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

We’ve had our MeowWant litter box for about 9 months now. I got it shortly after we adopted our littlest of two Siberian cats after I realized how much of a pain it was to hand-scoop two girls’ worth of waste every day. It’sgot its flaws, but it’s infinitely better than hand-scooping. It’s got a small enough footprint that it doesn’t take up too much space in our little apartment bathroom, but it’s large enough on the inside that our ultra-fluffy 13lb 3yr old girl can pretty comfortably go potty, turn around, and dig without being cramped. It works as intended probably 90% of the time, which is as good as it gets right now (skip to the last paragraph for my TLDR on why, and my reasoning for recommending it). 1. The app is nothing to write home about; I thought it would be a great way to keep track of their weight, but it turns out that it just kind of upsets the machine to have an integrated scale (of questionable accuracy), and it disconnects from my phone anytime it’s unplugged/reset, so eventually I just stopped reconnecting it. Our girls will also play on top of it, which triggers the weight sensor and logs it as potty time, which totally throws off the data. I only really needed to connect it once at the beginning to set our cleaning cycle times (8am, 12pm, 5pm, 12am), but otherwise I’m fine with not getting notifications. The machine itself is usually well-behaved, but like all auto-scooping litter boxes on the market, it can be finicky. 2. You have to be really, really careful to shut the waste bin door all the way after opening it up, making sure it is latched and flush against the curve of the barrel before walking away. If it’s left partially open or a corner is sticking out, it’ll catch on its next cycle and spill the contents of the upside down all over the floor. As the lights are blinking red, you have to remove the back part, pick up the barrel, and physically rotate it back into position (and shut the waste bin door properly), unplug it and plug it back in to get it to complete a spill-free cycle if this happens. 3. I recommend keeping a hand-vac handy/near the litter box in case of this, and in general; it’s quite shallow and low to the ground, so if your cat(s) are big on digging like our girls are, litter will end up on floor anyway. Since it’s across from our toilet, I literally just vacuum the surrounding area whenever I pee (…in the human toilet, lol), which makes it very easy. 4. You also must be mindful about what kind of litter you use. The advertisement states that it can take tofu or larger/longer-sized litter pellets, but it really can’t without wasting a bunch of it, as it will mistakenly sift larger particles into the waste bin. We’ve tried 6+ different types of liter with this box, and the ones we’ve found to be the best are ones with very fine, heavy particles, such as BoxyCat or other standard clay litter, or Sustainably Yours corn litter (we love this stuff, it’s just a little spendy). 5. The holes are currently large enough that poops the size of a marble or smaller will be sifted back in with the clean litter. That’s not a huge deal if your litter is really absorbent and dries out the “leftovers,” but I think they should market this for use with the small grain litters and not for use with tofu litters, so they could make the grate smaller in order to catch the small poops. Those things may seem like glaring issues, but they are not specific to MeowWant. Even the biggest, most expensive, most complicated, fanciest-seeming litter boxes have issues, many of which overlap with the issues that this one has. The main thing I learned during the hours upon hours of research I did prior to purchasing this litter box was that the auto-scooping litter robot market as a whole has a long way to go before these are more reliable and commonplace. The thing that *is* unique to MeowWant is the impeccable customer service. They’ve been incredibly accomodating, friendly, and responsive responsive to our concerns in a way that has me believing they actually take what customers say into account when considering design tweaks for future iterations of this product, which is very encouraging (and exceedingly rare). Overall, for now, I genuinely believe this is one of the best auto-scooping boxes available. Between the small footprint, large inside space, quiet operation, and relative ease of use & cleaning (tip: use some enzyme wipes/spray/foam in between deep cleans) make it totally worthwhile if your goal is to save time and energy dealing with your furbaby’s excrement, especially if you don’t have a ton of space or money for a “nicer one.” I’ll put it this way: cleaning up after the occasional litter box malfunction takes a lot less time and energy than scooping a regular litter box multiple times a day. Unless you want to wait for the industry to catch up, this is worth getting. Edit: Although it is not advertised to work with crystal/silica litter, it does sift out the poo and stirs it around enough to not clump, though you may want to scrape the bottom every so often if you go this route. We had to switch away from the clay litter because it was causing our older girl’s tear ducts to plug up, and we can’t use plant based litter because my partner is super allergic to the dust from it. I’m happy to report that it’s working quite well with FreshStep’s blue crystal litter (I don’t remember the exact name. It is not scented), both for us and the girls :)

**UPDATE: No litter box can completely eliminate odor and this one works pretty well. I also stuck a rechargeable ION deodorizer on the left inside of the drum. This way, it isn't in the way of the cleaning rotation; and it comes off to charge or to clean the drum. It was noticeably better so much - that there is nearly zero odor within minutes of the kat using the box. While some speak to the litter that is stuck to the paws (normal), by putting the paver outside for a step up, it also helps with the litter issue. Lastly, the customer who made the suggestion that a sliding door closes when it rotates would be an excellent idea!! My kat does like to "interfere" with the rotation - and the device works well to pause while she's being nosy. I did a lot of looking; chatted with several companies, and bought an open box (since Kona seemed to prefer) that was more work than not. This product is great. First, the communication is excellent (although not by email. Def go through Amazon messages). It is quiet and Kona used it right away. After a week, she is still hesitant, and accepting. The comments about size is odd. It is less wide than almost any others. So, for smaller spaces, it is great. The instructions could use more explanation about the features although it is not too difficult to figure out. On the be aware category, some comment on the litter outside the box. There can be a little (the mat catches it though). Over time, it is less and less because Kona was pawing it from outside and I also reduced the fill. (Note the fill line is not the yellow sticker - it’s the embossed line inside the box as I made that mistake). When a cat is pawing at it; the box registered weight. For those that aren’t the registered cats, those should be able to be deleted (a tip for the future app updates). On odor, it does not have an ION system like others. I slipped a Febreze small spaces (pet) in the bottom of the waste container before putting in the bag.. that helps so much when opening to remove the waste bag. A future version could be 1-1.5 inches deeper. Kona is on the smaller side, and can imagine a really big cat might be a problem. I put a brick in the front to create a step up for Kona and that also serves as a slight enough weight to keep the mat in place.. While she didn’t need the step because it’s entrance is one of the shortest among others, I did it in the early stage to help her get used to it and like that it gives an additional purpose. *you can see it in the photo One of the comments earlier said it only measured in kg - it measures in pounds. The accuracy of the scale is just okay. I highly recommend - for the price, you get an excellent litter box that takes care of itself.

Mejor inversion que compre, super facil de user y me ayuda mucho.

Update - Its been a year and everything below in my review is still accurate. Game changer amd has been amazing. Meowant got this machine right! The other models I've heard of issues, this is the model you need! 3 adult cats use this and I change the waste bin 2x a week.. I use good quality clumping clay litter and I use 10 l compost bin bags for the waste bin. First off I never write reviews, but helping me with litter box maintenance for my furbabies is a priority for me as a full time working mom. I have had the Meowant for 2 weeks now and have just gone through a situation where I had to thoroughly clean due to a little poop on the edge mishap. I had a little Robot 3, and base my comparison off that. I have to say I think the Meowant is a superior machine and I think other than it being new, in the long term time will tell. My LR3 lasted about 2 years before I could not resolve error codes. I tried to convert to the upgrade with ap, however nothing resolved and I gave up. The LR3 was hard to understand. So far the Meowant does what I need it too. It operates flawlessly automatically, does a cycle when I force it to and stops when anything is near. With the LR3 I was left with poop streaks on the interior and was very difficult to deep clean. The globe was heavy, the back was frustratinginly difficult to attach and lots of crevices for litter in the base and the electrical components The Meowant base is open...any litter mess goes on the floor. can't enter the internal works and the electronics. Set up and app install was simple. I admit I did have a second where I thought it didn't work, but once I read the on screen instructions on my phone instead of installing how I thought...it was flawless. Cleaning a poop on the edge mishap was a breeze, the globe is lighter weight and was easy to lift off. The back is user friendly to remove and reattach. and the base is open and no chance of soiled material entering electrical components . A simple spray, wipe and sweep has restored my lifesaving litter box to new. The Meowant surprisingly and generously came with a litter mat ( which works incredibly well) and a pack of disposal bags. I have found my compost container bags will also fit. I also read somewhere that someone used no bags and just dumped the litter and cleaned the comtainer...an economical and environmentally friendly idea. I used to use 2 boxes of 22kg litter a week and I've used less than 1 box so far. I think this will save me money in the long run and hoping it lasts me 2 years at least. few tips: make sure the disposal bag is tucked to the side near where the litter enters not to interfere with the trap door opening; have a little broom from the dollar store to sweep away any little litter particles that may be around where disposal door closes so it closes tightly. Just a few things to keep it working seamlessly. Sorry for long post but before making my decision over this and the LR4, I didn't find much info ( probably cause it's relatively new I think) but took a chance based on One Man Five Cats position that this was the #2, and about 45% less the cost I took a chance, and don't regret it.

Easy set up, our cat adopted it very quickly. We couldn't use the app, because it says that it's not available in Australia. But nevertheless, we don't need it as much.

Received very quickly less than 2 days after ordering thank you! I’ve allowed 2 weeks since receiving to review. I cannot express enough how glad I am that I bought this I was dubious about the price of electric litter boxes and did my research. This came out top of all the more realistically priced boxes. I have two young cats, one took to the litter box immediately one was terrified but after 3 days took to using it and hasnt looked back since. I helped her to transition by rewards treats and play going near the litter box then after a day stopped emptying the old litter box (stinky but worth it) and she opted for a cleaner toilet in the end. Dont rush this stage take time so cat doesn’t feel forced you dont want any accidents on the floor! The app works i havent had any issues at all and weighs my cats and i can add details and photos of them in the app so I know who used the toilet and when. The box itself is roomy enough for most cats and it is so quiet you hardly hear it. I can use ordinary composting bags or small pedal bin liners and hook handles underneath the bin so is very easy and cheap to replace the bags. I use a fine clumping well known cat litter and this works great. Odour wise it does a brilliant job of removing smells from the room obviously you are going to have some smell when in use but soon after when cycle clean kicks in the air is cleared. No more coming home from work to a stinking litter tray! I do choose to emty bin every day though as i have a strong sense of smell! I can honestly say this has changed my life and I am enjoying my cats to the full, they enjoy their litter box too and a constantly clean toilet. If you are thinking of buying one of these do not hesitate you won’t regret it!
