Convinced me to purchase this litter box after watching your video. Had a litter robot for 15 yrs, but died. So I’ve used this for 4 days so far it’s goin well. Thanks for your review
Thank you, I have 5 cats who are indoor/outdoor cats but when the weather closes in they like to use the litter box, I started looking at auto cleaning simply because of my disability this is the first one that I have seen that uses the phone app but also looks a lot smaller than some of the other ones. I use a clumping litter already and was really pleased that you pointed out that the times for auto cleaning could be changed as it can take up to 5min for the clumping action to work.
My advice is to use wet tissue to clean the insides every 3 weeks and deep clean with water and soap every 6 months. This is more effective and less time consuming and also I use the highest cycle time so the litter will have more time to clump and less stick to the sides during the clean cycle.
Great idea I have baby wipes in the bathroom as they work well on the whole family so it stands to reason it should work well on the litter box as well. As you say every 6 months would be fine too as this would cut down on wasting litter when it comes time to cleaning the unit out.
Hi, i'm a new pura max user for 2 days now. I'm using wood litter & I have to separate the clean from the dirty litter and the poops as the they are all mixed up. I have changed the litter type settings on the apps from mixed to tofu but i do not see much difference. I really need ur suggestion on this
@@annesuhairi2931 It sounds like you put too much litter in. I also use wood clumping litter. Cat's Best. I have filled in significantly below the max line and it works just fine. Also set cleaning time to 15-20 min. after cat visit. :) Check the fb support group. There are lots of great advise.
I noticed your litter looked wet, I have the Pura X and was having the same problem with wet litter, I read this happens when your litter levels become too low, I maintain a 90-100% litter levels to stop wet litter, one of my cats stopped using the Pura X because of the wet litter, I've ordered the Max thanks to your review, my 3 cats will have the choice of both X and Max.
Thanks you so much for your review. I saw this litter box pop through my Facebook feed and was interested. When I clicked the link there was a promotional price running so decided to look for some reviews. Your review was very in-depth and informative and helped me to decide to order it at the VERY special price. I hope it works well as the last automatic box we had (Natures Miracle) was very noisy and actually ended up breaking after 6 months of use. I hope this litter box fairs better. Thank you again.
Thanks for the review. I have 5 cats and would empty this daily. My biggest concern was taking it apart to clean it once a month. This thing will be so much easier than scooping 4 litter boxes every other day and washing them once a month. Thanks
You have 5 cats and four litter boxes and only scoop every other day? I have multiple cats and scoop at least twice a day. I would have a serious odor problem if I waited that long and I use a high quality clumping litter, but still
Let's talk about some hacks for this. Finding a bag that fits that is cheaper for it would make this a an auto supreme litter box. Also filling those bottles with a cat safe spray would be amazing.
I have used Fresh step clumping litter for over 20 years with my cats & I Love that brand.. I am wanting to get this litter box or the litter robot I’m on the fence as to which one
How do you get rid of old litter? On the PETKIT X it has a button to dump the old litter into the waste container but on the Max I don’t see that option.
I use the bags of tofu litter and it's not as bulky as a big bag. Putting it into maintenence mode makes it easy to fill and clean. It's super easy to clean and I'm disabled. Using a shower is the easiest method but I've used a wipe on it too in the past. I also use the little blocks in the trash tray to help with the loss of smell. Best money I've ever spent.
The inside appears pretty small. Years ago I had one of the first litter robots (ka-ching) and neither cat was thrilled with it. Finally my one cat decided it was easier to just eliminate outside the "bot" then inside, or would enter and not turn around resulting with urine on the step that couldn't be cleaned. The price is this is pretty high - why aren't they made with a bigger inside so cats don't feel trapped? But at the end of the day you still have to haul a bag of used litter to the trash. Of course, its all about what one can afford and what the cat will use. Thanks for the video.
Hi, I received my pura max on June 17 and all has been working great. I kept one regular litter box available while they got use to the pura max. I let the Regular box get filled up before scooping while keeping the pm litter fresh with litter deodorizer. After a week and a half I was able to remove the extra litter box. I really like being able to see which cat has used it by their individual weight with the app notifications. I have 5 cats by the way, ranging from 1 year to 15 years old. I also built a little platform the same size as the included mat so the olde cats can climb in. So far so good. I’ll update after my first full disassembly and cleaning
HI Brokenwench, I am very interested in how it worked out for you after a few weeks. How is the final cleansing? how to clean it thoroughly and get out the litter's remains? I would love to hear back from you. Thank you in advance. LG from Switzerland.
Here we go again with the same comment. This person have the same comments in all the videos that review this litter box. Very odd I don’t trust this comment
Thank you for your videos. I heard some people have leakage problem for Pura max due to the stitches of the base. I've been looking at PetSnowy SNOW⁺ and haven't heard about leakage problems yet. Hope you could do a review of PetSnowy SNOW⁺
Leakage?! Yikes. I haven’t experience that at all luckily. Petsnowy did reach out to me but have ghosted me. I think I scared them when I said I would give a full honest review 🤣
Great video. I got so excited after ordering it and watching this video. I bet it will work several times better with higher quality litter, like organic/ flushable littler.
I love the idea of automatic boxes, especially since I have 9 cats but I also use pine pellets and I've yet to find a auto box that allows pine pellets 😢
Thanks for the review. We have also bought the petkit pura max for our 6 months old ragdoll. And we have followed all the instructions properly. However we cant seem to make the smell go away. It only takes some hours after use and it starts to smell a lot from the dustbin even though it`s sealed and closed. We empty the bin everyday but it still smells. We hav set the timer on for 20 minutes so the litter gets clumped properly. We use clay litter. Do u have any tips for us. And do u know what the rubber place is for in the dustbin that looks likee a small filter.
Love but my 12 pound cat barely fits inside and makes it hard for him to move to scratch litter over potty . So small inside that he sometime have accident outside of box
I’ve had it for 3 days and when trying to do a manual clean on the app, it states network error even though the litter box is connected to the app and my network is showing as excellent… anyone experiencing this and found a solution?
So this liter box has a fabric floor which cat claws will puncture, had to stick with liter robot since I've had the LR3 for few years and going to get the LR3 just because of that floor and warranty petkit is 1 year and LR is 18 months
Yeah the 360° mess and troublesome crevices is the first thing I thought of looking at these automated litter boxes. It's way easy to just clean a flat tray with plastic bag over in it? Other than novelty of having an expensive thing at home..
it is easier but some people have busy schedules or disabilties that can be challenging with maintaining a litter box daily. Also some people dont have the space for the amount of boxes recommended per cat in house. I believe this can replace litter boxes enough for give or take 5 cats.
I see that it comes with an adapter, but do you know if it takes batteries also? I'm interested in the Pura Max, however it would be going into an area (a closet) without an electrical outlet. Thanks for the thorough, detailed review.
It looks smaller than the litter robot to me cause I have a litter robot but my cats are less than 10lbs so a smaller automatic litter box would be better and I love that this one has the sealed compartment!
I have the same one and I have 1 Sphynx cat I have to change the waste bin every 5 days for one cat and every time i squish the litter down in the waste bin and return it the machine thinks that my cat is in the litter box toileting and won’t run a manual clean. Another thing that I’ve found is that the scales are off and also I never get any notification about the cat litter being empty it’s been close to empty more than empty than what yours was and it would still tell me the cat litter was full
My Pura Max problem is urine found deposited at the top of the base unit. One more problem is while on cleaning cycle, it constantly stop for reason cat is using the toilet despite no cat inside it.
This is an ongoing issue if your cat pees high above the seams. Unfortunately I contacted the company and they told me that I could put stickers on the seams. Lol. I only had this happen on the first time before taking it apart and cleaning it. It doesn't happen anymore for some reason. As far as the other issue you are having, maybe the unit might not be on level ground or maybe something else is causing this like the mat is too close to the unit. OR MAYBE It is just a defective unit.
@@michaelhinchey I sealed all the openings that might have contributed the problem with adhesive silicone sealant. The problem is not as bad as before. For the 2nd problem, yes it has to be placed on the floor for it to work properly. Thank you for your response.
Thank for the review, I 've purchased this a few months back, at USD 156 without the mat, but I purchased the mat afterward, whiles I do have pros and cons, the cons are only a minor thing. I used petkit 5 in 1 mix litter. anyway the pros, the unit is a all in one, easy to clean, although I haven't the change to clean it, but you can just put it in the bath tub, and use the shower head. cons are mainly cosmetic looks, the edges are badly made, the toilet bin and the display moves around when you touch the button or display. Now the main thing is, ive have this a few months, my cat doesn't even like to use it, used it twice so far, so how do people get their cat to use it, my cat isnt scared of it, it just like to watch it move.
Thanks for your video on the Pura Max. I got mine and set it up but my cat is not comfortable using it. She went near few times and then backed away. Finally had to setup the old box in a different room. Wonder if this was a waste of money or I can re-train her in some way. Like your reset hack to refill litter as this was my original concern as well. But now I am thinking how do I empty the litter without spilling and making a mess. Would love to hear if you have any thoughts.
Don't let your cat see the cleaning process just yet, change the setting to manual clean, then it's basically a regular litter box. Let your cat get used to it first then you can turn on the automatic cleaning feature.
Put old poop/pee clumps ,some old litter they are currently using into the new Max. Left only 1 old regular litter box ,put it next to the Max ,and Remove all others litter boxes. Don’t clean the old regular litter box. When it too dirty, cats no choice and will look to other cleaner litter box aka Pura max. Turned off the automatically cleaning after they left. Check your cats data time,what time they using it. Then Use schedule cleaning mode,set a properly times cleaning when cats are sleeping. Take few days to weeks. Patient.
I have it linked in my amazon storefront under litter and litter boxes. I’m reviewing the litter robot 4 soon if you want to wait and see how that goes!
@@roninx1413 Maby build a box with the same size out of cardboard and see if your cat fits in it 😅 I dot think the wight could be a problem, it's more about fitting in comfortably while peeing in the middle 🤷🏼♀️
I’m really thinking about getting a automatic litter box because my kitten doesn’t want to cover his poop. We use same litter and litter box he used use when he was with his mum and siblings. We clean twice a day the litter box but he just doesn’t cover his poop. He is digging on the other side of the litter box not near the poop 😅. At the moment is not so big problem because I’m working from home but I might not in future so it wouldn’t be there someone most of the time to clean straightaway the poop. The smell is quite strong when not covered. My kitten is ragdoll so he will grow into a quite big cat. Do you think this automatic litter box would be big enough for large breed like him? That’s my main concern because I saw most of the automatic litter boxes from different brands look quite small. Also, did you have any issues with the cats getting scared of the litter box when seeing it self cleaning?
I feel like all automatic boxes are limited in space. Sven is 14 pounds are is a pretty snug fit. My cats eventually got use to the box cleaning their poop, but in the beginning Louise would go check on it and constantly interrupt the cycle
@@SvenandRobbie That’s great! Hopefully it would work for my kitten too. Good thing is that we can return it in case of the kitten doesn’t like the litter box. Thank you for your reply 🙏
I'm in the same boat. I have an open-air Litter Maid automatic litter box that I use with World's Best Cat Litter. I had to go automatic, because I travel a lot for work, and my little man will not cover his business. He also goes in the exact same spot. However, he finds a way to step on the power button, or he messes with the rake during a cycle like a Gremlin - I've seen him do it, which errors it out and turns it into a manual box anyway. There have been multiple times I've come home exasperated because of this. It's only because of the quality of the litter that it's not a bigger issue. I called him little, but he's actually pretty big. I bought the PuraMax today on an Amazon Prime Day sale I couldn't pass up, especially since I've had my eye on it for weeks now. I'm glad for these honest reviews, because it makes me feel better about my choice.
Funny! My female cat, she's mixed with ragdoll and she wouldn't cover her poops or pee when she was a kitten. I had to insist by grabbing her and put her again in the litter box while saying "poop, cover poop". As she started to grow she would sometimes be a smartass and not cover it but I would put her back and then she would cover while complaining lol. Now, she's almost 2 years old and she covers her poops and pee (only in a blue moon she decides to be a diva and not do it lol)
I have 3 cats and I have both the Pura Max and Litter Robot 3, hands down Pura Max is better than Litter Robot. I use Fresh Step Clean Paws Multi-Cat Scented Clumping Clay Cat Litter and the highest time setting and don't really have an issue. It still gets dirty but so does my Litter Robot.
Omg I just ordered this. I’m so excited. 💯💗 I love my cats but right now when they pop one on the edges of the litterbox I’m like y tho! Ugh the pain of scraping the edges. I can’t wait to give this a try!!! Thanks for an awesome review 💯🤘🏼
you could try to use your own shipping company? i live in the middle east and the cost of one puramax around here is around $1000. I went around it and had it ordered from their wesbite to an american address that the delivery company i use has provided. I ended up only having to pay 80$ to get it delivered here which is a significantly cheaper option than if i just ordered it from here
I use the bags from pura max but just dump the litter out of the bag and reuse it if its not too too bad. I've had success up to 3 times without it smelling.
Hi I love the pura max everything is so easy never had a leak issue only question or complaint is in the app it doesn’t show the litter level I contacted PETKIT customer service no solution yet if anyone had it before and can help would really appreciate it.
Company is in China and has no US support/contact. Number on website goes to a multi-distribution warehouse in FL. All emails go to china. This explains why there is no physical address listed on the site. Just got all this from a warehouse worker. This explains why I am having so many issues getting a refund (two weeks now)...if you are thinking about buying this, please do not. The mat in the bottom can be cut by a cats claw and urine will leak down into the base...and the issues go on and on...again, find another product and avoid all the problems I am going through.
This brand is really not worth it. Mine got broken 3 times since I bought and their warranty lasts only for 1 year 🙁 I contacted customer service and they aren't very helpful. I'm switching the company.
We have 3 cats. 2 of them are 12lbs and 14lbs.they go in there fine. They can move around in there , they even learn how to poop/pee correct way..that pop the heads outside at the entrance.
Thanks for the honest review and showing how "dirty" the litter box can look like with 3 cats 👍🏻
The cat that owns me would like this.
😂
🤣🤣🤣
Convinced me to purchase this litter box after watching your video. Had a litter robot for 15 yrs, but died. So I’ve used this for 4 days so far it’s goin well. Thanks for your review
hey there- i'm same as you, i've got two litter boxes spanning 15 plus years (they're still kicking but barely XD). what do you think so far?
Thank you, I have 5 cats who are indoor/outdoor cats but when the weather closes in they like to use the litter box, I started looking at auto cleaning simply because of my disability this is the first one that I have seen that uses the phone app but also looks a lot smaller than some of the other ones. I use a clumping litter already and was really pleased that you pointed out that the times for auto cleaning could be changed as it can take up to 5min for the clumping action to work.
Thanks for the review! I backed the project about a month ago and hearing how great it is makes me happy : - )
My advice is to use wet tissue to clean the insides every 3 weeks and deep clean with water and soap every 6 months. This is more effective and less time consuming and also I use the highest cycle time so the litter will have more time to clump and less stick to the sides during the clean cycle.
Great idea I have baby wipes in the bathroom as they work well on the whole family so it stands to reason it should work well on the litter box as well. As you say every 6 months would be fine too as this would cut down on wasting litter when it comes time to cleaning the unit out.
Just use clorox wipes it's quick easy and does the job
I’m tempted to test carnauba wax on the plastic to see if it’ll hose down easier 😅
Hi, i'm a new pura max user for 2 days now. I'm using wood litter & I have to separate the clean from the dirty litter and the poops as the they are all mixed up. I have changed the litter type settings on the apps from mixed to tofu but i do not see much difference. I really need ur suggestion on this
@@annesuhairi2931 It sounds like you put too much litter in. I also use wood clumping litter. Cat's Best. I have filled in significantly below the max line and it works just fine. Also set cleaning time to 15-20 min. after cat visit. :) Check the fb support group. There are lots of great advise.

@@Castleberry5hi which one did you end up getting?
I love Scoop Away clumping litter. But it can be hard to find and it is a very dusty litter.
Too small inside. The cat looks like it barely has room to move and I know there are many cats like Maine Coones that are much bigger.
Where did you buy this model, all the petkit pura max units available dont have the rubber liner they use a waterproof fabric one?
Which s better?
I've also looked for the rubber liner. Where did you get this one?

Love but my 12 pound cat barely fits inside and makes it hard for him to move to scratch litter over potty . So small inside that he sometime have accident outside of box
How to get your cat to use this from regular litter box ? My cat wont use it :((
can this still be used without the app and wifi?
Thanks for your review.
My wife and I wasn’t sure which self cleaning liter box to purchase. Your review made it easier to decide.
👍🏼
What litter did you use ?
What size trash bag does it use?
How is the Pura Max litter box going? Any problems yet?
How was cleaning the old litter out? I would think you would eventually have to clear all liter, no?
Are you still loving the pura max? Wondering if you've experienced any connectivity/app issues now that it's been a few months?
I’ve had it for 3 days and when trying to do a manual clean on the app, it states network error even though the litter box is connected to the app and my network is showing as excellent… anyone experiencing this and found a solution?
Is this good for cats that don’t bury their poops? Asking for a friend.
So this liter box has a fabric floor which cat claws will puncture, had to stick with liter robot since I've had the LR3 for few years and going to get the LR3 just because of that floor and warranty petkit is 1 year and LR is 18 months
Do you know if app is required to use all functions of litter box?
Loved your review, thank you! ♥

Try putting some used litter from her other box in it. Hopefully that will attract her and encourage her to use the Pura Max.
Put old poop/pee clumps ,some old litter they are currently using into the new Max. Left only 1 old regular litter box ,put it next to the Max ,and Remove all others litter boxes. Don’t clean the old regular litter box. When it too dirty, cats no choice and will look to other cleaner litter box aka Pura max. Turned off the automatically cleaning after they left. Check your cats data time,what time they using it. Then Use schedule cleaning mode,set a properly times cleaning when cats are sleeping. Take few days to weeks. Patient.
Very helpful . Thank you and 😻
Still liking it?
Have u tied the clumping litter that Jackson Galaxy recommends?
Testing it right now!!! So far I’m impressed!
Would you have an affiliate code/link? I’m debating about purchasing
I have it linked in my amazon storefront under litter and litter boxes. I’m reviewing the litter robot 4 soon if you want to wait and see how that goes!
@@SvenandRobbiethank you!
Could you please give me the approximate height of the litter layer within the litter container in centimeters?
Any idea if this is suitable for an 8 kg Ragdoll about 55 cm long? Thank you.
I don't have it yet but I looked at a lot of videos and I think it would be too small 😕
@@johannalein37 According to them 8KG and 50 cm length is the limit, so it would seem this might be fine. Risky...
@@roninx1413 Maby build a box with the same size out of cardboard and see if your cat fits in it 😅 I dot think the wight could be a problem, it's more about fitting in comfortably while peeing in the middle 🤷🏼♀️
I feel like most auto boxes are tight. I’m testing out the litter robot right now and it’s like the same. I feel like that’s just industry standards
I dont know.. i think i still prefer the old method of litter box which we did it manually. Felt like a lit cleaner? I guess 😂
Is it good for 6 cats? And one of them is fat
How weight is your cats ?
I have 3 cats. Weight around 7.8lbs to 14lbs. They all eat dry cat food only. I need to EMTY the wasted bin every 3,4 days.
Great review, thank you.
I’m really thinking about getting a automatic litter box because my kitten doesn’t want to cover his poop. We use same litter and litter box he used use when he was with his mum and siblings. We clean twice a day the litter box but he just doesn’t cover his poop. He is digging on the other side of the litter box not near the poop 😅. At the moment is not so big problem because I’m working from home but I might not in future so it wouldn’t be there someone most of the time to clean straightaway the poop. The smell is quite strong when not covered. My kitten is ragdoll so he will grow into a quite big cat. Do you think this automatic litter box would be big enough for large breed like him? That’s my main concern because I saw most of the automatic litter boxes from different brands look quite small. Also, did you have any issues with the cats getting scared of the litter box when seeing it self cleaning?
I feel like all automatic boxes are limited in space. Sven is 14 pounds are is a pretty snug fit. My cats eventually got use to the box cleaning their poop, but in the beginning Louise would go check on it and constantly interrupt the cycle
@@SvenandRobbie That’s great! Hopefully it would work for my kitten too. Good thing is that we can return it in case of the kitten doesn’t like the litter box. Thank you for your reply 🙏
I'm in the same boat. I have an open-air Litter Maid automatic litter box that I use with World's Best Cat Litter. I had to go automatic, because I travel a lot for work, and my little man will not cover his business. He also goes in the exact same spot.
However, he finds a way to step on the power button, or he messes with the rake during a cycle like a Gremlin - I've seen him do it, which errors it out and turns it into a manual box anyway. There have been multiple times I've come home exasperated because of this. It's only because of the quality of the litter that it's not a bigger issue.
I called him little, but he's actually pretty big. I bought the PuraMax today on an Amazon Prime Day sale I couldn't pass up, especially since I've had my eye on it for weeks now. I'm glad for these honest reviews, because it makes me feel better about my choice.
Funny! My female cat, she's mixed with ragdoll and she wouldn't cover her poops or pee when she was a kitten. I had to insist by grabbing her and put her again in the litter box while saying "poop, cover poop". As she started to grow she would sometimes be a smartass and not cover it but I would put her back and then she would cover while complaining lol. Now, she's almost 2 years old and she covers her poops and pee (only in a blue moon she decides to be a diva and not do it lol)
@@verbenanails Thank you so much for the idea 🙏 I will definitely try it. I’ve tried before to show him what to do with his paws but didn’t work out.
Very helpful, thank you :)
I have 3 cats and I have both the Pura Max and Litter Robot 3, hands down Pura Max is better than Litter Robot. I use Fresh Step Clean Paws Multi-Cat Scented Clumping Clay Cat Litter and the highest time setting and don't really have an issue. It still gets dirty but so does my Litter Robot.
Omg I just ordered this. I’m so excited. 💯💗 I love my cats but right now when they pop one on the edges of the litterbox I’m like y tho! Ugh the pain of scraping the edges. I can’t wait to give this a try!!! Thanks for an awesome review 💯🤘🏼
Wonder if the cleaner wipers like Lysol or Clorox wipes would work they are wet like baby wipes but clean good
Planning on getting a Siberian kitten do u think it good for big cats? future proving
I think it is fine for cats up to 15lbs. Any bigger than that may be too cramped. Sven is about 14.5lbs.
Looks like a great product but upon trying to check-out, $500 for shipping to Canada, that's nuts!!!
you could try to use your own shipping company? i live in the middle east and the cost of one puramax around here is around $1000. I went around it and had it ordered from their wesbite to an american address that the delivery company i use has provided. I ended up only having to pay 80$ to get it delivered here which is a significantly cheaper option than if i just ordered it from here
Do you have to buy the disposable bags from petkit or can you use any kind of garbage bags?
I’m sure you can use any bags, you might need to finesse it a bit to make it fit right.
I use the bags from pura max but just dump the litter out of the bag and reuse it if its not too too bad. I've had success up to 3 times without it smelling.
can it give you alerts when your pet has finished using it? I like to know bec i like to wipe my cats' butts afterwards 😅
It does give you allerts when your cats finished using it.
I want one of these so bad!! I’m hoping I can enter to win a competition or something and maybe win on .. haha
Try the PETKIT litter! It's expensive but it's so worth it.
ja tenho a cerca de 1 ano e uma maravilha
Hi I love the pura max everything is so easy never had a leak issue only question or complaint is in the app it doesn’t show the litter level I contacted PETKIT customer service no solution yet if anyone had it before and can help would really appreciate it.
As a owner of two cats, I can smell this video! 😅
Can you use sustainability yours litter?
I did!! Check it out under my Sustainably Yours review. Worked pretty well!
Is it good for munchikins cat
Company is in China and has no US support/contact. Number on website goes to a multi-distribution warehouse in FL. All emails go to china. This explains why there is no physical address listed on the site. Just got all this from a warehouse worker. This explains why I am having so many issues getting a refund (two weeks now)...if you are thinking about buying this, please do not. The mat in the bottom can be cut by a cats claw and urine will leak down into the base...and the issues go on and on...again, find another product and avoid all the problems I am going through.
I’m sticking with the Litter Robot 4, it’s more spacious than this thing seems to be.
I have the pura Max since friday, only the mainecoon uses it… the other is scared to death 😭😭😭😭
Would you use tofu litter? Could you please test it?
That’s definitely on my list to test! Stay tune!
Does it have the option to dump all the litter to the bin? Or do you have to manually scoop out the litter if you want to change the whole batch?
What cat litter should we use with this machine?
A clumping cat litter.
"This litter box" has never been said so many times in an intro, Ever!
Very useful thanks!
Ok night light doesn’t work, 15 days for one cat, no. Possibly a week. It’s small inside.
@2:58 min mark ; That's what she said!
Can pura max completely empty the litter?
I didn’t see an option for that.
This brand is really not worth it. Mine got broken 3 times since I bought and their warranty lasts only for 1 year 🙁 I contacted customer service and they aren't very helpful. I'm switching the company.
What about pretty litter?
That is a very little box and not good for cats over 12lbs.
We have 3 cats. 2 of them are 12lbs and 14lbs.they go in there fine. They can move around in there , they even learn how to poop/pee correct way..that pop the heads outside at the entrance.
Litter robot 4 is the best out of all these litter robots.
Do not buy this thing...it is impossible to get a refund. I have been trying for over a week now and all I get is a run-around.
Seems way quieter than the litter robot
I honestly don’t notice it starting up until the litter shifts!
