The Best Self-Cleaning Litter Boxes in 2022

If you’ve had enough of constant scooping, cleaning and refilling your kitty’s litter box, we recommend checking out PetSafe ScoopFree Ultra Automatic model. This innovative self-cleaning litter box takes the hassle out of daily cat toilet maintenance thanks to its fully automated and adjustable scooping system that can scoop on its own for up to two weeks at a time. Furthermore, the model has excellent odor control thanks to the crystal litter it uses that absorbs urine and dehydrated solid waste quickly and efficiently. This litter is also healthier for both you and your cat because it’s virtually dust-free and doesn’t stick to paws (yay clean floors!). To ensure leak-proof operation, the litter box uses disposable trays with plastic lining which help protect the floors and make the cleanup a piece of cake. There is even a health counter that tracks how many times your pet used the box, which provides a good insight into your kitty’s urinary health and can help detect early signs of health problems. This can also tell you when it’s the right time for litter replacement. Overall, one of the best self-cleaning litter boxes, hands down!

Looking for a budget-friendly self-scooping litter box? You can’t get better than Omega Paw Roll ‘n’ Clean model. Simple but highly effective, this covered litter box provides privacy for your cat, while sparing you from manually scooping up poop. While not fully automatic, the design is actually quite ingenious – all you have to do is roll the box and it will scoop for you! Sure, there are no sensors, timers and other fancy stuff most fully automatic litter boxes come with, but it also doesn’t require battery changes, special types of litter or lots of money. That said, it is best when used with clumping cat litter, but pretty much any clumping litter will do. So how does this work exactly? The box has a unique patented grill that sifts out the clumped waste from clean litter, depositing it into the waste tray. So, once you’ve rolled the box, just take out the tray and throw away the used litter. Simple as that! You won’t touch your kitty’s waste or inhale dust from scooping, which is all that matters. As a bonus, the box is quite large so it’s suitable for bigger cats and multi-cat households.

If your kitty is not a fan of automatic rakes, take a look at PetSafe Simply Clean model. Continuously cleaning itself throughout the day by rotating every hour, this automatic cat litter box sifts waste and carries it up the conveyor belt into a waste bin quietly, without startling your cat. The bin is covered so it does a nice job of trapping the odors, and is, of course, removable, so you can empty it when waste disposal is needed using any small bag as a liner. Speaking of cleanup, the box works all on its own for up to two weeks at a time, after which time you need to clean it to keep it operating at its best. Importantly, you can use any clumping litter your cat normally likes. Overall, a great quiet model that is suitable for most cats, however, it should not be used for pets heavier than 15 pounds.

For households with multiple cats, LitterMaid Multi-Cat Self-Cleaning unit b may be the best choice. This easy clean litter box features a rake system that removes waste on its own, placing it into a waste bin with carbon filters for odor control. So, without manual scooping, cleaning and raking, the box will remain clean and odor-free for up to seven days in multi-cat homes. Designed to be neat and easy to use, the box has high walls and a paw cleaning ramp, a combo that prevents both litter scatter and tracking around the box. However, it should be noted that sometimes, a little bit of litter scatter is normal, especially in a multi-cat home. A big plus is that this unit works with a variety of litter brands, but many users seem to prefer super-clumping, scented litters with this model.

Another excellent self cleaning kitty litter box by PetSafe, this model boasts unbeatable odor control and weeks-long automatic scooping. Unlike the Ultra model, this one doesn’t have a hood or adjustable raking cycle, however, it’s still equally good for kitties who don’t need extra privacy to go, as the box scoops for up to two weeks on its own, keeping everything neat and clean. As for how often the scooping happens, it’s always 20 minutes after the kitty leaves the box. Like the previous models, this one too uses crystal litter that is practically dust-free and excellent at absorbing odors. The box comes with disposable trays with plastic linings that help protect against leaks, keeping the floors clean. Overall, the best self =-cleaning litter box if you want a fully automatic but super-simple to use system.
