Same features as the Litter-Robot 5 Pro but at a higher price; better to buy directly from Whisker.

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.
