1 / 7PETKIT FRESH ELEMENT SOLO Automatic Pet Feeder, 3L
The PETKIT FRESH ELEMENT SOLO is a 3-litre automatic pet feeder with scheduled and app-controlled feeding, a stainless-steel bowl and battery backup. Its dry-food focus and 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi requirement make it best suited to indoor cats or small dogs whose owners want remote meal control, provided the home network is compatible.

What to know before buying
Listing details to confirm
Listing details conflict or remain unconfirmed: the title and feature copy mention mixed and freeze-dried food, while the recommended-use specification says dry food only. The feature copy claims compatibility with pieces up to 12mm, but no independent verification is provided. Confirm suitable food and network requirements before purchase. The advertised half-month supply depends on the pet and feeding plan.

Frequently asked questions
What food does the feeder support?
The listing's recommended-use specification says dry food only. Feature copy also claims mixed kibble and freeze-dried food up to 12mm, so those broader claims conflict and should be confirmed before buying.
Does it work with any Wi-Fi network?
The listing specifies 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi for app-based smart functions. Check that your network provides this band.
Are backup batteries included?
No. The feature description specifies five AAA batteries for backup and says they are not included.
Can the bowl go in the dishwasher?
The listing says only the stainless-steel bowl is dishwasher-safe. Separate it from the bowl base, which it says cannot be washed.
