Olfjurk Automatic Cat Feeder (5L) – Timed Dry Food Dispenser with Dual Power, 1–6 Meals
Product description
What it is and why people look at it
The Olfjurk Automatic Cat Feeder is a timed dry-food dispenser designed to dole out measured portions across the day. On paper, it’s aimed at anyone who wants more consistent feeding times—especially if your schedule is a bit chaotic or you sometimes need a short stretch away from home.
It’s also pitched as a practical “set and run” option thanks to its programmable control (1 to 6 meals within a 24-hour period) and the ability to select portions each time. If you’re trying to avoid the “free-feeding” habit and prefer smaller, timed meals, this kind of feeder is exactly the sort of device many UK cat owners compare.
That said, it’s not a magic switch for all feeding needs. This model is described for dry kibble, and your day-to-day satisfaction will depend quite a lot on whether your cat’s food type fits the dispenser’s guidance.
The essentials (timing, portion control and airflow)
The standout feature here is the timing and portion flexibility. You can configure feeding from 1 to 6 times across the day, and you can adjust the portion amount from 1 to 15 per feeding. In real terms, that means you can schedule small servings to match your cat’s routine—like feeding a light portion at a fixed hour, rather than hoping they self-regulate.
The feeder also uses a double rotor approach for distribution. The passage is described as having a wide angular pathway and a 40-degree slope intended to speed up the flow of dry kibble.
There’s also guidance on kibble size: it’s recommended for dry pellets between 0.07 and 0.4 inches. If your food is significantly larger (or unusually shaped), you may find it doesn’t feed as smoothly as you’d expect.
What you’ll notice in daily use
Two things tend to matter most with timed feeders: reliability when you’re not home, and whether the mechanism keeps working without you constantly fiddling.
This feeder is described as having an anti-jam design with the double rotor and the angled food channel, and it’s built for dry food rather than wet meals. For many households, that makes the daily experience more straightforward—fill it, set the programme, and let it handle the timing.
A second practical point is portion consistency. The unit states that 1 cup is approximately 16 portions, and 1 portion is roughly 1 tablespoon (around 6 g). Those aren’t exact “lab weights”, but they’re useful for understanding how the feeder’s volume translates into food quantities.
If you want a micro example: imagine setting it to deliver smaller servings in the morning and early evening, while you’re out for work. Once configured, you’re not standing over a measuring scoop—your routine is controlled by the schedule.
Power options and food freshness
This model supports dual power, which is a big deal if you’ve ever worried about power cuts. It can run on battery power (the listing notes batteries are not included, and it requires three type D batteries to be purchased separately), or you can use the included mains cable.
It also includes a desiccant bag (desiccant is mentioned as integrated and included). The goal is to help keep dry food fresher within the hopper.
One practical limitation to bear in mind: because batteries are not included, you’ll need to factor that into your purchase decision if you want the battery back-up to be ready straight away.
Build and cleaning: how much effort is involved?
Cleaning matters more than people think with automatic feeders. The listing says the feeder has a fully detachable design, intended to make cleaning easier, plus it’s described as having simple assembly/disassembly that suits busy homes.
For many owners, the best-case scenario is quick daily wipes plus periodic deeper cleaning of the parts that come into contact with kibble. If you’re the sort of person who won’t maintain it regularly, it can become less “hands-off” than the marketing suggests—because food dust and residues can build up over time.

Is it worth it?
If you want a timed dry-food feeder with programmable meals (1–6 per day) and portion control (1–15 each time), this Olfjurk model makes sense on paper. The dual power idea also suits households that don’t want to rely entirely on a wall socket.

If you’re feeding dry kibble and you’re aiming for scheduled smaller meals, it’s a reasonable match—particularly when timing matters more than portion-by-portion measuring every day.

Final verdict
You may want to avoid this feeder if your cat’s food is outside the stated kibble size range (0.07 to 0.4 inches), or if you’re looking for wet-food feeding. Also, since batteries are not included, factor the extra cost and setup time if you plan to rely on battery power.
