Best Self-Cleaning Cat Litter Boxes – A Buyer's Guide

Self-cleaning litter boxes have become one of the most popular upgrades for cat owners who want to cut down on daily scooping. This guide covers what to look for and highlights our current pick.

What to Look For

• Sensors: Infrared sensors ensure the cleaning cycle only runs when your cat isn't inside.
• Waste drawer capacity: A larger drawer means less frequent emptying.
• Open vs. enclosed design: Open-top designs feel more welcoming to cats who dislike tight spaces; enclosed designs contain odor better.
• Noise level: Quieter motors mean less startled cats.
• App connectivity: Track usage, schedule cleaning cycles, and get notifications from your phone.
