Customer Ratings & Reviews

After using the Litter-Robot 4 for several months, I can confidently say it’s a significant upgrade from traditional litter boxes and even earlier Litter-Robot models. The most immediate benefit is the convenience-no more daily scooping. Instead, I just empty the waste drawer about once a week, which is a huge time-saver and keeps my home smelling fresher. One of the standout features is the improved odor control. The waste drawer’s design, combined with a carbon filter positioned above it, does a great job at trapping smells. I also appreciate that the trash bag wraps around the outside of the drawer, making it easier to install and helping prevent litter from getting stuck on the sides. The app integration is another highlight: it reliably notifies me when the drawer is full, lets me monitor my cats’ litter box usage, and even tracks their weight-a surprisingly useful feature for keeping tabs on their health. The Litter-Robot 4 is noticeably quieter than the previous model, which is great for a peaceful home environment. Cleaning the unit is a bit easier thanks to a new handle on the globe, though deep cleaning is still somewhat awkward and time-consuming, as you have to disassemble the globe and handle a bulky part. Regular maintenance, like monthly deep cleans and weekly spot checks, is still necessary to keep things running smoothly and odor-free. On the downside, the Litter-Robot 4 is expensive, and the interior space may feel cramped for larger cats. While it’s more compact on the outside, it still takes up a fair amount of floor space. Some users have reported occasional sensor glitches or cycling errors, but I found the app and hardware to be reliable in daily use. Overall, I’m impressed by how much easier the Litter-Robot 4 has made cat care. It’s not perfect-regular cleaning is still required, and the price is steep-but for the convenience, odor control, and tech features, it’s been worth the investment for my household.

Overall does what it says. I have two Maine Coon kittens that are almost 5 months old. The larger one, the male, uses it no problem. And it’s large enough it will be just fine as he grows. The only problem I have had so far is at times the urine clumps don’t always dump. They stay stuck to the liner and need to be knocked loose with a scoop. As for odor. There is no order other than the immediate after use. Once it cycles after the cat has jumped out there are no smells. Ease of emptying the used litter clumps is as simple as it shows. Pull open, grab bag, and throw out. I do think however that the price is super expensive for it. Will determine with time if it was worth it. Depending on how long it last.

I was afraid my cats would be afraid for the noise but just the opposite occurred. My three cat’s lineup to use it. It’s amazing to watch. One cat uses it while the next one waits for it to turn them takes his turn. No expensive bags needed. A plain 13 gallon drawstring bag firs over the draw and all I have to do is pull the strings up and take it to the trash. I did not receive any promotions on this product.

I was hesitant to buy this because of the high price tag. We have neighbors that own the older model and love it. We went ahead and took advantage of the Black Friday sale and Best Buy’s easy payment options. No regrets!! This is a must have for any cat owner. We have 3 cats and this litter robot is absolutely worth every penny. Not having to scoop litter is priceless. We have owned other fancy litter boxes- even the toilet one, and this is by far the best. No special litter to buy. No expensive soap cartridges. If you’re thinking about getting it, do it! One of our cats is 17lbs and he fits in this just fine. Our cats took right to it. Would buy again!

I know what youre thinking. “Id rather scoop a litterbox than ever spend $800 on a LITTERBOX!” Well your be right but also wrong. It is a practical purchase but it isnt for everyone seeing how for many $800 can be a house payment, but if you really are tired of scooping a litterbox or it constantly stinks up the house then you should go for it (or at least finance it to afford it). Its very simple to set up almost ready out of the box. I can no longer smell the waste even when you’re close to it. On the plus side it also looks aesthetically pleasing.

I waited almost two months before writing this review. I wanted to make sure it worked. I have seen a number of other reviews where the buyer was frustrated. Not me. Works as advertised. Took a little bit of learning on my part, but it was worth it. Great product. No muss, no fuss, no smell, no more digging out nuggets. Yes, it is pricy. But it is worth it.

Was hesitant because of the price, but bought a cheaper automatic litter box and that’s where I lost the money! Super easy set up. No smell. Trying different litters currently to find the one with the least amount of dust. But that shouldn’t hold you back. Has made my life much easier. My cat adjusted to it the same day and prefers it over his other one.

I thought I was buying a litter box. What I actually purchased was a high-tech throne for my cat, Mojo the Majestic. The moment I set up the Whisker Litter-Robot 4, Mojo examined it like a king inspecting his new palace, gave me a slow, approving blink, and immediately decided this was his spaceship, his fortress, and his personal bathroom concierge all in one. At first, I was skeptical. Would this robotic wonder truly handle the foul sorcery that Mojo unleashes on a daily basis? Oh, my dear, unsuspecting nose—this thing doesn’t just handle it; it eliminates all evidence like some kind of feline MI6 operation. No scooping, no smelly surprises, just sweet, glorious cleanliness. And the smart app? Oh, it’s next-level. Now, my phone sends me push notifications about Mojo’s bathroom habits, which is something I never thought I needed in life but now find both hilarious and strangely fascinating. My cat is basically tweeting me from the toilet. But the best part? Mojo now fully believes this is his personal spaceship. Every time he enters, he does a dramatic pause, as if preparing for launch. The box cycles when he’s done, and he watches it with awe and suspicion, like he just witnessed magic. Sometimes, he even sits in front of it for hours, waiting for it to do something else cool. Final verdict: If you love your cat but hate scooping poop, buy this. If your cat has an inflated ego and dreams of intergalactic conquest, buy this. If you want to witness a small furry creature experience the future before your very eyes, BUY. THIS. NOW

It took a couple weeks before my cat would use this regularly, but after that period it has been a definite help. I haven't had to scoop since! It's not a perfect solution, since often times clumps of litter get stuck in the grate and I need to clean it off. All things considered, I wish this was about half the price and I would say it's completely worth it.

I’ve had the litter box for about 3 weeks. I have 2 cats and both of them use the litter box. I love that I don’t have to scoop and I can monitor how often they use the litter box even when I’m traveling. The Litter Robot is easy to set up and use. I followed the instructions provided and my cats started to use the Litter Robot instead of their old litter box in the second week of use. For the first week, I manually cycled the litter box. For the past 2 weeks, the Litter Robot has been set to cycle 30 minutes after the cat is detected. I shortened the wait time today to 25 minutes and removed the old litter box. Although the instructions recommend a 15 minute delay with multiple cats, I’m still working out the litter clumping speed. I use Tidy Cats Lightweight with Glade which seems to clump slower than I expected. I also added Dr. Elsey’s Cat Attract to the litter to encourage the cats to use the Litter Robot.

Best purchase I’ve made for my cats. I bought two Litter Robot 4’s for my 6 cats and I plan to buy one or two more. My most neurotic cat took to it immediately and the others took a bit longer to adjust. One of my cats is a tripawd and he uses it without any issues. I have a love-hate relationship with the app; the robots disappear off the app from time to time.

Bought this machine due to the fact we have three cats. Had multiple boxes throughout the house and still had a tough time keeping up. This machine solved that issue. Cats took to it fairly easy, and definitely keeps the cleaning nice and simple. Phone app works really well. Filters and bags are cheaper to get on Amazon, although a thirteen gallon trash bag works. Had it about two months now, and not a single issue.

This thing is a Godsend. We had been on the fence about this because of the price and because of stories of “robot” litter boxes potentially harming cats. I did a lot of research and learned that the machines that harm cats are built very differently from the Litter Robot by Whisker. This machine is safe and can in no way harm a cat like the stories that are out there. From my understanding and experience with this Litter Robot, this is a very safe and amazing machine! How to the actual robot. It works like a dream for our two cats. They took to it right away with no problems. We have the robot set to run a cycle 7 minutes after use and it has eliminated all foul smells that came with our old regular litter boxes. I had become “nose blind” to the smells for the most part because we cleaned out the litter boxes daily. But no matter how often we cleaned the boxes or which types of litter we used (and we tried many), the house always had a bit of odor. Since having the Litter Robot, our house no longer smells at all. Not even the room that houses the litter robot ever smells. It’s also very convenient as it self cleans. The bag seems small but it takes a while to be filled. And once it’s time to actually clean the robot, it is very easy. Honestly, I wish we had made the decision to get this a lot sooner. We love our cats and determined that living with smells was just a part of the deal. The Litter Robot has changed all of that!

I think I love it more than my cats do and they fill it up every few days. I have 2 cats. I don’t like to scoop boxes. They don’t like to use dirty litter boxes. This is the best of both worlds. I had a little trouble getting it to connect with my wi-if and nearly gave up on getting it fully automated at first. I called tech support between meetings and they sent me an email with instructions to get it up and running. The second time I tried, it went without a hitch and other than a SNAFU when the power went out and the internet went down and it needed a button pushed, we haven’t looked back. The only issue I have is it seems to clean when it’s supposed to be sleeping so I wonder if it’s set to my time zone.

I have always wanted one final could get on progressive leasing. This new version is amazing easy to use love the app and auto sponsor to detect cat. I clean and empty mine 1x a week for 2 cats. Love extra wide opening great for big/ longer cats. Which is why I did not by the robot3. I got the accessory package and the mat is truly a game changer. It not only traps litter but you can dump the litter back in to the robot. Can use clear trash bags when you run out of what it came with. I have a litter robot bag under and another trash bag on top to elp catch if my other bags break because they are not as thick as the litter robot bags. The lights Chang color to let you know what is needed.

This machine is SO good. We have four cats who are very particular ahout their litter. This has saved us! The cats are happy, there is no mess, and there is no smell!!! The app is helpful and intuitive.

So much better than the traditional litter boxes! My cats were hesitant at first but it was a quick and easy transition. Cleaning the robot is easy and I wish I purchased this sooner!

All the advertising is true. If you're tired of scooping every time your cat hits the box, look no further. Let's get to why this is great quickly. It just works and works well. The internal "barrel" rotates after a set amount of time (that you can set in the app) and the loose litter falls into a special compartment while the waste is too big to do so and as it rotates, an opening appears at the bottom. The waste falls through the hole into a removable waste bin with a trash liner. What I love is when it rotates back, the stored good litter, returns to the bowl and it slightly over turns from the home position to allow the litter to fall in the perfect center position for it's home position. Since the waste bin is only "in the open" when it's emptying, you don't get smell at all unless they've just went. There's a replaceable carbon filter that you can replace that helps with this as well, but I think it helps less than the bin just not being out in the open air. The app is intuitive and easy to use. It has a smart scale where it will track the weight of your cats. Unfortunately for me, 3 of my 4 cats are very similar in weight so it struggles to measure them correclty. Aside from the buttons on the unit, you can control almost everything from the app since the litter robot connects to the wifi. The instructions are easy to follow so no worries there. Finally cleanup is easy. You pull out the waste bin, tie up the bag, and drop it in your existing trash or take it straight out to the cans. The matt is two layers that separate like a book. I just fold it up like a taco and dump it into the fresh liner for the bin. Also with the core accessories bundle you get some toxic free wipes which I use to wipe down the inside of the barrel. I usually wear gloves and just give it a wipe down when it's in the "emptying" position so all the litter is stowed away and makes the occasional wipe down very easy. This is an easy recommend. It's a big leap on the price but I think it's worth it to keep the house smelling fresh while cutting down on the time, space, and maintenance of 4 boxes vs 1.

It’s very easy to use, definitely worth it especially if you have a busy schedule. My house has not smelled at all since I got it. Best purchase for my fur babies

Easy set up, seems to stay much cleaner than my last automatic litter box, quiet, easy to empty, large opening for my fat cat! Most important…. The smell is gone in my house!
