Getting one for Christmas present for my 2 furry creatures. I am so happy I found your video. I made a rough math calculation and this thing pays itself off in about a year. I change and clean out litter box weekly at $12 x 4 is about $46 a month plus bags. Plus no scooping again ever!!!

[@Floppycats]

Love it - yes, so many people have told me that it pays for itself in about a year - but love how you calculated it! I would definitely recommend following Litter-Robot's instructions on how to introduce your cats to the LR3 - that's the biggest mistake cat owners make when they get it - so excited to turn it on that they freak out their cats from the get go.

[@braxtonvestal777]

How much is your litter running these days?

[@Simba.Luna.]

I loved the Litter Robot 3. But I had to return it because it wouldn’t work, only because my cat would not get out of it. She loved going in there and just chill in there. So I just returned it. She’s older now. I might give it another try.

[@Floppycats]

ha ha ha - that's interesting. i wonder why she did that - does she not do that with a regular litterbox?

[@rebeccaplank9013]

Thank you so much for creating this video. We’ve had our litter robot for 13 years and it has been the best investment we’ve ever made. We’re having some issues with our older cat peeing and pooping outside of the litter boxout and are looking to invest in a third unit, since we currently have three cats. I learned two new things about the litter robot I didn’t already know from your video. The litter line, which we’ve just been guessing this whole time. Second, the lubricate I’m sure I’ve cleaned off years ago. Plus introducing your cat to a new box. Thanks for the tips.

[@Floppycats]

[@UserWalterbe]

@@Floppycats Well, because you asked; have you discovered a compatible litter that is organic based? Non clay / sodium bentonite? I am now using wood pellets. I know those are absolutely not suitable for the robot. But the are made of a waste product from the timber industry. The cat litter recommended for the Liter robot comes from strip mining. That is problematic ethically. - Thanks!

[@Floppycats]

@@UserWalterbe sorry, no, i do not. i, unfortunately, use the strip mining sort. there are readers that use world's best cat litter successfully. of course, since it's an organic material, it will smell faster in the waste drawer because of the enclosed humidity - so you have to empty the waste drawer more often.

[@craigmiller8902]

This was an excellent review. I think we will purchase a LR3. One model costs around $500 or less, but another model costs more than $600. Don’t know what the difference is. That’s the kind of marketing baloney I hate. But your review was spot on! Thanks!

[@Floppycats]

Hey Craig, I can probably point out the differences between the two for you. I am thinking one is the regular one without WiFi and the other is with WiFi. Right now they are having Litter Robot's Mother's Day Bundle Deal - bit.ly/3nvtZCo - you save $50 on that. Yes, marketing - but they only offer those "deals" around major holidays. So that one includes the Litter-Robot 3 Connect (the $500 one), plus (1) Ramp, (1) Fence, (100) Waste Drawer Liners, (3) Carbon Filters (Ramp, Fence, Waste Drawer Liners and Carbon Filters are $130 by themselves) and 36-month warranty ($49) for $628 (instead of $679). If you purchase through our link, you save an additional $25 - making it $603.99. You definitely want the waste drawer liners and carbon filters. I like the ramp and fence - especially the ramp - helps to collect litter scatter and will help my cats as they age. And a longer warranty ain't too bad either.

[@CyanSkies]

THANK YOU so much for this super informative video!!! Well done! I just got frustrated with my daughter not cleaning our regular kitty litter box and googled the best automated boxes and found the LR3 and then your video. It's super pricey but in the end it will save me money and time as my two cats are 2 & 3 years old and hopefully they'll be around for a very long time.

Thanks for your awesome videos and reviews - Always A++. Your video showing the deep clean is excellent and will help tremendously when I go to clean mine in next couple weeks. Have had my LR3 Air Connect (same as your space gray one) for a little over 3 months and it has been an absolute life saver with 2 cats. One thing I found with litter is the Scoop Away 42 lb kit that has the 4 separate bags (10.5 lbs each) is that one bag is the exact amount to bring it up to the litter line. I tried the Arm & Hammer Slide which worked better to keep the interior of the globe cleaner but the odor control was the worst I had ever found.

[@laurahoffman4991]

To reduce smell coming from the tray, I recently added mesh pouches of Zeolite And Carbon. The Zeolite is an ammonia remover. Works fantastic! Wish i would have found out about this sooner. When I introduced my cats to the Litter Robot, my x was convinced we could reduce the three cats to the one litter robot without a transition period. Well, one cat didn't agree and peed on him in our bed. We added back an old litter box and over the next few weeks she adapted to the litter robot. Now she uses it exclusively, but we kept the other box just incase. The only issue we have is that the cats like to spray just above the litter line. It's actually easier to manage then when they do this in the regular box since they can't spray as high. I just wipe it down once a day.

[@Floppycats]

oh yes, i was so pumped when i was told i could remove the internal shield! here's the video where i did that - kzbin.info/www/bejne/laGvgpuugKibpsk - now the LR3s don't come with the internal shield - they figured out that it wasn't necessary. it is very expensive - shipping has to be a lot (which is covered in the cost - there's no such thing as "free shipping" - then there's the price for paying all of their employees, advertising dollars, marketing dollars, manufacturing expenses, etc)

1. I've had one for maybe 6 years. The last 2 years it's largely been inoperative. You can make it cycle manually but there's a big plastic flap that falls down from the upper left (inside the thing) and prevents proper operation. 2. Also, I'd like a video that shows EXACTLY how to take the thing apart to work on it. The manual covers everything pretty well but lacks good illustrations. 3. Also, where did you get that big tray on the front of your white unit (in this video) ? 4. We have 2 cats - do they EACH need their OWN? One used to be an enthusiastic "user" than abruptly quit & now refuses to use it! Other than these Q's, I WAS originally quite pleased with the unit, once you get over the hump of the initial price.

I am on my third (count them 3) LitterRobot which has stopped functioning properly after about 5 years. When I spoke with customer service, they basically said this is “expected.” WWHHHAATTT? So, I bought $500 litter boxes 3x in 11 years? So basically my litterbox alone (not cleaning, not maintenance, not supplies... just the BOX) is going to cost me $100 a year. I have been a huge loyal fan of LR--and love them. But to find out that the company basically knows that the life expectancy is about 5 years, and says N-O-T-H-I-N-G about this (and clearly has not fixed this life expectancy issue in the 3 version I’ve had--LR 1, LR 2 and LR 3 open air (w/o wifi) is pretty much criminal to me. It’s one thing to buy a $500 litterbox once. It’s a whole other thing to do it 3x in 11 years. There is no question that they are WONDERS... I love mine... but to find out that its “expected” to start falling apart in 3-5 years (that was what the customer services rep shared “3-5” so essentially I’ve been pretty lucky when they last 5 years) is really disappointing. I will say that many people have had theirs last longer... so I am not saying they all break down... but out of 3, I have, after a couple of years, had to remove the back “key” and the inner “shield” in each, and had either motor or parts need replacement. Still, I love them. But this seems excessive. I know it’s delicate electronics, but if my car can work for 10-20 years and my appliances can, I think the $500 litter box should be able to!

It does stop (and sends me a message about interruption), so it's very safe. I have had a problem with the 'Bonnet Removed' messages from time to time - most notably when the nightlight is on (and, really, who needs that light? The cats certainly don't *g*) or if the kitten has decided to jump on top of it (why?). But all in all, I think this is an amazing product and well worth the expense. Loved your video too.

I'm debating getting the litter robot, but I'm curious how big of a difference the connect vs standard has. Since you have both, can you tell me which you prefer and the reasons?

[@Floppycats]

Just off the top of my head - both function in the same way - cat goes in, does it's business, it cycles and it's ready for the next use. If you are going to have the LR3 in a place you don't see every day, then the Connect will be better because it will tell you if the LR is full, has issues, etc. But if you have the regular one, and it'll be in an area you walk by every day, then you can always just look at it to make sure everything is OK - basically if the blue light is on, you're good to go. Connect helps you know more without having to be present. Also, Connect will tell you how frequently it's being used - so if your kitty has a UTI or something, that might be an indication and you wouldn't get that with the standard one. Does that make sense? Have you had a chance to look at the differences on their website? bit.ly/3nvtZCo What are you trying to decide about them? Can I answer more specific questions?

it's subjective on how often you take out the bag with the waste in it (bottom tray) - ours is once/week - some are more often - just depends on number of cats, their diet, how often they use it, etc. odor control is with their carbon filters - we change those every 6 months or so - or when they have outlasted their use.

Since you've owned them for a few years now, have you noticed any lingering smells even after a thorough cleaning? I've read that cat pee odor is easily absorbed by plastic, so I typically buy a new litter pan about once a year. Of course, I'd want several years of use out of a $500 litter box. I just wonder if you notice any lingering ammonia-like smell after a couple years.

[@Floppycats]

no, i haven't - but i also clean mine regularly - deep cleaning after 6 months or so - and replace the carbon filter (which is where the most of the odor is for us), which for me has been essential. yes, on plastic litterbox - this one isn't really plastic on the bottom, though, like classic litterboxes. this one is a thick rubber on the bottom. and it's clumping litter, so the clumps drop below and don't stay in the actual litterbox for that long. does that help answer it?

Thank you for the tips and info. I'm thinking of getting one because one of my 6 has been pooping and occasionally peeing on the floor (I work at a vet, she doesn't have stones, etc). I think that a different style letterbox and litter may help. So here is my question - I do have an Android - do you still recommend the 3 Connect over the older model? I am fine with occasional connection problems since I will have other letterboxes as backup and I check my boxes 2x day and scoop them. Another review elsewhere said they didn't think it was worth the $ over the non-connected. Thoughts?

[@Floppycats]

sorry to hear about 1 of your 6 - that's always frustrating when they do that. i don't ever recommend anything - learned that long ago - i can't morally because every cat and every owner is different. what i can do is share my experiences and then let people decide on their own, if it will work for them. with that said, the whether or not to get the LR3 with or without connect is based on your needs. Connect helps you know when it is full, how often it is being used, if it's not cycling, etc. However, if you are like me, you're always checking it - since mine are on my way to my laundry - I always look to make sure they are in working order and cycling, etc. and since i have more than just the LRs, I wouldn't be able to accurately keep track about how often it is being used and by which cat. so the connect for me isn't really necessary. Here's our video on the connect that might help with your decision - kzbin.info/www/bejne/mneUl6iri72hZ6s - the connect stuff starts at about 12 minutes. And for the litterbox peeing and pooping outside the box, you might check out these pages on our site to see if anything resonates with you (and be sure to read the comments too!) www.floppycats.com/cat-peeing-outside-of-the-litter-box.html and www.floppycats.com/cat-pooping-outside-of-the-litter-box.html - please let me know what you decide to do =)

Our 15yr old cats have had the litter robot since they were kittens. They are mostly wet food now and the clumps are big and the door needs cleanout nearly every day instead of every week, Anyhow, we use the same litter. I now mix senior cat crystals which helps keep the lumps from getting big and sticking to the base and ceiling. Note using 100% crystals does not work. But a mix of the two works well. Also I think as the rubber base gets old it becomes less flexible and wont drop down like its suppose to. Solution is to add more weight to the back side. There is a metal disc weight on the other side of the rubber base.

[@Floppycats]

Absolutely agree with you with following kitty introduction to the Litter-Robot. We have senior kitties which all 4 had zero issues getting familiar with the LR. They started off with the LR2 Classic, the 2nd LR we got was the LR2 bubble. The difference is the bubble has clear plexi glass (see through) portion of the globe. Moved on to Open Air LR3 & a LR3 connect. The older models still work great but the LR3 has a larger entrance & is quieter when cycling. I'm so happy I saw your video.
