PetPivot Automatic Cat Litter Box Self-Cleaning with Safety Protection, Mat and Trash Bags Included, White

I've only had this a couple of days, but I think it is better than Litter Robot (LR) 3 ($550) and Litter Robot 4 ($700). I had massive issues with both LRs — they would get stuck and blink red, start going backward, and just malfunction and not run. I cleaned both thoroughly and followed other troubleshooting tips from the LR site. I was going to buy another LR when my last one finally crapped out, but they are now $800-$1,000, and I just couldn't do it. The PetPivot, which I hadn't heard of before googling for an auto litter box, is super quiet and makes less of a mess in the unit itself. A downside is that it is smaller inside than the LRs, but my babies are very petite (they were runts in different deliveries, as they are half-siblings with different mothers), and they have adapted well and merely changed their sitting/squatting positions, turning kind of sideways instead of going in and turning around to face the opening like they did for the LRs. There is no lingering smell. The cleaning cycle is quick. There is a delay between the box turning to cover the waste and then dropping the waste into the bottom, which is done to give the scooping litter time to do its thing and clump well. For each cycle, it runs twice. It doesn't take long for this two-step cycle. I love it, and I'm so glad I found a cheaper alternative to the LRs. Do NOT use non-clumping litter in automatic litter boxes! They will break. I wish I would have found this box before I bought the LRs. Oh, and it came with some litter bags, which is great and keeps the bottom tray clean and removing the waste a breeze.

Not the PetPivot as advertised. Came in in a box simply called " Smart Cat Litter Box". Does not stay connected to the software. Does not stop when kitten gets in after big cats gets in. I have to manually turn it off at the surge protector to make sure the kitten stays safe. So motion detection does not work in the back whatsoever when it is dumping. I cannot find the proper replacement pads to clean the inside out properly, but still trying. Always gets stuck at the end of the dumping cycle and starts jumping loudly and usually part of the contents end up in the floor as well as in the bin below.

I have 7 cats %26 they are putting this thing to work! I use this %26 one regular litter box %26 it has made my job 10x easier. Easy to setup, sturdy %26 cleans great. My cats have really tested the safety stop %26 it also works great. Make sure to use clumping litter. No issues with odors at all. When the bottom tray if full its easy to close %26 remove the bag without causing a mess. My cats absolutely love it. After a week of them thinking it was a fun carnival ride they are all just simply enjoying the clean litter routine.

100% Yes!!!! I highly recommend this! My cat is not scared of it at all… It is very quiet… I love the fact that I do not have to touch it except for pulling the bag out and throwing it in the garbage… I liked the little Matt that comes with it so when my cat jumps out all the little pieces of glitter that are stuck to his paws go in that mat… And it's very unique the way it's made.. just remember you cannot use crystals in this Auto litter box… I find that armor and hammer is a great litter for this specific Auto litter box… It has a very nice scent to it and does what it's supposed to do perfectly, just make sure you get the litter bentonite. I know it sounds expensive for the Auto litter box, but you'll find it is so much worth the money.! personally I don't think $139 is very much for as long as this thing will be in your household for your cats ;) You will not be disappointed in anyway… Get you one for your household and just sit back and relax with no worries

So much better than scooping! totally worth it! the cord is somewhat short so plan ahead for that if its not within I think 3 feet of a plug. came with everything I needed but the litter and the extension cord. bags are included:)

The container is the perfect size for multiple cats. I love this open litter box because my larger cats have room to move around in it. I love that when it's emptied, the box closes so the dirty litter doesn't fall onto the floor. It comes with all the dividers and a full roll of special litter bags.

So far love it. Has taken a few try's to figure it out but overall does a great job and no more litter box smell. 2 cat household

The instruction was clear and easy. It works very well.

this works so poorly . I bought this item for my mother . And I myself am so disappointed with it in its performance ! What a big waste of momey and so much time . I have not and will not recommend this to someone for free. The old stlye box is the only way to go .

One month in and very thrilled with this purchase. Need to empty the bin more often than expected but it is easy. I use the manual mode exclusively, if it was set to auto mode then it would fill the bin and I wouldn't know it and then the cats would not be able to use it.
