SUOXU 2-in-1 Crate Hanging Dog Bowl (stainless steel) – 18cm, 850ml
Product description
What this is for
If your dog eats or drinks in a crate, a hanging bowl can make life easier. This SUOXU 2-in-1 crate water bowl uses a hanging setup designed to sit securely to the side of the crate, with an internal stainless steel bowl you can remove for cleaning. It’s aimed at people who want something more convenient than a fixed bowl that’s awkward to reach and harder to keep hygienic.
On paper, the idea is straightforward: one part attaches to the crate, and the other part (the stainless steel insert) comes out without you needing to dismantle the whole assembly. That convenience matters in day-to-day use, particularly if you’re washing bowls regularly or swapping between food and water.
The design and what you’ll notice in use
The kit is built as a two-part system. A plastic outer bowl is fixed to the side of the crate, and the stainless steel bowl sits inside it. The main selling point is the removable stainless steel bowl—so you can take it out and put it back without unscrewing the entire unit.
There’s also a cross-lock style design mentioned for fixation. The goal is a firm attachment and stable suspension, so the bowl is less likely to shake and overturn when your pet nudges it.
A small “real life” example: if you’ve just done a quick clean, you can drop the stainless steel bowl back in place while the plastic housing stays mounted to the crate. That reduces the fuss compared with systems where you have to unmount everything before cleaning.
That said, because this is a crate-hanging style bowl, it won’t suit every crate layout or every feeding routine. If your setup doesn’t give the hanging position a stable place to sit, you may find it a bit inconvenient.
Key features that affect buying decisions
- Size that’s clearly defined: bowl diameter 18cm and bowl height 5.5cm, with an 850ml capacity.
- Material choice: thick plastic housing plus a food-safe stainless steel internal bowl, positioned as the hygienic part.
- Easy install concept: cross-lock design for firm fixation, intended to avoid shaking that could lead to the bowl tipping.
- Removable inner bowl: no need to unscrew the full unit to remove and replace the stainless steel bowl.
Worth noting: the description mentions the stainless steel bowl is food-safe, but it doesn’t go into details like thickness or insulation. If you’re the type of buyer who wants very specific build specs, you may still want to check the listing photos or ask questions before committing.
Pros and limitations (the honest take)
Pros
What stands out here is the combination of convenience and practicality for crate time. The removable stainless steel insert is the part you’ll probably care about most, because it’s the bit you’re likely to rinse, wash and re-use frequently. The cross-lock / stable suspension goal also addresses a common crate-bowl annoyance: things rattling or tipping when your dog moves around.
Limitations
It’s not the most “universal” type of bowl. Because it’s designed as a hanging crate bowl, you’re depending on your crate having a suitable mounting point and space. Also, while the kit is positioned for medium-sized dogs (and even mentions cats and other animals), you’ll want to consider whether 850ml and the 18cm diameter are the right scale for your pet’s typical intake.
It may also feel more like a practical mid-range crate accessory than a premium, all-out grooming-level feeding system—again, based on what’s provided, it doesn’t claim advanced features beyond the hanging/removal convenience.

Who it suits best (and who should skip it)
It makes sense if you use a crate regularly and want a bowl that’s easier to clean because the stainless steel insert can be removed and re-fitted without unscrewing the whole unit. It suits you if you want a stable hanging setup that aims to reduce shaking and tipping.
It’s not for you if your crate doesn’t accommodate side mounting well, or if you strongly prefer a simple floor-standing bowl where you can lift it out instantly. And you may want to skip it if your dog is very large or your dog’s bowl needs are well beyond the stated medium-sized focus—because the listing size and capacity are clearly aimed at smaller-to-medium use cases.
Worth considering if you’re buying for multi-pet households too, since the description says it’s suitable for cats and other animals as well.
Care and maintenance
Because the internal bowl is stainless steel and removable, this type of setup typically makes daily hygiene easier: remove the stainless insert, wash it, and reinsert it into the crate housing. The outer plastic part stays mounted, which helps you keep routines simple.
Keep an eye on fit after cleaning—if the bowl sits back slightly off-centre, it could affect how stable it feels during feeding.
Buying verdict
Final verdict
A solid choice if you’re specifically looking for a hanging crate bowl with an easily removable stainless steel insert. The defined size (18cm diameter, 5.5cm height) and 850ml capacity are a helpful baseline, and the cross-lock / stable suspension approach is aimed at stopping the bowl from wobbling.
However, it might not be the best match if your crate setup doesn’t support side installation cleanly, or if you need a more universal bowl style that isn’t tied to a hanging position.
