NEAKASA M1 Self-Cleaning Litter Box Review

[@OneManFiveCats]

My beloved Bertie, the chief tester, passed away on the 14th October, a month before his 18th birthday. I am devastated; he was the most wonderful, loving, gorgeous, funny and gentle companion you could ever ask for. His beautiful twin brother Percy is still very sick, and his grieving is heartbreaking. He hasn't meowed since Bertie died and was, until then, the loudest, most vocal cat I've ever known. I’ve been nursing him 24/7 and he’s doing OK. All the cats got sick from an E.Coli outbreak in their urine. Because of this, they shed the feline herpes virus. It's been a terrible time, and the vet bills have been utterly crippling. Some very kind people set up a GoFundMe to help me cover the bills to date and the ones to come. If you can help at all, I would be eternally grateful. Thank you. gofund.me/1991562c

[@DeadboneBob]

We got an M1 about a month ago, we love it! Using a lightweight clumping litter (the same stuff we used in their boxes) 4 cats can go 3-4 days before needing to empty. Easy to clean the exterior. Doing a full empty and cleaning today-we'll see how it goes.

I hope Bertie is doing better. Sending him some love. ❤ Your cat box videos are amazingly helpful. I use 4 different auto litterboxes and the M1 is mine and my cats' favorite. I also have 7, but most of mine rescued from Bahrain. Archie looks ans acts like my last Bahrain rescue, Mistal; also a similar adoption story to Archie. Keep up the videos, me and my fur babies love them.

[@i3ai3oman]

ive got to knew you through charlies channel, i also use M1 for over an year. i am so glad my automatic litter box is safe. thank you very much!

[@TheRuckWitch]

So helpful! This was the review that finally clinched the purchase after researching for a while. I would have gotten a Litter Robot but couldn't get it delivered in Mexico but I'm extremely happy with the Neakasa so far. I have been Team Breeze ever since they came out because I hate litter tracking. I finally snapped with an insane job and 2 cats/3 boxes. I ordered the M1 Lite because I wanted a white box. The brush seal worked perfectly to trap odors. I did end up getting the ramp and a rubber litter trapping mat plus 3 bath mats which is probably overkill but I haven't had any issues with litter escaping the 2nd bathroom. Thank you for doing these videos.

[@BonJourTami]

I have been researching self-cleaning litter boxes for about two weeks now and have been struggling to determine which one I should get. I just wanted to stop by and thank you for your honest and in-depth review of so many options that are out there! I had been leaning towards the Neakasa M1 and the Litter Robot 4; So your recent videos have definitely given me a better scope of the "boxes" and has given me more confidence once I make my decision and purchase one. Long story short, thank you so much for these review videos! :)

[@rafaelalba0910]

@bonJourTami which one did you go with!??

[@thirstonhowellthebird]

Meowant off Wayfair! Trust me, you will not regret it! Best litter box ever made.

[@davidm326]

Thanks for these reviews, very helpful. Following your earlier videos we originally bought a Litter Robot 4 for our four cats. The LR4 is a good product but it is not perfect. Deep cleaning is needed as litter and dust gets inside, but when you take it apart there are wires and sensors everywhere so cleaning needs care. Plus, the carbon filters don’t really work so you end up buying their odor pads. These work but in Europe they are super-expensive. However, the biggest problem was our largest cat found it claustrophobic and started to pee outside it, not good! So, we bought a Neakasa M1 (weird name). This solved our pee problem as that cat is happier with the open design, and the other cats are fine with it also. There is no odor problem and since it doesn’t have filters or pads it is way cheaper to run than the LR4. I also have the impression it uses less litter though I haven’t confirmed that. It is relatively easy to clean, takes me half the time for the LR4. Minor problems have been small clumps of litter getting stuck to the outside somehow (no clue why) and falling off behind the machine when it rotates but otherwise fine. Like the LR4 the grids that separate clean from dirty liter are also hard to clean behind, they should be made detachable on both machines. Overall, Neakasa is the better machine and half the price of the LR4, which makes for less concern over the availability of spare parts, although if something breaks and can’t be fixed it is clearly not good for the brand longer-term, so they need to provide spare parts.

I like that it's open and has a large waste bin. It's almost purrrfect. I would like for the Litter part to be larger or for a larger option to be available because my cat is the size of a medium dog, he needs a lot of space. Also, as you mentioned, for that price I would want to be able to purchase an extended warranty. Thanks for your review. Great production quality and thorough analysis 🤗🐈

Thanks a lot for your videos, last one we've picked because of your help was Petkit Pura Max, now for the second litter box i'm actually thinking about this Neakasa M1. Good thing it's available in my region. I was thinking about Litter Robot 4, but it's not shipped to where i live at. Overall we have Petkit Pura Max for about a year now and it proofed itself very nice and comfortable, since our cats are using it proper way, so there were no any leaks. If anyone have any questions about Pura Max - feel free to ask, i have plenty of experience with this one.

Thank you for this great review ... bought one because it was very convincing, that it was just what I needed as addition to my petkit pura max which I find great. Now every cat hast what he likes best. My 17y old granddad prefers the closed solitude of the pura max, so he can poop without anyone jumping in his neck. My big 7kg boy has the open top where he can turn easily and the youngsters change frequently depending on mood. Hugs and love to you, Percy and the rest in this difficult time

@@nomennescio7571 Sorry .... I guess 😉... it all comes down to personal preference. I really really love how quiet the pura max is. I have it for a nearly a year now and no leak issues whatsoever, but it is an little cramped inside. My oldie loves it for the solitude. And I love the the neakasa for the open top so my big boy can turn and for the huge trash drawer. No leakage here as well ... both toilets with front center peeer ... but it's quit a mess around it as they jump out with a big leap.

Thank for this review. I have not used one yet. Been looking at different kinds. I have big Maincoon's and just reacued a Bengal cat. The inclosed ones just look to small. This one may be worth it. As well with my health. Bending or squating down is getting harder. To keep scooping. I know the standard though is boxes are always low on ground hidden somewhere in the house. But why not make one on a stand. A ramp up, so easier for older cats. And older people who love cats. ❤️ I like this style the best. Thank you for honest review.

lol! What a wonderful and informative review!! And your cats are delightful!! I was an early automatic litter box adopter in the 1990’s … the versions with the plastic, rectangular catch bin that also took a plastic bag. They were OK, and I kept them running with some repairs and replacement bits until about 2015 when they finally surrendered. I researched and bought a Neakasa about a month ago. A bit of a high tariff? Yes. But the cats love it and use it and so far the maintenance is easy, simple, and so far no issues. I’ll keep watching!!

[@Joshinnator]

Thanks for another thorough review. Cant thank you enough for your litter robot 4 recommendation. Been using it for about year now and love it still! Also, best wishes for Bertie

[@Imperfectioninaction]

Got an ad for this and immediately came here to see if you'd reviewed it yet. Currently have a Leo's Loo Too. My boys like it, but the girl still prefers a traditional litter box that I have to clean myself. When she does use the Loo she tends to poop out the front door. This looks like a potential solution that she might like. Will have to save up, but looking forward to trying it. Thanks for all your great reviews and I hope Bertie is better soon!

[@RobertRobert-u4f]

Great review…I like this open design. Hopefully this will with the updates this will be an extraordinary automatic litter box. It might become the next best litter box.

[@mooglily]

This may be the one I get in replacement of my Litter Robot 3 It’s cheaper than the LR4 (as of right now) & I think the open nature of it will make it easier for me to clean. I live in a small apartment & my LR is shoved into a coat closet behind a living chair. The cats are fine with the placement, but getting the huge LR out of there to do a deep clean has been so challenging. The fact that I can just access the sides of this machine & lift it up off the base is very appealing to me!

[@ariela8134]

The Neakasa was my first automated litter box and I think I like it more than the litter robot 3. On amazon they have coupons for $100 off sometimes. And yeah The neakasa is easier for me to clean IMO, the texture of the machine is sort of a matte texture and its more sleek so less crevices than the LR 3 (I found a black widow hiding in one of the crevices on the bottom of my LR 3!). I think the only thing Id suggest is getting a Low Dust clay litter since the cloud of clay dust isn't really contained as well as the LR 3.

Eventually I replaced it with a lower model of the same brand, it does not feature a trap door, just a hole into the waste tray.

[@autumn_vasch]

Your catio is always such an inspiration. One day I hope to have something similarly lovely for our cats. Thank you as ever for the review. Glad companies are reaching out to you now so you can give them feedback! I always wonder how these perform with grass litter, as nothing on earth could make me give up my grass/walnut mix (I just buy them separately and mix them about one to one, gives a good mix of odor control, grass has amazing clumping but is too light without the walnut for me). But i also only have one cat to care for so just manually scooping daily isn't a big deal.

[@OneManFiveCats]

Thank you. I covered it in the previous video. I didn’t go into super detail, just the main things. It’s fine but the machine is too big and not a huge amount of space inside for them really. Plus the scales are very innacutate. The litter tracking and the easy cleaning of the drum are the best bite. It’s over priced though. It doesn’t leak and if they pee out of the entrance then they pee onto the litter tracking bit inside it.

Thank you. I can’t answer that for you as I don’t know what your cats are like. If they are ok with enclosed spaces etc. Not a huge fan of the Pet Snowy as it’s so big but the space for the cat is small and it’s all very enclosed.

The app is a bit shit to be honest cuz the weight sensors can be off, but I only have one cat currently so there’s no confusion on who’s using it and I have a camera facing it so I can keep an eye on Varda and whoever else I add to the pack. Like she allegedly gained 3 lbs in one day??? But I do appreciate how I can run a cycle and flatten without going up to the machine. I know I’m a little late, but hope y’all are enjoying yours!

I actually backed this one on Indigogo. I got it specifically for my big boy who is skittish with the covered Litter Robot 4. However, he still won't use it. My other three cats use both regularly. Sigh...

This looks like a winner to me, thanks for your automatic litter box reveiws ❤

[@philipbloom]

Why is it the winner?

[@NadineBurnes]

@@philipbloom for many reasons, mostly because it is easy to clean and doesnt smear poo when doing a cleaning cycle, and it looks better than the others, and has an open top. I have watched reviews of automatic cat litter devices for days and it seems like the best one to me.

[@philipbloom]

@@NadineBurnes this is good but I highlight a number of issues in this review. The “smearing of poo” is no different in this than most others. It happens if the consistency isn’t very solid, where they do, the type of litter and especially the cycle delay length.

[@NadineBurnes]

@@philipbloom in the comparison video with the litter robot 4 it was far cleaner and easier to clean, and i like the design better also

[@philipbloom]

@@NadineBurnes FYI, I am One Man Five Cats. The Neakasa is easier to spot clean as it’s open. Doesn’t mean by design it will stay cleaner on it own. I see people complaining about the LR4 being dirty when the reason that’s the case is people aren’t keeping it clean. It needs wiping as and when. If you had a streaky human toilet you would use a brush on it rather than just leave it for the next streak, right? 🙃

[@tbissonnette1835]

Would you be willing to contact Pawbb to review their machine. That one looks quite nice but not sure how well its built. I like the design of the Neakasa but will wait for the M2 in white!

[@OneManFiveCats]

The wooden front one?

[@martinhansen4381]

Thank you for the great videos. Maybe you could make a video about litter box mats. My cat drags cat litter far from the box. The mat I bought isn't that good.

[@OneManFiveCats]

Thank you. I don’t think I can do a whole video on them. I frequently don’t even use them as they are a pain and just get my robot vacuum to do a circuit every night or when needed.

Why is the FB group private? Would be nice if the information and discussions there were open for everyone to see, including people that don't have or want an FB account.

Thank you so much for your videos. U give such detailed reviews of cat products, I always look forward to your next video. I fo hope your sick cat recovers from kidney disease. I know what it's like cause one my cats is going through it too. As u being the sole caretaker for all your cats, what was it like introducing them to each other? I have 2 senior cats and 2 kittens, and I find it difficult to introduce the kittens to my older cats. There are tricks but it's most difficult when it's one person taking care of them

[@thelostremainunfound]

I'm curious, how much litter do you go through with 7 cats? I have only my 11yo girl and her litter box, high sided, regular plastic litter box where I can forget about it for a few days and there is still not much to clean up (though she likes to pee in two very specific spots so it could also a illusion of less to clean. That said it takes like 20lbs (~9.1kg) to fill up the box to a good depth so I buy 40lbs (~18.1kg) bags and find myself either adding a little after a few scooping sessions or waiting until the litter level gets to the lower end and just chucking the whole batch. Usually I can make a bag go about 2 months, 3 months if I am being really lazy about full litter changes. I imagine though that with 7 cats there is a lot of litter and a lot of topping off. Hopefully the question isn't one you've answered a dozen times before and I've missed it but I am curious given the level of waste production that many indoor cats would result in. Good video as always, even though I'm not in the market for a self cleaning I do enjoy seeing you review them and learning about all the interesting ways people have tried to remove the least favorite chore when it comes to cat ownership.

[@OneManFiveCats]

I have no idea the actual amount. It’s a lot!

[@melissaash4528]

I have 3 cats. I have no idea how much litter they go through, but with the LR4, I've never dumped the entire batch, it's just not needed. That alone saves SO much litter. As you said, it takes about 20 pounds to fill a standard box, which is about 20 pounds wasted every time you chuck the whole batch, compared to the LR4. Because the robot scoops itself several times a day, the clean litter doesn't have a chance to develop an odor.

[@Sparrowlicious-01]

Huh. I think I saw the Skiathos cats online, listed as in need for rescue. I'm a first time cat parent so I in the end went with a small private rescue in the area that puts a lot of heart and hard work into taking care of the cats and finding them new homes. Not to say that other rescues don't do the same but, you know how it is, since you are a first hand rescuer.

[@batmanhattan]

Wonderful review

[@AqueousTurtle]

Thank you for creating this video! I have a 13lb tom that pees like a racehorse (and the clumps are huge!). I hope this litterbox will work 😅
