Gardner Pet 2 in 1 Automatic Cat Feeder & Gravity Water Dispenser (6L+6L)
Product description
The essentials
If you’re looking for a setup that reduces daily pet chores, the Gardner Pet 2 in 1 Automatic Cat Feeder and Water Dispenser is built around a simple idea: gravity does the work. It combines a dry food feeder with a gravity-fed water dispenser in one integrated unit, so you’re not relying on electricity, batteries or cords.
On paper, it’s aimed at keeping things tidy and fairly low-maintenance, using transparent windows to let you monitor levels at a glance. It also leans into hygiene with a 304 stainless steel bowl for both food and water, and it’s positioned as suitable for small to medium-sized cats or dogs.
A small practical caveat: gravity systems are convenient, but they’re not the same as active, motorised smart feeders. If you need tightly controlled portions or anything advanced, this is likely to feel basic.
What it’s for (and how it works)
This is a 2-in-1 gravity feeding set: one part is an automatic feeder for dry food, and the other part is a gravity water dispenser. The water and food release slowly into their respective bowls, designed to avoid spillages.
In use, you’d typically top up the food by lifting the lid (no disassembly required for the feeder part), and fill the water base. As the bowls empty, the system refills automatically when the water level drops below a certain point—so you’re not stuck doing constant top-ups.
A realistic day-to-day example: if you leave for work and your cat usually drinks in the morning, the dispenser refills as the level drops, while you can check the water window before you go to bed.
Key points
The main draw here is the gravity mechanism. It doesn’t need electricity, which can matter if you’re often out, have frequent outages, or simply don’t want extra cables around the feeding area.
It also separates the “monitoring” part from the “guessing” part. The transparent windows make it easier to see how much food or water is left without lifting everything out.
Finally, the materials are geared towards day-to-day hygiene. The set uses 100% BPA-free PP material, and the bowls are 304 stainless steel, which is a sensible choice for something your pet will use repeatedly.
What stands out in the build
Where this model feels most thought-through is in the bowl-and-valve approach on the water side and the cleaning approach on the food side.
For the water dispenser, there’s an adjustable water bowl base (it can be adjusted 180 degrees) and a spiral and spring valve design that’s intended to help with a tight seal and to filter the water for better quality. The base stores up to 6L of water, and it’s designed to sit stably on the floor.
For the feeder part, it supports dry food only. The food capacity is up to 2.6kg of dry food, and you can refill by lifting the lid.
Cleaning is also split by module. The feeder part is easier: after removing the food, the stainless steel bowl can be taken out for cleaning directly. The water bowl base is rotatable, and the stainless steel bowl can’t be removed directly for cleaning, so you may need a bit more care when you’re maintaining the water section.
Pros
- No electricity required, so it’s suitable for power outages and avoids cables/batteries.
- Gravity feeding helps release food and water slowly into the bowls without spilling (by design).
- Transparent windows make it easier to monitor water and food levels.
- BPA-free PP construction and 304 stainless steel bowls support a hygienic routine.
- Adjustable water bowl base and a stable setup help keep the unit from feeling flimsy.
What to watch before you buy
This one is very much a “dry food + gravity water” type of feeder. If you feed wet food, this may not suit you—it's designed for dry food only.
Cleaning is also not perfectly symmetrical between food and water. For water, the stainless steel bowl can’t be removed directly, which can make weekly cleaning feel a little more fiddly than it is on the feeder side.
And finally, gravity-based systems tend to be best for routine feeding rather than strict, highly measured portion control. If you’re prioritising precise portion scheduling, you may find this stays more in the practical convenience lane than the performance lane.

Is it worth it?
It makes sense if you want a straightforward, no-electricity setup for dry food and water, and you prefer a feeder you can top up without complicated programming. If you value transparent level monitoring and a stainless steel bowl finish for day-to-day hygiene, this Gardner Pet unit is a practical match.
You may want to skip it if wet food is part of your routine, or if you’re after very precise, controlled feeding. It’s also worth being honest about cleaning preferences: weekly cleaning is recommended, and the water section may take a bit more effort since the stainless steel bowl can’t be removed directly.
