The Best For Apartments? The Quality Edit · reviewer

The Litter-Robot 5 has completely spoiled me (and my cat). Not only do I never have to scoop litter again, but it’s been a game-changer litter box for odor control and my room no longer lingers with the faint smell of dirty litter.

Everything was packaged well, assembly was simple, and honestly, it was exactly what I expected from a company that's been making automatic litter boxes for years. The Pet Libro Looma was similar. It had clean packaging, easy setup, and good instructions.

To me, the Litter-Robot 5 reworks nearly every part that used to take extra effort — and it’s clear the updates came from listening to real cat owners.

I love the Robo Kitty litter automated thing. Muffin, come on out. Come on, Muffin. Come on. Did you actually do anything in there? Uh, it looks like you just dug. So, cat's been in here for a minute. I don't know if this thing's on delay before it uh starts automating or maybe it's me measuring the cat's weight. We're just going to see what happens. Arrived today.

My LR is only 2.5 months old and the Laser Board is no good already. I’m so disappointed and frustrated. 😩 I work odd hours so I’m not often able to chat during Business Hours.
