It’s nice to be able to check the app to see if the waste bin is full, but beyond that, it doesn’t offer all that much extra functionality. If anything, I could probably live without the smart features. For the most part, it smells significantly less than a regular litter box, and its operation is quiet enough that it doesn’t ever disturb you. I don’t have to deal with stinky bags of cat waste in my garbage can or feel guilty when I forget to clean the box for two days. I wanted to say no, because $500 is really excessive for a litter box, but wow, I love the Litter Robot.

Nugget and I both approve of the Litter Robot's performance-but not necessarily its price tag. This gives your cat plenty of time to do their business, so they’re not accidentally spun around in the machine. How does it know when to rotate? It has a sensor that indicates when your cat is inside the globe, and it then waits seven minutes before rotating. It also has a carbon filter in the waste drawer to reduce odor. The globe then rotates back and the clean litter is replaced. The clean litter falls through a sieve into a compartment, then any clumps and solid waste fall into the base of the machine. Instead of trying to scoop clumps of used litter out of the litter pan like other machines, the Litter Robot rotates its globe after use. It’s made up of a rotating globe on top of a base that serves as a waste drawer. The Litter Robot looks quite different than other automatic litter boxes, and that’s part of the appeal.

We affectionately call the Litter Robot our "Poop Spaceship."
