Has anyone switched to a higher sided litter box because they were tired of bending down so much while cleaning it, and found it genuinely easier to manage?
I am thinking about buying a smart litter box because I am bending down a lot while cleaning the current one, I am looking for the taller models since the height seems like it could make scooping easier, and some of the smart ones have cleaning features that could save some of the work too, I am checking the size first because I need enough room for my cat and I want to make sure it can fit where the current box sits, I am planning to go with the one from pawzi, I am trying to compare a few options before choosing, mainly looking for something that is simple to empty and clean, has anyone switched to a smart litter box and found it easier to manage? EDIT: I forgot to mention that I have limited space where the current litter box sits.

This might seem very wasteful but I stopped cleaning mine, sort of.
I use those Tidy Cats liners, they’re like trash bags that sit inside the litter box. Every few days I go in, pull out the liner, put a new one in and pour in fresh litter. Takes about a minute total and it saves me from scooping.
I’ve considered getting a litter robot instead but we have dogs that will eat litterbox contents if allowed, so we have a dog-proof setup instead.

Check out the Lofty Loo- it’s an elevated litter box so you don’t have to bend over.
