Mejor inversion que compre, super facil de user y me ayuda mucho.

We’ve had our MeowWant litter box for about 9 months now. I got it shortly after we adopted our littlest of two Siberian cats after I realized how much of a pain it was to hand-scoop two girls’ worth of waste every day. It’sgot its flaws, but it’s infinitely better than hand-scooping. It’s got a small enough footprint that it doesn’t take up too much space in our little apartment bathroom, but it’s large enough on the inside that our ultra-fluffy 13lb 3yr old girl can pretty comfortably go potty, turn around, and dig without being cramped. It works as intended probably 90% of the time, which is as good as it gets right now (skip to the last paragraph for my TLDR on why, and my reasoning for recommending it). 1. The app is nothing to write home about; I thought it would be a great way to keep track of their weight, but it turns out that it just kind of upsets the machine to have an integrated scale (of questionable accuracy), and it disconnects from my phone anytime it’s unplugged/reset, so eventually I just stopped reconnecting it. Our girls will also play on top of it, which triggers the weight sensor and logs it as potty time, which totally throws off the data. I only really needed to connect it once at the beginning to set our cleaning cycle times (8am, 12pm, 5pm, 12am), but otherwise I’m fine with not getting notifications. The machine itself is usually well-behaved, but like all auto-scooping litter boxes on the market, it can be finicky. 2. You have to be really, really careful to shut the waste bin door all the way after opening it up, making sure it is latched and flush against the curve of the barrel before walking away. If it’s left partially open or a corner is sticking out, it’ll catch on its next cycle and spill the contents of the upside down all over the floor. As the lights are blinking red, you have to remove the back part, pick up the barrel, and physically rotate it back into position (and shut the waste bin door properly), unplug it and plug it back in to get it to complete a spill-free cycle if this happens. 3. I recommend keeping a hand-vac handy/near the litter box in case of this, and in general; it’s quite shallow and low to the ground, so if your cat(s) are big on digging like our girls are, litter will end up on floor anyway. Since it’s across from our toilet, I literally just vacuum the surrounding area whenever I pee (…in the human toilet, lol), which makes it very easy. 4. You also must be mindful about what kind of litter you use. The advertisement states that it can take tofu or larger/longer-sized litter pellets, but it really can’t without wasting a bunch of it, as it will mistakenly sift larger particles into the waste bin. We’ve tried 6+ different types of liter with this box, and the ones we’ve found to be the best are ones with very fine, heavy particles, such as BoxyCat or other standard clay litter, or Sustainably Yours corn litter (we love this stuff, it’s just a little spendy). 5. The holes are currently large enough that poops the size of a marble or smaller will be sifted back in with the clean litter. That’s not a huge deal if your litter is really absorbent and dries out the “leftovers,” but I think they should market this for use with the small grain litters and not for use with tofu litters, so they could make the grate smaller in order to catch the small poops. Those things may seem like glaring issues, but they are not specific to MeowWant. Even the biggest, most expensive, most complicated, fanciest-seeming litter boxes have issues, many of which overlap with the issues that this one has. The main thing I learned during the hours upon hours of research I did prior to purchasing this litter box was that the auto-scooping litter robot market as a whole has a long way to go before these are more reliable and commonplace. The thing that *is* unique to MeowWant is the impeccable customer service. They’ve been incredibly accomodating, friendly, and responsive responsive to our concerns in a way that has me believing they actually take what customers say into account when considering design tweaks for future iterations of this product, which is very encouraging (and exceedingly rare). Overall, for now, I genuinely believe this is one of the best auto-scooping boxes available. Between the small footprint, large inside space, quiet operation, and relative ease of use & cleaning (tip: use some enzyme wipes/spray/foam in between deep cleans) make it totally worthwhile if your goal is to save time and energy dealing with your furbaby’s excrement, especially if you don’t have a ton of space or money for a “nicer one.” I’ll put it this way: cleaning up after the occasional litter box malfunction takes a lot less time and energy than scooping a regular litter box multiple times a day. Unless you want to wait for the industry to catch up, this is worth getting. Edit: Although it is not advertised to work with crystal/silica litter, it does sift out the poo and stirs it around enough to not clump, though you may want to scrape the bottom every so often if you go this route. We had to switch away from the clay litter because it was causing our older girl’s tear ducts to plug up, and we can’t use plant based litter because my partner is super allergic to the dust from it. I’m happy to report that it’s working quite well with FreshStep’s blue crystal litter (I don’t remember the exact name. It is not scented), both for us and the girls :)

Easy set up, our cat adopted it very quickly. We couldn't use the app, because it says that it's not available in Australia. But nevertheless, we don't need it as much.

Edited review: Company contacted me after leaving the review asking me if i wanted a refund, or replacement product. Shocked to say the least. I left before 3 stars, see review below, not the worst review. However after speaking with them and explaining the problem, they sent me a new drum. And since the new drum is installed i no longer have a sticky lid. Works fine, opens normally. I in the meantime have tried out plenty of litter, and found the best one. now i no longer need to clean the whole box everytime. Its stays nice and clean, cats love it. And i love the low maintenance! Also you use waaaaayyy less litter. Very happy with purchase! Litter box works fine, cats like it. But changing the bag is a pain! The lid keeps getting stuck, trying to open it is like a 15 min job of just banging on it. The litter gets stuck in the opening of the closure, and the closure is a push button system. That when litter is stuck in it, cant be pushed to open. It drives me mad. Also 4/5day MAX with 2 cats for 1 bag change. But the whole inside drum and lid of bin needs a full lysol/bleach clean. Not a bad machine overall, except the waste bag compartment

Received very quickly less than 2 days after ordering thank you! I’ve allowed 2 weeks since receiving to review. I cannot express enough how glad I am that I bought this I was dubious about the price of electric litter boxes and did my research. This came out top of all the more realistically priced boxes. I have two young cats, one took to the litter box immediately one was terrified but after 3 days took to using it and hasnt looked back since. I helped her to transition by rewards treats and play going near the litter box then after a day stopped emptying the old litter box (stinky but worth it) and she opted for a cleaner toilet in the end. Dont rush this stage take time so cat doesn’t feel forced you dont want any accidents on the floor! The app works i havent had any issues at all and weighs my cats and i can add details and photos of them in the app so I know who used the toilet and when. The box itself is roomy enough for most cats and it is so quiet you hardly hear it. I can use ordinary composting bags or small pedal bin liners and hook handles underneath the bin so is very easy and cheap to replace the bags. I use a fine clumping well known cat litter and this works great. Odour wise it does a brilliant job of removing smells from the room obviously you are going to have some smell when in use but soon after when cycle clean kicks in the air is cleared. No more coming home from work to a stinking litter tray! I do choose to emty bin every day though as i have a strong sense of smell! I can honestly say this has changed my life and I am enjoying my cats to the full, they enjoy their litter box too and a constantly clean toilet. If you are thinking of buying one of these do not hesitate you won’t regret it!
