Hi!

So curious if anyone has any tips regarding this. We have our cat litter in the washroom of the house. The current cat sand we use has a distinct smell. While we are experimenting with different types of sand, they all, so far, have some sort of smell to them. Obviously it will also smell extra bad whenever the cats use the litter box. While we do remove the litter as soon as possible, we are curious if there are ways to at least mask the smell of the sand with something else… Anyone got any tips?

    Yeah I saw these ones, while they certainly look good - they are a little outside my budget right now.

    • It’s 100% worth it, though, as soon as you can afford it. I would recommend trying the Neakasa M1. I have never owned one, but I have had a Litter Robot 2 for several years, and while I love what it does, the quality kinda sucks. I’ve replaced numerous parts, had to debug, disassemble, and tighten parts, and it’s still pretty twitchy.

      Three M1 is quite a bit cheaper, and the design is fabulous - the enclosed design of Litter Robots can be off-putting to some cats; we currently have one cat who absolutely refuses to get in it (we think it’s because it reminds him of cat carriers and vet visits).

      I’d still recommend it to anyone who could put it on a charge card, because when it works (which is most of the time) it utterly eliminates odor, leaves an essentially fresh litterbox for the next cat, requires no scooping, and requires emptying once a week.

      I hate the QC on the Litter Robot; love the product. I’m excited to replace our LR with the Neakasa M1

        I’ve personally had better luck with the Litter Robot 4. We started with the 3 and had some issues with the bonnet getting “unseated”, among other things. The 4 has been more stable over the year we’ve had it. The base being narrower but taller lets us get away with an extra day of not emptying.
