What sets Whisker's automatic litter boxes apart
The main differences between Litter-Robot and other self-cleaning litter boxes come down to design, technology, reliability, and user experience. Here’s a closer look at what sets Litter-Robot apart:
The problem with traditional litter boxes.
- Scooping litter is not efficient. Nobody likes to spend time scooping cat poop. Unlike traditional litter boxes, Litter-Robot ensures that you never have to scoop cat litter again. The self-cleaning technology automatically removes the waste for you. You only need to empty the waste drawer when it’s full (you’ll be notified on the app or the unit control panel). With Litter-Robot, cleaning the litter box is as easy as taking out the trash!
- Frequent cleaning is required. Cat parents with back pain, arthritis, and other common ailments often find it difficult to bend and scoop traditional litter boxes. Especially on a daily basis, which is how often vets recommend cleaning a traditional box. These pain points multiply when you have multiple cats at home. Who wants to scoop four litter boxes every single day? A self-cleaning litter box like Litter-Robot eliminates the chore of scooping and gives your cats a clean place to go every time.
- Standard litter boxes are a smelly mess. Other common issues associated with traditional litter boxes include strong odors and messy litter tracked out of the box. With an automatic clean cycle, sealed waste drawer, odor-neutralizing accessories like OdorTrap™, and complimentary fence, Litter-Robot 4 drastically reduces or even eliminates odors as well as litter-related mess. And if you have dogs in the home, Litter-Robot will stop your pup’s icky habit of eating “treats” out of the litter box. It’s a win-win for everyone in the pet household!
