The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less.

Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.

Overview

['The YOWMOFT YM01 is a combination automatic feeder and water fountain built for cats and small pets. On the food side it holds 3 liters of dry kibble and can dispense up to 10 portions across 1 to 4 scheduled meals a day, and it runs on either a wired connection or batteries, so a power outage does not necessarily mean a missed meal. A separate filtered water dispenser sits alongside it for fresh drinking water.', 'The housing is made of plastic and stainless steel with a modern black finish, and it measures roughly 6.9 in by 10.18 in by 8 in. A desiccant bag is included to help keep the dry food from getting stale or damp in the hopper. The manufacturer lists the unit as hand wash only, so it is not something you can toss in a dishwasher.', 'With 267 reviews and a 3.8 star average, buyer feedback is mixed rather than glowing, and the 50 units bought in the past month is on the modest side for this category. A 2 year manufacturer warranty offers some reassurance for a lower-rated pick.']

Pros

  • Combines a timed dry food dispenser with a filtered water fountain in one unit
  • Works on wired power or batteries, so outages do not stop feeding
  • Includes a desiccant bag to help keep kibble dry
  • Backed by a 2 year manufacturer warranty

Cons

  • 3.8 star average is lower than most competing feeders in this category
  • Hand wash only, no dishwasher safe parts listed
  • 267 reviews and 50 purchases last month is a smaller sample than top sellers

Built from plastic and stainless steel, the YM01 holds 3 liters of dry food and can be set for up to 10 portions across 1 to 4 meals daily. It measures about 6.9 in by 10.18 in by 8 in and runs on wired power or batteries.

What buyers say

A 3.8 star average across 267 reviews is softer than many feeders in this roundup, and the 50 units bought last month suggests steady but modest demand rather than a standout bestseller.

Frequently asked questions

Will it still feed my cat if the power goes out?

Yes, the YM01 is listed as wire or battery powered, so it can keep running on batteries if the wired connection is interrupted.

Does it provide water as well as food?

Yes, it includes a separate filtered water fountain alongside the 3 liter dry food dispenser, so one unit covers both feeding and hydration.

How do I clean it?

The manufacturer lists it as hand wash only, so plan on cleaning the food and water sections by hand rather than in a dishwasher.
