Whisker reviews and discussion

SUPER fast shipping! I even got it delivered (free) on a SUNDAY! I am so glad I invested (yes, it's quite $$!) as we have gotten two kittens. I would like to note that I purchased the refurbished LR4 version as the price seemed even better to me, and most items I buy are refurbished. The reason I went with Whisker over others was because of the other reviews on ThingTesting and because it was one of the only Litter Robots that allowed me to keep using the litter me and the cats love -- Sustainably Yours (Large Grain)! I brought this home for our 2 kittens (Darth Vader and Lulu the Car) at age 4 months, and I will say that it was very hard for them to get up into it - so I did buy a ramp. One kitten took to it right away, the other kept going to the old stainless steel box... and after a week, they were both fine with it. They do get VERY curious when it runs a cycle - but, I welcome that because I want them to see how it works and not be afraid. The app is super wonderful. It doesn't always get it right for which kitten is using it simply because they weigh so close in weight ... but, I don't mind, I have a camera on it to watch as well. The cycles run really well, I use the sleep mode at night, and the kittens have started to only use the litter robot even though I have another litter box that is old school stainless steel. Back to the app - it is pretty good at telling me when to empty it, but it won't reset after you dump the bag of waste out until you run a new cycle - that's normal. The app lets me know when the use the toilet, which honestly - I appreciate because I still have trauma from sick cats not using litter boxes properly... so, this sets my mind at ease. The app also estimates the litter amount, and that has been really spot on as well. I included a couple images of the app here - as I haven't seen many pictures of the actual app in use and it's the thing I use the most... Next, and finally - I will say for two cats, this was absolutely the smart move - I went from scooping 3x a day - to 1 (if they ever occasionally use the old box) otherwise... none! NONE! That's amazing... and the smell is much better - which was the other concern for me. I'm glad I invested, and if you're on the fence - do the refurbished one - the warranty is still great, it works great, and I'm glad I made this investment.

A total gamechanger!! Similar to others reviews, I was hesitant because of the price, but it is 100% worth it. Not only do we not have to scoop litter anymore and can simply empty the tray once or twice a week, but it has greatly improved the smell after our cats do #2 because it immediately filters it away. If you're on the fence, just do it. Trust me.

We have had our Litter Robot 3 for almost 5 years, and we LOVE it. We saved for a while to get it, and once we had it for a week we were sad we didn’t get it sooner! We recently upgraded to the Litter Robot 4 and are excited to continue to use the product.

I’ve had the Litter-Robot 3 for quite a while, but as it aged, it started glitching. Between the known Pinch Sensor fault and the cat sensor becoming less sensitive—leading to having to manually press the cycle button more than I’d like—the "automatic" part of the box started to feel like a part-time job. It was great when it worked, but it required a fair amount of patience and troubleshooting. After one too many times of finding the robot stuck or realizing it hadn't cycled for half a day, I finally decided to upgrade to the Litter-Robot 4. I got it today and it's so pretty. Much more quiet. A little difficult to connect to my wifi. Not yet synching to the app. Hopefully it will work better for me!!

I bought a used litter robot 3 and loved it, so then I bought the litter robot 4 new & love it even more. I have 3 cats, so litter boxes were a pain and always seemed to smell. Since I got these 2 up & running, no more smell & I just empty the drawer once weekly! My app let's me know if there is problems or if the filters need to be changed. Honestly this litter box was a huge game changer. I'll never go back to a regular one. Obviously, the downfall is the cost. But omg is it worth it in the long run!!

Just do it. I saved for a year+ to buy the litter robot. Best thing I have ever done for myself and sanity. Just do it. Love my cats, but their litter boxes smell god awful. Save your money and then spend it all on this litter box. Works exactly as advertised. Everyone who knows me thinks I’m insane for buying a $700 litter box. Maybe I am. But I never have to scoop poop again, so I’m okay with being insane.
