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.

    What dollars is that?

    Mine was £350 which is under $500 US, just looked at the site and the brand new model is $699.

      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.

        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.
