VOLUAS Automatic Cat Feeder, 4L Timed Dry Food Dispenser for Cats & Dogs | Programmable Portion Control, Up to 4 Meals Daily, Dual Power Supply, Power-Off Memory, 10-Second Voice Recorder

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!

Day 1 Easy to use, set up, and clean. I love everything about it. Purina Pro Plan kibble works, they're 7-9mm i think. 3 "portions" shown in the video, product claims 6-7 grams per portion. I put a sturdy box under it to elevate the bowl so my cats don't throw up. Personally found that both of my cats ~9lbs and ~17lbs eat about 3-4 "portions" each and i intend to feed them 3 times a day depending on how they take it. Note: first or second "portion" when new may not go through since it does the gumball machine twist. don't worry. The bowl attachment slips out easily so you can tape it if you need to elevate it bc the metal bowl comes out easily anyway to clean.

I don’t write a lot of reviews, but this feeder deserves a great one. I purchased this last summer to feed my cats while I vacationed. I had someone coming in to care for them twice daily but the cats are used to getting small meals, 4 times a day. This feeder is easy to program and has several portion control options, but the main reason I came back to write this review is its durability. We left this feeder on our screened porch for our outdoor cat and we had TWO raccoons break in to try to raid it. Our camera revealed that they rolled it, drug it around by the cord, jumped on it, and clawed at it for over two hours but they were not successful in opening it. It has a few scratches here and there but it’s working perfectly! The battery backup even kept all the settings for two days. Impressive feeder!

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.

I wish I had bought this feeder much sooner. Our beagle mix has to be fed three small meals a day to prevent bilious vomiting. With our busy schedules, it is hard to keep to the exact same feeding time daily, and when we don't, she vomits. This feeder reliably feeds the same amount every day, every time and it has been life-changing. Side effect - her weight is well-maintained because there is no more confusion about when/if/how much she has been fed. It is also super easy to clean and program. Highly recommend!

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.

Great Feeder! Here's an Easy Weather and Raccoon Resistance Solution for Outdoor Feeding. I purchased the VOLUAS 4-Litre feeder to feed a few of feral cats who also invite their rowdy friends Mr. Opossum and Rocky the Raccoon. Rocky in particular has really bad table manners as he will eat the entire bowl of food, with nothing remaining for the cats or the poor little possum. Feeding multiple times over the course of the night with the VOLUAS automatic feeder elegantly took care of that. I manually fill the bowl at dusk when I put the feeder out, and then the feeder is set to dispense 4 meals over the course of the night, so that even if the raccoon consumes a whole meal, the cats and possum will come by later on and still get fed. (I set up a wildlife camera and found that this process works very well, with the whole menagerie well fed and happy.) I had but one problem: It rains a bit here in South Florida, actually it rains a good deal, in fact, it rains so much that I'm building an ark in my spare time! I couldn't find a feeder that was weather resistant, but came up with a very easy and inexpensive way to remedy that. A five-gallon bucket from either the blue or orange big-box store is easily modified to cover the entire feeder, with only a small opening for the bowl to protrude. It's like the engineer who designed the feeder had this in mind; that's how well it fits. The feeder is both protected from rain, and protected from the destructive effects of direct sunlight. If you set the feeder up in a remote location, the bucket makes it very easy and comfortable to carry the feeder and bowl back and forth to the house. Note: This works for the 4-Litre style, the larger feeders won't fit. If you'll examine the photos, you can see that the only modification to the bucket is to make two small vertical cuts with a hacksaw from the rim, then score horizontally with a utility knife. The piece then easily snaps off, and the modification is complete. I suggest placing a heavy weight (The concrete frog in my case.) on top to prevent the bucket and feeder getting tipped over, and to further secure the food storage compartment. The VOLUAS automatic feeder works great, I can only think of one wish, and that would be to add a "Bypass" Button so that if I want to skip feeding for a day or two, I can just put the unit in Bypass until I want to begin the feeding cycle again. This is a small nitpick, not a complaint, just a wish for the future. Bottom line: I give the VOLUAS automatic feeder a full Five Stars for both price and functionality.

I have it set to go off four times a day with various amounts (I account for treats and one meal of wet food). I can't remember exactly but I think a single portion of dry food on the machine equals 7.5 grams. Its on their website which you'll find 8n the package on a card. Now this thing goes off when it wants. The last meal is supposed to go off at 10pm. The first at 7am. Ive heard it go off at 12 am and like 5 am. It still gives the correct portions and only goes off 4 times a day so its fine really but does go off at random times. Is it worth cintacting and getting a replacement? Not really, mostly because its plugged into an extension cord and electronics in general can become wonky if not plugged directly into a power source. Im also too lazy to plug it directly into a wall to see if thats the problem lol She still eats so thags all I care about. The two middle meals go off at the proper times, which is another reason why I believe it to be a power issue, at night and early morning the AC is on and devices are being charged. Its very easy to use and put together (its literally like a few pieces that stack and slide together) and recording the message was very easy. Love that it can use a battery which I suggest because I've had a random power outage and knowing my baby didnt get to eat until the power came on sucks. Bowl quality is fine if you don't put ANY liquids in it. No medicine, no water and no chicken broth. By a seperate little small bowl for that. This bowl isnt made for liquids, as the metal wore down after I put my cats liquid supplement in the bowl. I knew better but was in a rush. At least wipe it down IMMEDIATELY if you have to. Despite my issues I still recommend it. Sure you can find better and MAYBE cheaper options but this is fine and does what its supposed to.

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! 😻
