Reassemble the feeder and place it on a flat, level surface near an outlet.
3. Connect the USB power adapter. If you want outage protection, install batteries as well.
4. Fill the hopper with dry kibble and close the lid until it locks.
5. Program your meals — on the LCD panel for the button model, or in the app for the WiFi model.
6. Run one manual feed to confirm the portion size looks right before you rely on the schedule.

Capacity & Portion Planning

A 2 L hopper holds close to 8 cups of dry food. Most adult cats eat somewhere between a third of a cup and a full cup a day depending on size and activity, so a full hopper commonly covers a week or more for a single cat, and correspondingly less for two cats or a small dog. Portion sizes are set in the feeder’s own units rather than in cups, so the sensible approach is to dispense one portion manually, measure what lands in the bowl, and work backwards from your pet’s daily target.

• Use it with dry kibble of a fairly uniform size — very large, very small or irregular pieces are more likely to jam.
• Split the daily ration across several small meals rather than one large one to discourage gulping.
• Top the hopper up before it empties so the stirrer always has food to move.

Perfect For

• Cats who eat better from several small meals than one big bowl
• Owners with long or unpredictable work days who cannot be home at feeding time
• Households managing a cat’s weight with measured portions
• Early risers who would rather not be woken up for breakfast duty
• Overnight trips and weekends away, paired with a large water source
• Anyone who wants to see from their phone whether a meal actually went out

Care & Cleaning

• Wash the bowl every few days with warm water and mild dish soap.
• Empty and rinse the hopper and stirrer whenever you change food, and at least monthly otherwise.
• Dry every part thoroughly before reassembling — damp kibble sticks and clogs the outlet.
• Do not immerse or rinse the base, which houses the electronics. Wipe it with a barely damp cloth instead.
• Check the outlet for stray pieces of kibble when you refill.
• Remove the batteries if you are storing the feeder unused for a long stretch.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much food does it hold?

The hopper takes 2 liters of dry food, which is about 8 cups. For one average adult cat that is usually a week or more of meals.

What is the difference between the button model and the WiFi model?

The button model is programmed directly on its LCD panel and needs no phone, app or network. The WiFi model is set up and controlled from your phone, supports a longer schedule of up to 10 meals a day, and keeps a feeding record you can check remotely.

Does the WiFi model work on a 5 GHz network?

No. It connects only to 2.4 GHz WiFi. If your router broadcasts both bands under one name, you may need to separate them or temporarily turn off 5 GHz on your phone while you pair the feeder.

Will it still feed my cat during a power cut?

Yes, provided batteries are installed. The feeder runs from the USB adapter normally and falls back to batteries if that supply is interrupted. Batteries are not included.

Can I run it on batteries alone?

The button model can. The WiFi model draws considerably more power to hold its wireless connection, so it should stay plugged into the USB adapter, with batteries used only as backup.

Can I use wet or raw food in it?

No. This is a gravity-fed dry food dispenser with no cooling, so it suits kibble only.

Can two cats share one feeder?

They can share the hopper, but not the portions — the feeder cannot tell which cat is at the bowl, so a faster eater will get more than their share. For cats on different diets or portion sizes, one feeder each works far better.

Can my cat get the lid open?

The lid locks shut and there is a cover over the control buttons, both of which make casual raiding harder. A very determined cat can still push a lightweight feeder around, so placing it against a wall or in a corner helps.
