Does anyone have any experience with self-cleaning cat litter boxes? I’m curious if any particular model of self-cleaning litter box is any good. We now have 4 cats and it would be nice to not have to clean litter boxes manually 1-2 times every day.
Do they separate pee/poop from litter well? Are cats afraid to use them? Do they stink more than regular litter boxes because pee/poop are in them for longer periods? Are they a hassle to clean? Do you have to buy propietary supplies (custom litter? special trays?)?
Thanks for your input.
Ah, that’s $999 Canadian. Right now our exchange against the US$ is brutal.
Ah, yup, the new one is indeed that much. Second hand are widely available but tbf, it’s worth the cost to me. Around the same price as a new washing machine and I’d probably choose the litter robot first if I had to choose.

It does, but you don’t have to buy their litter, as long as the one you get does the same thing.

It’s special as in you have to use clumping litter. Dr. Elsey’s works the best in my experience.
No, not at all, not sure what EssentialCoffee means. It’s just any clumbing litter with a small grain to go through the sifter. I prefer clay.
There are still some places with some leftover LitterRobot 3s in stock at lower prices ( here ), but they’ve always been expensive. We have a 2, and it cost $700 CAD at the time.
