Improved Litter-Robot Design

October 2004

APCP is committed to continuously improving the Litter-Robot to make your life as a cat owner easier and to provide you with the best self-cleaning litter box available on the market.

The latest version of the Litter-Robot has a brand new Cat Sensor.  Adjusting the Cat Sensor sensitivity is now much easier and does not require any tools.  Also, the Cat Sensor is now protected against dirt and contamination to ensure trouble free operation.

Another product improvement is the new anti-pinch feature to give you even more confidence that the Litter-Robot has been designed with your cat's safety in mind.

If you have any questions about these new features, please contact us.

New & Improved Litter-Robot Features

February 2001

Automated Pet Care Products, Inc. is committed to offering the best, automated litterbox on the market. Due to this commitment we have made the following improvements:

• Control Panel Lockout Feature
  • This feature prevents children or your pet from pressing the buttons and cycling the unit unnecessarily. However, it will allow the unit to function normally in the automatic mode.
• Alternative Screen
  • Our customers use a variety of litters. To accommodate these preferences we are now offering an alternative screen that will allow use of World's Best Cat Litter™ (corn based clumping litter) and Litter Pearls™ (silica beads).
• Warranty
  • We have extended the warranty to 18 months.
• Wait Time
  • Wait-time before cycling has been shortened from 15 minutes to 7 minutes. The purpose of the reduced time is to accommodate households with multiple cats. This will ensure that each cat has a clean litter bed when needed.

The Litter-Robot self cleaning litter box makes its debut

April 7-9, 2000

Litter-Robot™ makes its debut at America's Family Pet Expo in Pomona, California. Thousands of pet lovers get their first glimpse of the space age litter box. Designed and manufactured by Automated Pet Care Products, Inc. in Pontiac, Michigan, Litter-Robot™ is a long way from home for its first appearance. Demonstration after demonstration turns expressions of confusion, wonder, and disbelief into smiles saying "ah hah!". The unique spherical design elicits descriptions such as "out of this world!", "looks like a cement mixer!", and "looks so ugly its cute!". Brad Baxter of Automated Pet Care Products explains, "Its looks are a result of all the functional requirements. We didn't decide it should look like a gum ball machine, it just happened in the process of trying to meet all of the criteria we had defined for the product."
