Title: She is stunning!
Review: This is the best thing I have ever bought in my whole life. I feel changed by this litter box. I didn’t even hate scooping that much before but now I can never go back to the manual scoop and sift lifestyle. Ok I still have a traditional box upstairs for my former feral weirdo cat who is afraid of everything. So it’s just way way less scooping than before and with 3 cats I have a true appreciation for this amazing robot. How does it do it you ask? I don’t have a clue and that’s part of the magic. Pros: pretty much all of the whole thing 1. Easy assembly-snap em legs on and plug er in with some litter 2. Has an app-it’s an ok app but it works for what I need 3. Looks epic 4. It’s open on top instead of domed so my big fat grey cat has plenty of room to make her 1s and 2s without any accidents 5. Ok this is the part you won’t believe but the litter mat actually kind of works. Sometimes litter goes scattering but it’s so much less compared to my other box experiences 6. You can just use Dr Elseys regular type cat litter which I’m probs spelling wrong but it’s my favorite 7. It mostly gets rid of the smell. My cats -2 of the 3 make real stinkers. And this takes that smell from like 100% gross to 10% gross. Truly makes me want to shed tears of joy 8. It seems like it follows the do no harm rule of robots and is very good about sensing if they are in front or in the box and the box won’t move as long as it senses them. Ok that’s enough. It’s so great. So so so so great.Cons: now this may not specifically have to do with the new litter box but my weirdo former feral cat did urinate on my brand new memory foam bean bag -also just a great product. It was like $115 and 6 for round and is like sleeping on a cloud. Turns out it’s pretty waterproof and the cover washed up great. Did Wren pee on my bean bag cause her new litter box looks like a space ship? Only Wren knows the answer to that.

Title: Safe and Effective
Review: I got our neakasa for our kitten when he was 3 months old with a step stool and he took to it almost immediately! We’ve had it for almost 2 months now and we no longer need his “manual” box since he uses his neakasa 100% of the time.My favorite feature is the safety, honestly. My kitty loves to watch it go and will jump in it and stick his dumb little head in it while it’s turning and it always stops immediately. It’s so reassuring because we can’t watch our cats 24/7 but I know if I’m not home or sleeping that he won’t be hurt by his neakasa. The only time you have to be cognizant is when it’s manually reset by completely unplugging and plugging it back in bc the sensor is resetting and might not see him, but that’s it. I really trust the neakasa not to hurt our kitty.It’s super quiet, was assembled in 5 minutes, cleans effectively, saves me on litter, and the app lets me track how often he’s using the bathroom which is good for tracking if anything is wrong.The small downsides are things that would be a downside of a lot of boxes, sometimes he pees close to the edge of the silicone so I have to wipe the edge and silicone more often. But a small price to pay for never ever scooping.Obviously you have to clean the inside of a litter box that isn’t meant to be disposable. I use a pet cleaner and it takes 5 minutes. It’s so easy to empty all the litter at once with one button so if you want to clean the inside without dumping all your expensive cat litter every week it’s simple (I swap all the litter every 3ish weeks since it stays really clean with the neakasa).The app could be a bit more refined, but overall I like it.Lastly, the concave bottom works nicely since our kitty loves to dig and the concave bottom keeps the litter from spilling and keeps him from digging straight to the bottom.

Title: Perfect. Worth every penny, even their bags.
Review: UPDATE: it started to say the bag wasn’t in place and than all heck broke loose and all the lights started flashing and it wouldn’t clean. I’m on day 5 of no litter box (this one) it replaced about 6/7 of my litter boxes so this is a pain in the butt. BUT customer service was very quick to answer and send me over the broken part to replace. We will see how fast it comes. Still five stars, just a little annoyed at myself for removing so many normal litter boxes and only counting on an electric one.Only took two days to receive new bottom replacement piece so that was wonderful. Customer service is great and I will still be buying another one but I will be keeping a few litter boxes still.ORIGINAL:I have ten cats. So I have ten litter boxes that I clean twice a day. I’ve researching these for a while now and came to the conclusion that this is the best of the best for my cats. The Prime day deal on this was way too amazing to pass up. My cats took to it immediately. They aren’t even touching their normal ones anymore. So I just keep up with the litter which I add some every morning and switch the bag as well every morning. I could go a day or two longer without switching I’m sure but I have no interest in the smell and I have enough cats that luckily I’m not wasting bags. There is zero smell. I ordered a shark pet odor air purifier (again CRAZY deal on that too!), it hasn’t showed up yet and honestly I’m not even worried about it. The litter boxes are up stairs in a room with ventilation and this box is under the stairs in a play closet set up for the cats, which is in my living room (I thought for sure I’d be moving it upstairs to the litter box room because I can not stand the smell of litter) and it doesn’t smell. I also use Tidy Cats free & clean. Best litter I have ever used. You literally can not tell I have cats. So that litter with this box is top notch. I will be eventually ordering two more.I forgot to add that the app is really great too. It will let you know if there is enough litter in the box. How full the litter bin is. You can set it up to your liking. It tells you how long your cat was in there for and how much you cat weighs You can make a profile for each cat so it tracks their potty habits. I have too many cats to sit here and set that up.****Update after three days of owning this, all 10 cats pretty much only use this. With 10 cats I change the bin every 24 hrs because it is full. As stated above, I hope to eventually purchase at least two more.Update***** it’s now next month. And yes, I am dedicated to letting people know what’s up lol. This is the best. I take it apart once a month to give it a good scrub. The things where all the litter goes, those unscrew so that you can get a great clean on this thing. Also as it’s cleaning the box, I like to take a rag to it as it’s cleaning itself because I’ve noticed ‘stuff’ can get on it. I’m still obsessed. As are my cats. I’ve been able to remove five normal litter boxes from upstairs. They barely use the five up there anymore. They’re OBSESSED with this box. I really need to get another one. Worth absolutely every single penny and could not possibly be a happier 10 kittie owner household.UPDATE: I’ve had this for a few months now and it is amazing. I take it apart and wash it twice a month, I change the bag everyday (I have to with so many) and still no smell. I never had to move the litter box from the main floor because I can’t smell it. My cats all still love it. I do recommend only using their bags. I tried a garbage bag when I ran out and you can then smell the dirty litter. So their bags are worth every penny in my opinion. I still plan to purchase two more in the future.

Review: I just want everyone to know that this is the best robot cat litter box of all time. Unfortunately, I need to return it, but that's strictly because my cat is not good with litter boxes. Trust me, it’s not due to any fault with the robot—she makes a mess with even the most basic litter boxes.I’m sharing this to say that even though it didn’t work out for me, I highly recommend this product. It’s an amazing and beautifully designed litter robot. The app works perfectly, it cleans exceptionally well, and it’s incredibly convenient. I highly recommend it, even though it didn’t work out for me personally (I really wish it had).

Review: We have two cats, and previously had two huge, uncovered, clean litterboxes for our flat. One of our cats is extremely picky, so we had to scoop after every single poop, even if only one litterbox was used. This meant that, while we were at work, if either pooped in a litterbox, this cat would pee all over the floor 2 hours later because he was mad at his own single poop from 2 hours ago. This litterbox has changed our lives.I did a lot of research on self-cleaning litterboxes before buying this. I had a spreadsheet and am fairly confident I researched every single major brand and option on the market, so I felt confident about this one. It's safe to say I don't regret it.Both of our cats took to this day one with few issues. Our picky cat is very large (nearly 6kg) and we were concerned about the size, but he doesn't care at all and has no trouble using it. I was also concerned about the safety for our tiny, very curious cat (about 2.5kg), but this thing is brilliant. It stops the cleaning cycle the second she so much as glances at it, so she quickly loses interest and she's always safe. It has no trouble detecting her very tiny paws on the edge, not even in the box directly.This thing cleans well. It has handled diarrhea with no issues. Use a high quality, fast clumping litter (we've been using World's Best Cat Litter - cannot recommend it enough). It's not as good as I've seen others say at handling smells, so I recommend throwing in some bicarbonate into the waste collection tray to help.Addressing some issues I've seen:-Frequency of changing the collection bag: This is true. The collection tray does not hold as much as they claim. That being said, honestly cats don't want you to leave it for that long, and changing the waste collection bag once every 5ish days (for two cats, one of which pees a lot) is still way better than scooping poop by hand 3x/day. It's also a fairly painless process.-Set up: This is also true, the set up was a nightmare and to get it to work we had to not only split out our 2.4Hz and 5Hz signals, we had to change the name and password of the 2.4 so it didn't have any symbols. Annoying but ultimately a one-time bother.-Waste getting stuck to the inside of leaking through the gaps: Neither has ever happened to us, could be an issue of using low-quality litter. Also, they provide extreme high-quality, strong silicone tap as an extra preventative measure for the leaking, so definitely use them.-The cleaning cycle wastes too much litter: This is the complete opposite for us. We were shocked at how LITTLE it's been using, we've been going through way less than our manual scooping since we don't need to change it as often! I think this might also be an issue of using lower-quality litter.-App not tracking usage: We've never had this problem. We set up a camera for the first few days (I was nervous about the safety for our smaller cat), and not only did it record every single usage, it even recorded when they were just sniffing around for 10 seconds or so. The only problem I've noticed is that the weight sensor, while generally accurate, isn't perfect - it fluctuates up to 0.5kg every day. This isn't really a problem for us as our cats are about 3kg apart, so it can always tell who they are, but I'm not sure it would work that well if your cats are the same weight. But this is a feature I'm personally not too fussed about.-Not being able to look at your cat(s)'s bowel movements daily (for health monitoring) - I genuinely don't understand this one. Yes, there is a feature where you can seal the waste bag without looking at it, but just don't use that then? If you want to check on this, just open the waste tray daily and take a quick glance, you'll be able to see everything. Totally a non-issue, I promise.Overall, this is cheaper and safer than other models, and better for a cat evolutionarily than enclosed styles. We love it so far and can't recommend it enough.

Review: Nachdem ich die Neakasa M1 selbstreinigende Katzentoilette nun seit einigen Tagen benutze, möchte ich meine ausführlichen Eindrücke teilen, insbesondere da ich eine 16 Jahre alte Katze habe, die sehr eigen und anspruchsvoll ist. Meine Katze würde nie zwei Mal eine Katzentoilette benutzen wenn diese vorher benutzt und noch nicht gereinigt worden ist. Darum hatten wir bis jetzt zwei Katzentoiletten, damit immer eine sauber ist und unser Kater sein Geschäft machen kann. Wenn beide Katzentoiletten benutzt waren, war das ein Problem. Und das ist nun vorbei, die Neakasa M1 hat unser Leben so vereinfacht. Die Selbstreinigung ist ein Traum. Unser Kater war zuerst ein wenig zurückhaltend, aber nach kurzer Zeit hat er Neakasa M1angenommen.Die Selbstreinigungsfunktion der Neakasa M1 ist super und erleichtert uns die Reinigung enorm. Die Zeiten, in denen ich die Katzentoilette manuell reinigen musste, gehören der Vergangenheit an. Der Abfall wird in einem Beutel gesammelt, der einfach vor der Entnahme, verschlossen wird. Dann entnimmt man den verschlossenen Beutel und ersetzt ihn durch einen leeren. Gerüche gehören der Vergangenheit an!Da wir beide berufstätig sind ist das großen Fassungsvermögen für Abfall und Katzenstreu ideal. Die Katzentoilette kann bis zu 14 Tage ohne Wartung betrieben werden, so steht es in der Bedienungsanleitung. Meine 16-jähriger Kater kann problemlos die Toilette nutzen. Ich kann mir vorstellen, dass Haushalte mit mehreren Katzen ist die M1 ebenfalls hervorragend geeignet ist.Wenn die M1 sich gerade reinigt und der Kater nähert sich, wird die Reinigung unterbrochen und die M1 bleibt stehen. Damit kann nichts passieren und wir machen uns keine Sorgen um unseren alten Kater.Es gibt eine App mit der man die M1 überwachen und steuern kann, wenn man mal nicht zu Hause ist. Ich finds praktisch, man kann nachsehen ob noch genügend Streu vorhanden ist und beim Einkauf schnell nachsehen ob man nachkaufen muss.Vor der Neakasa M1 liegt eine weiche Matte die hilft die Wohnung sauber zu halten. Streu der an den Pfoten hängen bleibt, bleibt in diese Matte die einfach zu reinigen istDie Neakasa M1 selbstreinigende Katzentoilette hat meine Erwartungen übertroffen und ist eine hervorragende Wahl für Katzenbesitzer, insbesondere solche mit älteren und anspruchsvollen Katzen. Sie bietet Komfort, Hygiene, Sicherheit und ist äußerst benutzerfreundlich.. Ich kann dieses Produkt uneingeschränkt empfehlen und bin begeistert von den vielen Vorteilen, die es bietet.

Review: What is good about this is the wide area for my cat to enter.. Only need to change the bag every two weeks. I do however add baking soda into the waste bin often. I’ve had it for months and love it for making my life easier. Also the Singapore dealer is highly knowledgeable and supportive.Only thing is the warranty in Singapore is a year but in the UK it’s two years. The discrepancy I don’t understand..
