Scooping cat litter isn’t hard, but scooping after each and every litter box use can get annoying. The Litter-Robot 4 self-cleaning litter box is worth considering, not just because it’s one of the best-performing models, but because its accessory bundle is currently available for $799 ($60 off) at Amazon and Best Buy. The last time this deal came around was in early January.
The accessories included at each retailer differ a bit. You’ll get the litter box and the mat that traps litter pieces in the bundles from both stores, but Amazon includes three OdorTrap cartridges, 10 liners, 30 wipes, and two carbon filters. Meanwhile, Best Buy includes six OdorTrap cartridges, 25 liners, and 30 wipes.
Even at a discounted price, I won’t pretend the Litter-Robot 4 is affordable. However, I thought its perks were attractive enough to buy one for our two large cats. After a few days, they got accustomed to using it, and I loved all the extra time each day not spent hunching over the litter box to scoop out their buried treasure.
I ended up returning it after a month, but not because I was dissatisfied. Rather, for a weird edge case reason that’s kind of gross. One of my cats peed high enough up the Litter-Robot’s inner wall that it got stuck between the layers, causing a serious stench. Customer service was great, and I was able to get my money back.
