Another nice feature is UV sterilization. After scooping waste litter, the UV lights come on. This kills any bacteria which prevents the spread of infections. It also makes the whole thing very futuristic!

The manufacturer says it’ll self-clean for up to 10 days before you need to empty the bin. With Nico, we found 7-8 days was more accurate but we guess that will vary from cat to can.If you have a larger cat, or more than one cat, then have a look at the PetKit Pura Max Extra Large Automatic Litter Box. A noisy self-cleaning cat litter box isn’t only annoying, but it could also put your cat off using it. Also remember that, if given the choice, your cat will also use what’s familiar. Chances are, your cat will default to their old litter tray. If you leave their old tray un-scooped for a couple of days, they may choose to use their new, clean one. This is many people’s first consideration because, as we said, even the cheap ones are expensive. Especially when you compare them to a standard litter box.

It features the same ‘xSecure System’ to detect your cat’s presence, both inside and outside of the box. So, if the drum is part way through a cycle, it will stop. So, there’s never a worry about your cat getting trapped or hurt. Get your cat used to their new automatic litter box by placing it next to their old one. Putting in a few scoops of litter from their old litter box will help your cat recognise it as a new toilet. At 62cm wide, 53.8cm deep, and 55cm high, it’s bigger than the Pura X. The waste collection bin is bigger too.There are two main types of automatic litter boxes; Rotating cylinders and rakes. Both can look massive next to traditional litter trays. In the box, you get a power cord, adapter, waste bin liners, deodoriser and litter mat. As well as the unit itself. When you want to empty the litter box, all you have to do is push the cleaning button and it’ll empty itself. When cleaning it, we found it was easiest to remove the top, take the drum out and give it a wash.
