We've used this product for several months now and I've got to say that I wish I didn't waste my time and money on cheaper (other brand) versions. Our cats stopped using the still available litter box in their sunroom.

Thank you so much for your review, Mike! We're so excited to hear everyone loves the Litter-Robot 5! We're so happy to have you all in the Whisker family!
We have three wonderful, active cats all under age 2. One is skittish, the other two are not. We had no problem whatsoever getting all three fur babies to use the Litter Robot 5. We left the regular litter box out for about a week just in case. Even our skittish girl was super curious and willing to use the robot from day 1. I didn't leave it unplugged. I just set it up to run as it should and they had no qualms using it. In fact, I woke up one night around midnight right after we had set up the robot to find all three of them sitting on the rug in front of the robot watching it cycle. It was so cute and funny. This product has saved me so much time, I wish I had invested in it sooner. We bought the bundle that includes the three year warranty just in case. I have found that I need to keep the control panel locked because my sweet orange boy managed to hit the button on the panel that caused it to empty. I am looking forward to adding the hopper and steps as well. I do like the Whisker litter bet

Game Changer for Multi-Cat Households — Especially Big Cats!

After suffering through a cheaper self-cleaning litter box that was way too small for our Maine Coon (think litter EVERYWHERE — walls, floor, you name it), we finally took the plunge and bought the Litter-Robot 5. Best. Decision. Ever.
Setup was shockingly simple — we had it up and running in minutes, no head-scratching required. Both cats took to it almost immediately, which honestly surprised us. Our Maine Coon, who is an absolute unit of a cat, fits comfortably with plenty of room to do his business without sending litter flying across the room.
But the real showstopper? The smell. Or rather, the complete and total LACK of it. We have two cats and I genuinely cannot tell we have a litter box in the house. Guests have no idea. We have no idea. It is that good.
Yes, it's an investment — but after cleaning up litter off every surface in our bathroom for months with the cheaper option, the Litter-Robot 5 has paid for itself in sanity alone. If you have large cats, multiple cats, or just refuse to live

Thank you so much for your review, Paul! It's fantastic to hear that the Litter-Robot 5 has been such a great improvement for you and your kitties, we love to help make life easier! We hope you continue to love your Litter-Robot for many years to come!
Had a ittle hiccup getting set up and needed to get the litter attract to get all 3 cats on board but what a dream now! Love the ease, the minimal clean up. The foster kittens love watching it empty! Best investment!

Thanks so much for your review, Sandwich! We're so glad to hear all 3 of your kitties have started using the Litter-Robot, and you're loving life without scooping! Thank you for being part of the Whisker family!
The litter robot is life changing in many ways, especially now that i have 4 cats. I definitely wish the litter disposal receptacle was deeper and that the refuse didn't pile so much in one spot. I hate having to use plastic bags and wish they could be filled more.

Thanks so much for your review! Our team is so glad to hear the Litter-Robot is life-changing for you! We greatly appreciate your feedback on the waste drawer's size, as we're always looking to improve. Thank you for choosing Whisker!
Our Litter-Robot 4 was unreliable. It would state it was full when it was only 20% full; at other times, it would not report being full, and the waste tray would get overfilled. The cats dragged litter out of the Robot 4. The Robot 5 design solved both those issues. We feel confident leaving the house for a week without putting out additional cat litter trays.
