We invest in engineering and American assembly operations to ensure that we deliver the best to pet parents worldwide! With tens of thousands of reviews rating our self-cleaning litter box five stars, cats and cat parents alike love the product. Cat parents love that the Litter-Robot helps reduce litter box odors throughout their home, that they're buying less litter thanks to the efficient clean cycle, and that they finally have freedom from scooping the litter box. 

Core features of Litter-Robot models have always included a patented sifting system, odor management, multi-cat design, cat safety features, and easy-to-clean modular components.  The new Litter-Robot 4 advances these core features with the latest technology, including the optional OdorTrap® System to neutralize litter box odors and the SafeCat System with OmniSense® Detection for enhanced safety and real-time tracking of waste and litter levels. Litter-Robot 4 also features a QuietSift® cleaning cycle, an enlarged waste drawer, and a wider opening to maximize cat comfort.

We estimate that over 96% of cat households acclimate to Litter-Robot and most cats use Litter-Robot within several days to a week of setting it up. It's natural for some cats to be initially uncertain or wary of new objects in their territory. Litter-Robot is designed to be as cat-friendly as possible, featuring QuietSift® technology that minimizes noise during the cleaning cycle. The cleaning cycle will only begin minutes after your cat has exited the automatic litter box. You can also set the cleaning cycle delay to as long as 30 minutes, which may better suit skittish cats. With a little patience and encouragement, most cats will quickly adapt to Litter-Robot.

Those already familiar with a covered litter box may be quicker to investigate Litter-Robot. The trick is to ease your cat into transitioning to Litter-Robot. You can avoid startling your kitty by leaving Litter-Robot switched off until you notice your cat has used it. We recommend that you place Litter-Robot in the same location as the old litter box. You can leave the old litter box near Litter-Robot for a short time. Take a cup of litter from the old litter box and add it to the clean litter in Litter-Robot. The scent will be familiar, and your cat should be inclined to check it out.

The Litter-Robot senses when your cat enters and exits the globe, which triggers the countdown timer and cleaning cycle. Kittens and small cats that weigh less than 2.3 kg may not be heavy enough to trigger the cat sensor. Therefore, kittens and small cats that weigh less than 2.3 kg can use the Litter-Robot, but not in automatic mode. Until they weigh enough, we recommend using your Litter-Robot in "semi-automatic" mode to keep your cat safe and relieve you from litter box scooping. For "semi-automatic" mode, leave the Litter-Robot switched off or unplugged. When you see your cat has used it, wait about 7 minutes for the waste to clump, then turn it on/plug it in. The Litter-Robot will automatically perform a clean cycle (which takes about 2 ½ minutes). Afterward, turn it off/unplug it again. Continue this supervised, semi-automatic mode until your kittens have gained sufficient weight to activate the cat sensor.

Yes, cats of all sizes can use Litter-Robot 3 thanks to its larger globe size and lack of weight limit. With entryway dimensions of 16"H x 10.25"W and interior globe dimensions of 15"-17"H (depending on litter level) x 20"W x 20"D, almost any domestic cat can fit comfortably inside the globe. However, your cat must weigh at least 5 pounds to trigger the cat sensor.

The Litter-Robot does not require special litter or proprietary consumables like several other self-cleaning litter boxes on the market. In fact, the Litter-Robot works well with almost any clumping or scoopable litter. Litter beads and crystals that are small enough to pass through the screen will also work in the Litter-Robot. Alternative, plant-based litters may also work, but these tend to form looser clumps that can cause condensation in the waste drawer. The Litter-Robot is not compatible with litters that are strictly absorbent, non-clumping, loose-clumping, newspaper-based, or wood-based pellets.

Yes, you can use any bag that fits in the waste drawer. However, please note that waste level readings may be inaccurate when using a dark bag, especially when the drawer is empty. As clumps start to collect in the drawer, the readings will become more accurate. For the most precise waste drawer readings and a seamless experience, we highly recommend using Litter-Robot Waste Liners.
