Is the Litter Robot 4 worth it?

Are you tired of scooping litter multiple times a day? I didn’t think I was and actually didn’t mind it as a part of my routine, but… allow me to share about something that quickly changed my stubborn, kitty-loving mind.

The Litter Robot 4 promises to make cat care easier, cleaner, and more convenient. As a (MULTIPLE) cat owner myself, I know how time-consuming and unpleasant litter box maintenance can be. In this post, I’ll give you my honest, impromptu and unscripted review of the Litter Robot 4, covering its features, benefits, and whether it’s truly worth the investment.

Watch my video review below to find out if this self-cleaning litter box lives up to the hype!

What is the Litter Robot 4? The Litter Robot 4 is a state-of-the-art, automatic self-cleaning litter box designed to “make life easier” for cat owners. This high-tech device is admittedly *b o u g i e* to the max… It automatically sifts through your cat’s waste, separating clean litter from clumps and depositing the waste in a sealed drawer for easy disposal.

It has a clean, easy-to-use app that gives you arguably TMI about your cats potty habits and private time.

It looks like a fancy, space-like, open-faced snow globe tucked away in your closet or corner of the room.

As they say, “Gone are the days of daily [or, in our case, two to three times a day] scooping!”

Key Features of the Litter Robot 4:

  • Self-Cleaning Technology: The Litter Robot 4 uses a smart, automated system that activates after each use, ensuring your cat always has a clean place to go.

  • Large Waste Drawer: The Litter Robot 4 has a spacious waste drawer, reducing the frequency of emptying. With four kitties and two litter robots, I have to empty them about every 4-5 days… you guys. I used to have to clean our multiple litter boxes twice a day. THE TIME SAVED is beyond.

  • Sleek Design: It’s sleek and stylish, so it’ll blend seamlessly into any home decor. They even have different colored “marble finish” decals if simply having a solid white or black isn’t enough for your high-class aesthetic 💅🏻

  • Whisper-Quiet Operation: Unlike older models, this litter box operates with minimal noise, keeping your home peaceful. It legit sounds like soft ocean waves at night, which I can confirm as we literally live right next to the ocean.

  • App Connectivity: You can monitor and control the Litter Robot 4 remotely through its smartphone app, so you never have to worry about when it’s time to empty the drawer (I’ll be sharing a video going over the app in more detail soon!)

  • Multiple Cat-Friendly: The Litter Robot 4 can handle multiple cats with ease – they claim that one Litter Robot 4 is sufficient for up to FOUR feline fur babies – making it perfect for multi-cat households like mine. And I guess I’m now officially extra because we loved it so much, we got a SECOND Litter Robot 🫠

My Experience with the Litter Robot 4: If you can’t tell, I was skeptical. As I mention in the video, I tend to lean more on the frugal side of things… even scooping kitty litter. My strange, optimistic brain sees it more as added NEAT activity (you fitness-minded folk know what I’m talking about) rather than hours wasted on cleaning up after house lions and pocket panthers.

However, as much as it pains me to say it, after having not one but two Litters Robots… the dang things are worth the investment. SO. Worth it.

  • Pros:

    • TIME. SAVED. Especially with multiple cats. I just need to toss the bags when they’re full (and get notified when that is on the app), put a new bag in, and refill the litter when it’s getting low (which the app also notifies me of… BUT they have a new litter basin attachment to where you don’t even need to worry about that anymore!)

    • You make profiles for each cat and it tracks each individual weight, activity, and ultimately, helps track their health and habits.

    • VERY customizable – everything from a night light timer, to putting it in sleep mode certain hours, cycle timing (when it clears out after a cat has jumped out), and more.
    • EASY to set up, easy to navigate the app, and wonderful customer service.

  • Cons:

    • PRICE. First and foremost. Clearly, it ain’t cheap. (Thankfully, they do have interest-free payment plans.)

    • It *could* be bigger, or they could have a bigger option for the beefier breed kitties. My biggest fur babes are upwards of 15 lbs. and use it just fine, but who knows. If you have a crazy bobcat-sized Maine Coon, he or she maaay get body image issues from trying to comfortably poo in the dome.

How Does the Litter Robot 4 Compare to Other Self-Cleaning Litter Boxes? In the world of self-cleaning litter boxes, I can confidently say the Litter Robot 4 stands out. Personally, I’ve only tried the Litter Robot 4 against the Aimicat Automatic Litter Box and there truly is no comparison. I planned to make a comparison video between the two, but it almost doesn’t even seem fair to. That said, feel free to reach out if you want me to try or review another specific kind!

Is the Litter Robot 4 Worth the Investment? While the Litter Robot 4 does come with a higher price tag, the convenience and time-saving benefits are hard to overlook. For busy cat owners like me, especially in multi-cat households (like mine), AND if you tend to travel or have someone come watch your kitty from time to time, it’s an absolute game-changer. It seems unnecessary, but once you have one to experience how much time it saves… well, you convert to the bougie side. Clearly. I highly recommend it if you’re looking for a more efficient way to manage your cat’s litter box without the constant hassle.

The Litter Robot 4 has done just that. It’s efficient, easy to use, and definitely worth the investment for anyone tired of the daily litter box chore.
