This is our top pick, full stop. We’ve tested the Litter-Robot 4 in five homes, with old and young cats, and found that felines took to it with minimal suspicion. It’s also great if you have multiple cats.
With previous models, kittens under 5 pounds didn’t always trigger the sensor, but that’s been fixed with the latest model. It has excellent odor control and is meant for households with multiple cats. Fill it with clumping litter for best results. (The brand recommends unscented clay litter such as Fresh Step Advanced Unscented.)
“First off, it’s huge — but after using it for a few months, I could never go back to any other litter box,” said a tester. (For the record, it’s about 30 inches tall.) “It fits in with my decor pretty well. It’s definitely not discreet, but I don’t mind given all the hours it’s saved me from scooping. I have two cats, both 12, and they had no problem transitioning to it. Once I set it up, they didn’t want to use their old one.”
Here’s how it cleans: Your cat triggers the sensor by jumping in and then triggers it again by jumping out; the machine waits 7 minutes and then quietly rotates. The wet or poopy clumps separate and fall into a lined bin at the bottom. Then the globe moves back into place, covering the bin and its odors, clean and ready for the next customer.
“I was initially put off because it’s expensive, but it’s a fantastic machine that works brilliantly,” said Lynn Redmile, a contributing product analyst for the Good Housekeeping Institute. The app helps you track when you need to empty the bin. “It also records the weight of each cat that uses it, so you can tell which cat is going most often in a multi-cat environment,” Redmile said.
Based on feedback from Redmile and our consumer testers, I expected my two cats to transition to the Litter-Robot 4 quickly. They did not. In fact, they ignored it. I then moved their regular litter box outside to “force” them to use it while I went away for a weekend, and they staged a boycott. I decided to reach out to Whisker customer service, and as I was emailing, my younger cat, Azula, got in and used it, probably to make me look like a liar.
I’ll cut to the chase: After two weeks, they are now both using the Litter-Robot 4, but it’s been a journey. Azula saw it cleaning one day and freaked out. She also pees with her rear end almost out the door, so I have to use the included fence piece on the front to keep her pee inside. Whisker customer service and Reddit have both been super useful in addressing my Litter-Robot hurdles. And I’m thrilled to leave the scoop behind.
Other Litter-Robot bells and whistles include a night light (my cats hate it, so I keep it off), sleep mode and a customizable cycle timer (you can opt to have the box clean itself twice a day, say, instead of after every use). Although the Litter-Robot 4 can be used without the app, if you’d prefer no app connectivity at all, we also recommend the Litter-Robot 3. Since it doesn’t track use and is only for cats who weigh 5 pounds or more, it’s $200 less. Either way, if you want to make dumping the bin a fast and easy process, consider the brand’s waste drawer liners.
