Unfortunately, some of them are buggy, difficult to set up, or lacking in crucial safety features.

It\u2019s the most advanced Litter-Robot yet and the first model designed for integration with the new Whisker+ subscription for $7.99\/month.<\/p>\n<p>Like other models before it, the Litter-Robot 5 Pro offers reliable self-cleaning performance, strong odor control thanks to a generously sized waste drawer, and daily cat insights via the Whisker app. The addition of a Whisker+ subscription unlocks the device\u2019s full potential, enabling innovative features like real-time video monitoring, visual cat identification for precise tracking, and up to 2 years of cat activity history.<\/p>\n<p>If you choose not to subscribe to Whisker+, you\u2019ll still have access to the free Whisker app where you can view daily usage trends, device status updates, 2-day video history, and up to 5 minutes of live streaming per day. All units come with the new-and-improved SmartScale sensor which delivers more accurate weight-based cat identification than the LR4.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to upgrades in technology, a few tweaks were made in the Litter-Robot 5 Pro\u2019s design. The flexible weighted liner inside the globe is a little smaller but there are fewer hard-to-clean nooks and crannies. The cycling process runs as smoothly (and quietly) as ever, and the redesigned waste liner bags feature a drawstring closure.<\/p>\n<p>The biggest complaint customers have about the LR5 Pro is the price. It\u2019s also pretty new to the market, so there are still some kinks to work out. If you want to invest in the latest technology but balk at the $899 price tag, you can save $100 with the Litter-Robot 5 (basically the same model without the cameras).<\/p>\n<h3>What We Liked:<\/h3>\n<ul class=\"pro\">\n<li>Packed with the latest technology, including dual integrated cameras<\/li>\n<li>AI-powered smart features improve multi-cat identification<\/li>\n<li>Improved health tracking and long-term trends available in the Whisker app<\/li>\n<li>Updated SmartScale sensor is more accurate than the LR4\u2019s<\/li>\n<li>Comes almost fully assembled and is easy to set up<\/li>\n<li>Works on hard flooring or carpet without any additional parts required<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>What We Didn\u2019t Like:<\/h3>\n<ul class=\"con\">\n<li>Smart technology comes at a cost (currently priced at $899)<\/li>\n<li>Still new to the market, may have some glitches to work out over time<\/li>\n<li>Some features are only available with a Whisker+ subscription<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"su-row card-review catscom-card-review cliverse-buttons-fixing\">\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"product-review-heading\">#2 <\/span>Runner Up: <a href=\"https:\/\/cats.com\/recommends\/litter-robot-4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"sponsored noopener\">Litter-Robot 4 Automatic Litter Box<\/a><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-83490 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cats.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Litter-Robot-4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"297\" height=\"400\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"cliverse-card-buttons links-wrap \">                                <a href=\"https:\/\/cats.com\/recommends\/litter-robot-4\" class=\"cats-btn pfs-shortcode pfs_product_price_button not-per_measure not-per_day\" data-upc=\"none\" data-price=\"$699 At Whisker\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"sponsored noreferrer noopener\">$699 At Whisker<\/a>\n                        \n                                <a href=\"https:\/\/chewy.sjv.io\/c\/1397719\/3054490\/32975?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.chewy.com%2Flitter-robot-4-automatic-self%2Fdp%2F617582\" class=\"cats-btn pfs-shortcode pfs_product_price_button not-per_measure not-per_day\" data-upc=\"810034225269\" data-price=\"$699.00 At Chewy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"sponsored noreferrer noopener\">$699.00 At Chewy<\/a>\n                        <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/cats.com\/litter-robot-review\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Read Our Full Brand Review<\/a><\/strong><\/div>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Price<\/strong>: $699<\/li>\n<li><strong>Dimensions<\/strong>: 27 x 22 x 29.5 inches<\/li>\n<li><strong>Works With<\/strong>: Any clumping cat litter<\/li>\n<li><strong>Key Strengths<\/strong>: A feature-rich, reliable, WiFi-enabled litter box that works with any clumping cat litter<\/li>\n<li><strong>Ideal For<\/strong>: People who want reliable performance improved by years of customer feedback<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Released in 2022, the Litter-Robot 4 now has several years of software patches and upgrades under its belt.

Equipped with a combination of lasers, weight sensors, and anti-obstruction technology (bundled under the SafeCat System with Omnisense Detection), the LR4 was Whisker\u2019s safest model to date. Upgrades in sensor technology also led to improvements in data trends and health tracking.<\/p>\n<p>In the early days following the LR4\u2019s release, reports of sensor malfunctions were fairly common but they\u2019ve since been addressed through firmware and app updates. The original fence that attaches to the front of the unit also allowed urine to leak through a gap between the globe and the base. This issue has been corrected in the new LR5 and Whisker also released an improved fence along with a bezel guard for those who prefer not to use the fence.<\/p>\n<p>One of the factors that makes Litter-Robot so popular is the quality of Whisker\u2019s customer service. The brand has always demonstrated an attentiveness to customer feedback, being quick to offer resolutions for customer complaints and making continuous improvements to its products.<\/p>\n<p>Despite being one of the most highly rated automatic litter boxes on the market, the Litter-Robot 4 isn\u2019t perfect. Some customers find the interior dimensions too cramped for large cats, and the device is only compatible with fine-grained clumping cat litter (tofu litter won\u2019t work).

In two of the bathrooms we used, the cold water outlet was too far from the nearest power outlet. The CatGenie was also too big to comfortably fit in these spaces. Between these issues, it was difficult to find a spot to put it.<\/p>\n<p>Its core functions can also present some issues. The Genie Hand almost never caught all of our cats\u2019 poop, leaving it to get washed and dried. The heat involved in this cycle means that the poop gets warm and smelly. Similarly, loose stool and diarrhea won\u2019t get scooped and can get baked onto the litter. Deep cleaning involves some water and getting your (gloved, presumably) hands dirty.<\/p>\n<p>Because it requires the use of proprietary granules and non-refillable Sani-Solution cartridges, the CatGenie A.I. has a higher lifetime cost than either a standard litter box or some other automatic litter boxes. And the company is committed to making sure you have to pay for it\u2014the CatGenie won\u2019t work without a Sani-Solution cartridge in place.<\/p>\n<p>Because the CatGenie has more specific installation and maintenance requirements than the other automatic litter boxes on this list, we recommend <u><a href=\"https:\/\/cats.com\/catgenie-a-i-self-flushing-automatic-litter-box-review\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">checking out our full review<\/a><\/u> before making up your mind.<\/p>\n<p>CatGenie has been manufacturing its products for many years, and customer service is available by phone or email seven days a week.<\/p>\n<h3>What We Liked:<\/h3>\n<ul class=\"pro\">\n<li>Flushes waste away down the drain or toilet<\/li>\n<li>Can be cleaner and less odor-prone than standard litter boxes<\/li>\n<li>Has a dedicated following of people who have loved it for years<\/li>\n<li>Comes with an app for more control<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>What We Didn\u2019t Like:<\/h3>\n<ul class=\"con\">\n<li>Fairly expensive at around $479<\/li>\n<li>Requires a water line hookup and drain access<\/li>\n<li>Takes up a significant amount of space<\/li>\n<li>Maintenance costs can be significant for granules and sani-solution<\/li>\n<li>An incomplete clean can create a mess<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"su-row card-review catscom-card-review cliverse-buttons-fixing\">\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"product-review-heading\">#4 <\/span>Mid-Priced Option: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Catlink-Self-Cleaning-Automatic-Control-Multiple\/dp\/B0FC1Y2Q6J?maas=maas_adg_33DCA370B1312227243BC451BF06AF1F_afap_abs&amp;ref_=aa_maas&amp;tag=maas\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"sponsored noopener\">CATLINK Scooper Young Self-Cleaning Litter Box<\/a><\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_83221\" style=\"width: 512px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-83221\" class=\"wp-image-83221\" src=\"https:\/\/cats.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/CATLINK-self-cleaning-automatic-litter-box-e1705352460406.jpg\" alt=\"CATLINK self-cleaning automatic litter box\" width=\"502\" height=\"361\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cats.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/CATLINK-self-cleaning-automatic-litter-box-e1705352460406.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/cats.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/CATLINK-self-cleaning-automatic-litter-box-e1705352460406-768x552.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cats.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/CATLINK-self-cleaning-automatic-litter-box-e1705352460406-624x448.jpg 624w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 502px) 100vw, 502px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-83221\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Liz Coleman \/ Cats.com<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"cliverse-card-buttons links-wrap \">                                <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Catlink-Self-Cleaning-Automatic-Control-Multiple\/dp\/B0FC1Y2Q6J?maas=maas_adg_33DCA370B1312227243BC451BF06AF1F_afap_abs&amp;ref_=aa_maas&amp;tag=maas\" class=\"cats-btn pfs-shortcode pfs_product_price_button not-per_measure not-per_day\" data-upc=\"none\" data-price=\"$459 At Amazon\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"sponsored noreferrer noopener\">$459 At Amazon<\/a>\n                        \n<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/cats.com\/catlink-review\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Read Our Full Brand Review<\/a><\/strong><\/div>\n<ul class=\"cliverse-card-review-list\">\n<li><strong>Price: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B0FC1Y2Q6J?tag=wwwallabou001-20&linkCode=ogi&th=1&psc=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Out of stock<\/a><\/li>\n<li><strong>Dimensions:<\/strong> 23.5 x 23 x 28\u00a0inches<\/li>\n<li><strong>Works With: <\/strong>Any clumping cat litter<\/li>\n<li><strong>Key Strengths: <\/strong>Excel in odor control<\/li>\n<li><strong>Ideal For: <\/strong>Cats at least three months and must weigh between 3.5 and 22 pounds<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>CATLINK is a relatively new brand in China that launched in 2017.

The company has developed apps to help cat parents monitor their pet\u2019s health and behavior, such as drinking, feeding, and toileting habits.<\/p>\n<p>During our tests, we found that it may not work for older cats, nervous cats, or homes with limited floor space.

While the Pura Max features a low-set drum set in a boxy base with a waste drawer on the side, the Pura X has the drum set higher in a taller boxy body, with its waste drawer positioned below the drum. The entryway is small and high off the ground, making it more difficult for cats to enter. The rotating and sifting functionality is about the same as that of the Petkit Pura Max, and while it doesn\u2019t have the same removable liner, it\u2019s similarly ill-suited to cats who urinate towards the front edge of the box.<\/p>\n\n        \n        <script>\n            window.addEventListener(\"galleryScriptLoaded\", function(event) {\n                var postGallerySwiper = new Swiper(\".post-gallery-swiper-wrap-43013-43014-43016 .post-gallery-swiper\", {\n                    spaceBetween: 15,\n                    loop: true,\n                    pagination: {\n                        el: \".post-gallery-swiper-wrap-43013-43014-43016 .swiper-pagination\",\n                        clickable: false,\n                    },\n                    navigation: {\n                        nextEl: \".post-gallery-swiper-wrap-43013-43014-43016 .swiper-button-next\",\n                        prevEl: \".post-gallery-swiper-wrap-43013-43014-43016 .swiper-button-prev\",\n                    }\n                });\n            });\n        <\/script>\n        <div class=\"post-gallery-swiper-wrap post-gallery-swiper-wrap-43013-43014-43016\">\n            <div class=\"swiper post-gallery-swiper post-gallery-swiper\">\n                <div class=\"swiper-wrapper\">\n                                            <div class=\"swiper-slide gallery-caption\">\n                                                        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cats.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Small-petkit-pura-x-cleaning-cycle-compressed.jpg\" alt=\"Small petkit pura x cleaning cycle-compressed\"\/>\n                                                            <p id=\"caption-attachment-43013\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Petkit Pura X runs a cycle\u2014see the display showing that the unit is in the middle of a cleaning cycle.

If your cat attempts to enter while the device is in motion, the globe will stop immediately.<\/p>\n<p>Our experience with the SNOW+ self-cleaning litter box was largely positive, starting from the moment we unboxed the device. Everything was neatly organized and secured within styrofoam, and I was pleasantly surprised by the minimal setup required.<\/p>\n<p>The modern aesthetic, complemented by a cute privacy flap at the entryway, also caught my eye. The app was intuitive and easy to navigate, allowing us to customize settings with just a few taps.<\/p>\n<p>The ability to create pet profiles in the app and track usage patterns could be a game-changer for many cat parents. Initially, our cats were curious about the SNOW+.<\/p>\n<p>However, they ultimately decided against using it, likely due to the tight entryway that might not suit larger cats. From our experience, the SNOW+ is more appropriate for smaller cats.<\/p>\n<p>Cleaning the litter box was also a breeze, thanks to the magnetic attachment system\u2014disassembly was simple and quick, which is always a win in our books.<\/p>\n<h3>What We Liked:<\/h3>\n<ul class=\"pro\">\n<li>Real-time activity tracking through the PetSnowy app<\/li>\n<li>Fragrance box and anti-tracking design

But while there\u2019s no shortage of options on the market, some of them simply aren\u2019t up to snuff.<\/p>\n<p>Before you invest several hundred dollars in a high-tech litter box solution, make sure it\u2019s going to deliver on its promises. Here\u2019s what to look for when shopping for an automatic litter box.<\/p>\n<h3>An Effective Design<\/h3>\n<p>While all automatic litter boxes promise to save time and make your life easier, our tests have found that most of them have design flaws that could make them more time-consuming than a regular box. That\u2019s why it\u2019s important to choose a self-cleaning box with a smart, effective design.<\/p>\n<p>Look for ones that don\u2019t have many open gaps and cracks that can collect waste or allow urine to leak down below the drum or litter pan. If you\u2019re looking for one with a raking mechanism, make sure that the rake is able to reach the bottom of the pan and is strong enough to capture heavier clumps.<\/p>\n<p>The litter box should also work quickly and quietly, ensuring that neither you nor your cat is disturbed when it runs a cycle.<\/p>\n<h3>Ease of Cleaning<\/h3>\n<p>While you won\u2019t need to scoop an automatic litter box, you will need to clean it out periodically. It should be easy to pour out the litter and spray or wipe out the inside. That\u2019s why we recommend choosing one with an automatic emptying feature and minimal crannies where waste can get stuck.<\/p>\n<h3>Cat Activity Tracking<\/h3>\n<p>Your cat\u2019s litter box is one of your most valuable windows into their health, which makes scooping time a great opportunity to learn how your cat\u2019s doing. A good self-cleaning litter box incorporates cat activity monitoring features. An app with an activity log, especially one that specifies your cat\u2019s weight as well as how many times they\u2019ve used the box, will help you to keep track of changes in your cat\u2019s habits and flag potential issues sooner.<\/p>\n<h3>Fits Your Budget<\/h3>\n<p>One of the top questions people ask about automatic litter boxes is \u201cAre they worth it?\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The answer to that question involves a cost-benefit analysis that only you can perform. It\u2019s a good idea to recognize that the most expensive boxes aren\u2019t always the best. Realize, also, that the long-term cost of the litter box is more than the number in the Chewy checkout.<\/p>\n<p>Like a cheap printer that costs you hundreds of dollars a year in ink, some automatic litter boxes, like the CatGenie, require special supplies that may end up costing a lot more than a regular box full of cheap litter.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, some expensive units can save you money over time. The Litter-Robot, for example, is known to keep cat litter cleaner for longer, and it\u2019s compatible with virtually any clumping cat litter. While the upfront cost is high, it may end up helping you save money over time.<\/p>\n<h3>Made and Sold by a Reputable Company<\/h3>\n<p>With units starting at $150 and going up to $700 or more, a self-cleaning litter box is a major investment. The best ones come from companies that stand behind their products, offering at least a 1-year warranty and responsive customer service.<\/p>\n<h2>How to Help Your Cat Start Using a New Automatic Litter Box<\/h2>\n<p>Between operating noises and unexpected movements, a self-cleaning litter box may be jarring to your cat. To avoid \u201cprotest poops\u201d outside of the box and an unhappy cat, make a gradual transition, gently acclimating your cat to their new box.<\/p>\n<p>First, place the automatic litter box in a familiar, comfortable area where your cat feels safe. Start with the unit turned off to let your cat become comfortable with it. If you start with the litter box turned on, the noise and motion of a cycle could scare them off.<\/p>\n<p>Instead of removing the old litter box immediately, keep it in the same room but stop cleaning it. Help your cat to recognize the new box by transferring a scoop of dirty litter. In time, your cat should choose the cleaner box. Once your cat is using their new automatic litter box, turn it on and let them see it cycling between uses. After a few weeks, your cat should be comfortable with the new box.<\/p>\n<p>Remember that some cats will never love their automatic litter box. In our tests, some cats liked the automatic boxes, and others didn\u2019t. One of our cats consistently used a traditional litter box when given the choice.
