Part 2 is now live! th-cam.com/video/qO0HHtMEOb8/w-d-xo.html The large fence is now shipping with all machines. If you are experiencing any of the problems I show then contact customer service and they will send you the new large fence free.
@@OneManFiveCats well for those who were not perfekt in englisch its not clear what a fence was. But then i loooked it up. Not so nice how u Responded. Next time i dont ask for help.
@@eliacikel124 how was I not nice? I found it confusing you were asking about something which you were replying to. I state in the review it’s called the large fence. How am I supposed to know your English isn’t good enough to know? Your reply was very over the top and unnecessary . Most people don’t even reply to comments.
Props to Bertie for taking his job as a beta tester very seriously, pushing the boundaries of what the machine has to be able to handle.Thank you for this very informative review, it's very nice to watch, even though I have no need with just two cats. But maybe someday if I have more space and an excess of money. Can't wait for that catio video, it looks so beautiful!
I spent 30 mins Sunday morning watching this National Geographic quality level documentary of robots that cost nearly $1000 created entirely to scoop cat poop and pee - shot and edited by some guy on the other side of the world via a free video site. What a time to be alive.
Omg thank you, TH-cam algorithm. I've been really hoping someone would cover ALL of them. A friend has been singing the praises of the 4 and I am SWEATING at that cost. Looking forward to part 2!
We wobbled over the cost of Litter Robots for well over a year before finally making the leap and purchasing. YMMV, but I have to say we've never looked back or regretted the decision. Just read up and be aware of what you are purchasing; they aren't "perfect" by any means... but to us, worlds better than manual boxes or even electrical "rake" systems like the ScoopFree or LitterMaid. Much less hassle and easier to clean up after.
Agreed! I was really hoping this would include a comparison of the different options, especially Leo's Loo Too since that's where I'm leaning compared to this one
They are expensive but my husband and I got our 3 cats a refurbished litter robot through the manufacturer site with affirm or afterpay (can’t remember which payment system). Getting the refurb and splitting the cost over a few months was worth it.
Very looking forward to series. Two cats now with clumping clay, so at least one good scooping is now two and missing a day absolutely out of the question. … longevity of machine and ease of deep clean my big issues. Routine now is rotating a couple boxes with full clean and drying outside.
I’m probably going g to make the leap and purchase .. on small instalments. W Question for you those who have these. I have 2 cats now and 3 boxes in apartment- would I need just this one or still have an alternative litter box still
The detail. The editing. The humour. And the fact that you're not afraid to take the machines apart and improve them. Well done. Looking forward to part 2.
ONE OF THE MOST PLEASURABLE REVIEWS TO WATCH! Thank you for taking the time to do this. I was hesitant to watch at first because of the length, but it does not feel like a long video. I know that making quality videos is a lot of work. Thank you for not only taking the time to do the great review but thank you for the CREATIVE touch! Thank you for not just sitting in front of the camera and talking. The music, the extra cameras, the humor and the integration of the story of your cats make it such a pleasure to watch. But even more important, it is helping the viewer to become more familiar with the "feel" of the product rather than just the "specs." Especially on such expensive products. Thank you!!
Thank you so much, as a crazy cat lady who helps multiple rescues with indie fostering and hospice; I've been researching for weeks to help ease the litter duty. Your video was very concise and gave real-life issues that every cat parent knows will happen (pee).
For the first time in almost two decades, I am not owned by a feline. But I'm preparing myself for a future where I'll definitely be a cat butler again and armed with the knowledge for choosing the best litter box. Can't wait for all these videos.
I have no words for how much I enjoyed this review! It was so informative and your narrating style is very entertaining. You could easily narrate audible books or even a nice nature series LOL. Thank you!!
I'd like to personally thank Bertie for representing my girl's weird peeing habits and giving all of these boxes a fair test lol. Your videos are amazing. Thank you so much for all the time, money, and effort you put forth to help us make decisions on what kind of self cleaning litter box would fit our households best - and if it's worth it!
I’ve used litter robot for a number of years now. I got the litter robot 2, after it but the dust I got a litter robot 3 in December of 2018. I’ve had various issues some minor and one major issue. I appreciate how detailed you set out to be in your review and how you acknowledged that down the road there probably will be some hiccups.
Great video. I have been using Litter Robot for almost as long as the company has existed. Right at 20 years. One reason I have continued to use them is that their customer service has always been top notch. The early Litter Robot had issues (pull cord sensor would stretch and a few other problems), but the company went to such great lengths to help me fix it they won me over. Litter Robot 3 had quite a few growing pains with all the new tech added (new type of sensors, wifi, app, etc.), but the company still offered me that same customer service I got when I first started using their product. Unless the quality really starts to suffer or the customer service does I would fully tell anyone to get Litter Robot full stop.
I haven’t owned a cat in quite a while and for the reason my spouse has a problem with any smelly litter box. Thank you so much for this thorough review!
We've been using two Litter Robot 3 units for almost three years now, and are quite happy with them. Like all such devices, they have their "issues" occasionally - but it's nothing compared to the bending and scooping, lifting to empty, and weekly (or more) complete scrubbing needed with manual or even "rake-type" machines. Just pull the bag, throw it away, and put a new one in while topping off the litter as needed. I open them up to vacuum out stray sand and "debris" once every couple months, or when the barrel seems to grind when turning, and all is good. Our three cats have nearly always used electric litter boxes of some sort, so they had no problem adapting to the Litter Robot pretty much immediately. If one of them conks out irreparably (hard to imagine, but I suppose at some point it might become hard to find the parts), then I'll upgrade to whatever the current unit is. About the only features of the v4 unit I am wishing we had were the deeper waste receptacle with the easier bag attachment; I do hate those stupid clips as my fingers are too large to easily stuff the bags down into them. I can *almost* do it with my little finger. My wife has much smaller hands than I, and can easily use them, however, so I'll usually just let her put the bags in while I do the rest. 😋
Sir, did you just start your intro from the belly of the beast? 😁 Incredible! When I search for review videos this is what I’m looking for. I would literally purchase whatever you recommend. Your video was informative, thorough and thoughtfully executed. I’ve never seen anything like it on Cat TH-cam. Thank you for taking the time to make this for us. Instant follow! 🥰
This is the best review of ANY product that I have ever watched. I own the Litter Robot 3, and your video convinced me to upgrade to the Litter Robot 4. Thanks for the amazing content!!!😊
I like the way you showed the "kicker" lol Our Tabby girl has ocd so she'll kick and kick and kick. The thing which concerns me is there's only a small area for the cat to sit inside the box. How much litter does it hold exactly? Our extra large hooded litter box holds 40 lbs, giving each cat their own personal space. My tuxedo male sprays on the back of the box and runs down. My Tabby girl uses the right side middle and our Maine Coon because she's large prefers the front by the opening. I leave the flip door up so it's easier for her. Since I'm ocd, I clean out the litter box 5 times a day. I'm still not convinced a Robot would be best for our cat kids. Thank you for your amazing videos! They've been a huge help!
They look small at first glance, especially compared to traditional rectangular boxes, but none of our cats have any problem (a quite floofy but objectively smaller 8lb, and two 15lb cats) with them. Since the interior is globular, while the "sandy area" is about 12" in diameter the available space for them to move around in is much larger, and that seems to be mostly what matters to them. Especially since the litter patch is "clean" every time they use it, so they aren't spending time shuffling around looking for an unused area. Our youngest does tend to put his front paws on the "fence" area and stick his head and shoulders outside the globe, but that's just him wanting to be able to watch outside the unit for sneak attacks. He's still got plenty of room inside on the occasions he does go fully into the globe. 😺
I saw the time of this review and thought 'What can possibly take a half an hour to discuss a litter box'. Fast forward, I watched the whole thing, then watched it again with my girlfriend to convince her. I saw so many reviews that discussed what was so great about it, then they would get to the Cons and there were just too many to discuss and I never really understood who would go through the hassle with so many Cons. Your video showed how Automatic Litter Boxes have evolved over the years and I think it's about time to pick up one. I am awaiting your Part 2 as we use PETKIT products and they've been wonderful. Looking forward to other reviews. You have a way with film, and it shows.
This review is just awesome. I am an IT developer and my girlfriend is a vet. We currently own a LR3 and are developing our own automatic litter robot. We are glad you saw the same problems we saw ourselfs which pushed us towards our own solution. I would really appreciate, if you could test ours as well, when the time comes! Just awesome review mate!
Wish you best of luck 🙌 we truly need a fully functional self cleaning litterbox its almost insane that we've reached 2023 and not one product solves these issues with a reasonable price
If you could please create one that doesn't require costly bins or bags, has a fairly compact foorprint while not sounding like a jet taking off that would be so nice! Currently I have one that uses plastic bins that cost an arm and a leg and pretty well fails to accomplish the other two.
@@LhFe16 the problem will be probably the price. Since we don't use cheap labour from oversees and disposable electronic scrap which should break in a year, the price goes up significantly. This is indeed a problem we don't have a solution without having to compromise on quality or functionality. You also have to consider, server cost money and there is no monthly fee to use the app.
@@Stephanie-we5ep this is indeed one of our biggest points! Our prototype we are testing since 3 months is using standardized 60l thrashbags you can buy from discounter in Germany. I hope these things are also available in most countries. Since environment is an issue for us, our robot can a) handle natural litter like cats best, since betonite litter is bad for the environment b) we try to use high quality 3rd party parts whenever possible c) all mechanical parts are overdimonsioned and should be functioning for multiple decades (calculated). Also spare parts will be easily available. d) we are using whenever possible a biodegradable and recyclable plastic for mechanical parts. About the sound: to be able to support natural litter and also very fine filter which cleans the litter very good, we added a vibration motor. You can disable it on the app and take a bigger filter, your litter will not be very clean afterwards though. Since I am a hobby pilot, I can guarantee you, it doesn't sound like a jet motor! But it may be a bit loud. At this point, it is a trade off between very clean litter and loudness. You can set up the vibration strength and deactivate vibrations on the app though, which is at least a bit relieve...
@@drotalion im gonna be honest with you mate, the app idea is fancy and all, but personally id be happy just having a functional piece of equipment that would clean up with a press of a button. If the cost is high for server and app maintenance consider entering the market with a self cleaning litterbox with minimum requirements and test the market with it purely on functionality aspect, then when you've got some cash going and better understanding of the market, develop the app as an extra step
UK Fan here! I just upgraded my Pura Max to the LR4, I mentioned at checkout that I heard about the Robot from your channel, hopefully you get recognition. Thanks for your reviews and content!
In the past, I have always been a huge Phillip Bloom, fan, and coming across. This video was awesome! Shout out Philip bloom in carry on the awesome work!!
These machines are quite an investment, and there are an awful lot of things to consider, which is why your thoughtful and thorough review will be very much appreciated! This has got to be the best litter robot review out there! Curious if you had any pooper-bloopers during the course of filming?? Never seen such enthusiastic litter flinging!😂❤️🐾 #bloomcatfans 🥰
Thank you so much for the very detailed review. I am One Woman Three Cats (Four counting a visiting cat) and have been considering the robotic cat box for awhile. Years ago, I had one of the first self-cleaning cat boxes on the market and was thrilled with it. (It was a birthday gift and one of the best I'd ever received!) I am looking forward to learning more about my options. Thank you again, and what a lovely bunch of kitties, and very beautiful catio!
Thank you for your thorough review of multiple devices! As a new cat mom, I’m o obsessed with your objective reviews. Hard to find people that aren’t reviewing free of sponsorship
Amazingly detailed review. Thanks for taking the time to do this, I'm very much looking forward to the next videos in the series. Also, the quality of the b-roll here is so much higher than I expected for a litterbox review. xD
Incredibly helpful video! Thank you. Did the company ever fix the leak issue? My cat has the same problem (vertical) and I probably won't get this unless it is fixed. I like your DIY approach but I hope the company would just fix it instead, esp for that price point! My only other issue is that one of my cat's refuses to use a box with a cover. It seems to offend her so much (though she has four other boxes to choose from) that she will go to the location of that box and pee on the carpet instead.
Thank you. This video is only a video week old so everything in it is very new. Did you see the section about the new fence they made? That stopped the leaks for me. I don’t know if they will change the design of the LR4 to stop it happening as I think they are painted into a corner with the two piece design. I think the fence system is going to be the only way to stop it for now. I haven’t had a speck of pee go through since I started using it. 🙃
@@OneManFiveCats Thank you so much! I think I might have missed that part. I will rewatch it! And, I'm probably going to buy this. So thank you! My son will be so happy. This was so helpful!
And I am SO HAPPY the leak issue was fixed. I must get this. I currently have litter boxes all over the place and I keep wasting money on them. I need this!
I loved your video, we had a litter robot for over 10 years and only had to replace the base once with 4 cats. One of our older cats peed out the opening just like your cat was doing. The model we owned had a drawer that had a snap in grate that was the place the cats stepped on to get into the box. The cat would climb into the chamber and pee out the opening and the urine splash out on to the grate would end up in the bottom drawer under the liner. I tried different methods of trying to line the bottom drawer with dog pee pads and tried different kinds of bags. I still loved our litter robot. It doesn't matter how old your cat is, they will get used to it. Thank you for posting!
Love your videos! Probably coming in part 2 but in case somebody came to your house and stole all your litter robots, which one would you buy again? And did you have all (or several) litter robots in a room at the same time and which one was the favourite of the cats?
You should try the cat genie. You are supposed to never have to manually clean it. You just add cleaning cartridges and litter occasionally. It hooks up to water and a drain and uses a special litter designed to not absorb anything so it can wash the litter between each use. I would be interested in your thoughts on that litter box with multiple cats
please read the pinned comment, Sarah. I don't give my full thoughts on it in that review but I've had in 7 years and it misses poo constantly and then bakes it when it dries the litter which smells awful. AVOID
I watched all your videos, and we now have a Litter Robot 4. So far, we are delighted with this decision. I hope we will have many years of usage. Good job Bertie, keep up the good work.
We have the Litter Robot 3 and the Pura Max. Both are good. So far we haven't had any leakage issues with the Pura Max. High peeing seems to be a trait of Oriental cats. We have two half-Bengals who do this. Our cats (10 of them) have given both litter boxes the paw of approval. Your cats are lovely and thank you for posting this video. Looking forward to Part 2.
Thank you. 🙂Only Bertie does it, the other two orientals don’t, including his twin brother. Are you’re peeing directly onto the litter bed of the Pura Max?
@@OneManFiveCats The Bengals pee up against the back wall of the Pura Max. I think we have the one with the older liner which seemingly doesn't leak like the newer version does. Both litterboxes have been a Godsend to us as I have a damaged back and can't lift or bend for too long and my adult son has early onset arthritis (inherited from his late father) and our cats love them because they've got clean litter every time. No cat smells in our house either. I would love another Siamese (had one many years ago) but every time I say I'm going to get a Siamese, I end up with another rescue moggy. Our latest addition coming up for 4 months now was a stray our ex-neighbour had been feeding. Tried to catch him for nearly 2 years. Finally caught him when he turned up at my door very hungry and holding his leg up. Our vet thinks he's no more than 3 years old. Got him neutered, chipped and his leg sorted out. He's adapted well to being an indoor cat but is still not very trusting of us but time, love and patience will win him round.
Thank you, that was grand. I suggest you take a silver/ metallic paint sharpie marker and label the weird little icons with actual words written right beside the buttons. Men and women alike of our generation and older don't care to look those icons up every day, not matter how gadget friendly we may be! Of course, on the white litterbox 4 you can use a regular sharpie marker of any dark color.
This was the first video of yours I watched. I have now gone back and watched your amazing videos on skiathos. Knowing what I do now I am so so glad that sevvy is a part of your family! Thank you for these amazing videos and all the love you give cats everywhere.
I have the litter robot 3 connect and am seriously considering getting the latest. You really helped me learn more as part of my research. Thank you for that. Thought I'd return the favor with something I've discovered that has really made a difference. You might know this already but thought I'd share. I clean my litter robot every time I replace the bag. When I do so after wiping the inside down, I spray it with furniture polish. I then wipe off any excess. Basically waxing the plastic inside reduces any sticking. By doing this, it's much more clean between cleanings. When poop is stuck to the walls, my cats can bump into it while going. This dramatically lessens that and it's more sanitary. Anyways, thought I'd share. Thanks for your videos and can't wait till your next one.
@@achillesdesigns207 I don’t really have an issue with using it like I do. I give it a wipe down when needed then a deep clean of the globe every 6 weeks-ish.
Just ordered the Popur X5 for my parents Christmas present. In my eyes it is a much better design than the rolling internal box. I had hopes for the Petkit Max but the leaking issue and their lack of support made me look elsewhere, and I'm glad I did. I messaged Popur support about a question I had and received a response in less than 10 minutes from a real person. Looking at their campaign feedback and the community talking, all of the current issues seem to be completely fixable with software updates. Plus their responses and handling of concerns show this isn’t just a quick money grab. From the videos of the tooling being installed and technical updates, I really do believe they are in it for the long run. Can’t wait to start testing this device.
@@OneManFiveCats awaiting your review. They have a 100 day money back guarantee so if it turns out to be a flop I can fall back on that. However they have the sale running right now with no clear end date, so I wanted to nab it before it’s full price.
I finally received my popur in my country. I can say I'm really impressed. The open layout is really clever and cat friendly. I'm so happy that there are options besides rotating space pods. My cats took to it within minutes! It's silent and makes no sudden movements. The physical footprint is huge. The LED display cute but confusing and unnecesary. It has some early product niggles. They improved the device firmware a lot recently (they are very open about that in their communication). The app is still bad, but should receive attention soon too. The standard fence is a little clumsy to attach and probably not amazing for horizontal pee-ers (also the way the liner is attached could be a little leaky). But there is a higher fence option. I'm very happy. I'd be curious what the review will find. Especially about the general concept (and the current and maybe inherent niggles)
I cannot buy any self cleaning litterbox unless it is capable of handling major diarrhea episodes as my cat has an incurable digestive issue and most of his poop comes out in liquid form. And in my experience sadly his liquids poop will slip through the litter holes clogging them up and creating a disgusting, smelly massive mess that requires me to dismantle the entire thing and clean it defeating the purpose of it. So old fashioned litterbox it is! 😅
Sorry for you and your cat's troubles, though I'm confused why it being liquid is a factor when it handles liquid urine just fine? Do you mind to explain?
As the tolerated companion of a kitty who also insists upon tinkling with her rear towards the entry of her LR3, I really appreciated your insight and influence in the adaptation of a fence for the LR4. One day, I may be looking at upgrading my good ole LR3, and I expect I would have been finding myself doing a lot of extra cleaning without the implementation of a future fencey-fix.
One of my girls pees facing out and poops facing in which was a problem with the LR3. She’s a big girl and would sometimes hang her butt over the edge thus depositing her waste onto the lip or the mat outside the box. I could tell when this had happened as soon as I got home from work because of the smell. When I swapped it for an LR4 the problem went away. The bigger opening gives her more room to orient herself so while she still faces in to poop, she stands at an angle so her butt is always in the box.
Thanks so much for a fantastic review, and for your kind heart in rescuing so many cats We live on a farm in Wisconsin, where barn cats move from farm to farm like ball players. We currently have 12 indoor cats (yes, 12) and manually pick 8 boxes twice a day. Obviously they all have different toilet habits, and I've always been skeptical of technology when it comes to pet products. It seems like the companies frequently over promise and under deliver, especially with reliability and cleanability issues. Your review has made me feel comfortable enough to give it a go. Our daughter just took three of our most recently rescued kittens back to live with her and her boyfriend in NYC, and they took to using the LR4 immediately. I'll let you know how it goes with 12 cats (yes, 12). Nice job, much appreciation.
I bet there will be many people wants to get a cat if there is a perfect litter box. The cat I used to have, does not know to turn around once enter, so all the pee and poop ended up near the entrance, sometimes outside of it, he is a big male cat. As he gets older he start kicking all the litter very high. All these littler box are not going to cut it and the stair is way too high for old cat to climb in when they get older but that problem can be solve with a sturdy man made ram. Though I still have not seen any litter box that I like, some are getting close but still not solving those problem but only bandage it. Hope they continue to improve these contraptions. Thank you for the in depth comparison, this proves informative.
We had gotten our Litter robot 4, which we have named our 4th child since we love it so much shortly after bringing home our youngest at 5 weeks. He was found on a highway by a friend. Anyway he was tiny but we had zero issues with him using the LR4. It had some trouble determining his weight to track but never had an issue with him being caught. The sensors are really good.
Best video showing why I prefer outdoor cats even with an amazing demonstration saving cat masters a lot of money. Great work. Great video. Beautiful cats.
I have 3 cats and have not gone the litter robot route yet. We use the Tidy Cat breeze pellet system which is great, but wasteful- we have to change out plastic lined pads every few days. I just don't like generating that much plastic trash. But the pellets last a long time. I just wish there were decent biodegradable options. Wood heating pellets were okay but messy. Anyway, looking forward to the rest of the series!
We've had the Litter Robot 3 for over a year now and we absolutely love it for our 4 cats. We recently had to rehome one of our cats because of issues with our 1 year old daughter. We were considering adding a second litter robot because we feel like the drawer is too small and having to empty is 2-3 times a week can be a bit annoying. Thank you for the comparison of the 3 & 4. It gave me a lot to consider.
First time viewing your videos. The catio at night….wow so wonderful. Your very entertaining and delightful to watch ill look forward to watching more.
you are awesome for doing this series! I have been looking into investing into a self cleaning box for 3 years and I look forward to your new episodes b4 I make my decision. Cheers!
Haha! Finall someone put them all to the test. As a 5 cat owner, I've tried for the last 20 years so many litter boxes, and even had a go at the automatic cleaning ones - but for me they are all too small to be functional. In my opinion - a large steel pan is the best cat litter box, and the quality of litter makes a huge difference. Automatic litter boxes have very small area, keep very little litter and are noisy - my cats are afraid of the noise. I'll stick to the pans, but I am very interrested in some of the litter boxes in your test and can't wait for the next review, which I hope will be soon.
Thank you for the video. It's way above my bank to buy such things, but entertaining nevertheless and curious to see the design challenges and solutions.
Awww that's soooo detailed and amazing! I was eyeing one now, I have inherited my mom's cat and now adopted another one whose family was killed in war, once Amazon gets shipping big stuff to Ukraine again I will give my boys a big self cleaning gift ;)))))
Just rewatched the video about her beach life. I misremembered it as being a kid as it was an adult who kicked her. Thank you for saving her. If I went to Skiathos I think I’d be one woman 300 cats.
@@OneManFiveCats ah I watched that too so that must be what I remember. If either of my kids had been cruel to an animal as children I would have been so angry. Thankfully they learned to cherish them. My grumpy old girl cat thinks she’s my daughter’s sister I think. She (the grumpy cat) hates cats and doesn’t seem to think she is one.
Improvements to the litter fence also help distribute clumps in the drawer. The bottom of the fence isn’t open which really helps with unburied urine. In the LR3 the clumps of urine that weren’t buried would stick to the fence and usually fall back into the litter bed post-cycle. In the LR4 the solid bottom of the fence causes litter to wash over the damp clump thus sealing the clump so it doesn’t stick to the fence. Also there’s a small angled lip on the fence which delays clumps from falling in until later in the rotation. There’s still a bias toward the left side of the drawer but distribution is greatly improved over the LR3. I was so happy with the improvements over the LR3 that I replaced both with LR4s. Once upon a time I had 2 LR2s so me and LR go way back!
Part 2 is now live! th-cam.com/video/qO0HHtMEOb8/w-d-xo.html
The large fence is now shipping with all machines. If you are experiencing any of the problems I show then contact customer service and they will send you the new large fence free.

I have 1 cat who is 18 and has kidney issues. I absolutely love the app and the information it stores on the number of times used.
lol I got a litter robot for just one cat after a few weeks of manual scooping
I spent 30 mins Sunday morning watching this National Geographic quality level documentary of robots that cost nearly $1000 created entirely to scoop cat poop and pee - shot and edited by some guy on the other side of the world via a free video site.
What a time to be alive.

Question for you those who have these.

I never knew a cat product reviewing video could be such a cinematic masterpiece. This is like a BBC show. 🙀
Totally agree!! ❤
Agreed
the brittish are awesome! Would of been cool if he was like I need to pause this video to go have a cup of tea!
Look at his newer videos, you’ll see that he is a film maker. Makes sense, the quality is excellent!
Silly silly Grogu 😜
This is some crazy production value with the sheer amount and type of camera shots.
It's pretty clear why he's a wildlife videographer, isn't it? His videos are works of art!
The detail. The editing. The humour. And the fact that you're not afraid to take the machines apart and improve them. Well done. Looking forward to part 2.
ONE OF THE MOST PLEASURABLE REVIEWS TO WATCH! Thank you for taking the time to do this. I was hesitant to watch at first because of the length, but it does not feel like a long video. I know that making quality videos is a lot of work. Thank you for not only taking the time to do the great review but thank you for the CREATIVE touch! Thank you for not just sitting in front of the camera and talking. The music, the extra cameras, the humor and the integration of the story of your cats make it such a pleasure to watch. But even more important, it is helping the viewer to become more familiar with the "feel" of the product rather than just the "specs." Especially on such expensive products. Thank you!!
Thank you so much! 🙂
Isnt he awesome? He is a pro filmmaker) he def knows what he is doing ❤
It's like watching a David Attenborough documentary 😂 Thanks for this! Very informative 😸
Thank you so much, as a crazy cat lady who helps multiple rescues with indie fostering and hospice; I've been researching for weeks to help ease the litter duty. Your video was very concise and gave real-life issues that every cat parent knows will happen (pee).
For the first time in almost two decades, I am not owned by a feline. But I'm preparing myself for a future where I'll definitely be a cat butler again and armed with the knowledge for choosing the best litter box. Can't wait for all these videos.
"Cat Butler" 😂😂 I love this and it is the perfect description❤❤
I have no words for how much I enjoyed this review! It was so informative and your narrating style is very entertaining. You could easily narrate audible books or even a nice nature series LOL. Thank you!!
Thank you. 😊
You and me both. 😂
I'd like to personally thank Bertie for representing my girl's weird peeing habits and giving all of these boxes a fair test lol. Your videos are amazing. Thank you so much for all the time, money, and effort you put forth to help us make decisions on what kind of self cleaning litter box would fit our households best - and if it's worth it!
This was an incredible watch - like a mini documentary and you are so witty 😊
Thank you. 😊
Wow! Such an EXTENSIVE review! Thank you very much!
I’ve used litter robot for a number of years now. I got the litter robot 2, after it but the dust I got a litter robot 3 in December of 2018. I’ve had various issues some minor and one major issue.
I appreciate how detailed you set out to be in your review and how you acknowledged that down the road there probably will be some hiccups.
Cats are really the king of the internet. I effin love cats…gosh, i wouldn’t live without em.
Great video. I have been using Litter Robot for almost as long as the company has existed. Right at 20 years. One reason I have continued to use them is that their customer service has always been top notch.
The early Litter Robot had issues (pull cord sensor would stretch and a few other problems), but the company went to such great lengths to help me fix it they won me over. Litter Robot 3 had quite a few growing pains with all the new tech added (new type of sensors, wifi, app, etc.), but the company still offered me that same customer service I got when I first started using their product.
Unless the quality really starts to suffer or the customer service does I would fully tell anyone to get Litter Robot full stop.
Yes! Exactly the review content I was looking for ☺️
I just ordered the 4 using your link! Thank you for being so thorough!
You are so welcome!
I haven’t owned a cat in quite a while and for the reason my spouse has a problem with any smelly litter box. Thank you so much for this thorough review!
We've been using two Litter Robot 3 units for almost three years now, and are quite happy with them. Like all such devices, they have their "issues" occasionally - but it's nothing compared to the bending and scooping, lifting to empty, and weekly (or more) complete scrubbing needed with manual or even "rake-type" machines. Just pull the bag, throw it away, and put a new one in while topping off the litter as needed. I open them up to vacuum out stray sand and "debris" once every couple months, or when the barrel seems to grind when turning, and all is good. Our three cats have nearly always used electric litter boxes of some sort, so they had no problem adapting to the Litter Robot pretty much immediately.
If one of them conks out irreparably (hard to imagine, but I suppose at some point it might become hard to find the parts), then I'll upgrade to whatever the current unit is. About the only features of the v4 unit I am wishing we had were the deeper waste receptacle with the easier bag attachment; I do hate those stupid clips as my fingers are too large to easily stuff the bags down into them. I can *almost* do it with my little finger. My wife has much smaller hands than I, and can easily use them, however, so I'll usually just let her put the bags in while I do the rest. 😋
Sir, did you just start your intro from the belly of the beast? 😁 Incredible! When I search for review videos this is what I’m looking for. I would literally purchase whatever you recommend. Your video was informative, thorough and thoughtfully executed. I’ve never seen anything like it on Cat TH-cam. Thank you for taking the time to make this for us. Instant follow! 🥰
Thank you very much. 😊
This is the best review of ANY product that I have ever watched. I own the Litter Robot 3, and your video convinced me to upgrade to the Litter Robot 4. Thanks for the amazing content!!!😊
Thank you 😊
Thanks! This was exactly the kind of review I've been waiting for for this litterbox. Looking forward to part 2
Thank you Willie 🙂
Ok the sound test was funny as hell, you got me good.
The personality shines through and keeps viewers coming back.
I like the way you showed the "kicker" lol
Our Tabby girl has ocd so she'll kick and kick and kick. The thing which concerns me is there's only a small area for the cat to sit inside the box. How much litter does it hold exactly? Our extra large hooded litter box holds 40 lbs, giving each cat their own personal space. My tuxedo male sprays on the back of the box and runs down. My Tabby girl uses the right side middle and our Maine Coon because she's large prefers the front by the opening. I leave the flip door up so it's easier for her. Since I'm ocd, I clean out the litter box 5 times a day.
I'm still not convinced a Robot would be best for our cat kids. Thank you for your amazing videos! They've been a huge help!
They look small at first glance, especially compared to traditional rectangular boxes, but none of our cats have any problem (a quite floofy but objectively smaller 8lb, and two 15lb cats) with them. Since the interior is globular, while the "sandy area" is about 12" in diameter the available space for them to move around in is much larger, and that seems to be mostly what matters to them. Especially since the litter patch is "clean" every time they use it, so they aren't spending time shuffling around looking for an unused area.
Our youngest does tend to put his front paws on the "fence" area and stick his head and shoulders outside the globe, but that's just him wanting to be able to watch outside the unit for sneak attacks. He's still got plenty of room inside on the occasions he does go fully into the globe. 😺
Thanks! Looking at all the options and so overwhelmed! I appreciate your videos. They are so helpful!
Thank you :)
That was hilarious! Love your video. Great work.
I saw the time of this review and thought 'What can possibly take a half an hour to discuss a litter box'. Fast forward, I watched the whole thing, then watched it again with my girlfriend to convince her. I saw so many reviews that discussed what was so great about it, then they would get to the Cons and there were just too many to discuss and I never really understood who would go through the hassle with so many Cons. Your video showed how Automatic Litter Boxes have evolved over the years and I think it's about time to pick up one.
I am awaiting your Part 2 as we use PETKIT products and they've been wonderful. Looking forward to other reviews. You have a way with film, and it shows.
This review is just awesome. I am an IT developer and my girlfriend is a vet. We currently own a LR3 and are developing our own automatic litter robot. We are glad you saw the same problems we saw ourselfs which pushed us towards our own solution. I would really appreciate, if you could test ours as well, when the time comes!
Just awesome review mate!
Wish you best of luck 🙌 we truly need a fully functional self cleaning litterbox its almost insane that we've reached 2023 and not one product solves these issues with a reasonable price
If you could please create one that doesn't require costly bins or bags, has a fairly compact foorprint while not sounding like a jet taking off that would be so nice! Currently I have one that uses plastic bins that cost an arm and a leg and pretty well fails to accomplish the other two.
@@LhFe16 the problem will be probably the price. Since we don't use cheap labour from oversees and disposable electronic scrap which should break in a year, the price goes up significantly. This is indeed a problem we don't have a solution without having to compromise on quality or functionality. You also have to consider, server cost money and there is no monthly fee to use the app.
@@Stephanie-we5ep this is indeed one of our biggest points! Our prototype we are testing since 3 months is using standardized 60l thrashbags you can buy from discounter in Germany. I hope these things are also available in most countries.
Since environment is an issue for us, our robot can
a) handle natural litter like cats best, since betonite litter is bad for the environment
b) we try to use high quality 3rd party parts whenever possible
c) all mechanical parts are overdimonsioned and should be functioning for multiple decades (calculated). Also spare parts will be easily available.
d) we are using whenever possible a biodegradable and recyclable plastic for mechanical parts.
About the sound: to be able to support natural litter and also very fine filter which cleans the litter very good, we added a vibration motor. You can disable it on the app and take a bigger filter, your litter will not be very clean afterwards though. Since I am a hobby pilot, I can guarantee you, it doesn't sound like a jet motor! But it may be a bit loud.
At this point, it is a trade off between very clean litter and loudness. You can set up the vibration strength and deactivate vibrations on the app though, which is at least a bit relieve...
@@drotalion im gonna be honest with you mate, the app idea is fancy and all, but personally id be happy just having a functional piece of equipment that would clean up with a press of a button. If the cost is high for server and app maintenance consider entering the market with a self cleaning litterbox with minimum requirements and test the market with it purely on functionality aspect, then when you've got some cash going and better understanding of the market, develop the app as an extra step
UK Fan here! I just upgraded my Pura Max to the LR4, I mentioned at checkout that I heard about the Robot from your channel, hopefully you get recognition. Thanks for your reviews and content!
We need this for our 3 cats! Fantastic review!
Litter robot is by far the best one on the market. Thank you for the thorough review.
In the past, I have always been a huge Phillip Bloom, fan, and coming across. This video was awesome! Shout out Philip bloom in carry on the awesome work!!
These machines are quite an investment, and there are an awful lot of things to consider, which is why your thoughtful and thorough review will be very much appreciated! This has got to be the best litter robot review out there!
Curious if you had any pooper-bloopers during the course of filming?? Never seen such enthusiastic litter flinging!😂❤️🐾 #bloomcatfans 🥰
Thank you so much for the very detailed review. I am One Woman Three Cats (Four counting a visiting cat) and have been considering the robotic cat box for awhile. Years ago, I had one of the first self-cleaning cat boxes on the market and was thrilled with it. (It was a birthday gift and one of the best I'd ever received!) I am looking forward to learning more about my options. Thank you again, and what a lovely bunch of kitties, and very beautiful catio!
These videos are the best. Please keep them up!
This video was wonderfully edited and organized. Great work brother 💪🏽🤠. Definitely going to be getting the Litter Robot 4 🇺🇸
I wish this was in my budget it be nice
There are no two ways about it. You GOTTA love a bloke with SIX cats. You gotta.
Such a thorough and entertaining review.
Thank you so much!
Tremendous.
Thank you for your thorough review of multiple devices! As a new cat mom, I’m o obsessed with your objective reviews. Hard to find people that aren’t reviewing free of sponsorship
Amazingly detailed review. Thanks for taking the time to do this, I'm very much looking forward to the next videos in the series. Also, the quality of the b-roll here is so much higher than I expected for a litterbox review. xD
Thank you. Filming is my job after all! 🙂
Incredibly helpful video! Thank you. Did the company ever fix the leak issue? My cat has the same problem (vertical) and I probably won't get this unless it is fixed. I like your DIY approach but I hope the company would just fix it instead, esp for that price point! My only other issue is that one of my cat's refuses to use a box with a cover. It seems to offend her so much (though she has four other boxes to choose from) that she will go to the location of that box and pee on the carpet instead.
Thank you. This video is only a video week old so everything in it is very new. Did you see the section about the new fence they made? That stopped the leaks for me.
I don’t know if they will change the design of the LR4 to stop it happening as I think they are painted into a corner with the two piece design. I think the fence system is going to be the only way to stop it for now.
I haven’t had a speck of pee go through since I started using it. 🙃
@@OneManFiveCats Thank you so much! I think I might have missed that part. I will rewatch it! And, I'm probably going to buy this. So thank you! My son will be so happy. This was so helpful!
@@LifeDIY it’s at 22:11🙂
@@OneManFiveCats Thank you so much!!! So helpful!
And I am SO HAPPY the leak issue was fixed. I must get this. I currently have litter boxes all over the place and I keep wasting money on them. I need this!
I loved your video, we had a litter robot for over 10 years and only had to replace the base once with 4 cats. One of our older cats peed out the opening just like your cat was doing. The model we owned had a drawer that had a snap in grate that was the place the cats stepped on to get into the box. The cat would climb into the chamber and pee out the opening and the urine splash out on to the grate would end up in the bottom drawer under the liner. I tried different methods of trying to line the bottom drawer with dog pee pads and tried different kinds of bags. I still loved our litter robot. It doesn't matter how old your cat is, they will get used to it. Thank you for posting!
Love your videos! Probably coming in part 2 but in case somebody came to your house and stole all your litter robots, which one would you buy again? And did you have all (or several) litter robots in a room at the same time and which one was the favourite of the cats?
Yep you need to wait until the end! The journey is the best bit but would you go on it if I just told you the answer? 🤔
@@OneManFiveCats Yes, would still watch. Resident cat says he just wants to do his business with a robot Percy approves of.
@@justwatching5188 Percy used them all. 😂
@@OneManFiveCats Resident cat is still waiting for part 2? Please?
thank you for the details. Each cat is gorgeous! Looking for to part 2, and this has helped in my decision between the two Whisker items.
Super easy, barely an inconvenience!
That line alone earned my sub 😂
Holy shit what a HIGH quality video. I thought I was watching a feature on the BBC for a minute
You should try the cat genie. You are supposed to never have to manually clean it. You just add cleaning cartridges and litter occasionally. It hooks up to water and a drain and uses a special litter designed to not absorb anything so it can wash the litter between each use. I would be interested in your thoughts on that litter box with multiple cats
please read the pinned comment, Sarah. I don't give my full thoughts on it in that review but I've had in 7 years and it misses poo constantly and then bakes it when it dries the litter which smells awful. AVOID
I watched all your videos, and we now have a Litter Robot 4. So far, we are delighted with this decision. I hope we will have many years of usage. Good job Bertie, keep up the good work.
Bertie says thanks! 😅
Beautifully produced, entertaining and very educational. I learnt stuff! Thank you.
Thanks Gibbo 😊
Thanks for your review! I just wish the Litter Robot were available in Hong Kong...if I could buy one, I would.
Thank you!
We have the Litter Robot 3 and the Pura Max. Both are good. So far we haven't had any leakage issues with the Pura Max. High peeing seems to be a trait of Oriental cats. We have two half-Bengals who do this. Our cats (10 of them) have given both litter boxes the paw of approval. Your cats are lovely and thank you for posting this video. Looking forward to Part 2.
Thank you. 🙂Only Bertie does it, the other two orientals don’t, including his twin brother.
Are you’re peeing directly onto the litter bed of the Pura Max?
@@OneManFiveCats The Bengals pee up against the back wall of the Pura Max. I think we have the one with the older liner which seemingly doesn't leak like the newer version does. Both litterboxes have been a Godsend to us as I have a damaged back and can't lift or bend for too long and my adult son has early onset arthritis (inherited from his late father) and our cats love them because they've got clean litter every time. No cat smells in our house either. I would love another Siamese (had one many years ago) but every time I say I'm going to get a Siamese, I end up with another rescue moggy. Our latest addition coming up for 4 months now was a stray our ex-neighbour had been feeding. Tried to catch him for nearly 2 years. Finally caught him when he turned up at my door very hungry and holding his leg up. Our vet thinks he's no more than 3 years old. Got him neutered, chipped and his leg sorted out. He's adapted well to being an indoor cat but is still not very trusting of us but time, love and patience will win him round.
Awesome video, love your storytelling style and the details on the machines. You've won a subscriber, want to see part 2...
Thank you, that was grand.
I suggest you take a silver/ metallic paint sharpie marker and label the weird little icons with actual words written right beside the buttons. Men and women alike of our generation and older don't care to look those icons up every day, not matter how gadget friendly we may be!
Of course, on the white litterbox 4 you can use a regular sharpie marker of any dark color.
This was the first video of yours I watched. I have now gone back and watched your amazing videos on skiathos. Knowing what I do now I am so so glad that sevvy is a part of your family! Thank you for these amazing videos and all the love you give cats everywhere.
Thanks so much!
I have the litter robot 3 connect and am seriously considering getting the latest. You really helped me learn more as part of my research. Thank you for that. Thought I'd return the favor with something I've discovered that has really made a difference. You might know this already but thought I'd share. I clean my litter robot every time I replace the bag. When I do so after wiping the inside down, I spray it with furniture polish. I then wipe off any excess. Basically waxing the plastic inside reduces any sticking. By doing this, it's much more clean between cleanings. When poop is stuck to the walls, my cats can bump into it while going. This dramatically lessens that and it's more sanitary. Anyways, thought I'd share. Thanks for your videos and can't wait till your next one.
I might try that. I don’t fancy cleaning my machine every 3 days though!
Haha.. That's a good point with now 6 cats. But now typing that makes me think it's more of a need.. I'd love to hear what you think.
@@achillesdesigns207 I don’t really have an issue with using it like I do. I give it a wipe down when needed then a deep clean of the globe every 6 weeks-ish.
I don’t have a cat (only a dog), but as engineer I watched the whole thing, and you’ve done an amazing job for product testing.
Thank you:)
😍 that purr, when you asked that one or the old one.
Just ordered the Popur X5 for my parents Christmas present. In my eyes it is a much better design than the rolling internal box. I had hopes for the Petkit Max but the leaking issue and their lack of support made me look elsewhere, and I'm glad I did. I messaged Popur support about a question I had and received a response in less than 10 minutes from a real person. Looking at their campaign feedback and the community talking, all of the current issues seem to be completely fixable with software updates. Plus their responses and handling of concerns show this isn’t just a quick money grab. From the videos of the tooling being installed and technical updates, I really do believe they are in it for the long run. Can’t wait to start testing this device.
The Popur is good, not perfect though. I will explain everything in part 2
@@OneManFiveCats awaiting your review. They have a 100 day money back guarantee so if it turns out to be a flop I can fall back on that. However they have the sale running right now with no clear end date, so I wanted to nab it before it’s full price.
Oh can't wait for the full test of all the other ones
I finally received my popur in my country. I can say I'm really impressed. The open layout is really clever and cat friendly. I'm so happy that there are options besides rotating space pods.
My cats took to it within minutes! It's silent and makes no sudden movements. The physical footprint is huge. The LED display cute but confusing and unnecesary.
It has some early product niggles. They improved the device firmware a lot recently (they are very open about that in their communication). The app is still bad, but should receive attention soon too.
The standard fence is a little clumsy to attach and probably not amazing for horizontal pee-ers (also the way the liner is attached could be a little leaky). But there is a higher fence option.
I'm very happy.
I'd be curious what the review will find. Especially about the general concept (and the current and maybe inherent niggles)
This is so great! Been thinking about taking the plunge and this is such useful and comprehensive information, thank you so much! Subscribed.
This video is pure gold ❤ thank you 😻
I cannot buy any self cleaning litterbox unless it is capable of handling major diarrhea episodes as my cat has an incurable digestive issue and most of his poop comes out in liquid form. And in my experience sadly his liquids poop will slip through the litter holes clogging them up and creating a disgusting, smelly massive mess that requires me to dismantle the entire thing and clean it defeating the purpose of it. So old fashioned litterbox it is! 😅
Sorry for you and your cat's troubles, though I'm confused why it being liquid is a factor when it handles liquid urine just fine? Do you mind to explain?
As the tolerated companion of a kitty who also insists upon tinkling with her rear towards the entry of her LR3, I really appreciated your insight and influence in the adaptation of a fence for the LR4. One day, I may be looking at upgrading my good ole LR3, and I expect I would have been finding myself doing a lot of extra cleaning without the implementation of a future fencey-fix.
One of my girls pees facing out and poops facing in which was a problem with the LR3. She’s a big girl and would sometimes hang her butt over the edge thus depositing her waste onto the lip or the mat outside the box. I could tell when this had happened as soon as I got home from work because of the smell.
When I swapped it for an LR4 the problem went away. The bigger opening gives her more room to orient herself so while she still faces in to poop, she stands at an angle so her butt is always in the box.
Thanks so much for a fantastic review, and for your kind heart in rescuing so many cats We live on a farm in Wisconsin, where barn cats move from farm to farm like ball players. We currently have 12 indoor cats (yes, 12) and manually pick 8 boxes twice a day. Obviously they all have different toilet habits, and I've always been skeptical of technology when it comes to pet products. It seems like the companies frequently over promise and under deliver, especially with reliability and cleanability issues. Your review has made me feel comfortable enough to give it a go. Our daughter just took three of our most recently rescued kittens back to live with her and her boyfriend in NYC, and they took to using the LR4 immediately. I'll let you know how it goes with 12 cats (yes, 12). Nice job, much appreciation.
The production quality of this video series certainly meets or surpasses most of what that the "professional" studios produce these days. Bravo!
Great review and love your family! Looking for a new automatic box so can't wait for part 2
That catio looks incredible
I bet there will be many people wants to get a cat if there is a perfect litter box. The cat I used to have, does not know to turn around once enter, so all the pee and poop ended up near the entrance, sometimes outside of it, he is a big male cat. As he gets older he start kicking all the litter very high. All these littler box are not going to cut it and the stair is way too high for old cat to climb in when they get older but that problem can be solve with a sturdy man made ram. Though I still have not seen any litter box that I like, some are getting close but still not solving those problem but only bandage it. Hope they continue to improve these contraptions. Thank you for the in depth comparison, this proves informative.
Thank you! I think the litter robot 4 with the new large fence would work, there’s already a step but you could and a ramp.
We had gotten our Litter robot 4, which we have named our 4th child since we love it so much shortly after bringing home our youngest at 5 weeks. He was found on a highway by a friend. Anyway he was tiny but we had zero issues with him using the LR4. It had some trouble determining his weight to track but never had an issue with him being caught. The sensors are really good.
Best video showing why I prefer outdoor cats even with an amazing demonstration saving cat masters a lot of money. Great work. Great video. Beautiful cats.
Not always possible to let your cats outside. Most likely all mine would be dead by now if I let them out where I live.
Your initial comment before you edited is was quite offensive and astonishingly ignorant.
Fantastic content! Love the edits and clips ! Keep up the amazing work !!!
thank you!
Thank you and your team of...experts :P so very very much for going through the trouble of investigating these!
I have 3 cats and have not gone the litter robot route yet. We use the Tidy Cat breeze pellet system which is great, but wasteful- we have to change out plastic lined pads every few days. I just don't like generating that much plastic trash. But the pellets last a long time. I just wish there were decent biodegradable options. Wood heating pellets were okay but messy. Anyway, looking forward to the rest of the series!
I appreciate the hell out of you and this video, thank you!
Glad it helped!
Trustworthy reviews. Beautifully done.
We've had the Litter Robot 3 for over a year now and we absolutely love it for our 4 cats. We recently had to rehome one of our cats because of issues with our 1 year old daughter. We were considering adding a second litter robot because we feel like the drawer is too small and having to empty is 2-3 times a week can be a bit annoying. Thank you for the comparison of the 3 & 4. It gave me a lot to consider.
Only 2-3 times a week for 4 cats is honestly pretty impressive!
I feel like my 1 cat alone poops that much 😂😂
First time viewing your videos. The catio at night….wow so wonderful. Your very entertaining and delightful to watch ill look forward to watching more.
Thanks Aslana 😊
the catio is absolutely breathtaking! a video on that would be incredible
Thank you. Coming in March. :)
Thank you for your hard work!
Thank you, that’s really kind. 😊
I love the sound of your voice :)
Thanks 😅
you are awesome for doing this series! I have been looking into investing into a self cleaning box for 3 years and I look forward to your new episodes b4 I make my decision. Cheers!
Can't wait for part 2! I just got the Pura Max for my boy and I personally love it. I'm interested to see your opinion on it!
I really appreciate your extensive efforts!! Berty is similar in his bathroom issue to my Charlie lol
17:32 I didn't expect a Close Encounters reference in a litter box video 😂
It's a master test indeed!
Haha! Finall someone put them all to the test. As a 5 cat owner, I've tried for the last 20 years so many litter boxes, and even had a go at the automatic cleaning ones - but for me they are all too small to be functional. In my opinion - a large steel pan is the best cat litter box, and the quality of litter makes a huge difference. Automatic litter boxes have very small area, keep very little litter and are noisy - my cats are afraid of the noise. I'll stick to the pans, but I am very interrested in some of the litter boxes in your test and can't wait for the next review, which I hope will be soon.
I love this sooo much man! Woooow speechless masterpiece tbh
Thanks 😊
I don't even have indoor cats, and yet I watched this anyways because why not? And I don't regret it, this was truly like watching an amazing show
Thank you for the video. It's way above my bank to buy such things, but entertaining nevertheless and curious to see the design challenges and solutions.
Thank you for putting in the time and effort of putting together such a comprehensive, well-shot review!
Awww that's soooo detailed and amazing! I was eyeing one now, I have inherited my mom's cat and now adopted another one whose family was killed in war, once Amazon gets shipping big stuff to Ukraine again I will give my boys a big self cleaning gift ;)))))
Sevvy! Im so glad you rescued her. I remember the story about a kid kicking her on the beach.
She’s so wonderful, grumpy, beautiful and affectionate. It’s such a relief to have her here. ❤️
Just rewatched the video about her beach life. I misremembered it as being a kid as it was an adult who kicked her. Thank you for saving her. If I went to Skiathos I think I’d be one woman 300 cats.
@@molybdomancer195 it was a kid who tried to hit her in “The Skiathos Kittens: Part 3” 😔
@@OneManFiveCats ah I watched that too so that must be what I remember. If either of my kids had been cruel to an animal as children I would have been so angry. Thankfully they learned to cherish them. My grumpy old girl cat thinks she’s my daughter’s sister I think. She (the grumpy cat) hates cats and doesn’t seem to think she is one.
This video is so helpful. Thank you to you and all your cats 🐈
Thank you Carla :)
Improvements to the litter fence also help distribute clumps in the drawer. The bottom of the fence isn’t open which really helps with unburied urine. In the LR3 the clumps of urine that weren’t buried would stick to the fence and usually fall back into the litter bed post-cycle. In the LR4 the solid bottom of the fence causes litter to wash over the damp clump thus sealing the clump so it doesn’t stick to the fence.
Also there’s a small angled lip on the fence which delays clumps from falling in until later in the rotation. There’s still a bias toward the left side of the drawer but distribution is greatly improved over the LR3.
I was so happy with the improvements over the LR3 that I replaced both with LR4s. Once upon a time I had 2 LR2s so me and LR go way back!
This is awesome! I love you man, been watching since 2014 , Sony reviews
Thank you!
