Wi-Fi Automatic Pet Feeder, 1.2 gal (4.5 L) with LCD and App

This automatic feeder holds 4.5 liters of dry food in a see-through hopper and dispenses it on a schedule, so meals arrive on time even when you are not home. An LCD screen on the front sets the timing and portions, and the Wi-Fi connection and phone app let you manage feeding from anywhere. There is also a play-recording feature, so you can record a message for your pet.

The body is made of ABS plastic with 304 stainless steel, and you get a stainless steel feeding bowl as well as a plastic one, so you can use whichever suits your pet. It is made for cats and small and medium dogs. The design aims at a smooth flow with no blocked food outlet, and the unit runs from a USB power adapter or on three No. 1 (D-size) batteries kept as a backup, so a power outage does not interrupt a meal. The batteries are not included.

The feeder body measures about 7.3 x 7.3 x 14.3 inches (185 x 185 x 362 mm), not counting the bowl, and the rated voltage is 5 V DC. Packed, it weighs between about 3.2 and 5.2 lb (1.45-2.34 kg), depending on the version. Use dry food that fits through the outlet, wash the bowl and hopper regularly, and keep the main unit dry. Test a few meals while you are home before you rely on it for a long trip.
