A hopper that tops the bowl up as they eat.
There is no motor, no timer and no battery, so nothing can fail while you are out. Kibble slides down as the pet empties the bowl, and it keeps doing that until the hopper runs out.

Why you'll love it
Powered feeders jam, lose their schedule in a power cut and run down their batteries. A hopper has no failure mode more complicated than running out, which is the one thing you can check before you leave.
A cat that picks at food through the day suits this perfectly. A dog that will eat until the hopper is empty does not. For those, portioned meals matter more than convenience, and this is the wrong tool.
Kibble left in a bowl goes stale and attracts insects, and nothing here portions or refrigerates. Treat it as cover for a night away or a long day at work.
Good fit if
Look elsewhere if
Fill the hopper, and kibble falls into the bowl until the bowl is full enough to block the opening. As the animal eats, the level drops, the blockage clears and more falls through. The cycle repeats until the hopper empties. That is the entire mechanism, and its appeal is that there is nothing in it to go wrong.
It is worth being clear about what this does not do. It is not a portion control device and it is not a scheduled feeder. Food is continuously available, so the animal decides how much it eats and when. For a grazer that self regulates, that is ideal. For an animal that will eat whatever is in front of it, it is the wrong tool and will steadily add weight.
Two things stop a gravity feeder flowing. The first is bridging, where kibble arches across the opening and holds itself up so nothing falls through even though the hopper is full. Larger, irregular kibble bridges more readily than small round pieces. The second is moisture, which makes the pieces tacky enough to clump against the walls.
Both are worth testing with your own food before you rely on it. Fill the hopper, let the animal eat down a full bowl, and check that it refilled. A feeder that has bridged looks exactly like a feeder that is working, right up to the moment you find an empty bowl under a full hopper.
The twin bowl version runs food and water side by side, and water behaves better in a gravity hopper than food does because liquid cannot bridge. Change it daily regardless of the level, since a reservoir that is topped up but never emptied grows a film inside where you cannot see it.
A loaded hopper is top heavy, which is why the wide base matters. Set it against a wall rather than in open floor, and take the hopper off the base to wash rather than wiping around it. Dust and fine kibble crumb collect in the channel where the two meet, and that is the part that goes stale and starts to smell.

The details
Loved by real pet parents
It works exactly as described, the hopper feeds the bowl as she eats and I have not had to think about it since. The grey is a light silvery shade rather than the darker tone I expected from the photo.
I had a powered feeder before that lost its schedule every time the electric tripped. This has no motor, no timer and no batteries, so the only thing that can happen is that it runs out, and I can see that before I leave.
We took the twin version so food and water sit in one unit and the cats have stopped drinking out of the bath. It is 28.5 cm wide, which fits neatly along the wall in the utility room.
Fine feeder, easy to fill, and she cannot tip it over. With one hungry cat the single bowl version runs down in about a day and a half, so it covers an evening out rather than a weekend.
Our previous feeder went over within a week because she leans on the rim to reach the last of the food. The base on this is wide enough that all her shoving achieves nothing at all.
The top comes away from the base in one piece so filling it is easy and you can get a cloth right round the inside. Ours feeds two cats in an outbuilding and it has given us no trouble at all.
She picks at food all day rather than eating meals, so a hopper that keeps the bowl topped up suits her exactly. I would not use it for a dog that eats until it is empty, but for a cat who nibbles it is ideal.
No dishwasher for this one, and the hopper is a narrow shape to get a hand inside. I use a bottle brush and leave it to air dry overnight, which means a day back on the old bowl. Otherwise it does the job well.
It is simple and it does not jam, and I like that there is nothing electrical in it. What I would say is the kibble sitting in the bowl goes stale by the second day and it does not portion anything, so it is cover for a long day rather than a break away. I bought it expecting more than it is meant to do.
Good questions
No, and the supplier's own listing title is misleading on that. It is a gravity hopper: it refills the bowl continuously and has no timer, no motor and no portion control. If you need timed meals, buy a powered feeder instead.
Yes, in the twin bowl version one side is intended for water. Change it daily, as standing water in a hopper goes stale faster than most people expect.
No. It does the opposite: food is always available. It suits a cat that self regulates, not one that needs portions.
No. It has no motor, timer or battery. Food is available continuously until the hopper empties, which is the point of the design and also its main limitation.
No, the opposite. Food is always available, so it suits animals that graze and self regulate. For a pet that eats whatever is in front of it, use measured meals instead.
It depends entirely on how much your animal eats. Fill it, note how far the level drops in a day, and work from that rather than from the stated capacity.
