I was very hesitant to order an automatic litter box due to the price and fear that it wouldn't live up to the promise but this box has been worth. Every. Single. Penny.

For starters, I have two cats. I began looking into automatic cat boxes when one of my cats (after two years) decided that she would poo outside of the box if there was even the slightest amount of waste in her litter space. Having multiple boxes became a huge nuisance and didn't automatically correct the problem, as I work and cannot go behind each of the cats every time they use the potty.

Everything was pretty much put together out of the box. The instructions were easy to follow and pretty much consisted of removing the tape and installing the little red foam protectors in the gaps inside of the box to the immediate left and right on the snide, which took a total of two seconds. Just throw the litter in and you're good.

At immediate plugging in, I ran into an issue where the rake would not come down during the cleaning process and the box would beep twice and not clean anything. This baffled me until I realized that the grate/step thing was not pushed in and connected. Once I pushed it in and the tabs were secured, this box worked like a charm!

The litter box comes with a pre-installed rake and they include an additional rake in the event that your original rake breaks, which I found nice! The box comes with two rolls of garbage bags which I can see will last awhile, because I only need to empty the waste bin about once per week.

So for the record, I have a little storage room in the house where I kept the original box. Just to make sure my diva cat would actually use the box, I shut the door to that room and put the automatic box in my living room. I am HIGHLY sensitive to smells and odors especially because I live in a small space. When I had my other litter box I could always kind of.. smell that there was a litter box? Even if the box was completely clean and sanitized, and used the febreeze litter.
I have ZERO odors with this box unless my cats have just used it or when the waste bin is full after a week of crap, and even then, the scent isn't as bad as when you have a traditional litter box. When I tell you this is a game changer, this is a game changer for someone who had to clean a litter box multiple times a day to accommodate a diva cat. Now I only have to dump the waste bin about once per week and that's a huge upgrade!! Not to mention, it looks cool and futuristic and has a UV light to sanitize after it cleans!

I bought my robot litter box around February it worked perfectly till it got to three months. The rack which scoops the litter was indefinitely stuck to the back, it was a pretty upsetting time for me not only because of the investment I put it but I now, at 6 months pregnant had to clean up the litter by hand. I decided to send a message via the app to see if they can troubleshoot my device and they instructed me to email the company directly. I was very happy with the response I got back. The company was willing to send me a whole new Litter box just before my Due date. I really thought I had no chance and I had to go back to manual picking up but That wasn't the case at all. Thanks again to the company for their patience and understanding. Both myself and my cat pepa are very happy. As far as how well the device works it works wonders. The device automatically knows when pepa goes inside to do her business. Via the app your able to know how many times she goes daily, how long you want the clumping time to be, how long you want the UV light to last (which helps disinfect the box), your also able to set up a "˜sleep mode' which the box turns off and on at your preferred time slots, via the app it informs you when it's time to reload the litter. As far as Oder it definitely eliminates much more than a manual litter box. It's an expensive investment but with how many features it has it's definitely worth it.

I had a litter robot 2 and two of the litter robot 3's before buying this automatic litter box. I liked the first litter robot I had but the second and third generations had a lot more mechanical parts to them and a bunch of flashing lights to signal if their were errors. The lights would constantly be flashing because something was almost always wrong with it. It would constantly get stuck in cycle mode and they were just too much of a hassle, especially for the price. Literally, every week something would be wrong with it and They are not cheap. When they work, they are great and don't have to clean it out as much as this KungFu litter box. I switched to the Kungfu litter box because of the frustration I had with litter robot 3 and wanted to try something else.

Now onto KungFu litter box: I have had it now for about 8 months. It seems simpler in design than the litter robot 2, 3, and 4 (ie. less to go wrong with it). A rake swings down from the top back scooping the litter into a compartment up top and to the back. The first day I had it, the rack would try to work but got stuck. I freaked out but that was due to the PTSD from the Litter Robot constantly malfunctioning. I eventually realized I had too much litter in it. When I took out some litter, the rake worked fine. There must be a pressure sensor, so when it has to push too hard through the litter (because there is a lot of litter pee clumps attaching to the bottom or too much litter which makes it too heavy), it won't rake through the litter and will beep at you twice. The rake always does 2 rounds of raking. I haven't had any further issues with the rake....I do need to figure out how to take it off so I can clean it thoroughly. That doesn't seem intuitive as I tried but I also didn't really read the manual about it yet! So that is on me. It also came with an extra rake, just FYI. That seems to be the only mechanical piece that really matters if there is a malfunction. The only other mechanical parts that can malfunction are the door that closes as it cleans itself with the rake and the UV light. I have not had any issues with either of those.

I have 2 cats, a 25 pound orange cat and a 13 pound black cat. Both use the same litter box. I have to change out the bag in the back every 2 days. It comes with black bags but they were a little too small and awkward for my liking. So I got a big box of Kirkland clear plastic trash bags and they work great. It is easy to change the bag as that compartment comes out. I do still need to scoop some caked on pee clumps at the bottom and some rogue poops but may not have to if I changed the bag a little sooner. The step in front of the litter box is basically a box with a grate on top that catches most of the litter from the cats' feet as they come out. So less mess. The Litter Robot didn't have that. So that was a nice touch! That step also detaches from the litter box and you can pull out the compartment that holds all the litter the cats use. So you can easily empty out all the litter and put new litter in and/or clean it. I didn't realize it had a plastic film over it and noticed after about a month, the litter had plastic film pieces in it. As I took out the litter drawer, I see a sticker that says "Do Not Remove this plastic film." I didn't remove it but the cat's pee or scratching or something has made it so that it has torn and come up on it's own. I don't know how much it really matters but time will tell I guess. The litter box is made of plastic, so not really sure what the plastic film does.

All in all, it is a good reliable automated litter box. I think it is probably perfect for someone with just 1 cat. Multiple cats would kind of defeat the purpose of this automatic litter box as you would need to change the waste collection area quite frequently (daily to every other day). Yes, you don't have to necessarily rake the pee and poo as that is what is automated with this litter box (although I still have to depending on how often the waste compartment gets changed) but a bigger compartment would mean I would have to do it much less. The other option is to get one for each cat but I did have 2 litter robots each set in a different area of the house but they would always just use one of them.

I have read reviews on here about people having issue with the rake not working. Again, make sure that there is not too much litter in it or it will not work. That should be the first thing someone checks. It doesn't do well with a lot of litter.

Anyways, I hope this review helps some people make an informed decision!

It's not as loud as I was expecting, quieter than a Roomba or wall air conditioner. Assembly was easy enough although it took me a few minutes to configure the step correctly. The app is adequate although not configured for multicat use. I'm still trying to find the most reasonable cat litter for clumping.
The downside:
The cats aren't sold on it. I have a regular box next to it for now while they adapt. They prefer the interior light on it to be off, which is fortunately a feature in the app. I noticed that even with the xl size there's not as much space for them to turn around in it. And they're not big or heavy cats.

However my biggest issue is that the step going into it is hollow and so the cats will pee down the grate into that empty space. Which can (and will) leak onto the floor without a mat underneath. Cleanup for that is not good nor easy.

I recently purchased the KungFuPet Self-Cleaning Cat Litter Box for my two large tuxedo cats, and it has been an absolute game-changer! As a busy cat owner, I searched for a litter box solution that would make my life easier while providing a comfortable and clean environment for my feline companions. This automatic cat litter box has exceeded all my expectations.

First and foremost, the app control feature is nothing short of amazing. It allows me to remotely monitor and control the litter box from my smartphone, making maintenance and cleaning a breeze. The convenience of scheduling automatic cleaning cycles and receiving notifications when the litter box needs attention has saved me so much time and effort.

The design of the litter box is also worth mentioning. It is spacious enough to comfortably accommodate my large tuxedo cats, ensuring they have ample room to do their business without feeling cramped. The self-cleaning mechanism is efficient and effective, quickly and quietly removing waste from the litter box. I appreciate that it utilizes odor control technology to keep my home smelling fresh and eliminate the need for constant scooping.

Furthermore, the litter box is easy to assemble and maintain. The high-quality materials used in its construction make it durable and long-lasting. The removable waste drawer simplifies the disposal process, and the included waste liners are a thoughtful addition, reducing the mess and making cleanup hassle-free.

Most importantly, my cats have taken to this litter box with ease. They were initially skeptical, as cats can be creatures of habit. Still, the transition was smooth, thanks to the spacious interior and the familiarity of the litter they were already using. They seem comfortable and happy using the litter box, which gives me peace of mind knowing they are content and well-cared for.

In conclusion, the KungFuPet Self-Cleaning Cat Litter Box has been a true lifesaver for my household. It offers unparalleled convenience, efficient self-cleaning capabilities, and a comfortable space for my tuxedo cats to do their business. If you're a busy cat owner looking to upgrade your litter box experience, I highly recommend investing in this smart litter box. Trust me; it will make your life easier and your cats happier!
