MeoWant Self-Cleaning Cat Litter Box, 75L Extra Large Open Automatic Cat Litter Box for Multi Cats, Integrated Safety Protection/APP Control/Odor Removal Smart Box with Mat & Liner

I've had ours a year and a half. Works great. My chonky 15lb boy loves it. So do I. Its quick to set up. Easy to clean, and easy to access and change the used litter. SUPER quiet. It is in the kitchen, right next to the living room. No noise when it spins. No smells. I love it.

I have had a Litter Robot 3 for just over four years, and it has been relatively problem free (occasionally has faults, mostly due to me putting too much litter in). However, it is very tall and I have a kitty with bad hips and noticed him having difficulties getting in/out of the Litter Robot, even with the steps. So, when I saw an ad for the Meowant SC02, I was interested in giving it a try because it has a much lower entry. I finally got one and set it up, and my kitty immediately started using it. He can get in/out MUCH easier, to my relief. Some things I have noticed that I like better about the SC02 compared to the LR3: it is a bit smaller dimensionally; being a tiny bit narrower and much shorter so it may be a better choice if you need it to fit into a smaller space. It is FAR quieter; I can hear my LR3 cycling across the house but barely hear the SC02 cycling when I'm the same room. It also seems more sensitive to a cat's weight that the LR3, which sometimes did not register my kitty who is about 6.5 lbs and on occasion would start to cycle with him in it. The SC02 has no trouble sensing his weight so the risk of it cycling while occupied is significantly reduced. I like that the cycle time isn't limited to specific intervals, and there is more flexibility in programming. I also prefer changing the bin on the SC02 as I don't have to move the steps and pull a tray out from under it. The deodorizer seems to work better as well. I haven't been able to get it to calibrate properly, but it may because we have bare floors during a post flood remodel. Hopefully it will calibrate later on when the new floors are in. It is a bit odd that it doesn't have a power button and can only be power cycled by physically unplugging it. I have heard that the Litter Robot 4 offers the same features that the Meowant has over the LR3, but at more than twice the cost. This is a fairly reasonable price automatic litter box, and it is a safe design that doesn't have a closing mechanism that could trap or crush a cat. It also needs less litter than the LR3. I would highly suggest searching for the separate sifter with smaller holes as the one that comes with it has larger holes that allow waste bits to sneak past. All in all, highly recommend! I hope it lasts a while. Update: I added the above mentioned replacement sifter with the smaller holes as it seems more effective for small particle litter (I recommend leaving the original sifter in for larger format litter like pine), and also a snap on barrier on the bottom of the entrance because someone (and unknown one of my three kitties) peed out the opening more than once. These have definitely helped but the BIGGEST code cracked is how to keep it as clean as possible. Clumps were sticking to the inside of the barrel - just like they would do in my LR - and it was frustrating. So, I cleaned the surfaces really well, wiped down the interior with Armor All and then wiped off the excess, and switched to Arm & Hammer Hardball litter. Not only does the Hardball litter clump tightly, so far none has stuck to the inside of the barrel AND it's a super soft litter which will be more comfortable for little peets.

PROS: - Size (works for my cats and fits nicely in an unused closet). - Easy to clean (mostly, see cons below). - Weight data for my cats has helped indicate when one cat was under the weather. - Price is excellent compared to competitors, and for the functionality it is a great value! CONS: - Grate holes are a little large so some of the wetter pee clumps get broken up instead of scooped away. - Litter does get into the nooks and crannies of the lid, which in turn gets stuck in the springs for the lid latch, making the open/close function either sticky or hard to latch. I’ve been able to remove the outer plastic and clear things up, but it’s a bit laborious with ~20 tiny screws to contend with. I would love to see an updated version where the outer plastic is better sealed or easier to remove for cleaning!

One star because of the game playing, poorly named, customer support. Litterbox broke after 13 months, one month past warranty. Customer support is useless. They take weeks to answer email (forget the chat function), and then just ask for your order number. Which if you purchased from Amazon, they won't help you. Was told to contact another slow department for non-company purchases. They asked for a screenshot of the order from their website (yep, non-company purchase department wants company purchase order number). Been three months trying to get help but get only the same stupid response which takes weeks. There is no help nor FAQ on their website that actually has any information other than sales promotional. Drum stopped rotating at the dump position and will not return to home position. I asked for suggestions to repair the unit. Only response has been to ask for the company website order number. This is not my only automatic litter box so I have experience with others. This one worked fine until just after the warranty period. Although they apparently will not even think of helping you unless you purchased from their website. We just want some suggestions on repair, not asking them to replace the unit. But the useless customer support only asks for the company website order number when they deign to answer my emails. Secondary issue; the WiFi connection only works with 2.4Ghz, which is not set up in my home network. You need the app connectivity to make any changes to the dump delay timer. No problem with the default timing, worked fine until of course, the drum stopped rotating. If you do want to roll the dice and purchase: waste hopper is easy to empty. Although the base unit is sensitive to overfilling so pay attention to the fill line when adding litter. Large opening is good for the cats. Unit is quiet (makes the LitterRobots sound loud by comparison). Smaller overall dimensions than the LitterRobot so it can fit under a countertop. A bit awkward to pick up as it lacks any handholds (i.e. when emptying for cleaning) but not overly heavy. And the aforementioned WiFi issue.

The basket fills up in a couple of days, the "supposedly" smart box is not smart at all, because the mobile app is not available in Apple Store nor Google Play Store. Definitely not worth the money for a plastic box. Manufeacturer refuses to support it, seller rejects the return. THIS IS A SCAM
