Extremely expensive luxury price for a poor quality robot that barely works, and as time goes on it breaks down more and more. NOT WORTH THE PRICE AT ALL.

Overall

Overall, it works very well. I would recommend using the litter made by Whisker, otherwise it seems to stick to the bottom of the litter robot. It is nice not needing to scoop every day, but the bags need to be changed around once a week and the moisture in there creates mold sometimes. We just use baking soda at the base, and it seems to prevent this.

Hi Rose!

Thank you for taking the time to write this honest review. We're happy to hear that the Litter-Robot has been appreciated in your household. We're happy to hear that you were able to resolve the issue with mold in your unit. Something that can cause this is if your Litter-Robot is kept in an area of high moisture/humidity. This can cause all sorts of issues with the internal components, with a higher chance of condensation buildup that can cause strong odors and corrosion of nearby components. If it continues to be an issue, we suggest moving your unit to an area with a lower humidity/a climate controlled area. Thank you again for your review and for being a part of the Whisker Family!

Exactly as advertised.

I placed the order and it came with sufficient instructions and it works as advertised. Fortunately, I've had no issues. I love the litter feeder with the litter box. I can completely forget about litter anything for a week at a time. The effort I put in weekly is less than the effort I was spending daily. Expensive, but I feel like it's worth it to me and my two kitties.

It is a great litter box for cats…

It is a great litter box for cats however we had to slowly train our 5 year old cat. Do not change the cat litter. If it is compatible then keep it with the model litter robot but if not then slowly change the litter not immediately because your cat, if picky, will not get used to it immediately. Other then that, the system works and my cat loves it after 1 month.

Best Cat Focused Brand

I recently ordered the Litter-Robot and couldn’t be happier with the entire experience from start to finish. The shipping was incredibly fast, it arrived sooner than expected. When I had quick setup questions their customer service team was super fast. Whisker has clearly built a brand and products that are second to none, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to cat owners looking for a smarter litter scooping solution!

"FSA eligible"? Of course not

I was suckered in by the "FSA eligible" marketing, which seems good at first glance: why not use pre-tax money that's already been withheld from your paycheck to pay for something that'll make your life easier?

They partner with a company called Sika to get a doctor to write you a "letter of medical necessity" so your FSA administrator will approve the purchase. Well, mine denied the purchase, even though Sika's "doctor" said it would help me avoid back pain.

I had to contact Whisker myself to arrange the return because their online form wanted me to pay $60 in shipping to return the unopened device. Then, two weeks after they received the returned item, I had to contact them again to process the refund to my FSA card. This meant I was unable to use my FSA card for a total of about 5 weeks.

I have no opinion about the product itself, but the company needs to back off this "FSA eligible" nonsense.

Hello Ryan,


We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused and understand how this can be frustrating. Receiving an LMN (Letter of Medical Necessity) is not the same as having an LMN approved. If your symptoms don’t meet the requirements, the provider may deny your LMN. In that case, you won’t be able to use HSA/FSA funds, but you can still purchase the product using a different payment method. If you already purchased the product, and are still within your 90-Day In-Home Trial, then you can return it for a refund of the purchase price. Check out our full return policy here: https://www.litter-robot.com/returns.html

To find out more about HSA/FSA eligibility in partnership with SIKA, go to our website here: https://www.litter-robot.com/hsa-fsa-eligibility If you have any questions or need any help with your LMN, receipts, or the Sika payment process, contact support@sikahealth.com.

Cat won't use it

one of our cats simply WILL NOT use this machine. The amount of urine we now have all over the house is frustrating. The huge price we paid for this system would be worth it if the cats would use it.

It's not so much the company as it is…

It's not so much the company as it is the product. I have had fewer problems with my LR3 than my LR5 Pro. I own 5 different automatic litter boxes, and a common theme is that the apps are never reliable. They fall off the Wifi quite often. The LR5 continues to have issues detecting nonexistent movement and telling me the drawer is full when it is empty. I have tried different troubleshooting suggestions from the site and fixed them temporarily, but they still continue to plague us. Excrement continues to stick to the rubbery bottom and needs to be cleaned quite often.

customer support was superb!

Julieth at Whisker customer support was fantastic! She sorted out my difficulty in a very short time and set up a quick shipment of a replacement part. These robot units are not cheap so it is important to keep up with an extended warranty so that your investment is protected. We have three robust 6 7 and 8 year old ex feral toughies who depend on the litter robot as much as we do.

Didn’t work correctly straight after unboxing…

Update - changing my rating:

I spoke with a customer service rep that was really helpful. She sent me a brand new one and I was going to return the old one. However, it seems like the litter box needed a burn in period because now it’s working perfectly. Whisker is scheduling a pick up so I can return the new one that is no longer needed. I value that the Whisker staff truly worked to address my concerns. I’m now a happy customer - thank you Whisker.

Original review:
Received the unit a week ago and set it up today. I was very hopeful that this would be a seemless experience. Unfortunately no. The initial doesn’t work, straight out of the box. I’m curious to know what their Quality Control protocol is, if they are keeping track, and trying to improve? I followed the instructions to the T. I have all different flights showing. I tried troubleshooting using chat GPT which guided me through multiple sets. The instructions that come with the device didn’t address my issues. So now, I need to find time in my busy work day to call the company to troubleshoot. For the price of these units, their quality and performance should be stellar.

Horrible unpleasant experience

I should have read reviews from Truspilot before I made the purchase in which case I would probably have not suffered this painful experience!

Firstly the are not interested in looking after the product they sell to you. It instead their app is designed so that to grab as much as data possible so in the future they can sell you “something”! The app is not really about how the Robot functions and trouble shooting etc but a field of links which trigger the owner to potentially buy something!!!n how sad!

I spent 13+ hours trying to on board the device with the “help” of the company including the “technical” team (embarrassing) and nobody has had any clue what to do up until now.

One of the most unpleasant experiences I have ever had and anybody in case want to try, think twice!

Expensive, litter issues, always breaking

If you like paying a lot of money for a litterbox that requires constant messing with, gets stuck, constantly trying different brands of litter, then sure, buy this. I've owned the Litter Robot 4 for years, basically have had all of the parts replaced, and we are still having issues with it. One brand of litter is too dusty so the sensors kept triggering a stop event mid rotating. Switched to a less dusty brand and now the litterbox smells all the time. Tried their litter, also doesn't cover the smell. One of my cats had litter on it because their clumping factor is not good and litter fell on her while she was in it. We have spent so many hours of our lives opening tickets and troubleshooting this thing over the years, that time would have been better spent just manually scooping litter.

Edit:Now they are trying to take down my review, typical. I do not want to work with your support anymore. I am done working with your support. You all are a joke and your products are cheap, over priced, junk.

I ordered a motor for my litter robot…

I ordered a motor for my litter robot and asked it to be expedited since the machine is not working. I was told it would be expedited and I would have it by the end of the week. I never received the email with the order number of the installation instructions. I called back the next day and was put on hold for over an hour and still do not have the order number or tracking number to even know when it is shipping. I received the installation instructions and asked for a supervisor and never spoke to one as no one picked my call on hold. This is terrible customer service and would not tell anyone to ever order anything from this company. I’m about ready to throw this out the door and just go back to scooping litter, which is basically what I’m doing now since this piece of junk is not working anyway.
