| The Verdict: Although every automatic litter box has its own flaws, the Litter Robot seems to be the most reliable and the one that gives owners the least headache. With four and a half out of five stars on Amazon from nearly 300 consumers, the Litter Robot has the highest rating of all automatic litter boxes. Check out the Litter Robot Here How it Works: 7 minutes after your cat leaves the Litter Robot, the globe slowly rotates to allow clumps to fall into the plastic bag in the drawer below. The globe then rotates back into original position. Simply throw away the full plastic bag and replace it with a new one every few days. Pros: -Low operation costs. If you think the Litter Robot is expensive, consider this: no replacement cartridges or refills are required, which means that after the initial cost, there will be no maintenance costs other than the electricity costs. For certain other automatic litter boxes, the cost of refills for the first year alone is enough to buy a Litter Robot! -Minimum maintenance. Just replace the plastic bag when it becomes full. Tip: Do NOT wait until the bag is overflowing before replacing it. An overflowing unit will result in smeared poop on the outside of the globe when it rotates. -Highly effective odor control. Many consumers have reported huge reductions in odor after using the Litter Robot. I can personally vouch for this as well. -Consistent performance. The Litter Robot performs consistently well for the vast majority of people that have used it, and has earned a 4.5 our of 5 stars on Amazon, making it the highest-rated automatic litter box on Amazon! Check out the Litter Robot Here Cons: -The initial purchase price may be a little steep, but as was commented above, you’ll save hundreds of dollars every year in maintenance cost as compared to some of the other automatic litter boxes. -There isn’t a lot of space inside the globe, so don’t buy the Litter Robot if you have a big cat. -Some cat owners have complained about their cats not taking well to the Litter Robot and are scared to do their business in it (although many more owners don’t have this problem – including myself with my 3 cats). -Some cats do not know to turn around and face the outside when peeing / pooing, resulting in pee/poop on the step and/or the base. -It’s bigger and taller than other litter boxes and therefore takes up more space. Comments: Although all automatic litter boxes each has their own flaws, the Litter Robot seems to be the most reliable and the one that gives owners the least headache. With four and a half out of five stars on Amazon from nearly 300 consumers, the Litter Robot has the highest rating of all automatic litter boxes. This is the one I like the most from my personal experience and I currently have two of them, and I’m just waiting for my other two automatic boxes to die before replacing them with Litter Robots also.
