LOVE the litter robot
We got 2 kittens 8 months ago, and I have never had more than 1 cat in my life. I did not realize the amount of litter clean up would be necessary for 2 cats, and the Litter Robot 5 has saved me hours every week! It works great! My cats love to stop ... Show More

Love this product
I love the litter robot 5. It works extremely well and saves me lots of time. The only thing I would change is the placement of the buttons on the top. But that's mostly because I have a curious cat who loves to stand on top of the litter robot and h ... Show More

An example of a good product, ruined by one bad design decision.
Previously I had a LR4 that was always finicky. Sometimes it would decide it didn't want to rotate anymore, and I'd have to bump it to get it going. Or the hopper would just decide to stop working.
The LR5 fixed all this flakiness. But it has a ledg ... Show More

Fantastic LR5
I have a LR3. Could not believe how quiet the LR5 is and how smoothly it operates. Really like the new product. Many new improvements with carbon filters, waste drawer, litter shield. Fantastic!!!

Amazing
From unboxing to initial set up to ensuring my Wi-Fi was on the 2.4 GHz. This thing has entirely taken over my kitty litter duties. I love it.

Litter Robot 5
I have copd and it's very hard to bend over and scoop litter. I love it and our cat used it the very first. There is O odor. I am very happy with my purchase

So far, so good
Thrilled at the leisure of never scooping again. It’s been excellent so far, cat approves and adapted quickly. I think he loves having fresh litter for ever potty break.

Worth it!
I upgraded from a cheaper automatic litter box. The cat adapted to it immediately. Any functional automatic box is a huge upgrade from scooping, but this has elevated the experience so so much. I have not had to empty the tray yet in 3 weeks (sing ... Show More

Frequently asked questions
Cat behavior
*How can I get my cat to use Litter-Robot?
Over 95% of cats acclimate to Litter-Robot*, and most begin using it within a few days to a week. (*Based on stated reasons for customer returns of Litter-Robot 4 and 3 over a one-year period). It's natural for some cats to be initially uncertain or wary of new objects in their territory. Litter-Robot 5 is designed to be as cat-friendly as possible, featuring QuietSift® technology that minimizes noise during the cleaning cycle. The cleaning cycle won’t begin until minutes after your cat has exited the automatic litter box, and you can extend the delay up to 30 minutes for skittish cats.
To ease the transition, place Litter-Robot where the old litter box was and, for a short time, keep both nearby. Mixing a cup of used litter into the clean litter in the Litter-Robot helps provide a familiar scent. You can also leave Litter-Robot turned off until your cat has tried it. With these steps—and a little patience—most cats adapt quickly, especially if they’re already used to a covered litter box. Learn more about acclimating your cat.
Can large cats use Litter-Robot 5?
Can kittens use Litter-Robot 5?
Yes. Kittens that weigh at least 3 lbs can safely use Litter-Robot 5 in automatic mode. The unit uses multiple lasers and weight sensor technology to detect when your cat enters and exits the globe, which then triggers the countdown timer and cleaning cycle.
For kittens under 3 lbs, we recommend using your Litter-Robot 5 in "semi-automatic" mode to keep your kitten safe and relieve you from litter box scooping. For "semi-automatic" mode, leave Litter-Robot powered off or unplugged. When you see your kitten has used it, wait about 7 minutes for the waste to clump, then power it on. Litter-Robot will automatically perform a clean cycle. Afterward, power it off again. Continue this supervised, semi-automatic mode until your kittens have reached 3 lbs to activate the SmartScale®.
