Best Automatic Cat Litter Boxes 

The Litter Robot from the whiskers store is the most well known automatic self cleaning litter robot on the market and was the first to put out such a design. They’re onto Litter Robot 4, with better updates and changes taken from past models that make it the top tier choice for the best litter robot available on the market. 

This beginner bundle comes with the litter robot itself, of course, along with other helpful add-ons such as a litter trapping mat, two OdorTrap pack refills, and 25 waste drawer liners. The patented sifting process automatically separates waste and clean litter, while all you have to do is empty the waste drawer when it’s full. Reducing odors and tracking from litter, the automatic clean cycle and OdorTrap packs significantly reduce odors compared to standard litter boxes and areas. The included litter mat fence will help reduce tracking of litter even further by catching falling litter from your cats paws as they jump out of the box. 

An additional and very helpful feature that the Litter Robot 4 comes with is the monitoring and controlling via the Whisker smartphone app. You can monitor waste and litter levels in real time, get health insights, and track your cats weight after each use and monitor over time to keep an eye on your pets. It’s suitable for up to 4 cats, and each cat must weight at least 3lbs (1.4kg) to safely use the litter robot in automatic mode. The litter robot should also never be touching any walls, as it needs space to safely spin and clean itself. 

All Litter Robots have an automatic 1-year consumer warranty and there is an extended plan available as well if wanted, to ensure that everything continues running smoothly. 

For any cats that prefer enclosed litter boxes with doors, this self-cleaning litter box may be just what you need in your home. A 3.6L capacity of waste before it needs to be taken out means less time worrying about litter accumulating quickly. The space itself is 75L around, and works for cats that are 3.3lbs at minimum upwards to 22lbs at the most. 

The cat litter capacity should not exceed the line in the box to avoid any accidents or the box not being able to automatically clean itself correctly. The UBPet self-cleaning box has an automatic opening and closing door flap that helps contain bacteria and odors, and ensures no accidents can occur as the sensors make sure there is no cat inside before rotating and cleaning as it works. Deodorizing blocks are available to purchase separately as well to double up on decreasing any odors you don’t want around in your home. 

This litter robot is library quiet, as stated by the company itself, operating below 42 dB when it’s cleaning, so no worries about it waking anyone up or being loud in apartment or condo type buildings. The included app for smartphones allows for controlling the litter box at anytime over Wi-Fi, and has real-time monitoring for weight, toilet time, and more so that you can monitor your cats time spent in the litter box and keep an eye on any changes. Anomaly alerts also aid in any timely detection of potential issues.   

It has 9 precision sensors and an anti-pinch motor – when a cat enters the litter box, the sensors will detect its presence and will only clean once there is nothing in the box. Cats that are under 3lbs and/or are kittens need to be careful as that is the minimum weight allowed to ensure that the box and sensors work correctly. 

The RUN.SE is another self-cleaning litter box that eliminates the need for cat litter scooping and other cleaning. It’s eco-friendly, cost effective, and eliminates any need for manual scooping and cleaning. It reduces the amount of litter needed and with the frequency of litter changes, it saves you money and benefits the environment, all while keeping your furry feline friends healthier and happier – yourself included, with the litter changes and consistent cleanliness. 

It has a quiet running volume and isn’t distracting, like some other automatic self-cleaning litter boxes can be. When self-cleaning, it’s quiet and the design itself is sleek and easy to blend into your home without it being messy or odor off-putting like normal litter box pans. It prioritizes your cats safety and the sensors plus safeties will ensure that your cats are safe and sound while it functions, as it detects your cat inside and will only work to clean once there is nothing inside the cat litter box. 

It’s an easy setup and maintenance process, as the removeable components make cleaning a cinch, so you can easily and effortlessly provide your cat with a clean litter box at all times, being hands off for yourself all the time. 

If you have multiple cats, larger cats, or ones that just prefer and are more comfortable with open top style litter boxes, this self-cleaning litter box by Furoomate may be the one you’re looking for. 

The open top self-cleaning litter box is designed with cats comfort in mind, as the spacious top allows your cat to move more freely without feeling too confined like they might with other styles of cleaning litter boxes. It has a bigger usable area than other drum-shaped litter boxes, paired with a large capacity trash bin, it easily accommodates multiple cats and larger sized ones. It can effortlessly manage 3 cats over 5-7 days before the litter waste needs to be changed/taken. 

The way it’s designed, the entire box can be cleaned easily as there are no spots that can’t be cleaned and wiped down as needed or if there are any accidents, as it’s made from silicone. 4 weight sensors, 2 infrared sensors, and a protection sensor ensure that whenever a cat approaches or steps onto the cat litter box, it stops operating to ensure the cats safety so that it never runs when it doesn’t run whenever a cat is nearby, which also helps cats get acclimated to the sound and it shouldn’t scare them when they use it. 

A different and stylish metallic grey open top design makes this litter box a statement piece on top of being a good and better hygienic experience. It’s self-cleaning and the large sides make it good for larger cats especially so they don’t get uncomfortable or fall. It provides a safety protection environment. 

The M1 litter box has a spacious 17” opening that ensures that all cats can fit into this box safely, even for skittish smaller cats that are around 2.2lbs, easily allowing for them to be monitored and stable. The pull and wrap solution has a seamless odor-free experience, just a quick pull securely wraps the trash bag, leaving no traces or unpleasant smells. 10-14 days of scoop-free freedom.  

Another open air self-cleaning litter box design, this one more similar to regular cat litter boxes. The only caveat is that it uses crystal litter and cannot accommodate clay or clumping litter. 

Low tracking crystal litter is 99% dust-free and generally helps with sticking to cats paws. Disposable trays have plastic liners that help against leaking and keep your floors clean, as you can simply remove the tray and throw it away – and they each include a lid for quick disposal. Health counter keeps track of how often your cat uses the litter box. This litter box tends to be best for a one cat household or two smaller cats, as the waste disposal can end up being a lot if you have a multi-cat house that has them going often and considering that you have to throw away the trays themselves, it can pile up. 

Some cats like crystal cat litter and some can’t stand it, so this also works great for the ones that are already acclimated to it and like using it on a daily basis, as this just makes cleaning easier for you and it makes it less stressful for them as well when switching to this litter box.
