Automatic cat feeders
HoneyGuaridan A25 review
Published 19 June 2026
A dual-power feeder with a desiccant bag and dual-tray hopper. Capable on paper with good capacity and voice recording, but reliability is more variable than the top picks, so it sits mid-table.
Best for: Budget buyers who want capacity and will accept some variability

It is capable but reliability reports are more mixed than the top picks, with some owners noting occasional dispensing issues. It is a reasonable mid-table choice rather than a first pick.

It includes a desiccant bag in the hopper to help keep dry food crisp, which is useful for longer fills.
Is there battery backup?
Yes, it runs on mains with battery backup so feeding continues in a power cut.
