Litter Robot
Litter Robot LRII Automatic Self-Cleaning Litter Box
This thing looks like it belongs more on the Jetsons, less in your bathroom but is the absolute top of the line best when it comes to never having to scoop your litterbox again. Yes this contraption costs three hundred bucks but cmon can you really put a price on not having to deal with cat poop?
Pros:
- Empties litter into drawer with the push of a button
- Can be put on a timer so that it works at night while you sleep
- Uses much less litter than a normal box which helps to offset the high cost
Cons:
- Perforated holes allow stinky smells to escape
- Machine is large

The construction of the LR (LitterRobot) is very nice. The motor that is used is pretty durable, and if it does go and you are handy at all it wouldnt be hard to replace.
We’ve had our Litter Robot for over six months now and it still works like the day it arrived. Beau and Sunny (males) both appreciate it’s cleanliness and right-on-schedule cycle 7 minutes after they go.
I have had mine for 2 years and 4 months. I have 4 cats, 2 of which are quite large, about 18 pounds. After about a year, the control unit failed and it was fixed under warranty. It took about 2 weeks for it to be returned and I tell you, we really missed it! There have been no problems since.
It is double or triple the price of competitors and worth every penny.
When you can leave it for 2 weeks without touching it, and it is always clean.. it is worth it.
My impression of the bot seems like it’s well made, and definitely works as advertised. Even though it’s only been a week, I have never even caught so much as a whiff of any cat urine or feces (the unit is currently in the living room but will be moved onto the screen porch when the cat door arrives). I refuse to have that “cat” smell in the house, and so far so good. The cat is nice enough to dig a hole, do her business and then cover it up–so I consider myself lucky.
