Due to the way the drum rotates when it cycles, you do need to set it a few centimetres off the wall. If not, it’ll catch. It’s not a big deal but you’ll need to make sure you have the room. Let’s face it, the best automatic litter boxes are expensive. Even the ‘cheap’ ones aren’t cheap. So here are a few things to consider to help you find the best one for you and your cat. Cost The manufacturer says it’ll self-clean for up to 10 days before you need to empty the bin. With Nico, we found 7-8 days was more accurate but we guess that will vary from cat to can.
The ongoing costs– These are the consumables your automatic litter box uses. They include litter disposal bags, deodorising refills, filters and sometimes the litter itself. That said, they’re expensive so you want to make sure you find the right model for you and your cat. The best self-cleaning litter boxes are safe and comfortable for your cat, easy to clean, quiet, and simple to use.We did find cleaning it a bit more tiresome than the Pura X. You can completely empty the litter with the touch of a button. But because you have to reach in to wipe down the internal walls, it was a bit harder. It’s not a deal breaker, just an observation.
If you have a larger cat, or more than one cat, then have a look at the PetKit Pura Max Extra Large Automatic Litter Box.Rake-style litter trays the PetSafe Scoop Free have a much lower profile but they can take up more floor space.
It also has a help step drawer you can pull out to help your cat walk into it instead of hopping in. The entrance hole and internal space are quite a lot bigger too. As such, it’ll accommodate cats from 3.5lbs (1.5kg) to 22lbs (10kg). The Pura X features their ‘xSecure System’. This is a system of 12 sensors which ensures your cat’s safety. Thermal and infrared sensors detect your cat’s presence around the litter box. The weight sensors detect their presence while inside it. Also remember that, if given the choice, your cat will also use what’s familiar. Chances are, your cat will default to their old litter tray. If you leave their old tray un-scooped for a couple of days, they may choose to use their new, clean one.As such, a good product will trap smells and have effective odour filtration and/or deodorizing features. Quiet Operation In the box, you get a power cord, adapter, waste bin liners, deodoriser and litter mat. As well as the unit itself. At 60cm diameter and 64cm high, it’s a good size with a 60-litre internal capacity which will handle most cats. In fact, it’ll handle cats from 3.3lbs (1.5kg) to 28.7lbs (13kg). Now we must admit, our test cat, Bridget already used silica litter in her old litter tray. As a result, the transition to the PetSafe was pretty seamless. But some cats need a bit of time to get used to silica litter so don’t bear this in mind. All this can make owning and maintaining a self-cleaning litter box pretty expensive. Litter Compatibility
