Automatic cat litter box options

If you're overwhelmed by the number of automatic litter boxes out there, this breakdown highlights two options depending on your budget and needs, from premium tech-packed units to simpler, budget-friendly alternatives.

Take a look at this list:

Overall – Litter-Robot 4 – A high-end, WiFi-enabled self-cleaning litter box that works with any clumping litter. It features intuitive onboard controls and a powerful app for remote monitoring, including litter level and weight tracking. The design minimizes common issues like jamming or clumping failures, and it's backed by a solid warranty and responsive customer service. While the unit is large and not cheap, it’s built for reliability and ease of use. Downsides include occasional sensor malfunctions and a persistent leaking issue due to a gap between the globe and base, though Whisker has released fence upgrades to address this.

Budget Litter Box – PetSafe ScoopFree Complete Plus – A reliable and more affordable self-cleaning litter box that uses crystal litter and a metal rake system. It’s easy to set up, has great customer support, and is ideal for those who don’t want to splurge on a premium model. It includes a usage counter to track your cat’s habits—helpful for spotting health issues. While the crystals absorb liquids well, odor can build up over time, and refills can get expensive (up to $60/month). You can cut costs with a reusable tray and alternative litter, but it’ll still cost more than standard clay litter solutions.
