Litter Robot 5

This is replacing a Litter Robot I previously had. I had nothing but problems trying to program. The Litter Robot 5, is awesome it is self programming and has worked flawlessly, so far. Both my cats used it immediately, in fact wanted to check it out before I had finished putting it together. I have a male 4 year old Maine Coon, who used the old Litter Robot, and a 7 month Highlander Lynx. So good for all sizes.

I can’t believe I waited so long to get the litter robot! You’re telling me that it could have been this easy this whole time?! Worth every single penny. Stop at this review 9 buy one. . . Even convinced my mother to buy one.

Both my husband and myself enjoy our LitterRobot 5! It has allowed us to keep an eye on our aging boy and monitor the weight of the fluffy girl! We also have a set of digging cats, so the shield has helped us retain a decent amount of litter!

Started off with a LR3 then went to a LR4 and now the Litter Robot 5! The quality and improvements are always great! Very happy with the purchase.

Hey there, Mr. Meow! Thanks so much for your 5-star review. We're so happy to hear you upgraded to the Litter-Robot 5, and love it! Thanks for being a long time member of the Whisker family!
Very simple to set up, only issue I have, is that 2 of my cats weigh within 2 oz of each other and the Litter Robot can't tell them apart.

Hi there, Dawn! Thank you so much for your review, we're so glad to hear the Litter-Robot was quick and easy to set up! The Litter Robot 5 can differentiate between kitties that are at least 1lb apart in weight. Please don't hesitate to send us a DM with any questions, our team is happy to help!
Litter Robot is awesome! I swear it has made both me and my Girls happier. Only issue is I have 4 girls and only 2 register. I think it bundles them together as to weight and visit history. I will figure that out later for now this was a good buy!

Not really worth the price tag if you are just looking to upgrade

I had the LR 3 for a few years. I decided to upgrade because I saw a LR 4 at a friend’s house. My LR3 had some issues and was trying to die. I decided to try to LR5.
The 5 is quieter. It comes pre assembled. It was extremely easy and quick to set up.
I’ve had issues with using any other litter than the one on this site. If I do not use this litter, it does not cycle. The app also does not assign my pet with the LR5. It’s not that important due to only having 1 cat, but if I had multiple cats, it would bother me. I just ordered filters and something for the smell. While you do not have to empty it as often, it does get a strong odor of waste if you let it go the full time. It has had a few globe issues. I’m not sure why, but it’s been about 3 times that it gets stuck.
Honestly, it’s okay but the LR 3 seemed to be much better with performance, despite it being a bit louder.

I have 4 cats and all but one quickly got used to using the litter robot. It’s been amazing for me! As a disabled person who also is very sensitive to ammonia, I can honestly say LR has changed my life! It’s so convenient. I always needed help with traditional litter boxes but I am able to clean this one completely on my own. Having the clean cycle is amazing. I don’t have to worry about getting sick from the ammonia smells anymore (3/4 of my cats are male). It’s very easy to use and I currently have two but plan on getting another soon! Definitely worth the money! It’s also big enough to fit my two large cats (18 lbs and 25 lbs). I was worried it’d be too small at first but they use it just fine. I did have to buy a platform for them to put their paws on, but it was worth it.
