Pet parenting can be a dirty job. One of the most dreaded chores? Litter box duty. No matter how tidy your cat or how clumpy your litter, no one looks forward to scooping. But it has to be done—and regularly. In fact, some finicky felines will even boycott boxes that aren’t up to their standards. That’s why we love self-cleaning litter boxes.
By automatically scooping messes in a waste drawer after “business” wraps up, an automatic cat litter box reduces odors, eliminates the need for daily cleaning, and keeps everyone (humans and cats alike) happy. All you have to do is empty the waste drawer.
There are a number of robotic litter boxes on the market these days, with varying high-tech features and amenities. These are the best self-cleaning litter boxes, based on Chewy customer reviews, customer ratings, sales and expert input.

Real hit with the kitties
I was aprehensive about whether or not the kitties would use the litter robot. Especially since one of them is 13 1/2 years old. The baby is about 1 1/2 years old. But they both love it and they love to watch it do the clean cycle. So far it has worked flawlessly. And I love the notifications sent to my phone. If the kitties interrupt the clean cycle I can turn off the litter robot and turn it back on again to complete the clean cycle all from my phone. Pretty cool!

Very convenient
This litter robot is so clever. Once our cats (kittens) figured out how to use this and we set the recycling timer to a longer interval, this item worked like a charm!

Hallelujah!!!! Best Letterbox EVER!!!!! EVER!!!!
We have several cats. Somehow, the litterbox cleaning duty has become my sole responsibility. Like you, I find it to be a highly unpleasant experience. Until now. I saw this litterbox on tv and requested it as a birthday gift. I know that's weird-- but so be it. Anyhoo, my request was granted, and shortly thereafter a large box arrived on my doorstep. With cautious optimism, I unpacked the litterbox. Let me just say. Set up was super easy, and my cats took to it immediately. I LOVE....so many things about this litter box! In no particular order, here they are: 1. The litterbox is so efficient in the way that it uses and disposes or cat...

Worth the money
We wished we would have purchased a long time ago. Two cats, lasts about 15 days. Easy cleanup, no order, cats transitioned right to it. Good deal.

Best Gift ever
I gave a Scoopfree Box to my niece as a gift and it changed her life. She always wanted to adopt a 2nd kitty and this helped her do it. She loves never having to scoop and I love how great her apartment smells now!

Truly A Game Changer
I’m notoriously lazy when it comes to cleaning up the cat litter and needed a solution. This is it. The crystal cat litter bags I buy (I’m trying out different ones currently) last about a month ($18-20) and my fussy cat who likes a clean box to go in hasn’t misbehaved since we installed this. The cleanup is easier than traditional clumping litter and so far I haven’t run into troubleshooting issues. I thought my older cat would take longer to adjust to it but she picked up on it quickly. The cord is a good length, which I appreciate. I would recommend buying the reusable tray. Even priced ridiculously, it does save you in the long...

Best Purchase of 2022 !!!!!!!
I love this auto-cat litter box. My daughter recommended it, and now I am! It saves me so much time. No more scooping the poop, no more heavy tubs of cat litter, no dust, no smell. Most importantly, my cat uses it and says she loves it!!

LOVE this litter box
We have it in a closet in our entry way and there is no ongoing smell. You can tell right when she uses it but then the smell is gone. It is so nice not to have to worry about cleaning it every day.

Story of The Creature of Habit and the OCD Diva
It took 10 days to get my cats to start using this. It was total refusal, their litter box was DISGUSTING, so I went cold turkey with them, took the old litter box out, and they started using it with no problem. I should have ignored all the warnings and instructions, and just swapped out the darn thing with the old one like I always do when I change litter boxes. But all those warnings gave me visions of cat pee on the carpet, so I tried the method of easing into things. I think that was a big mistake in my case. Personally, I'd recommend going cold turkey when you make the switch if you've done it successfully before. ...I looked at...

Smarty Pear is very helpful
I highly suggest getting this automated litter box. I ran into some difficulties with the exclamation point not coming off after a few months but reached out to Smarty Pear after registering my device on the website. The team sent me new sensors and a shim kit to fix the problem with instructions. Since replacing the pieces, the device is working great again. I love the customer support team around this litter box.

Easy life upgrade
When my wife wanted to buy a Leo’s Loo, I was skeptical and it really didn't seem like it would be a life changing decision, but you don’t realize how much time you spend scooping and cleaning your cat’s litter box until your litter box does it for you. And you don’t realize how messy maintaining a litter box is until keeping it clean is automatic. We have a Leo’s Loo and also bought the newer one too and they both are doing their job. The cleaning process is very quiet and emptying it is a breeze. We have one placed upstairs and another out in the open in our living room. You can’t hear or smell them and they’re nice looking...

Why did I wait so long?
I love this box. My 3 kids have used it for a week. Only had 2 problems. The first was getting the kids to understand it is not a toy to play in. Second watching it go around does not require jumping back in for a ride. I can not believe I waited so long to get this product. Planning on getting another one, well worth the price.

Great service!
I bought one of these and it had issues. So, I contacted customer support, via message, at 10 pm and told them what happened with the new littermaid. I didn't think it would go anywhere, since that has been my experience in the past with offer suppliers. To my surprise, within 10 minutes, I had a reply and a new replacement was on it's way!! A week later, and new one here, I'm still in shock!! Thank you Chewy!!

Rake motor purrs
We just got a second cat, so we needed a second box. I’ve been using LitterMaid litter boxes for decades, and I am a huge fan. With each new model, the motor gets much quieter and smoother. I especially like this model has a rubber cover over the power switch, in case the cat misses. These boxes really make cleanup so much easier than traditional boxes.

Great product!
Does what it says and does it well. I empty it every three days for two cats and scrape in case a little was stuck and wipe off dust. Tried a couple of litters. The one that almost gone caused clumps to be on the sticky side and heavier. The one I'm using now seems to work great and there never is a bad smell as the liter takes care of that. The liter you use seems to be key. I have two cats, both are picky about using a not yet cleaned litter box, so now rather than needing to clean two boxes twice a day I clean one every three days. Totally worth the price for me. I really wanted one that did not need to buy expensive litter...
