Thanks for the heads up, OP, but has anyone used one of the “authentic” version of these? Worth the money or nah? I’ve always been curious but can’t justify spending that much money on a litter box.
I bought a refurbished litter robot about a year ago, and was initially aghast at myself for spending that kind of money for it, but now I am convinced it was worth the price.
It has made one of IMO the worst parts of cat ownership significantly easier, with the upside of being better for the cats as well.
I wanted one but the automatic ones are WAY out of my price range, so I got an Omega Paw Roll’ N Clean that I absolutely LOVE!
It makes taking care of litter almost completely effortless at a fraction of the price of the robot ones and it’s economical to use too:
You just put clumping litter in, roll it to deposit the refuse into the handy drawer, roll it back to put the clean litter back in, and empty the drawer.
It takes me mere seconds a day to clean up after two adult cats, and it’s cheap enough to buy and use that I can afford to give them that GOOD kitty kibble without neglecting their sanitary needs!

I have a litter robot 3 and it’s great. It was costly but I’ve probably already made a significant amount back on litter cost. The cats took some time to get used to it and one of them refused without adding a set of steps to get in but all in all they seem happy 18months later.
I also bought one a few years ago, for 2 cats. Definitely expensive, especially going for the litter robot 4 over 3, but was told by friends’ the 3 was somewhat loud and made their cats nervous.
Honestly have loved it. Allowed me to go on vacations with less worry about sitters cleaning the box well, or overuse between visits. One cat especially does not like to cover his mess, and the LR4 has spoiled me and him to allow his lazy habit to persist.
Definitely very expensive, but Very worthwhile for me and knowing laziness/busy times won’t affect the kitties. And of all the reviews, litterrobot seemed to be the best, and most reliable.
We have one at work (office cats ftw). I don’t know the model, but knowing the owner I’m positive they didn’t get a cheapo version. In this case it’s worth the money because it does a fairly good job at mixing the litter which seems to help quite a lot with the smell (it gets noticeably better a few minutes after it’s done its thing), since no one is gonna empty it during the day.
Getting a Litter-Robot 4 is the best purchase I’ve ever made. Wallet is still hurting a bit, but I have no regrets. Replaced 2 smelly litter boxes in my apartment with something that just sends me a notification once a week to empty the bin. It even tracks my cats weights, so it tells me who used the litter box, along with a chart of their weight.

Even with the high price I would recommend.

I’m not sure but it sounds like the guy who made the video OP linked might have a few suggestions
