Neakasa M1 Open-Top Self Cleaning Cat Litter Box, Automatic Cat Litter Box with APP Control, Odor-Free Waste Disposal Includes Trash Bags

I have used every self cleaning litter box out there - the common manual ones where you have a sifting tray or you roll the litter box over to not so common which looked like some kind of dump truck system you had to crank. I’ve also used all the electric ones - the rakes, the rollers, the washing litter - there isn’t a system I haven’t tried. If I wanted to depress myself I’d take a picture of the pile of money sitting in my garage in self cleaning cat box form. So many tried, so many failed. Either they were too complex, they made a huge mess, the smell was awful, they were a pain to empty, they were a pain to clean, just stopped working, they took up massive amounts of space, or the cats refused to use them. Or some combination of all of the above.But I am an inherently lazy person who loves cats and a good gadget, so when I saw this new self-cleaning box I was overcome with a Gollum like desire to own one. This would surely be the self-cleaning cat box of my dreams.Shockingly, it almost is. You still have to empty a drawer once a week or so - the poop doesn’t magically disappear - but in the month I’ve owned it, I’ve been more than pleased with the purchase.It’s very easy to set up. You just put the legs on. They’ve done proper design - you can only insert the posts in the correct place.You download the app and follow the very clear directions for pairing the box with your phone. You add your cats in the app by weight - the box will do an exact weight later, so you can just take a guess at the moment. And that’s it.There’s tons of options for set up on the box - you can turn the sound on or off, there’s a kitten mode, you can set up the time between use and clean or if you just want it to run at certain times, and a quiet time where it won’t run at all.My cats were a tad suspicious of the box that moved on its own as you can see from the picture. I didn’t run it on auto at first. I’d track when they used it - you can tell when the cats were just looking in the box and when one actually got in. And based on the length of time in the box, you could also tell if the used it or were just checking it out. Then I ran it only when I was in the room too. After about a week I started using the app to run it when I was in the next room. So the cats could hear it start and go check and see I wasn’t concerned. After a couple days of that, I put it on auto. Because the app allowed me to see they were using the box like normal, I didn’t have to worry they’d boycotted the box and found a corner in a closet.The white cat is still highly suspicious and convinced there’s a critter in there she might need to kill (she’s a mighty indoor only hunter) so she’ll check around the box while it’s running. When she tries to look in the box during the cycle, it stops and waits until she’s finished examining everything and then will continue after she’s been clear 10 seconds. It also moves very slowly and in short stages which alleviates any concern that one of them might get caught somehow.Because of the white cat’s abiding suspicion, she often digs in the litter to see if there’s something hiding in there after the cycle runs, pulling litter out of the box. But a handy mat was included with the box that allows the litter to fall into it and you can just dump it back into the box without worrying about tracking it everywhere.I can also tell by looking at the app that she will only use the box when there is light in the bathroom, so I’ve started leaving the bathroom light on for her and get her a little night light by the box. It’s really nice to be able to track things like that. The app will also tell you when the waste bin is full. With two cats that’s about every 5-6 days. The drawer is easy to access and the bags are easy to replace. You just want to make sure you don’t trap air under the bag or the box might register the bin full before it is.It doesn’t take up much more space than a regular box and you can put it really close to the wall.There are only two issues I have with the box. One is the height. My striped cat has stumpy legs and needs a small step to get in the box. The step you can buy from them is crazy expensive for what it is. The other is the bags provided for the bin don’t shut fully after they’re full. I have to put the full bin bag in another small trash bag so I can tie it closed to keep the smell down. But neither issue is overly onerous to deal with, so I’m not put out. Certainly not a big deal compared to all the positives.Is it expensive? Yes. I got mine during Prime Days and there was a good discount, but it’s still pricy. However, it totally delivers on keeping the litter box clean and the cats happy while being very easy to use. I’d make the purchase again in a heartbeat.

The media could not be loaded. Long but worth the read to know how to get your cats to use it. I chose this automatic litter box because of the open top. I have a male sphynx who has a long body and weighs 10 lbs and I also have a small female sphynx who weighs 6 pounds. My male does this crazy looking thing where he stands up on his hind legs and holds onto the side and pees. I had a feeling the enclosed litter robot might not work for him. I’m using the arm and hammer hard ball litter in this and it works wonderfully. The smell of this litter is amazing!! My whole room smells nice. Sphynx cats eat more than other cats and they are stinky when they poop! They can clear a room! The only time I smell the box is while they’re pooping and I never smell it again. I have this box set to turn over the poop to make sure it’s coated good and then clean and dump it 7 minutes after they get out! It’s perfect timing for my cats. It gives it time to clump and then dump. When I first started setting it up which is a breeze to do btw, my male kept jumping in it like it was a box to play in. I had to remove him 3 times to finish. I activated it to level the litter and he was fascinated with the movement and watched it. I removed their old breeze box completely out of sight and placed this new one in the exact same spot that the old box was. This is gross and graphic but it’s how you need to do it: The way you get them to use it is, you take a decent sized, coated with old cat litter turd out of your old box, you can use a glove, but I just used a few paper towels and picked the biggest one out before throwing the old box away. It was pretty dried so it broke up into 3 pieces when I went to put it in the new litter which worked out because I planted and slightly buried with the tops still showing slightly in 3 places spaced out in the new litter box. Make sure your new box here is set to manual instead of automatic so that it doesn’t dump your turds you just planted right away. If you have multiple cats, you can set it back to automatic AFTER ALL your cats have done their business. My male sniffed and quickly realized that this is not a box to play in but a box to do his business. He cautiously climbed up in it and scratched around and finally positioned himself which I took a picture of. My female was sleeping at the time, so she hadn’t had a chance to notice the new box yet, so the old turds and his business he just did was left in there. When she woke up, she went to the area and just stood there and looked at it for a couple of minutes but then she started smelling and inched closer to get a better whiff and check it out. Now, she’s pretty tiny so when she went to climb in, she struggled a little because it’s taller than what she’s used to. I need to find a small step but I haven’t found one yet that I can place in front of it on the mat to help her. I left her alone tho and didn’t help her because she was in the mood to use the box so I didn’t want to distract her or have her associate having to go with any disruptions so I let her struggle and pull herself up in there. She did the same thing he did, smelled for awhile and scratched around a bit and then she peed. I let her take her time getting out and go on about her business and then I turned the automatic on a few minutes later. Both cats just watched it move and it was very quiet so I didn’t bother them at all. They have used it every time like normal since and that was last Friday when I got it. I decided to check the drawer 4 days later and it was time to take the bag out and put a new one. Just DON’T open the drawer until you’re ready to change it because, it’s stinky when you open it. The drawer is sealed very well though and contains the smell so you only smell it when you open it. I’ve never smelled it at all before when walking by the box. I decided every 4 days was a good time frame to check and change the bag for my two cats so I set a 4 day reminder in the app. I love how you can just cinch it up and throw it away and the bags aren’t cheap. They are heavy duty! God!! That’s so easy and quick! I love it!! I may change litter but I love the smell of this one so much that I don’t want to. My male is a wild man getting out after he does his business. I guess he feels so good and light that he just barrels out of there so he flings. The mat is great though! I just fold it up a little on the sides once a day and dump it back in the box. I put another rug on the other side of the mat to catch anything in case he jumps out and over which he almost always does. That is working well. I was a little nervous about making this investment but it’s the best decision I’ve ever made for my cats and sooo worth it! I’ll never go back to sifting turds out everyday again!

I just want everyone to know that this is the best robot cat litter box of all time. Unfortunately, I need to return it, but that's strictly because my cat is not good with litter boxes. Trust me, it’s not due to any fault with the robot—she makes a mess with even the most basic litter boxes.I’m sharing this to say that even though it didn’t work out for me, I highly recommend this product. It’s an amazing and beautifully designed litter robot. The app works perfectly, it cleans exceptionally well, and it’s incredibly convenient. I highly recommend it, even though it didn’t work out for me personally (I really wish it had).

Funziona bene, sono rimasta piacevolmene sorpresa dalla qualità di questa lettiera, ho 6 gatti è da quando utilizzo questa lettiera risparmio in sabbietta e niente fatica niente puzza mai più senza

Hola. Tengo 5 gatos de los cuales dos piensan 9kg, he tenido muchísimos areneros de todos tipos. Pero este es el mejor, el diseño es muy adecuado para gatos grandes, fácil de limpiar, las heces no se pegan en el fondo, va muy rápido el ciclo de limpiar. La app es fácil de usar y mide el peso de cada gato. Es liviana y fácil de limpiar. La amo

I bought this cat litter box after 2 horrendous experiences buying 2 separate little robot litter boxes, who have zero customer service.It came beautifully packaged to begin with. It was obviously a quality litter box and well put together. I couldn’t believe how simple and easy it was to set up. ( including the app). The litter box and installation of the bag is ingenious. Easy to install and remove. With no odour escape at all after 3 weeks. The instructions were simple and easy to follow…and then unbelievably it started straight away. ( I have had awful experiences with my past litter boxes.) My 4 Ragdoll cats took to and used the this new box almost immediately. It is perfect for bigger cats with room to spare. They seem very happy using this cat litter box. To finish I must comment on how quiet the box is when emptying the litter and it empties and sifts the waste extremely well. There is no leakage from the bag. It is also much easier to keep clean on a day to day basis as it is open (not enclosed like a lot of litter boxes). I am a widow and disabled, this is the reason I bought an automatic litter box in the first place. But my only wish is that this automatic litter box had been on the market 5 years ago. My life and my cats life would have been so much easier and less stressful. Thank you neakasa. A brilliant automatic litter box which I would highly recommend to anyone thinking of buying an automatic litter box.

The media could not be loaded. De Neakasa M1 Katzenklo...ein echter Hit! Schau mal, ich habe tagelang recherchiert und mir so ziemlich alle Katzenklos angesehen und sogar einige ausprobiert. Eigentlich war ich schon drauf und dran, den Litter-Robot 4 zu kaufen, bis ich zufällig auf dieses Katzenklo gestoßen bin. Für weniger als die Hälfte des Preises des Litter-Robot 4 bekommt man hier ein qualitativ hochwertiges und äußerst benutzerfreundliches (für Mensch und Katze) Produkt, das völlig zurecht von vielen Nutzern mit 5 Sternen bewertet wird. Das robuste Gerät überzeugt auf ganzer Linie und ist meiner Meinung nach die beste Wahl für jeden Katzenhaushalt. Hier ist meine Bewertung. Aber ich kann dir jetzt schon Zeit sparen: Wenn du vorhast, ein Katzenklo zu kaufen, such nicht weiter, denn besser als das hier wirst du nicht finden.Vorab ist es wichtig zu erwähnen, dass die Erfahrung mit einer automatischen Katzentoilette maßgeblich vom verwendeten Katzenstreu abhängt. Nach dem Ausprobieren verschiedener Optionen und gründlicher Recherche bin ich beim Bentonit-Katzenstreu von Everclean gelandet. Es wirkt Wunder in Bezug auf Geruchskontrolle und klumpt sehr stark, sodass der Kot und Urin nicht mehr kleben bleiben. Das ist ein wirklich wichtiger Aspekt. Sollte der Kot nämlich kleben, würde er an den Abfuhrkanten haften bleiben. Das wäre ein Albtraum für Mensch und Katze: Theoretisch müsste man dann die Toilette nach jeder Selbstreinigung säubern, um zu verhindern, dass die Katze in einer verschmutzten Umgebung ihr Geschäft verrichten muss.Nun zu meinen Erfahrungen mit dem Gerät:- Großes Fassungsvermögen und tiefe Füllwanne für das Katzenstreu. Viele andere automatische Katzentoiletten bieten deutlich weniger Platz für das Streu, was bedeutet, dass Urin und Kot oft durchdringen und am Canvas haften bleiben können. Das Streu wird dann nicht richtig gereinigt, da das Abfallmaterial am Canvas klebt und nach jeder Selbstreinigung lediglich von neuem Streu bedeckt wird.- Großer und einfacher Abfluss für das verschmutzte Katzenstreu. Der Abfluss ist großzügig bemessen, sodass Klumpen jeder Größe problemlos entsorgt werden. Der Abfallbeutel lässt sich einfach austauschen, und es gibt sogar eine Methode, um den Beutel zu wechseln und dabei die Geruchsbelästigung zu minimieren.- Die Abfuhrkante der M1 leitet die Klumpen ab, ohne Verschmutzungen zu hinterlassen. Bei den meisten Trommeltoiletten anderer Anbieter bleiben immer Rückstände (Kot) zurück, sodass man regelmäßig reinigen muss. Bei geschlossenen Trommeln ist das zusätzlich unangenehm für Mensch und Katze, da der Geruch in der Trommel unerträglich werden kann.- Das offene Design im Vergleich zur geschlossenen Trommel macht wirklich einen großen Unterschied: Meine Katzen haben das Gerät von Tag 1 an akzeptiert und sofort genutzt.- Minimaler Wartungsaufwand: Abgesehen von etwas Streustaub ist die Toilette und das Streu nach jeder Selbstreinigung frisch und bereit für den nächsten Gebrauch. So haben meine Katzen jederzeit eine saubere und frische Toilette.- Preis: Im Vergleich zum Litter-Robot 4 bekommt man hier eindeutig mehr Komfort für sein Geld.Und natürlich ist es sicher, und die von Neakasa entwickelte App ist ein praktisches Werkzeug, um die Gesundheit der Katzen im Blick zu behalten. Die App zeigt auch an, wie viel Katzenstreu noch vorhanden ist, und ermöglicht es, Erinnerungen einzustellen, die bei der Planung von Wartungsaufgaben (z.B. gründliche Reinigung, Austausch des Abfallbeutels etc.) helfen.Die M1 übertrifft meine Erwartungen und verdient von mir die vollen 5 Sterne! Was für ein großartiges Gerät! Bereits jetzt unentbehrlich für meine Katzen und mich. Ein großes Dankeschön an die Hersteller. Ihr habt die Welt der automatischen Katzentoiletten wirklich revolutioniert!
