I have heard nothing better than mediocre reviews of any of the robotic litter boxes. May I ask which you have, and what you like/don't like about it?

[–] Bocky@lemmy.world 7 points 7 months ago

I got the new Litter Robot 4. I was worried about the price, but after 5 months with 2 cats, I love it. It scoops the litter 15 minutes after they go and keeps the smells contained really well. We change the tray about every 5 days and it takes a regular kitchen trash bag. So it’s just as easy and taking out the trash. No regrets, money well spent

I got a Litter Robot 3 a couple years ago and its the best money I've spent in a long while. Super convenient and I haven't had any issues with it even with 2 cats.

We have the litter robot. It was pretty expensive, and can be a little quirky at times, but for the most part it’s been a real time saver.

The biggest problem is that it can get stuck while doing it’s rotation, which then requires you to intervene. It really doesn’t happen often, though. It’s had errors similar to that around 5 times or so in the past couple years. Not too bad.

We change out the turd bag around once per week. 2 cats have access 24/7, and another cat has access 12-15 hours per day.
