It can record the time and frequency of cat defecation and automatically generate trend records, you can find out whether the cat has health problems in time. The infrared light is blocked by dirt, causing the infrared tube to abnormally trigger the jam. Please wipe the infrared tube clean. The trash can door cannot be opened because the door latch is stuck by the cat litter. Please follow the video operation to clean the stuck cat litter. Use a small brush to clean the cat litter into the trash can, and then turn the drum to clean the cat litter out of the door. Tips: Don't pour cat litter before plug in!

I’ve owned both the Litter‑Robot 4 (LR4) and the Meowant SC01, and after extended real‑world use, I strongly prefer the SC01. While the LR4 looks impressive on paper, the SC01 is simpler, more reliable, and better designed for everyday use. Major LR4 issue (high‑peeing cats): Inside the LR4 globe is a litter chute at approximately the 1:00 position. If your cat pees high or sprays slightly upward, urine can pass through this chute and: Run into the mechanical/electrical base Collect in hard‑to‑clean areas, causing lingering odor Leak out of the base and onto the floor For a premium‑priced unit, this was unacceptable. LR4 complexity & sensor issues: Sensors can get dirty (dust/cat hair) and trigger false “drawer full” alerts The LR4 must be manually reset every time you empty the waste drawer This is especially frustrating to explain to a pet sitter Why the SC01 is better: Proper urine containment — no leaks into the base No false alerts No reset required after emptying the drawer You pull the drawer, replace the bag, and slide it back in — done. Multi‑cat performance: We have four male cats sharing one automatic litter box, and the SC01 handles this workload without issue. Cycling keeps up fine, odors are controlled, and maintenance has been completely manageable. Apps (fair comparison): The LR4 app is more polished The Airpet app is fully functional: identifies cats by weight, logs bathroom visits, and allows scheduled cleaning cycles I use a mandatory cleaning every 3 hours, in addition to automatic cycles. Notes: The SC01 works perfectly without the app SC01 uses 2.4 GHz Wi‑Fi only LR4 supports 5 GHz Wi‑Fi Build quality: The SC01’s fit and finish are surprisingly good. Nothing feels cheap. The LR4’s flip‑up bonnet feels flimsy and poorly fitted by comparison. Side by side, the SC01 is comparable—or better—despite costing far less. Final verdict: The LR4 has advanced features, but its internal chute design, sensor sensitivity, and complexity make it frustrating in real‑world use. The Meowant SC01 delivers better containment, less maintenance, solid build quality, and far better value. I would buy the SC01 again without hesitation—and I would not return to the Litter‑Robot.

I've had this for a year and it still works great -- the cats love it (2 cats household) I like it so much I bought a second and gifted it to my daughter (and her cats love it too). The wifi & app provide nice connectivity and is useful for monitoring your cat(s) I've never used a litter robot, but with the meowant at less than half the price, I probably never will. My cats are young and excrete down. I had older cats who like to go against walls, or outside the box -- if this is your life, I'm sorry.... and I cannot determine if this machine is for you (but I assure you it is way better than a square pan or cheapo rake machine.) Litter: I have used a variety of clumping litter from tidy cat to fresh step and arm& hammer all work well Cleaning: Sometimes small poop nuggets do not extracted, but 99% do. It's easy to take the cave off and do a deep clean (important if your cat goes sideways instead of down into the litter) Smell: The odor containment is fantastic. My daughter keeps the machine in her bedroom and there is minimal smell, even when she forgets to empty it monthly. Safety: My cat like to play with this as a toy, waiting for it to start to clean an then smacking the front to make it pause. When she finally gets bored of the game it happily finishes cleaning. It moves slowly and even though she has been know to jump inside when it pauses, we have never had an issue or concern about her getting stuck or hurt. Tips: o You can buy the special "deodorizer" packets, or use a Febreze/glade/etc stick-on in the waste collection bin - personally, I just use a scented dryer sheet which I replace when I empty the bin. o The app is nice, but as outlined in the directions, weight will not be accurately reported if the unit is not placed on a hard surface. (Did I mention the WIFI App reports on weight, usage of the box, time going, and other useful kitty health metrics?) o You can use small garbage bags rather than the special bags designed for the system. All-in-All I recommend the meowant to all my cat owning friends (Paid around $360 each)

I want to say that I have both the SC01 & SC02 Meowant litter boxes. I have had the SC01 for about a year now. Initially I liked how whisper quiet the box is and this particular model has a low step in clearance. One of our cats had one of her rear legs amputated so this was perfect for her. After about three months with the product the bottom base developed a crack and litter began to fall through the unit. I contacted the company through email with photos and they promptly contacted me back and said that the drum would have to be replaced. Since it was under warranty It would take about a week at no cost to me so I just used duct tape to seal the old unit until the new drum arrived. Since I have replaced the drum I have had no other cracks or problems with the unit. We also have two 3rd generation litter robots for about three years now. I am ready to toss them in the trash. I have at least one weekly jam with those litter robots and I guess the bottom base units need to be replaced. I have never and say never had either Meowant litter box jam on me which says a lot about their design. Will they last as long as the robots only time will tell. I know I will never buy another robot again because the 4th generation also has problems. What would make this unit perfect if they had a sensor on the box to let you know that you need to dump out the waste like the litter robots. I check the boxes every other day since we have 8 cats. I like this unit better than the SC02 because it holds more waste but that unit has a wider opening. For the cost I am very happy with this unit and about to buy another one soon.

This is a great robotic litterbox that doesn't break the bank...as much as some other robotic ones. I'd give this a solid 8.5/10 vs. my experience with other robotic litter boxes. Pros: + IT WORKS! This is the most important part. All other features are add-ons & luxuries, but the core function is that it has to automatically scoop up the poop & pee while leaving behind the clean litter. In this aspect, it performs very very well. For reference - I use Arm & Hammer Slide litter. The drum rotates to move the cat litter through a net, which then filters out the solid stuff from the otherwise sand-like litter and deposits the waste inside a box with a liner bag. No waste or litter has gotten stuck on the net for me. + It's quiet. Quiet enough that I can only hear it when I'm in the same area as the litter box. Any significant noise that is generated is from the actual solids falling into the waste box. + App functionality. This is a WIP, clearly as updates are still being made. But current features allow you to track which cat is in the box via weight. If you have 2 cats of similar weight, it probably won't work that well. The app allows you to manually operate the box or set a time delay for when it should run after a cat has used it. I've found that 30 minutes post use is a good time. The default 1 minute setting was way too soon. + Storage. The waste box isn't huge, but it's large enough to store everything for a week from 2 cats, if necessary. But it'd be pretty full. I generally prefer to change the liner bags 2x a week, on trash days. Those tend to be 1/3 full. Liner bags that come from the manufacturer are lightly scented and have drawstrings. They work, but you could probably use another bag if you'd like, as there's a plastic component that keeps the liner bags in place and would be compatible with other bags too. + Odor. I have 2 cats, so you can imagine that quite a bit of poop and pee happens. I haven't smelled any of the odor. The lined waste bin is effective at keeping odor at bay. Though keep in mind a larger contributor to this is the litter that I use. + Price. The price is competitive relative to other robot litter boxes. It's not super cheap, but it isn't asking for $600-700 dollars that so many robot litter boxes are asking for...and still somehow won't work perfectly. Cons: - App keeps logging me out & forgetting my machine at random. I'd say this happens once a month. This is a minor annoyance more than anything else. I have the app on my iPhone, but basically I have to log back in every time and there is no Face ID sign-in. You'll have to type your username (email) & password every time. Then, the app randomly forgets the litter box machine too, so I'll have to reconnect them. It's a quick process, but is annoying. I hope this will be addressed in future updates. The good thing is that all your previously set parameters remain, so the machine will still operate as usual. I only really access the app to trigger a manual clean, usually right before I tie the trash and take it out. You can do this in the app or by clicking the first button from left to right, on the base (I use my toe for this). I'm docking 1 point for this as it's an inconvenience that should be addressed. - Litter tracking. The opening to the litter box is relatively low, probably for ease of entry for even older/larger cats. This is good for futureproofing as our cats will inevitably get older. However, that also means that it's very common for some litter to get pushed out of litter box if your cat decides to do some intense digging. The cats will definitely track litter. Do note that the machine comes with a small litter tracking mat. I've alleviated most of this by using a large litter tracking mat. They should offer a small insert to snap onto the entry to prevent litter tracking. For this I'm docking 1/2 a point. As you can see, there are a lot more pros vs cons and most importantly the cons are not deal breakers. No core functionality is lost with the cons I've listed. Many other robot litter boxes cost more, and still somehow mess up on core functions. At least, with this box, it'll get the most important job done - cleaning the litter when needed without fuss. I've had this box for a few months now and it's been great - so much so that I bought a 2nd one to make life easier.

First, there is no perfect litter robot. You have to find what works for you. Problems I encounter: Setting up Connecting to internet Timing is key, you have to press your router button and start the setup on the litter box simultaneously or it will not work. Took me about 4 attempt to get it right. Setting up the app; The app is only good for being notified when your pets go potty if you have more than one cat. It may work better for a single cat. Very poor odor control: It's made of plastic which holds odor Cleaning and disinfecting is very important. The sensors don't work as well as I hoped. My cats’ weight is recorded differently each time they go and never close to their actual weight. The sensors are super sensitive so if you mistakenly add a cat with a weight of 1lb as I did then clumping litter will stop it from cleaning because the machine thinks a cat is in the box. In one of the previous videos gentlemen couldn't figure out why the box was malfunctioning, I believe he was having this issue, so I fixed my issue by rebooting to factory settings. What I don't like The litter grate holes are too big so cat waste gets left behind so I still have to scoop every so often. It is two pieces with a large opening in the base so litter spills in the bottom, haven't seen any cat waste like some others but I'm sure it's possible. Very poor odor control but I've found a few ways to work around that Cleaning is time consuming but better than scooping several times a day and I definitely don't recommend hosing it down as they suggest as I feel that would damage the sensors and other electronic parts. I do think this is over priced but I had the Amazon coupons discount which is really why I bought this. Every thing sticks to this thing; litter, poop, and pee so you will have to clean I recommend at least once a weak What I like: It is super quiet It is roomy so the cats are comfortable with using it, they also like watching it clean. I do like how sensitive the sensors are because I know my fur babies won't get caught in the box or injured during cleaning just wish they recorded weight properly. My tips Don't use clay-clumping litter it confuses the sensors. I was using a corn-based clumping litter (sustainably yours) which worked well and is my favorite. I recently switched to fresh step (kind of like pretty litter) litter to help with odor control, i’m not sure if I'm going to stick with it as it is a little dusty and causes a bit of a mess in the waste bin area as it does not clump. If you have multiple cats empty the bin at least once a day to avoid lingering odor and if the bin is too heavy the unit will malfunction and have to be rebooted as well. I also use hefty odor control 4-gallon bags instead of the bags that came with the unit. The hefty bags help with odor control tremendously. I clean and sanitize the entire unit once a week. By emptying the waste bin and using a another hefty bag and the empty litter feature to empty the litter. I save money on litter because once I finish cleaning I poke wholes in the hefty bag and use it as a sifting bag to put the litter back in without the cat waste the unit missed. I change the litter out completely a month. I recommend adding the litter from the waste bin flap instead of trying to add it in the drum opening anytime you add or change litter, it's a lot easier to pour in and less messy. I also use scouts litter box odor control spray. After I've cleaned and sanatized the unit I lightly spray the inside of the drum and the waste bin area this helps with odor control really well too. I use a soft sponge wand ( sponge with a handle) and a bowl of hot soapy water ( I use Dr. Bronner's tea tree Castile soap) to clean the unit. Then I. Wipe it dry with a regular soft sponge. Cleaning takes me about 30-45minutes. Also recommend setting the auto clean time at some where between 3-5 minutes. The timer starts when you cat enters the unit not after they leave, so if they have been it a minute or two soon as they exit the unit starts to clean which can get messy if poop hasn't hardened or urine isn't quite solid or hasn't been absorbed by the litter. What I wish it did Notified you when litter waste bin is full Suggest when to replace the litter/ tracked litter level A better app That It was one whole unit instead of 2 seperate pieces I think if the company revamped this and put a deep enough waste bin in the opening in the base it would make more sense. Instead of the waste bin flap that covers the opening to the waste bin, a door that seals the bin itself to help with odor control would be nice. The more popular and expensive models have this feature. I wish the waste bin was else were so the drum doesn't rotate all the way around because litter spills out during empty mode when the bin is upside down. If it was at the bottom as mentioned earlier, it would only have to rotate slightly more than halfway and would be less messy. I wish it was made from something other than plastic so it wouldn't hold as much odor. Better Wi-Fi connectivity A litter trap tray because the litter mat they provided is useless. I purchased the petkit or petki litter tray for 69 bucks on Amazon that seem to work well. Also a built in litter guard so the cats don't kick the litter out of the box I purchased one through an app called shop from dynamic pet design I believe it was, you can google meowwant or aribo litter guard and it will come up, it was like 20 bucks for a bundle with 3 different sizes for you to choose what works best. A litter grate with smaller wholes so pet waste doesn't get left behind and need to be hand scooped because that's the point of the automatic litter box right🤨 Overall I mean it does its job not as well as I would like. it's ok if you don't mind putting in a little extra work for your comfort. As is, definitely over priced, should be $200-$250, I feel that price range is more reasonable. If the company made the suggested changes and improved the app it could compete with the higher priced litter bots at around $500-$600 bucks, i’d be willing to pay for it. I apologize for the long review but wanted to give my honest opinion to help others make the best choice possible. I'll hang on to it, like I said it does the job it was designed to do but I am shopping for one that better suits my needs. I hope this helps someone and I hope the company looks into making some if not all the changes I suggested instead of just changing the color as they did for the I guess newer version.

We’ve had our MeowWant litter box for about 9 months now. I got it shortly after we adopted our littlest of two Siberian cats after I realized how much of a pain it was to hand-scoop two girls’ worth of waste every day. It’sgot its flaws, but it’s infinitely better than hand-scooping. It’s got a small enough footprint that it doesn’t take up too much space in our little apartment bathroom, but it’s large enough on the inside that our ultra-fluffy 13lb 3yr old girl can pretty comfortably go potty, turn around, and dig without being cramped. It works as intended probably 90% of the time, which is as good as it gets right now (skip to the last paragraph for my TLDR on why, and my reasoning for recommending it). 1. The app is nothing to write home about; I thought it would be a great way to keep track of their weight, but it turns out that it just kind of upsets the machine to have an integrated scale (of questionable accuracy), and it disconnects from my phone anytime it’s unplugged/reset, so eventually I just stopped reconnecting it. Our girls will also play on top of it, which triggers the weight sensor and logs it as potty time, which totally throws off the data. I only really needed to connect it once at the beginning to set our cleaning cycle times (8am, 12pm, 5pm, 12am), but otherwise I’m fine with not getting notifications. The machine itself is usually well-behaved, but like all auto-scooping litter boxes on the market, it can be finicky. 2. You have to be really, really careful to shut the waste bin door all the way after opening it up, making sure it is latched and flush against the curve of the barrel before walking away. If it’s left partially open or a corner is sticking out, it’ll catch on its next cycle and spill the contents of the upside down all over the floor. As the lights are blinking red, you have to remove the back part, pick up the barrel, and physically rotate it back into position (and shut the waste bin door properly), unplug it and plug it back in to get it to complete a spill-free cycle if this happens. 3. I recommend keeping a hand-vac handy/near the litter box in case of this, and in general; it’s quite shallow and low to the ground, so if your cat(s) are big on digging like our girls are, litter will end up on floor anyway. Since it’s across from our toilet, I literally just vacuum the surrounding area whenever I pee (…in the human toilet, lol), which makes it very easy. 4. You also must be mindful about what kind of litter you use. The advertisement states that it can take tofu or larger/longer-sized litter pellets, but it really can’t without wasting a bunch of it, as it will mistakenly sift larger particles into the waste bin. We’ve tried 6+ different types of liter with this box, and the ones we’ve found to be the best are ones with very fine, heavy particles, such as BoxyCat or other standard clay litter, or Sustainably Yours corn litter (we love this stuff, it’s just a little spendy). 5. The holes are currently large enough that poops the size of a marble or smaller will be sifted back in with the clean litter. That’s not a huge deal if your litter is really absorbent and dries out the “leftovers,” but I think they should market this for use with the small grain litters and not for use with tofu litters, so they could make the grate smaller in order to catch the small poops. Those things may seem like glaring issues, but they are not specific to MeowWant. Even the biggest, most expensive, most complicated, fanciest-seeming litter boxes have issues, many of which overlap with the issues that this one has. The main thing I learned during the hours upon hours of research I did prior to purchasing this litter box was that the auto-scooping litter robot market as a whole has a long way to go before these are more reliable and commonplace. The thing that *is* unique to MeowWant is the impeccable customer service. They’ve been incredibly accomodating, friendly, and responsive responsive to our concerns in a way that has me believing they actually take what customers say into account when considering design tweaks for future iterations of this product, which is very encouraging (and exceedingly rare). Overall, for now, I genuinely believe this is one of the best auto-scooping boxes available. Between the small footprint, large inside space, quiet operation, and relative ease of use & cleaning (tip: use some enzyme wipes/spray/foam in between deep cleans) make it totally worthwhile if your goal is to save time and energy dealing with your furbaby’s excrement, especially if you don’t have a ton of space or money for a “nicer one.” I’ll put it this way: cleaning up after the occasional litter box malfunction takes a lot less time and energy than scooping a regular litter box multiple times a day. Unless you want to wait for the industry to catch up, this is worth getting. Edit: Although it is not advertised to work with crystal/silica litter, it does sift out the poo and stirs it around enough to not clump, though you may want to scrape the bottom every so often if you go this route. We had to switch away from the clay litter because it was causing our older girl’s tear ducts to plug up, and we can’t use plant based litter because my partner is super allergic to the dust from it. I’m happy to report that it’s working quite well with FreshStep’s blue crystal litter (I don’t remember the exact name. It is not scented), both for us and the girls :)

First things first, I want to address some of the other reviews. Other reviews make me thing people expected this machine to be completely hands off and no maintenance. That’s not the case, and that’s okay. Yes, you’ll need to clean some litter out from under the drum, and possibly inside the waste box periodically. Probably as often as you do a full litter change. This doesn’t outweigh the convenience this machine brings to the table though. 1) Set up- Set up was EASY. Took me about 5 minutes, and I did it by myself. It comes with instructions, but is mostly self explanatory. I’m not sure why someone else reported it took an hour to set up. The app setup was also easy, except, as others mentioned, it wants to send you a code and the text doesn’t work. Just select email and it’ll work fine. 2) Machine Functionality- The machine works by rotating the drum so litter slide to the side and a sifter separates the clumps. The drum Continues to rotate until gravity does the rest and the clumps fall perfectly into the waste bin. The machine is incredibly quiet, and the sensor works great, stopping the machine if me or my cats approach it. 3) App Functionality- I actually love the app. I’m not sure why others are complaining about it. On IPhone, the app is clean, modern and easy to use and navigate. You can create little profiles for each cat you have so the machine can detect which cat is using it (uses cat weight to determine). The app records when each cat goes, and records when the machine cleans. You can also set how long you want the machine to wait to clean after the cat leaves. Okay with this setting some. Different litters react differently. Some take more time to clump, some less. Currently, my Machine cleans 5 minutes after the cat leaves, and this seems to be a good amount of time to allow the litter to clump. Machine size- The machine itself is a bit large but not too bad. It’s clean design blends in nicely though. I have two cats. 9lbs and 11lbs and neither have an issue using the machine. They adapted to it immediately. 4) Build quality- I think the overall build quality of the machine and the app are excellent. It’s design is actually rather simple when you think about it. The drum attached to a rotor that rotates to spin the drum. I can see how litter getting into there could pose an issue over time, this is why I say you should vacuum under the drum periodically to prevent this. There has to be some gap to allow the drum to rotate, so I’m not sure how this could be improved in the future. Overall, I’m really satisfied with the machine. It does what I want it to, and it seems to do it well. Those with issues of odor, or leaking or sticking, should experiment with other litters and delay times before blaming the machine. I currently use Tidy Cats free and clean and it works great.

I have had this litter box for about a month now and I am ready to share my thoughts on it. I will also be comparing it to the LitterRobot 4 for anyone who may be curious or trying to make a decision. I’m aware that not everyone wants to read an essay, so I will summarize first and then go into detail for those who are interested in the why… *SUMMARY* This automatic litter box is OK. Just OK. It does what it’s intended to do and it does an ok job at it. It has flaws, but it works. If someone were to ask me if I would recommend this over a LitterRobot, I would say no. I’ve had the LitterRobot for a year and in my opinion it outperforms this one at the end of the day. But for someone who can’t afford LR, this is a much more budget friendly and decent alternative. I do recommend using a better quality cat litter for any automated litter box, a cheep cat litter will not make for a good experience no matter which one you decide to get. (Personal experience T.T) Now to the details! For reference, I’ve had LR4 for a year and the Meowant for about a month. I purchased the Meowant for my elderly, arthritic, cat, because she struggles to get into the LR and refuses to use a ramp. This was supposed to solve that issue, but unfortunately, I just think it isn’t big enough for her (she is a large cat). For my first impressions, this litter box was easy to set up, I do recommend setting it up on hard floor or getting a mat to protect your carpet if you don’t have hard floor, (more on this later). The app was also quick and easy to set up. It uses military time but you can adjust from kg to lb for the weight. I did not find it any easier or any more difficult to set up than the LR, I would say they are about the same in that regard. LR’s app has more features and provides more details. SELF CLEANING: The meowant can be set to a custom schedule or to custom wait time for self cleaning. This is not a feature of LR, so I thought it was neat but didn’t really find it necessary. The meowant’s bin needed to be emptied at least twice a week and the pan refilled at least once a week. Mine is being used by 4 cats, so this is a factor in how frequently it needs attention. My LR needs emptied twice a month at most and tells me when it needs to be replenished, but only 3 cats use this one. The Meowant does not have any sensors that tell you how low the litter is getting or how full the bin is, so you will need to pay attention to it, my LR does both of these and I missed that feature in the Meowant. When the litter box cleans itself, it rotates to sift the litter through a grate and move clumps and waste up to the opening where it slides into the trap and into the lined bin. I started seeing granules of litter stuck to the inside of the hatch that you open to remove the waste. And litter seems to accumulate around the edges of the removable bin. This makes removing the bin and liner and replacing it unsanitary. I would recommend gloves and/or wash your hands thoroughly when you are finished. The LR operates in a similar way except the bin stays stationary at the bottom and the waist drops directly in instead of having to go through a trap door. I have never felt like I needed gloves to remove the bag from the LR. Over time, I found that some clumps were sticking to the side in the Meowant, this happens in LR too, so this is most likely an indication that it time for a clean, or at least that is how I respond. Basically, the Meowant gets the job done here, it just results in a less sanitary situation. SIZE: The cat I purchased this for is 18 years old and has arthritis. She struggle to get in and out of LR. She can get in this one, the step to get in is not any higher than her normal box, however, she still isn’t willing to climb in or out and I think it’s a size issue. She is 12lb’s and has always been large. Not fat, just big. She has just enough room to turn around in this box, but has to scrunch herself up which may be uncomfortable on her joints, making her unwilling to use it. For that reason, I don’t recommend this box if you have a large cat. CLEANING: Now we get to the reason I recommend saving for a LR instead. I clean my boxes and change them once a month and today I decided it was time to clean this one. I started at 8am and finished around 1pm (this includes dry time, I did not scrub it for this long lol). I ran an empty cycle, which created a lovely mess in the trap where the bin is. Quite a bit of litter ended up going around the bin instead of in it. A situation that has never occurred with LR. In fact I can honestly say cleaning the LR has never taken as long or been as difficult as cleaning this machine. The barrel does not open, meaning you are limited on what parts of the inside you can see and the areas that you can reach easily because the opening for the cat is kind of small. I was fairly certain that I had hosed the inside of the barrel out very thoroughly, did not see any indication that there was anything stuck to the inside that needed more attention and sat the barrel aside to dry. Meanwhile I went about cleaning the bin, the base, the mat etc. I would say I gave the barrel about 2 hours and then went out to check on it and reposition it as needed. 2 hours later it seemed mostly dry, so I wanted to spray it with my litter box cleaner and wipe it down before putting it all back together. Nope…while I was working on the inside I found a massive chunk of clumped cat litter stuck to the inner wall, right out of sight and apparently out of reach for the water. Cleaning that out meant that I made a new mess inside which meant more spray and more wiping only to find more litter stuck in all the corners and crevices. Please note, that I could have washed the LR and had it back together in half the time I spent on this. As it stands, it did get clean, and it is back together, but I found that the overall shape and not having easy access to the inside makes cleaning it very difficult. I was also surprised by how dirty it had gotten since being in use, I don’t think I’ve every seen clumps that size stuck to the sides of the LR. In terms of overall cleanliness and ease of cleaning I think the LR is much better than this machine. I give the machine 4 stars, because it isn’t a bad automated litter box. But it does require more attention, and a little more work than the LR. I also recommend using a mat or at least a puppy pad underneath it to protect your floors and for easy clean up. Because of the way it is designed, when the cat exits litter will fall between the barrel and the base. And if your cat is having trouble getting their butt inside the box, the urine will run down there as well. The cleaning was the only frustrating issue I had with the box, I do feel like there should be easier access to the interiors for cleaning but otherwise found it to be functional and much easier for an elderly cat to access…if they fit in it…
