Anykuu 4 L timer feeder review

A 4-liter hopper with a semi-transparent body, portions of roughly 7 to 9 grams, a ten-second voice recording and a battery backup alongside the USB-C supply.

What we take from it The most informative cheap feeder here. A stated gram figure and a real battery backup are worth more than an app at this price.

What it is

A 4-liter hopper feeder with a semi-transparent body, one to six meals a day, one to twenty portions per meal at roughly 7 to 9 grams each, a ten-second voice recording, and USB-C power with three D cells as backup.

The gram figure

Anykuu is one of the few manufacturers in this class to publish what a portion weighs. That single number turns the feeder from an approximation into an instrument: a cat on 55 grams a day is six or seven portions, split however you like, and you can set that on the first evening instead of adjusting for a week.

Backup that works

Mains through USB-C, with D cells behind it. The distinction that matters — and it is worth checking in the manual of any feeder — is whether the batteries keep the machine feeding or merely keep the clock running. Fit them before a trip, not after.

Seeing the level

A semi-transparent hopper sounds trivial until you are away and someone else is checking on the house. “Is there food in it?” becomes a glance rather than a disassembly.

Availability

No such listing: the American Amazon shop answers the reference with a search box rather than a page.

Read from Keepa on the day this page was last revised; stock and price both move without notice.

What we rate, and what we flag up

Strengths

  • Publishes a portion weight in grams — rare in this class, and the number you actually need
  • Battery backup as well as mains: the schedule survives a power cut
  • Semi-transparent hopper, so the level is visible without opening the lid
  • Cheapest feeder with a stated portion weight in this group

Compromises

  • Batteries are not included, and a backup you have not fitted is not a backup
  • Dry kibble only
  • Not listed on Amazon US at the time of checking

The questions owners ask

Why does a stated portion weight matter?

Because "one portion" means nothing without it. If you know a portion is roughly 7 to 9 grams, you can set a daily ration from the number on the food bag instead of guessing and adjusting for a week. Most feeders in this price range leave you to work it out.

Is the voice recording useful or a gimmick?

It is a call to the bowl, and cats do learn it. Whether it earns its place is personal — what it definitely does is confirm to a nervous animal that the noise it just heard is dinner rather than the machine misbehaving.

Does it keep feeding on batteries?

Anykuu describes the three D cells as a backup when mains power fails. Fit them before you leave rather than after: the entire value of a backup is that it is already in place on the day the power goes.
