PETLIBRO Automatic Cat Feeder for 2 Cats, 5G&2.4G WiFi, 5L, Dual Stainless Steel Bowls Review (2026)

Who this feeder suits

PETLIBRO designed this specifically for two cat households, splitting dispensed food evenly between two separate stainless steel bowls so both cats can eat from the same feeder at the same time without competing over a single dish. That makes it a strong match for apartment dwellers who keep two cats and want to reduce food guarding behavior or one cat eating faster than the other at a shared bowl. Households with cats that need different food types, such as one cat on a prescription diet and another on regular kibble, are not a good match here, since both bowls draw from the same 5L hopper of a single food type.

Features and specs

The feeder supports both 5GHz and 2.4GHz WiFi networks, giving it broader router compatibility than single band feeders, and it can run on either a DC power adapter or backup D batteries, which are not included but provide a fallback during a power outage. Through the app, owners can schedule 1 to 10 meals a day with 1 to 50 portions per meal, each portion sized at 20 milliliters, giving fairly granular control over how much each cat receives at a given time. The feeder can also record and play a 10 second voice message at feeding time. Dry kibble between 2 and 15 millimeters in diameter is recommended to avoid clogging.

Build and materials

Both bowls are food grade stainless steel, chosen for being easier to keep hygienic and clean than plastic, which matters in a shared feeding setup where bacteria buildup in scratched plastic bowls is more of a concern. The 5L hopper sits centrally between the two bowls with a wider base than PETLIBRO's single bowl feeders, reflecting the added footprint needed to serve two separate dishes from one unit. The unit is rated for a fairly wide operating temperature range, which is more relevant to feeders placed in a garage or sunroom than a climate controlled apartment, but still speaks to the overall build quality of the sealing and electronics.

Living with it in an apartment

Because the base is wider to accommodate two bowls side by side, this feeder needs more floor or counter space than a single bowl model, which is worth planning for in a smaller kitchen. In exchange, it solves a common two cat apartment problem, where one cat dominates a shared bowl or eats the other's portion, by giving each cat its own dispensed serving at the same feeding time. The 5L hopper capacity, split between two cats rather than one, will empty faster than the same size hopper feeding a single cat, so owners should expect refill frequency similar to a smaller single cat feeder rather than stretching the same number of days.

Value for two cat households

Compared to running two separate single bowl feeders, this unit consolidates scheduling and food storage into one app controlled device, which can be simpler to manage and often costs less than buying two standalone feeders. The dual band WiFi and adjustable portion settings add genuine flexibility for households that want to fine tune how much each cat receives per meal. The value case weakens for cats needing different food types, since the shared hopper cannot separate diets, and those households are better served by two independent feeders even at a higher combined cost.
