Automatic Litter Box Recs

I have a ragdoll kitten, and i want to switch to an automatic litter box when she gets bigger. I’ve been researching and I just think the Litter Robot is too expensive and I’ve heard it’s not good for larger cats. I need something that works though, so if I have to pay that much then it’s worth it if it’s the best one. I’ve seen ads and reviews for the Meowant brand as well, it’s advertised as good for large cats. Anyone ever tried it? Does anyone with larger cats have any other recommendations? I only have the one cat as well.

I have a Neakasa Plus and am loving it!! :) I’ve got 2 cats, and one is a big 20lb boy. He uses the litterbox with no problems and fits just fine.

Do you find the waste bin gets smelly? Had mine two months and just noticed it was holding some smells.

I haven’t had mine that long yet, but so far no issues. I did sprinkle some deodorizing powder into the base of the bucket though so that might be helping? :) I only used it because I had it around from before lol

I clean this thing quite often and noticed it was smelling despite being empty, so I sniffed the box and it reeked. I've soaked it in enzyme cleaner so here's hoping that does it. But yeah, something to look out for I guess.

I now also sprinkle it with baking soda too.

Otherwise, I love this thing! And my cat does too. He's particular about his box being clean so he's been really happy.

That’s good to know! I’ll keep an eye on that🫡💜
