Neater Pets Neater Feeder Deluxe vs IRIS USA Elevated Feeder with Airtight Storage, Large
Which should you buy? Our verdict on both, pulled from our full The Best Elevated Dog Bowls: 4 Compared (and One to Skip) comparison.
The Neater Feeder Deluxe wins because it is the only design here that actually solves the mess, and its leg extensions give you deliberate height control instead of a fixed guess. The IRIS feeder with airtight storage is the pick for large dog households buying kibble in bulk, since it replaces the feeder and the food bin with one very stable object.
Neater Pets Neater Feeder Deluxe
Buy itThe only feeder here engineered around spilled water, with removable stainless bowls and a drainage reservoir that catches the mess instead of your floor.
- Splash guards plus a drainage reservoir keep spilled food and water contained instead of on the wall
- Optional leg extensions give real height control, so you can raise the rim for a tall or arthritic dog
- Removable stainless bowls and a top-rack dishwasher safe body make cleaning quick
- Sizes run from cat through large breed, so the rim height actually matches the dog
- Molded plastic body looks like a pet product, not furniture
- The water reservoir needs emptying regularly or it becomes its own hygiene problem
- A determined chewer can work on the splash guard
IRIS USA Elevated Feeder with Airtight Storage, Large
Buy itRaised stainless bowls sitting on an airtight kibble bin, which replaces the feeder and the food container with one very stable object.
- Airtight, latching storage underneath holds a full large bag of dry food and keeps pests out
- Gets steadier as it fills, because the stored food acts as ballast under the bowls
- Two generous removable stainless bowls, enough water for a big dog between fills
- One footprint instead of a feeder plus a separate bin in the pantry
- Feeding height is fixed by the bin, so it is too tall for small and many medium dogs
- You have to clear the bowls off the lid to refill the food
- Translucent plastic bin is functional rather than good looking
