VOLUAS Automatic Cat Feeder, 4L Timed Dry Food Dispenser for Cats & Dogs

I absolutely love this automatic dog feeder! It was very easy to set up, and I was able to preset my dog’s meals and portion sizes. She gets the right amount of food twice a day automatically, so I no longer have to worry about remembering her feeding times. All I have to do is make sure she has fresh water, and the feeder takes care of the rest. It’s convenient, reliable, and gives me one less thing to worry about. Definitely worth it!

Recently after getting my cat Milo fixed, he’s grown a bigger appetite and wants to eat more than ever. He’s started waking me up SUPER early in the morning for food and won’t let me go back to sleep until he’s fed, no matter how much I try to ignore him. I also tend to have to go out of town frequently for business trips and since my partner accompanies me since they help me run my business, we have to rely on available friends and family to watch him. So an automatic feeder sounded like a good idea between being woken up before the sun and having the added bonus of making sure he gets fed while we’re away in case whoever watches him does not have time to stop by 3 different times throughout the day. I am an older Gen Z cat dad who treats my pets as most people treat their children. I only want the best for my son, Milo, and I’m very picky on quality of things when buying him anything (food, treats, toys, etc.) so I spent awhile trying to find a good cat feeder. I was a bit iffy about spending so much on a cat feeder but I decided to trust the reviews. The quality of everything so far has been excellent. I appreciate the locking mechanism as it’s easy to use but is cat proof so I don’t have to worry about him breaking into the food. I like that the stainless steel bowl is removable so it’ll make future washes a lot easier. My cat has had some minor cat acne on his chin from plastic bowls harboring bacteria and fats and because of this, it was important to me that his next bowl was steel and not plastic. I didn’t really understand the setup at first, but once you realize you need to press AND hold the lock button to set it up, the rest is really easy. I think the voice feature is cool, and though I haven’t used it myself yet, I like that it’s there in case I want to use it especially if I’m gone on a trip I can pre-record a message for him. It’s pretty quiet, doesn’t make a whole lot of noise when dispensing food, only a small whirring noise and the food clinking the bowl while it pours out. I especially enjoy the battery option as a back up in case the power were to ever go out, this is again something important to me as someone who has to go out of town relatively frequently. My very small minor complaint is I wish the manual said how much food is dispensed per portion, as you kind of just have to test it. Please be sure to test the portions using the “hand”/“feed” button before setting up portions per meal to ensure you’re feeding your cat the proper amount as I can guarantee you 1 portion is not as much as you might think it is. As far as value for money goes, I did get this on sale and while I think it was still a little pricey compared to other options, I personally don’t mind spending a little extra to ensure my cat has a good quality product especially for something as important as being fed. Overall, my cat is still learning and understanding exactly what it is and how it works, but he’s slowly starting to understand it and starting to enjoy it. I have peace of mind knowing that once he’s used to it, I will no longer be woken up at unreasonable hours for food and have peace of mind knowing that his care while we’re away is a little more ensured when it comes to making sure he’s fed properly. The setup is relatively easy and the design is nice and has a lot of features I find to be important and beneficial. If you’re looking for an automatic cat feeder but are iffy about spending the money, I think the money is well worth it for a good product.

I’m really happy with this pet-friendly automatic cat feeder! It’s sleek, compact, and works exactly as expected. The setup was simple, it’s easy to clean and I love being able to schedule my cat’s meals so I don’t have to worry about feeding times when I’m busy or away. It dispenses the right amount of food consistently and has been very reliable so far. It’s also a great size without taking up too much space. Very durable and my other one has lasted years. I purchased one a few years ago and made a second purchase after adopting another kitten. Color is accurate to picture. Definitely a great purchase and would recommend to any cat owner!

This automatic pet feeder is a nice, straightforward option for either cats or dogs. Setup and assembly were both really easy, and I didn’t have any trouble getting everything ready to use. The design is pretty basic with a simple white finish, but I actually like that because it blends into the room without standing out. It’s also compact enough to fit nicely into smaller spaces, which is helpful if you don’t have a lot of extra floor space around your pet’s feeding area. The construction feels durable and sturdy enough for regular use, and overall it seems well made for the price. Pros: * Suitable for cats and dogs * Easy setup and assembly * Compact and space-saving * Simple white design * Durable construction * Easy to use * Good value for the money Overall: There’s nothing overly complicated or fancy about this feeder, but that’s part of what makes it convenient. It’s easy to set up, doesn’t take up much room, and feels durable enough for everyday use. Overall, it’s a practical automatic feeder at a reasonable price.

So I bought this cat feeder for a feral cat that we have tamed up and now is pretty friendly. We feed her on our covered back porch where no rain can reach it. Sometimes we go on trips and I needed a proper way to keep feeding her without asking neighbors to help out. We have our share of raccoons and opossums that sometimes visit the back porch so I put this automatic cat feeder inside an old bird cage. I made few modifications including sawing a small opening out on the base of the bird cage to allow the kibbles to fall into the cat bowl. I also mounted the bird cage to a 3x3 piece of painted plywood and put a few bricks on top of the plywood board. So far it works well and no animals have disturbed the cat feeder. (Added note: I can unclip the bird cage from its green base to add food or make adjustments to the feeding schedule, change batteries, etc.) Things I like about the actual automatic pet feeder itself: 1) easy to set up feed times and amounts. I set it to feed the cat once a day at 9:00 am every morning and the food portion amount is set to 11. It’s probably more food than one cat can eat but I wanted to insure she has enough. A setting of 9 or 10 might be better but you can adjust to your size cat. The trick is really not to leave food out at night that will draw in other animals. 2) the cat feeder allows for quite a bit of cat food to be stored in its tank. 3). The recording that plays when the food is dispensed is a nice fun touch. Seems a little soft sounding so not sure my cat even hears it if she is off the porch 4) I like that you can put three size D batteries as backup if the power goes out and the corded power is unavailable. 5) affordable price and fast shipping. 6) small enough to fit inside a bird cage. lol. This is our first trip away testing this unit so I am still making adjustments because I know raccoons can reach their paw/hand up inside a certain length so I might have to make the food drop opening harder to reach up inside. I have a camera watching the unit. Will update this review as necessary. 10/31/2025. Update: automatic feeder still going strong! No issues.

This is one of the best purchases I've made for my cats! I tend to stay late at work, so I can't always feed them on a consistent schedule. This helps to make sure they are on a solid schedule and always get the same portion size! It was very easy to assemble and set-up, and I haven't had any issues with it getting jammed. The cord even comes protected, so my cats don't chew on it! My cats love it now that they're used to it, and I'd say it was a good investment. I would recommend and buy again.

This product was pretty easy to set up. Almost two basic. If you didn't know how to use the technology, It was mild troubleshooting with the proportion size because they didn't actually tell you how big the size is were and they go up from 0 to 12. For my cats I feed them twice a day and portion size number four was perfect for them with the small pieces of food that I feed them. It does have backup batteries that you can install just in case power was to go out which happened on our trip that we left when we bought these feeders and luckily it stayed powered for the entire 8 hours we were out of electricity. I have one feeder inside and one outside for my outside cats. It's enclosed in a cat house to keep away from the elements. Disclaimer: It does say not to use outside but because I sheltered it it's fine. The only modification we had to use was screwing it into the cat house and taping. The lid shut because of possums and or raccoons that we're trying to get into the food or smarter than the latch mechanism itself, but for just cats in general it stopped them. So if you plan on using this for any outdoor cats that aren't in side just be aware it's easy to knock over. Positive: depending on your portion sides of course we were going a whole week and I filled the cat feeder completely full and I ran it a week prior to leaving. Then we got back a week later and it was still very full and it ran for a good month. So the proportion size was great because you can fill it up and just continue running it so you don't have to worry about ever forgetting feed your pets and you can save money with the correct proportion size. Small compact you can record your voice to have your animal come to you that seem to really work on my youngest cat. Food loves me to death and won't eat when I'm gone so that really help with separation anxiety. Cons: It will still continue to try to dispense food when it's empty so you just have to learn to check it and it gives you the option. I believe to feed up to four times a day and it doesn't really go into detail and instructions, but if you just hit zero it won't dispense any food. It just skips that time frame so you can literally put two spots at zero in your feeding time from like 7:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. And leave the other one zeros. But you have to go through each set up in order to feed them the amount of times you feed them. Not knowing what the proportion size were were a trouble shoot. I had to set the timer to go off and then reset it all once I figured out how big and small proportions were. Just overall it's a good simple feeder with very basic setup instructions.

This feeder works almost exactly as described. The clock and timer were very easy to set and worked well. The dispenser worked perfectly with my cat's food, with a setting of 2 doling out almost exactly two tablespoons. I would have given this five stars, but the message recorder is a dreadful. I could never find a microphone (it isn't mentioned in the instructions) and the speaker is actually on the bottom of the unit making it muffled and unintelligible. Fortunately, the sound of the dispenser's whirring and clicking is what my cat responds to, and she figured that out with the second feeding. Now no more early rising just to give the cat some breakfast.

I am amazed at how wonderful this feeder is. My cat came from a shelter with some bad habits. Whenever I went into the kitchen she begged for more food and got louder and louder. This feeder has cured the habit of calling for food. When she hears the kibble falling in her bowl she runs to the kitchen. Peace and quiet in the home now. I found the instructions difficult and would suggest you google it first. I followed the recommended amount of kibble on the package to feed my cat. Weighed the 1/2 cup and divided it by 3 as I choose to feed her 3 times a day. Do several quick feeds to see which program delivers the right amount for you. Mine was program 4.

We chose this cat feeder as it fit all the requirements that we were looking for in an automatic cat feeder. It is very easy to operate, and to leave a message on the audio. Straightforward filling the container with dry cat food, timers set for specific amounts of food throughout the day. Our cat runs to the feeder when the dry food starts dropping into the bowl, and he sits back, politely, until the portion has stopped and then he will politely proceed to eat. We have had the feeder operating for several weeks now and it seems to be working out fine, and we are all pleased with it.

I absolutely love this. It's a huge relief to be able to leave this for my cat when we go on holidays. It's never had any issues, never gotten jammed, nothing. I've had it for quite a few months now and it's perfect. I also appreciate that it doesn't have an app, but it's all programmed on the feeder's interface.

Excelente calidad, los gatos se acostumbran rápido al dispensador, cumple su propósito

So far so good. Easy to install and understand the setting even without looking at the manual. Lets see how long this item will serve my furrbabies! 😻
