Any recommendations on an automatic cleaning litter box?

  • 2 cats
  • Don’t really care about smart features, but prefer NOT to be required to use Wifi/Smartphone.
  • Not interested in changing litter or using proprietary litter formula
  • Not interested in models that require replacing consumables (filters, sprays, mats, etc)
  • Covered preferred but not required.
  • Under $500 Thanks!

    The Litter Robot 3 is a well built and well designed workhorse. I think they cost a little more new than your budget, but they may have a model right around 500.

    Depending on your comfort level with the idea and where you live, you can sometimes find them on the used market for a couple hundred dollars, or even occasionally a free non-working unit. Replacement parts are easy to get and install.

    They have a WiFi model that can use an app to alert you when the tray is full or something unexpected happens, but it works just fine without the app or internet.

      I will second this. We have one and it’s awesome. I pull it apart every 3-4 months or so to give it a good clean, but other than that it’s set and forget essentially
