LitterMaid Multi-Cat Self-Cleaning Litter Box t ech Specs: Dimensions: 27 x 18 x 10 inches | Power:AC Adapter| Weight: 14.11 pounds | # of cats: 2-3 Thanks to the continual waste removal mechanism, you can get more “use” out of your litter since there's less of a chance for foul-smelling bacterial growth It's all part of a comprehensively thoughtful design, right down to the built-in night-light. It's weird to say that an automatic litter box was a joy to use, but the Litter-Robot 4 impressed us at every step.

On occasion, clean cat litter may fall into the disposable waste tray, which is a bit wasteful from a financial aspect Automatic litter boxes make an irresistible promise—no more scooping litter!—but can they deliver? We tested 14 different automatic litter boxes in our New York Lab, and at home with enthusiastic feline volunteers. Each was evaluated for everything from performance to odor control, using both real cat behavior in at-home environments, and wet modeling compound "poops" for controlled simulations. Plus the odour was bad after 1 use, I removed the affected area and my furry four paws would not use, it still had an odour. If you have a multiple cats and/or a larger cat, like Maine Cooncat or a Norweigan Forestfeline, the 10 x 8 inch entry to the PetKit PuraMax Automatic Litter Box offers a more comfortable and spacious port for cats to get through. It also has a lower entry point—approximately eight inches from the ground—making it more suitable for senior cats with mobility limitations and cats with shorter legs. This app-controlled, self-cleaning litter box is the larger version of the the PetKit Pura X Self-Cleaning Litter Box, our choice for Best Odor Control, and it has a lot of the same highly quality features.CatGenie requires NO LITTER, only cat-approved, septic-safe Washable Granules that never need changing. When kitty goes, liquids drain through the non-absorbing Washable Granules. The Whisker Litter-Robot 4 is not merely an iterative improvement on our former "Best Overall" automatic litter box, the Litter-Robot 3 Connect, but a comprehensive upgrade. In lab testing—and throughout weeks of follow-up testing with real cats in a home setting—our testers expressed repeated admiration for various features, design improvements, and their overall experience using the Litter-Robot 4.

The Litter-Robot 4 comes with a notification system to alert you when the waste drawer is nearly full, and in the meantime controls unpleasant odors.

However, they don’t clump. Silica-only cat litter is the most absorbent of all, but best avoided, since it may be carcinogenic to you and your pet.

How it works

Because the clumps get dumped into the bottom drawer, there is no litter covering up the waste," our tester noted, describing the result as a more "prominent" smell. The Smarty Pair Leo's Loo Too is available in four colors—Avocado Green, Baby Blue, Leo Gray, and Pretty Pink—and comes with a 90-day free trial. Odor control was also excellent with the Smarty Pear, even with the large waste drawer, which enables you to go a week or more without emptying. In a tester home with a single cat, the reservoir bag could remain in place for up to a month without any noticeable odors—but the bag was cumbersome to remove. In homes with multiple kitties sharing the Smarty Pear, we recommend changing the reservoir weekly and taking advantage of the additional spin cycle feature that ensures waste is filtered out. Most of the automatic litter boxes we recommend are compatible with a variety of litter, though there are substantial exceptions. For example, most automatic litter boxes struggle with wood-based pellets, or other litter that gets soft. In general, automatic litter boxes work by filtering hard clumps from a uniform litter, which makes clay, clumping litter an excellent option. Unless testing a litter box that employs non-standard litter, we used Dr. Elsey's Precious Cat Ultra Unscented, which is an affordable clay-based litter that clumps very easily. Not at all! Litter-Robot doesn’t need special litter or proprietary consumables like several other self-cleaning litter boxes on the market. In fact, Litter-Robot works well with almost any clumping litter. Litter beads and crystals that are small enough to pass through the screen will also work in Litter-Robot. Litters that are strictly absorbent, non-clumping, loose-clumping, newspaper-based, or wood-based pellets won’t work with Litter-Robot, as they interfere with the sifting process.
