Self-washing box that flushes waste away through a water hookup, then washes and hot-air dries reusable granules.
Strengths & trade-offs
Summarized from our published coverage: Best Automatic Litter Box for Multiple Cats: 5 Editor Picks.
What we like
- Waste is flushed out of the house — no drawer or tray to store it
- Washes and hot-air dries reusable granules, so litter is not a recurring buy
- 18-month warranty and a 4.93/5 rating from 123 reviews on the official page
- Septic-safe and app-scheduled for multi-cat use
What we don't like
- Needs a cold water supply and a drain — a plumbing project, not a plug-in
- Uses only its own Washable Granules and SaniSolution cartridges (every 1.5–3 months)
- Listed $529, so not a budget option
- Live product page rate-limits automated checks; price verified from the official page capture

Frequently Asked Questions
Which automatic litter box has the longest stated cleaning interval?
The Litter-Robot 4's waste drawer is stated to need emptying as little as every 8 days, the PETKIT Purobot Max Pro 2 claims up to 17 days for one cat, and the PetSafe ScoopFree Crystal Pro claims up to 30 days before a tray change. These are maker claims tied to specific cat counts, not measurements. Source: Best Automatic Litter Box for Multiple Cats: 5 Editor Picks
Which of these boxes works without cat litter?
The CatGenie A.I. uses permanent reusable Washable Granules that are washed and hot-air dried in place; cat litter is never used. Source: Best Automatic Litter Box for Multiple Cats: 5 Editor Picks
Can I put an automatic litter box on carpet?
Not for every model. PETLIBRO states the Luma needs a hard, flat floor. Check the maker's installation notes before choosing a spot. Source: Best Automatic Litter Box for Multiple Cats: 5 Editor Picks
Do any of these replace manual scooping entirely?
No. All five automate sifting or raking, but a drawer, tray or hopper still has to be emptied or replaced on the maker's stated interval. Source: Best Automatic Litter Box for Multiple Cats: 5 Editor Picks
