[@jenniferandleigh4478]

I just used your promo code to buy a Litter-Robot 4! Hopefully it is worth it. Thank you :)

[@dm285]

I have 3 rescue cats and I found CLUMP AND SEAL to be amazing product. It really makes cleaning the litter box much easier, quicker and helps keep odors low. The downside is that it is one of the most expensive litter materials one can buy per pound....but I have not found a product cheaper that works as well as this Arm and Hammer product personally.

[@MelloYelloMushroom]

I agree it has been the best litter for me as well.

[@lukas______]

About to get our first car (other than childhood pets). We were planning to use pine pellets that we usually use for our rabbit and a Purina Breeze system. Have you tried this?

[@ashtoneastwood9467]

i agree, you couldn’t give me any other kind for free. i love the arm and hammer.

[@ExpansiveReviews]

Omg thanks for sharing!! This is so good to know

[@mistyjomay6272]

Agreed! I have 2 cats and the Clump & Seal is the best litter I have ever used. Expensive, but well worth it!

[@CatsCrazyWorld]

I have 2 cats. Missy a 2 year old and Greyson a 10+ year old. Greyson came with a Litter Robot. I am so Grateful for this product. At various times in my life I had owned plus 20 cats and sure needed one! I didn't even need instructions to assemble it. It's that easy to figure out!! Thank You for inventing the Litter Bot. Missy is transfized by the thing!!!

[@ExpansiveReviews]

Missy and Greyson sound like lucky sweet cats. Glad it helps! Unfortunately I didn’t invent it but so happy that it exists

[@keyshlataylor9103]

The 13 gallon bags can go over the inside back wall of the waste collector, and it can be clipped in the two front clips. We do that and it works great.

For real! I’ve gotten an offer to review another brands litter box and I don’t feel comfortable doing that when I know I wouldn’t buy the product myself. It doesn’t feel right to advise or endorse other people getting one.

That’s awesome!! Congrats on getting one. You’ll love the no scoop life! 😊

[@JohnGibeau-l2m]

I've had the model 3 for almost 3 years now. Their warranty is top notch. Had a problem about 2-3 months in and after going through the troubleshooting steps with them, they determined the base needed to be replaced. They shipped the replacement base with a prepaid label to return the defective base unit. I would recommend you get the extended warranty; it is well worth it. They allow you to order repair parts up until the warranty ends (circuit board, motor, rubber liner...). I've ordered several parts that needed to be swapped out and all shipped totally free. We have 4 cats in the house, and this is well worth it. I have just been waiting to pull the trigger on a model 4 and this video may have tipped the scales for me.

[@georgegarvey7338]

After your review, I'm going to get the 4. Thanks for the information.

[@ExpansiveReviews]

Congrats! 🥳 Enjoy!

[@kadiecarter7469]

Thanks for showing the 4 upclose. I have asked on their forums, asked customer service etc if the liner wraps on the outside like it does with the 3 and could not get an answer. My cat scratches the liner on the side of the 3 and wanted to see if the 4 got rid of that flaw

[@ExpansiveReviews]

Glad I could help!

[@AS-ov9dh]

We put a liner in the base. Just a dollar tree liner for cat litter boxes. Then we use the Kirkland transparent bin bags for medium cans and that is enough to catch all the litter and it’s what we replace weekly. There’s never spillage but incase there is, we have the liner in place for protection.

[@ExpansiveReviews]

That's such a good idea! I'm going to start doing that just in case.

[@jimmellenberger8505]

I'm on the cusp of adding one of the Litter Robots. My cats already use two Omega Paws rolling boxes, which are definitely better than scooping all the time, but going to an automated box will be easier for me, and them, I think. I've been automating a lot of my home, lately, and managing switches and lighting have worked so well, I'm looking forward to managing this task, as well. For dirty jobs, they make disposable plastic sleeves to keep your arm from contacting the rim of things like the LR3, if you wanted that type of thing.

[@ExpansiveReviews]

The omega paws are pretty nifty and don’t break the bank like these little robot but the automation is really convenient. Thanks for the disposable sleeve tip!

[@gallonofpcp7954]

Don’t do it. These thing have constant issues and the company dines not stand by their product

My complaint is ghe anti-pinch mechanism. It flaked out and o repaired it a few times. Now it just flashes the yellow fault light after reset - no matter what. It's toast and that's VERY irritating due to the amount of service we gave ours (3/wifi)

[@rarespiritwendy]

Nice review! I’m glad to know about the guard in the front. My guy loves to pee right inside the front of the Bot 3. I had the same problem with the litter Bot 3…finding a clump in the middle of the freshly cycled litter. After my cat would pee (not poop) the bot would cycle, but there would be a clump stuck to the bottom of the liner. As it rotated through the cleaning cycle, the clump of litter would stick to the liner and was now on the “ceiling” of the inside..hanging but not falling off…and the liner would be hanging down too. The clump would then fall onto the newly sifted litter, winding up right in the middle, on top of the freshly cleaned litter bed. I found that decreasing the time setting between the cat exiting and the bot cleaning helped a bit. Less time for the clump to dry and adhere. I have to say that this only started happening after I had my Litter Robot 3 for almost 2 1/2 years. I think, as you may have said, the liner becomes more porous over time, absorbs liquids and stays wet longer…leading to “danglers.” I’ve bought the litter bot 4 and am settling it up now. I was thinking of replacing the old liner in the 3 but that seems like quite a project. 🤷🏻‍♀️ If anyone else has had this problem and replaced a liner, could they please share if it made a difference with the litter sticking? I want to keep both of the litter Bots as I’m going to be getting another cat soon. Ty!

[@ExpansiveReviews]

That’s totally what was happening! Thanks for helping me solve that mystery! I haven’t replaced a liner so I don’t know what goes into that but litter robot has a video showing how to do it. It looks like a little bit of work but I think it’s worth it! Good luck, you got this! 🍀

[@TheBrightenDay]

Thank you so much! Like you I have the 4 and a couple years older 3-thats yellow lighting and malfunctioning often lately and currently no matter what I’ve tried it just isn’t functioning anymore. Going to get another 4. It really is so helpful not scooping every day and the 4 really is less gross to take the bags out and put back in. The 4 really is much quieter and for some reason cuter. Now you can get colored front circles on the 4 too ⭕️ 💜

[@jeanlouise905]

I bought a Litter Robot 4 in Sept ‘23, and found it is an amazing product. I did my research in reading reviews, on all makes, pro/cons and found that the litter robot 4 was the best, even though it’s a bit pricey. I just received a second Litter Robot 4 and set it up, and I am very satisfied. I do have an issue with connecting the 2nd to the app, it’s set up, but not finding it. So, I am not able to monitor which cat goes in and out. Anyone have any answers, would be helpful. We love it, I still have two litter boxes in the catio, but it cuts down on daily cat box duty

[@ExpansiveReviews]

You probably already tried putting it in set up mode since you know how it works. That’s so strange. I’m sure if you hop on Whisker’s customer support they’ll help you out with that. Wishing you good luck! (It’s so cool that you have a catio!)

[@MeganRook-lr1vl]

I am about to take the leap into a self-cleaning litter box. I am torn between the Litter Robot 4 and trying the Meowant SC02. There is a huge price point difference and I'm wondering if the features of the 4 are worth several hundred above the Meowant. Have you ever tried anything besides the Litter Robots?

[@TKittymom]

The main thing holding me back is price. is it worth $700+? They sometimes have sales for a $1000 bundle but I'm not sure I can afford a litter box that costs several hundred dollars.

[@AbbyMckracken]

Im REALLY glad you mentioned that the litter dust gets kicked up with rotation cuz my cat, Jack, has asthma and Im trying to reduce/eliminate dust. Even with a 99% dust free option there is still dust when I pour fresh litter in and I try to keep him out of that room till the air purifier can do its job. I will need to explore 100% dust free litters before making the investment in LR4. Grateful for your review so I can do THAT research and experimenting before such a massive investment.

[@ExpansiveReviews]

Oh my goodness I’m so glad you are doing the research for Jack to be healthy and happy 😊 Jack is lucky to have you!

[@onmyjourney5858]

Which litter have you decided to stick with?

I actually started using Dr. Elsey's cat litter. It's really similar to the Litter Robot litter with the big granules and less dust but it's more cost effective.

[@cherylmcnutt9905]

Thank you for this comparison. Would appreciate you listing the challenges with the 4 and how you combat them, please.

I really haven’t had that many issues with the 4. Everyone’s experiences are different though.

[@ds99]

I will look for the 4. Can you tell us your most favorite litter that you use?

[@emankarns]

Is this an older model because there is a shield for 4 that comes with the machine which prevents litter from being kicked out. Both my cat and I are very happy with LR4.

[@ExpansiveReviews]

Maybe it is a slightly older version. That’s good that they have that now

[@CatherineShaw-qo6ev]

I purchased a litter robot 3 connect two months ago and had issues with litter getting into the plastic piece at the top of the globe with the sifter. I had to take it off when I was trying to empty the globe because it collected so much. I also had a lot of issues. I returned it, but I’m thinking about purchasing a litter robot 4. Does it have that issue? Does it have any of the litter robot 3 connect issues?

[@ExpansiveReviews]

I’m sorry to hear that you had so many issues with the 3. The 4 was a lot better for me but I’d hate for you to have another bad experience. The 4 feels a lot different from the 3, it’s definitely an upgrade in every way.

[@itsmesassy88]

I had the 3 for close to 2-3 years and then it finally died. The anti-pinch thing is so annoying and is the cause. Got new parts and still nothing. However the 4 seems to have corrected the bin issue but the anti-pinch sensor hopefully isn’t an issue.

[@thewinterizzy]

Thanks for this, I’ve had the original 3 for… it has to be at least 10 years old??? It’s had its issues from time to time but recently something is wrong with it nearly every day and now it won’t even complete a cycle, forever stuck on red. I have to manually spin it back around. I’ve done all the troubleshooting I can that’s fixed it in the past and other online resources suggest it may finally just be dead beyond repair. I hate how expensive the 4 is but considering the one I have lasted a decade… Probably worth the investment. Sigh!! Anyway, appreciate the help in deciding!

[@ExpansiveReviews]

Woah! 10 years is not a bad run for the original 3. Hopefully the 4 will last even longer if/when you decide to get it!

[@johnjenkins1546]

Stick with the 3 . I'm in the process of trying to return my liter robot 4 in exchange for a 3. My other litter robot 3 has been flawless.. .. the 4 has major urine issues where the urine gets underneath the globe and into the crevices and totally stinks.. I cannot stand it anymore..... It's just a very terrible design. It's no wonder why they added the splash shield as an afterthought...... But it has been totally ineffective for me. I'm done with this machine.

[@laural5177]

I like Joy Ultra Micro Crystals Premium Cat Litter, Fragrance Free. There's no dust or clumping.

[@blh-rr9fu]

I've had a Litter Robot 3, for 4 years. It just died and I'm not fixing or replacing it and here's why. 1. It would occasionally get stuck in a position where there was no litter exposed, and the cat would be forced to make other arrangements. For that reason alone, I had a regular litter box as a back up, which he'd also use, so it kind of defeats the purpose. 2. Dust. Enclosed box's with a flap/door really keep the dust down in a room. There's no door on a Litter Robot, so every time it cycles, several times a day, it's generating dust, lot's of dust that was accumulating on everything in the room. 3. The max time to wait before it cycles is 15 minutes. That's not enough time for the litter to absorb all the stink, and the tray underneath emits a smell I've never had with a traditional litter box. It's a nasty odor. Even with the charcoal insert. I really wanted to like it, but I'm back to a fully enclosed box with a door. No dust, no stink, no malfunctions.

I use cheap Amazon 10 gallon bags in two litter robot 4s. They are longer than optimum but easy to install with my method. They easily slip over the back of the drawer and I use 3 bendy foam curlers to secure the bag neatly and securely. Use a 5/8” to wedge the top of drawstring bag into front lip groove of the waste drawer. It’s a nice snug fit. Use 1/2 inch rollovers immediately adjacent to each end of the fatter roller. Form the rollers to fit by folder down an into pseudo question mar shape to match the groove as it travels down, under and up on bottom of waste drawer. Position the bag a bit to have it congorn ti inner surface of the drawer and slide the drawer back in. When full remove the tray and then the curlers and just roll the top to the back of the tray and lift. The litter naturall falls to the bag bottom- I spin the bag and knot it by you can use the drawstring if you prefer. Reinstall the new bag and the rollers ( the small ones will not require much effort now that they in the right shape to fit. Tuck them all snugly and slip the drawer back into your robot 4. Occasionally I notice small perforations from sliding in and out but generally they are of no consequence once you knot the bag ( below where they normally occur). Ps I see the name Besli on my bag box but it’s just one of generic Amazon brands They seem to be sturdy enough for this purpose. I have 9 cats, two robot 4s in use a couple of manuals as backups. I also have 4 retired robot 3s sitting in the garage. I still have to messy with the robots periodically but infinitely better than the robot 3 -our cats found ways to spray pee through the back-and they had many other major flaws corrected by the 4s. Still require some effort and ingenuity ocasiinally but best system yet and cheap to use after initial expense. I had my own custom insert to use small almost free bags but it was no where near as convenient or quick to maintain the 3s.
