10 Best Litter Box Multiple Cats (2023 Updated)

I’ve been using this for 8 months now, and it’s fantastic! The cats are very happy to use it. It took them all of one day to get used to it, and they found the rake fascinating. I don’t know why they say not to use automatic mode until kittens are six months old – my 3-month-olds took to it immediately, and still love it! No accidents! The only odor is right after one of them has pooped, and even that’s not too bad because of the hood.

Once it’s raked, no more odor – and believe me, I’d notice – the box is in the bathroom attached to my bedroom! (In fact, the way I tell if the tray needs changing is when there’s still odor after raking.

I give it a manual rake and if the odor’s still there, it’s time for a new tray. ) I do prefer the Lavender litter – it has much less of a perfumed smell than the Original Blue litter (I’m very sensitive to smells) and it seems to control the odors just as well.

I have two cats, and the trays last a full two weeks. They are very sturdy and don’t leak. I hate scooping, mainly because I have to bend over, and the odor is strong. The only difficulty with this system is that the tray is somwehat heavy to pick up, cover, and dispose of.

However, that’s still better than emptying an entire cat box into a trash bag and carrying the bag to the trash can once a week – and the trays last longer. It definitely beats trying to lift a 25-lb jug (or even a 15-lb box) of cat litter to fill a newly-cleaned box, and I don’t have to clean a box! I’m completely sold on this box, and definitely recommend it!.

We’ve had our system a little over a year and a half and love it. The only issue we ever had was when our internet went down and Xfinity updated our modem to the latest version. It took several tries and several calls to Xfinity customer service to resolve the issue of the box and modem failing to work together.

It was finally resolved, but during that time we had to physically inspect the box display to know when it was full instead of being able to use the app. One thing we did find out – the Scoop free folks will email you to let you know if your litter box has lost contact.

The box will still work, but you definitely need internet service to access the system with your phone app. My favorite feature is their help system – once the display stopped showing the number of uses so I used the app to get service.

They resolved the issue quickly and by the end of the day the display was once again working correctly. Also, even though the display had stopped temporarily we were still able to track usage through the app.

While we were recently on vacation I was able to use the app to let my pet sitter know when it was time to change the box out. We’ve definitely been spoiled by this system, especially since we can easily track usage and determine when it’s time to change the litter tray.

Not having to scoop 2-3 times each day has been a game changer. We’ll never go back to regular boxes again.

Over the past 5 years I have purchased 3 of these, and purchased a replacement one recently. We only have two cats now, so I use two. The concept is great, however the execution leaves something to be desired.

Our cats use them, and the box does what it say says 15-20 minutes after. -Does 1 tray last a month? No. -Should you own 1 box per cat? Definitely, Yes. -Are the refill trays overpriced? Y E S. The GOOD: The machine makes for an easier job by not having to scoop a mess after each time a cat goes.

The litter itself, lasts longer than traditional clay litters, and reduces residual smells. The BAD: You still have to deep clean the walls (inside and out) when you change trays. The #2 occasionally gets stuck in the rakes after cleaning.

The rake has a tendency to waste some less-used litter, by trapping it in the rest position. The replacement trays are overpriced and under-deliver. The UGLY: The trays are NOT Leak-Proof. By the end of week 3, they are COMPLETELY SATURATED, and fall apart when trying to remove and cover.

We ALWAYS have puddles of cat urine under the trays, and we USE THE LID to reinforce the tray to help absorb! We have had to get creative, but with little luck. One thing we’ve recently taken to doing, is to put an added layer (Usually a Plastic Trash Bag), between the tray and the cover when setting up.

So when we take the the lid out from under the tray, we can still put it on top of soiled tray to throw away. In a perfect world, this would work. However, we all know cats over-shoot, especially males, and because the sides are low profile, the pee often goes on the floor from that.

They make a cover, which we did, at one time use. BUT- It would make the overall interior size too small for larger cats, and cause the pee to get on their fur, when they turn around and bury, thus making for a nasty cleanup of our cats.

I think if Petsafe were to make a larger cover that extend OVER the walls, but has a lower portion tapered to fit the box, that would be the ideal situation. And Hence, if you’re still reading this review, the 3 Star review.

First let me say there is nothing better than the Litter Robots – I say again nothing! I have owned Litter Robots for about 10 years now and I will not own anything else. I very much of course like the litter elimination design concept, network connectivity (initially I thought that was a gimmick but found it to be useful), the battery backup, the step ramp (which catches most urine sprayed out the opening), and the features designed into it that corrected several issues with the Litter Robot 2.

However, there are some very annoying issues that I hope are designed out of future Litter Robots. I have both the Litter Robot 2 and Litter Robot 3. #2 was great in its simplicity and reliability but had a few design problems.

First, the electronics are underneath the opening so urine from cats that turn the wrong way could spray on them causing shorts. Second the opening was small and vertical – the vertical opening was a problem with cats that excessively dug flung lots of litter out the opening (the dam didn’t help much but discouraged some cats from entering the small opening).

Third, the drawer would open slightly when the cat stepped on it and urine sprayed out the opening could drip down and soak the filter and miss the drawer liner. Things could be done to lesson these issues but enter LR #3 which corrected all these with a re-design.

If Litter Robot #3 would have kept the simplicity and reliability of #2 it would be near perfect. However, LR #3 has many sensors to provide data to the much more complex software programming of #3. These sensors and the logic built into the software have made it much less reliable than LR #2.

The people who designed the logic of the software forgot that the most important function of the Litter Robot is to RUN and not SHUTDOWN over very trivial issues. Who wants their litter box to be unusable by their cats when you need to be away for a day or more? Some of the trivial issues are the bonnet is removed, overweight (too much litter added, even just a few ounces), and the error “Cat Sensor Fault”.

It is much more important that the unit RUN and not shut down, I repeat, RUN and not shut down! These are the trivial shutdown conditions I have encountered with LR#3 but there could others. About the only important shutdown issue I can think of is that it should never run when there is a cat in the unit, that’s it! There have been many complaints about these issues on the website along with corrections to try, but I say simplify the logic and eliminate these shutdown conditions entirely.

LR#2 doesn’t have them, and it is super reliable. If the corrections on the website don’t work, I will either bypass the unreliable sensors (e. g. , “Bonnet Removed”), or will look to Litter Robot to correct them under warranty.

The litter-robot 3 connect is easy to use and very convenient – but still shows minor inconveniences, some a little complicated and some which are simple enough for you to wonder why they are there still.

The most important part is – despite multiple mentions that this will not work with tiny cats, there are no mentions that this will probably not be great for big cats either. I have a regular-sized cat that’s on the heavier side and seeing her use it for the past months it became clear that it’s.

very crummy for her – there’s little room to turn around or for her to do the instinctive covering of her deeds. The drawer capacity is generous and can hold the full-litter capacity of the device plus a considerable amount – however you’ll only make use of this when completely replacing all the litter unless you somehow obtained magical smell-nullifying litter the powers of which were foretold by legends.

It will start to leak smells long before going past 25% capacity, and only by adding two 12cm dehumidifiers next to the filter was I able to make it not smell at the 2-3 day mark after changing the bag.

I’m surprised that standard de-humidifiers are not a part of their shop catalog. The way that the rotation & the drop onto the drawer works, you can expect to consistently have mild litter spillage out of the bag (into the drawer) on the left side every single time.

The frontal rubber gasket will pretty much never look as it is in the pictures, it’s attached only by contact and the contact area is under 1/4 inch – expect it to become loose any time your cat decides to touch it.

This doesn’t affect the functionality of the product. Due to the flexibility of the materials involved, expect 3-5% of the litter to go into the internal pouch and then back out between cycles – and also that sometimes a clump will push the filtering grate out of the way and go under it instead of going into the drawer.

The product is still great, and from what I searched there is no better alternative right now – for me it’s not a 5 star product, but if I were looking for a 5 star product in the future. the first place I’d look would be here – in case a litter robot 4 had been made.

After a few months with the Litter Robot, we’ve acquired enough experience to give it a fair assessment. Overall, there are some good ideas here, but across the board their implementation leaves something to be desired, which isn’t great for such an expensive product.

At this price tag, it should be much more effective than it is. The unit makes a decent immediate impression. It doesn’t take up too much space and looks sleek. One problem that does become immediately obvious though is the size of the chamber.

It’s rather small, and our cat doesn’t really fit inside. He was able to figure out a way to use it by perching on the edge of the entrance with the front half of his body sticking out the door, and I can’t blame him for not wanting to squeeze all the way in – it gets gross in there pretty quickly.

The cleanliness thing was one of our major qualms. The rubber bottom of the chamber creates the perfect surface for waste to clump against, leading to huge lumps that remain stuck to the floor of the unit.

To make matters worse, sometimes they do release but don’t make it into the disposal hatch, ending up sticking to the walls or ceiling. Without constant attention, the inside quickly becomes encrusted.

We tried different litters that claimed they wouldn’t stick, but nothing worked. The only solution was to go in their ourselves with a chopstick at least once a day to scrape everything off the walls and floor.

Kinda defeats the purpose of an autonomous device when you need to perform a gross and dirty maintenance task on it with every operation. And even the operation itself left something to be desired. Aside from needing help to actually dislodge the waste and get it into the chute, the litter-preservation function is poorly thought out.

It’s supposed to work by tilting the chamber so everything inside falls against a slotted grate. The idea is that only the litter will pass through the grate and into the preservation area, while the waste remains in the main chamber to be rolled into the disposal chute.

The problem is, the machine gives very little time for the litter to actually make its way through the grate, and the vast majority ends up just going into the trash with the clumps of waste. The machine then rolls back over, spitting out the pitiful quantity of litter that it did manage to save, which is certainly not enough for a cat to actually use.

This meant if we didn’t want to waste ridiculous amounts of litter, we needed to scoop the disposal tray like a litterbox to extract the waste and save all the extra litter to be used again. And at that point, we were doing more work to keep this thing running than it takes to just scoop a litter box.

Which is completely against the point of a fancy autonomous device that costs half a grand. Perhaps this device could be improved in the next generation with a larger chamber and a more effective system for sifting the litter and disposing of the waste.

The core design seems to have some cleverness, and the ideas could work if implemented better. In its current incarnation though, it’s dirtier and more time consuming than a litter box. Unfortunately the full scope of these problems only becomes apparent after spending some time with the device, and we made the mistake of doing research and trying many of our own solutions to better facilitate the machine’s functioning rather than just sending it back.

Now we have eclipsed the very short return period and are stuck with a useless machine. Perhaps we will sell it to recoup some of the losses, but we’d feel bad about charging any significant amount for something that works so poorly.

Do yourself a favor, and just don’t put yourself in our predicament in the first place. Just scoop the litter box, it only takes a minute and it ends up being a better experience for both you and the cat.

TranslateShow in original languageEs uno de los mejores areneros que he probado. Extremadamente práctico y con una apariencia agradable, bloquea la propagación de olores en el baño: las dimensiones bastante generosas permiten, de hecho, el uso en la versión “cerrada” incluso para gatos medianos y grandes.

La puerta basculante cierra muy bien y no le dio ningún problema a mi gran gato, mientras que el sistema con dos bandejas + tamiz es muy cómodo para la limpieza, que es muy fácil y rápida. Algunos han escrito que han tenido problemas con los cierres, que muchas veces se salen al abrir: dos o tres veces me ha pasado a mí también, solo para darme cuenta que los aditamentos no son intercambiables, sino que son “redondeados” y tienen una dirección y , si se insertan correctamente, es poco probable que se desprendan.

Muy recomendable. En cambio, los invito a mejorar el empaque del envío, ya que el paquete llegó allí roto en varios lugares y se volvió a pegar en el menos peor (al momento de la entrega todavía había aberturas en los bordes de la caja): afortunadamente, todos los componentes fueron enviados todavía estaban presentes en el interior.

Extremamente prático e com uma aparência agradável, bloqueia a propagação de odores no banheiro: as dimensões bastante generosas de fato permitem o uso na versão “fechada” mesmo para gatos de médio e grande porte.

A porta basculante fecha muito bem e não deu nenhum problema ao meu gato grande, enquanto o sistema com duas bandejas + peneira é muito conveniente para a limpeza, que é muito fácil e rápida. Alguns escreveram que tiveram problemas com os fechos, que muitas vezes se soltam ao abrir: duas ou três vezes aconteceu comigo também, só para perceber que os anexos não são intercambiáveis, mas são “arredondados” e têm uma direção e , se inseridos corretamente, é improvável que saiam.

Altamente recomendado. Em vez disso, convido você a melhorar a embalagem de envio, já que o pacote chegou lá rasgado em vários lugares e re-preso no menos pior (no momento da entrega ainda havia aberturas nas bordas da caixa): felizmente, todos os componentes foram enviados eles ainda estavam presentes no interior.

Extrêmement pratique et d’aspect agréable, il bloque la propagation des odeurs dans la salle de bain : les dimensions assez généreuses permettent en effet l’utilisation en version “fermée” même pour les chats de taille moyenne à grande.

La porte basculante ferme très bien et n’a posé aucun problème à mon gros chat, tandis que le système à deux plateaux + tamis est très pratique pour le nettoyage, qui est très facile et rapide. Certains ont écrit qu’ils avaient eu des problèmes avec les fermetures, qui se détachent souvent lors de l’ouverture : deux ou trois fois, cela m’est arrivé aussi, pour se rendre compte que les attaches ne sont pas interchangeables, mais sont “arrondies” et ont une direction et , s’ils sont insérés correctement, il est peu probable qu’ils se détachent.

Hautement recommandé. Au lieu de cela, je vous invite à améliorer l’emballage d’expédition, puisque le colis y est arrivé déchiré à plusieurs endroits et recollé sur le moins pire (au moment de la livraison il y avait encore des ouvertures dans les bords de la boîte) : heureusement, tout les composants ont été expédiés ils étaient encore présents à l’intérieur.

I love this! I will say it would be nice to have a lid on it. I have seen some with filters. It would definitely be a good investment! But overall I love it! My cat did not at first. She was to short but now she can jump in it I’m pretty sure all she wants to do is jump in and out! :).

Finally, I have found the correct size litter pan for my cats. I have three indoor cats who range from 13# to 20#. The regular size pans just don’t work for them; not enough room to “dig” their hole to deposit their business, and sometimes they end up perched on the edge of the pan and drop their business over the edge on to the floor.

Now they have plenty of room, and the sides are high enough that the litter doesn’t spill over anymore. I’m happy and they’re happy. That being said, the pan itself is made of a nice, sturdy material that is easy to clean.

I like the rounded top, color and ribbed design.

I have an older cat that no longer would go into covered litter pans and had trouble with the at angle higher pans. This pan, with higher edges and deeper, was perfect. My old girl is no longer missing the pan.

Excellent both for cat and us. Cleaning is easy and minimal. Having a handle it can be easily moved around and lifted to a work bench for cleaning etc. As we are older, we found it difficult to bend down as it would be necessary for traditional cat trays.

Highly recommend this product. We bought the larger size.

My cat is a small cat around 3kg, but she loves this big cat litter box. Especially when she had to wear Elizabeth collar, I opened the lid and it is big enough space for her to access into this litter box.

It helped her a lot. I recommend this to all size of the cats.

I bought this litter box for my cat because of how messy it got with the open box. She adapted to it very quickly! It’s incredibly well-made, looks great anywhere, and keeps the smell contained. I love it so much I got another one! Highly recommend.

Literally the worst litter box Ive tried. I have 3 cats who are 12 years old and have tried automatic boxes, regular tall boxes, hooded boxes, and even the one that hooks up to your laundry and flushes.

And of course I have enough boxes to accommodate all of the cats. This thing gets pee and feces in every nook, its a pain to clean or even scoop, it doesnt absorb odors, and it took ages to assemble.

Its going in the trash.

Nothing is good about this. The directions are ridiculous “not for cats under 3 years old” and it smells like it is poison. It is not worth any amount of money.

It took my cats a few days to get used to this new box, but they are now getting more comfortable with it. So far so good, seems to not track as much litter through the house- which was what I was looking for.

Pretty easy to assemble as well.

The box is too small for a full grown cat to use. It doesn’t seperate the waste out and litter forces the parts open and leaks when you roll the box. The litter refill door falls down over the opening keeping the cats from even getting through the opening.

I would return it if I could but it would cost me more in shipping cost than I already paid. I have been forced to use only the bottom and the lid so my cats have somewhere to go, but now I have to remove the lid and scoop it rwice a day.

I will never buy anything by this company (Omega Paws) again. It was a waste of money. I could get the same results buying a $10. 00 litterbox with a lid. Don’t waste your money, you will just have to hand scoop twice as much because it doesn’t work and is too small to handle normal use even with only one cat.

I’m actually loving this thing right now. I’ve had so much trouble keeping up with my cats, but this definitely makes it easier. I have not had any issues with the screen like previous reviews have mentioned, so they must’ve improved on this.

The removable scoop does not sit flush like some have said, but honestly it doesn’t need to. The reason I took a star off is because it is smaller than I would prefer for the cats inside, although they seem to love it just fine.

They even go in just to check things out sometimes. Also, the clips to secure the lid on have hurt my fingers trying to get closed, but they are definitely fitted and don’t let litter escape. So overall we’re all VERY happy.

What the photos in the instructions don’t tell you is that you need to pretty much turn the whole thing upside down to get it to function as described. But since the clamps that hold the top and bottom together are cheap and hardly seal the part, litter spills out the side.

Then when you roll it back the other way to level out the litter, a third of it won’t sift back through the grate. The waste cut doesn’t fit snuggly. Wet wastes–which we all know sticks to the bottom of litter boxes–won’t drop into the cup so you have to open it regardless to scoop it.

This might be the worst household item in terms of ease of use and advertised functionality I’ve purchased ever. I would avoid and spend a little more for better quality.

This litter box is lovely looking. I have purchased both sizes the larger being comfortable for a larger kitty. It looks great with a colourful mat in any room of the house. I have four litter boxes from the Moderna brand all purchased from Modern Pets.

I am extremely happy with their products and customer service Susanne Love the matching kitty bowls.

It’s so cute! lovely addition to the bathroom. This is a really good size for our older cat and it is structurally well made. I’ve had to get another litter scoop though, because the onboard tool would be good for clumping litter (which we don’t use) and would be better for smaller cats.

The bowl is gorgeous too – love!.

I ordered two Moderna litter boxes for my new fur babies and there was a bowl missing that comes complementary with them. I emailed customer support and they shipped it the next morning. Best customer service I’ve experienced so far!! And the boxes are so cute!! They’re sturdy, very spacious and come with a little scoop.

Couldn’t be happier!!.

I was super excited to get my litter robot as we now have two kitties instead of one. Right off the bat, I was looking forward to not having the home smell like kitty poo with the automatic cycling that the litter robot offers.

Instead, to my disappointment, we are left with a home that smells ‘less’ like kitty poo. I realized that the smell of poo is coming from the bin inside of the litter-robot where the kitty poo and urine is dumped when the box cycles.

The poo and urine clumps get dumped into a baggie that sits open in a pull-out drawer at the bottom of the litter-robot. The problem is that the drawer is not insulated. For the life of me, I cannot figure out why the engineering team at Litter-Robot would not have thought to line the inside of the drawer with foam insulating tape around the edges of the inside of the drawer to keep the poo and urine smell from seeping out through the small cracks.

I am not having to resort to doing that on my own. If you live in a city, you’re likely living in a smaller square footage home with very little free space for multiple boxes. Our home is 1400 sq feet and the living room, dining room, and kitchen are connected in an open style layout with just one wall enclosing part of the kitchen.

Our little robot is in a corner a few feet from the couch in the living room (the litter robot does not fit in either of our bathrooms so this was the only place we could stick it where it wouldn’t be ‘on display.

‘ If you are in any part of this open layout (the living room, kitchen, or dining room), you can smell the poop. I checked the drawer today and there were only two poops in it as I had just changed the plastic liner bag yesterday, and it still wreaked of poo with just two tiny little cat poops in it (our kitties are both still under one year old.

so their poops are not that big). I had really hoped that getting the litter-robot would solve the issue of the poo smell, but to my surprise, it has not ): We might go back to the Modkat boxes with the covers and front opening as we can at least stick two of those in each of our bathrooms.

I gave the litter robot two stars overall for at least cycling the poop out every 7 minutes so that our cats always had clean litter to do their business in. Just isn’t working for us humans who have to smell it.

I loved this thing whenever I first got it, and I have to admit that it really held up for a while with just a single cat using it… but, then I got another, larger male cat and my life with the litter robot has been terrible ever since.

For starters, the app has ALWAYS been subpar. In hindsight, this should have been a red flag for what to expect from the litter robot later down the road because you can’t expect much from a technology if they can’t even produce a reliable app.

Aside from the app and occasional sensor faults, the first year with the litter robot was great for my small, female cat. However, everything has seemed to stop working since I started using it for two cats.

For starters, expect to change this thing at least twice a week if you’re using it for two cats. Second, if you have a high-spraying male (as in he overshoots and hits the back wall), expect to have to deep clean the entire unit about every 1-2 weeks.

This is because the urine will stain the back wall of the litter robot, and you’ll never get that smell out. Trust me, I learned the hard way and my 700-sqft. apartment smells like a giant litter box now because of this.

Third, cleaning this thing is an absolute pain in the a**!! This is probably the biggest drawback of this litter box since it does require frequent cleaning because of how the sifting technology works, which will often times cause small pieces of clumped litter to get caught in the sifting fence and in the nooks and crevices of the litter box.

Lastly, the cycle feature has almost completely stopped working on mine after two years, and since the app doesn’t ever work properly, I’m almost never notified when there’s a cycle error. This leads to a build up of dirty litter in the box until I notice it.

There has even been a few occasions when the litter box jammed mid-cycle, and never notified me in the app, so the box had no litter in it for almost an entire day because it jammed and got stuck before putting the litter back in the box.

So, my cats ended up going to the bathroom outside of the litter box. Customer service and the website recommends sending the unit in to be serviced if it starts having issues like mine, but to be honest, it’s not worth it.

You shouldn’t have to service or replace a $500 litter box annually, period. This thing is a complete waste of money and I seriously regret making this investment. I’m moving tomorrow, and have decided to just toss it because it’s completely disgusting and isn’t even worth the hassle anymore.

I’d much rather go back to taking 2-mins out of my day every day to hand scoop a litter box than deal with this thing anymore. Seriously, save your money and trust the poor reviews! I sure wish I had.
