Automatic litter boxes have a reputation, and it comes from early models that could start a cycle with a cat still inside. That is the whole reason to care about the sensor count on one of these, and it is why we chose this one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt uses \u003cstrong\u003efour gravity sensors\u003c\/strong\u003e rather than one, backed by infrared detection, intelligent activity monitoring and a delayed-cleaning timer. Four weight sensors means the box knows a cat is present from any position on the tray, not just dead centre. The delay means it will not begin the moment your cat steps off, so a cat that hops out and straight back in is not caught mid-cycle. And the child lock stops a toddler or a curious cat starting a cycle by pressing a button.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe practical gain is a week or more without scooping. Waste is separated and dropped into a bag inside the drum, sealed away from the room, so the smell goes with it rather than sitting in a tray. For a multi-cat house, where a tray needs scooping twice a day to stay usable, that is the difference between a chore and a non-issue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe app is more useful than it sounds. It logs \u003cstrong\u003eweight and visit frequency\u003c\/strong\u003e for each use — and changes in how often a cat uses the tray, or a quiet drop in weight, are among the earliest signs of kidney or urinary problems in cats. You are not diagnosing anything, but you will notice a change weeks before you would have spotted it otherwise. It runs on the Smart Life app over 2.4GHz wi-fi.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFour honest things.\u003c\/strong\u003e It takes most litters — tofu, bentonite, sodium-based and mixed — but \u003cstrong\u003enot crystal litter\u003c\/strong\u003e, so if that is what you use you would have to switch. The bags are a consumable at 45 x 50cm, which is an ongoing cost. At 48 x 52 x 50.5cm and 7.6kg it is a substantial piece of kit that needs a proper spot, not a corner of the bathroom. And we would not put a young kitten in one: these boxes work on weight and movement detection, and a kitten too light to trigger the sensors reliably should stay on an ordinary tray until they have grown.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCleans automatically after each use, waste sealed into a bag inside the drum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFour gravity sensors, infrared detection, activity monitoring and delayed cleaning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChild lock on the controls\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e9 litre litter capacity — a week or more between refills\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApp logs weight and visit frequency for each cat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrum lifts out without tools and is fully washable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin:20px 0;border:1px solid #E6DAC7;border-radius:14px;overflow:hidden;background:#FFFFFF;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"background:#2A3A2A;padding:14px 18px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0;font-size:12px;letter-spacing:0.12em;text-transform:uppercase;color:#D9B48C;\"\u003ePawbrio product guide\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:4px 0 0;font-size:18px;font-weight:600;color:#FAF6EF;\"\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"overflow-x:auto;\"\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;font-size:14px;table-layout:auto;\"\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr style=\"background:#F1E7D8;color:#2A3A2A;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;padding:10px 12px;\"\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;padding:10px 12px;\"\u003eInfo\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background:#FFFFFF;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px 12px;font-weight:700;color:#A6764C;border-top:1px solid #EFE6D8;\"\u003eSize\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px 12px;border-top:1px solid #EFE6D8;\"\u003e48L x 52W x 50.5H cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background:#FAF6EF;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px 12px;font-weight:700;color:#A6764C;border-top:1px solid #EFE6D8;\"\u003eLitter capacity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px 12px;border-top:1px solid #EFE6D8;\"\u003e9 litres\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background:#FFFFFF;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px 12px;font-weight:700;color:#A6764C;border-top:1px solid #EFE6D8;\"\u003eSafety\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px 12px;border-top:1px solid #EFE6D8;\"\u003e4 gravity sensors, infrared, delay, child lock\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background:#FAF6EF;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px 12px;font-weight:700;color:#A6764C;border-top:1px solid #EFE6D8;\"\u003eApp\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px 12px;border-top:1px solid #EFE6D8;\"\u003eSmart Life, 2.4GHz wi-fi\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background:#FFFFFF;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px 12px;font-weight:700;color:#A6764C;border-top:1px solid #EFE6D8;\"\u003eLitter types\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px 12px;border-top:1px solid #EFE6D8;\"\u003eMost — but not crystal\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background:#FAF6EF;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px 12px;font-weight:700;color:#A6764C;border-top:1px solid #EFE6D8;\"\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px 12px;border-top:1px solid #EFE6D8;\"\u003e7.6kg, no assembly needed\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"padding:14px 18px;background:#FAF6EF;border-top:1px solid #E6DAC7;font-size:14px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong style=\"color:#2A3A2A;\"\u003eSwitching your cat over:\u003c\/strong\u003e Do not take the old tray away.

Stand it on a hard, level floor with clear space around the drum, and against a wall so it cannot rock. Connect it to your 2.4GHz wi-fi through the Smart Life app before you add litter; if your router shows a single combined network, split the bands in its settings, which is the step that catches most people out. Fill to the marked line with a compatible litter and fit a bag in the drum. Then leave the cleaning switched off for the first week while your cat gets used to it, as above.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eUsing it safely\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKeep the child lock on in a house with young children. Do not use crystal litter. Do not let a kitten use it until they are heavy enough to trigger the sensors reliably — an ordinary tray until then. Never start a cycle manually without checking the drum is empty of cat first, however many sensors it has. Keep the power cable out of reach of a chewer, and unplug it before you take the drum out to wash. If your cat stops using it, go back to a tray and try again more slowly rather than leaving them with nowhere acceptable to go — a cat holding on causes real urinary problems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCare guide\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChange the waste bag every few days; sealed or not, a full bag will start to smell. Lift the drum out — no tools needed — and wash it fully every two to four weeks with hot water and mild soap, drying it completely before refitting, because damp litter clumps and jams the sifting. Wipe the sensors clean when you do, as dust on an infrared sensor is the usual cause of erratic behaviour. Top the litter back to the line after each empty rather than letting it run low.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDelivery \u0026amp; returns\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFree tracked UK delivery on every Pawbrio order.
