FAQ

Core features of Litter-Robot models have always included a patented sifting system, odor management, multi-cat design, cat safety features, and easy-to-clean modular components. The new Litter-Robot 4 advances these core features with the latest technology, including the SafeCat™ System with OmniSense™ Detection for enhanced safety and real-time tracking of waste and litter levels. Litter-Robot 4 also features a QuietSift™ cleaning cycle, an enlarged, and more tightly-sealed waste drawer for enhanced odor control, and a wider opening to maximize cat comfort. Consult our Litter-Robot comparison page or Litter-Robot 3 vs 4 blog post to learn more.

The best litter for Litter-Robot is clumping litter. We recommend a high-quality, standard-weight, clay-based clumping litter, such as GreatLitter. Some silica gel litter beads and crystals can also be used with Litter-Robot, as long as they pass through the screen. However, translucent or white-colored litter (most often seen in crystal litter) may impact the litter level and Drawer Full Indicator (DFI) accuracy in Litter-Robot 4 and are therefore not recommended. Alternative, plant-based litters typically do not work with Litter-Robot as these may not be filtered properly through the sifting system. Litters that do not work in Litter-Robot are the strictly absorbent, non-clumping or loose-clumping litters, newspaper-based litters, and absorbent wood pellet litter.

No, Litter-Robot does not require special bags or liners for the waste drawer. As long as it fits, you can use it. Customers often use 10- to 13-gallon kitchen garbage bags or large plastic grocery bags. If you're looking for a no-fuss option, check out our custom-fit waste drawer liners in various size packs (three come free with each Litter-Robot). Our waste drawer liners work for any Litter-Robot model.

Cats are generally curious and will investigate any new object. Cats that are already used to a covered litter box may be quicker to investigate. We recommend that you leave Litter-Robot turned off at first while your cat gets used to your new self-cleaning litter box. Place Litter-Robot in the same location as the old litter box. You can leave the old litter box near Litter-Robot for a short time. Take a cup of litter from the old litter box and add it to the clean litter in Litter-Robot. The scent will be familiar, and your cat will be inclined to investigate. Once your cat ventures inside and feels the litter under their paws, they will know what to do. Learn more about acclimating your cat.

Kittens that weigh 3 pounds or more can safely use Litter-Robot 4 in automatic mode, while kittens that weigh 5 pounds or more can use Litter-Robot 3 (with or without Connect) in automatic mode. If your kitten does not meet this minimum weight, leave Litter-Robot off to operate in “semi-automatic” mode. When you see your kitten has used Litter-Robot, turn it on, and Litter-Robot will automatically perform a clean cycle. Once it finishes, turn the power off. This way, your kitten is safe while they get accustomed to Litter-Robot at a young age, and you don’t have to scoop the litter box!

We recommend up to 4 indoor cats per single Litter-Robot; however, we do have customers with more cats using a single unit. As a rule of thumb, one cat using Litter-Robot 3 requires that the drawer be emptied once per week; two cats, twice per week; three cats, every other day, and so on. Litter-Robot 4 features an enlarged waste drawer for even more waste capacity, which means emptying is required less often. Litter-Robot cycles 7 minutes after each use, but if the wait time is interrupted by another cat entering, the timer will reset for another 7 minutes, which could cause waste to be present in the litter for longer than 7 minutes. Too many cats per single Litter-Robot may result in the litter bed not being clean for the next use.

If you and your cat are not completely satisfied, just return your Litter-Robot within 90 days of purchase for a full refund of the purchase price. Please note that you are responsible for return shipping costs. Please contact Whisker Customer Experience to request a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number. We cannot accept return shipments without an RMA number.

Cats that weigh 3 pounds or more can safely use Litter-Robot 4 in automatic mode, while kittens that weigh 5 pounds or more can use Litter-Robot 3 (with or without Connect) in automatic mode. If your cat or kitten does not meet this minimum weight, you may still use Litter-Robot in “semi-automatic” mode by turning it off and only turning it on to perform a clean cycle from the app or directly on the unit.

No, Litter-Robot does not have a weight limit. Size and weight often have little to do with whether a cat will adopt Litter-Robot or not. Whether or not Litter-Robot will be comfortable for a large or fat cat is up to the individual. As long as the cat can enter the globe and turn around inside it comfortably, it doesn't matter how much they weigh. Litter-Robot 4 features a wider opening to maximize comfort for cats of all breeds and sizes.

Yes, compared to a traditional litter box, Litter-Robot can be a great solution for cats that spray or aim high when they go. The globe was designed to handle this, as the flange (rim) of the top half of the globe hangs over the bottom half of the globe, which itself is protected by a tough, impermeable flexible liner. If any liquid gets above the halfway mark (above the globe liner), it simply drips or drains down to the liner and then into the litter without collecting or pooling anywhere. This results in a clump forming at the perimeter of the litter bed, which is removed by the peeling action of the globe liner during a clean cycle. Constant spraying will require that you clean the interior of the globe more frequently to remove any residue, and, for deep cleaning, you can disassemble the globe into two halves (top and bottom).

Starting out, we recommend placing your Litter-Robot near your cat's old litter box. As soon as your cat starts using their self-cleaning litter box regularly, remove the old litter box. At this point, the placement is up to you. If possible, we recommend placing Litter-Robot on a firm surface. If you plan to use Litter-Robot 4 on carpet or uneven flooring, please purchase our Carpet Tray accessory.

Because waste is promptly removed and contained in the base, typical litter box odors will be significantly reduced with Litter-Robot. Litter-Robot 4 features an optional OdorTrap® System designed to neutralize litter box odors. This system uses the combination of a sealed waste drawer and carbon filter to reduce odors. You can opt to combine the carbon filter with OdorTrap® Packs to eliminate litter box odors through natural chemistry. For Litter-Robot 3, a large carbon filter located in the front of the waste drawer absorbs odors and moisture to discourage mold growth (a major culprit of that telltale litter box smell). The amount of odor control Litter-Robot will provide depends on the amount of odor created—by how many cats use it, what type of litter you use, and your cats' diets, among other things. Of course, the more often you empty the waste drawer, the less opportunity there is for odor to escape. That said, if you empty the waste drawer and notice Litter-Robot is still a source of unpleasant odors, we recommend changing out the bed of litter completely, deep-cleaning Litter-Robot twice per year, and replacing the carbon filter as needed. It is also worth noting that scented litters are generally not as effective at absorbing odors as unscented litter. Instead, we recommend an unscented, odor-trapping, natural litter like GreatLitter.

Yes. According to an independent study, cats using Litter-Robot 4 track up to 62% less litter than with traditional litter boxes, making it the best litter box for messy cats. Because Litter-Robot automatically cleans after each use, your cat is not walking through dirty litter that can stick to their paws and be tracked out of the litter box. That said, the type of cat litter you use can make a difference in general litter tracking. Litter-Robot 4 comes standard with fence and optional step to reduce litter tracking out of the globe.

Litter-Robot comes with a power supply that plugs directly into the wall. We have a Litter-Robot 3 backup battery kit and Litter-Robot 4 backup battery kitavailable on our website, which provides 24-48 hours of reserve power, so your Litter-Robot will remain operational in the event of a power outage. (Battery life varies depending on your cat's usage.)

This depends on the number and size of your cats. Litter-Robot 4 features an enlarged waste drawer, so you may only need to empty the waste drawer once every two weeks per one cat. With Litter-Robot 3, once every 10-12 days per one cat is usually sufficient; two cats, twice per week; three cats, every other day, and so on.

Fill the globe with litter until it meets or is just below the raised fill line on the black rubber globe liner when spread flat—approximately 8-10 pounds of litter (3.6-4.5 kg) by weight or 1 gallon (4L) by volume. Be careful not to overfill the globe. Since the waste clumps are removed during each cycle, there is no need to put excessive litter in the globe.

Litter-Robot uses litter very efficiently since the patented sifting system only removes the clumps. Litter-Robot 4 features real-time tracking of litter levels, so the Whisker app can alert you when to add more litter to the globe. We also recommend checking the litter level against the raised fill line (on the black rubber liner of the globe) each time you empty the waste drawer, which is about once per week for a single cat or twice for multiple cats. Be careful not to overfill the globe.

Litter beads and crystals that are small enough to pass through the screen (such as Pretty Litter) will work with Litter-Robot 3. However, translucent or white-colored litter (most often seen in crystal litter) may impact the litter level and Drawer Full Indicator (DFI) accuracy in Litter-Robot 4. We recommend using a high-quality, clay-clumping litter.

No, Feline Pine pellets are too large to pass through the sifting screen, which prevents the litter sifting system from working properly. Feline Pine clumping is also too fluffy to effectively pass through the sifting screen.

No, any dust is negligible since the globe rotates very slowly.

If the globe jams or an excessive load condition occurs, the motor is turned off automatically. In addition, all Litter-Robots are equipped with an anti-pinch safety mechanism. Litter-Robot 4 features an integrated SafeCat System that continuously analyzes 4 zones to ensure kitty’s safety.

No, the globe will not turn while your cat is inside. Litter-Robot features weight sensor technology that detects your cat every time they enter, or re-enter, the globe, resetting the countdown timer to prevent the clean cycle from starting for another 7 minutes.

Weight sensor technology will detect your cat and the globe will stop immediately. The cycle will not resume until 15 seconds after the cat is no longer detected. If your cat or something else is still tripping the sensor, Litter-Robot will not resume the cleaning cycle and a series of lights will flash indicating the problem. The Instruction Manual will help you troubleshoot common problems and our Customer Experience team is here to help when you need it. Weight applied on the step and/or step mat will not trip the sensor and stop the globe rotation. This is intentional, as we do not want to invite a cat to enter by stopping the globe rotation. If, however, the cat steps inside, the globe will stop.

No, there are no electrical components inside the globe. Litter-Robot operates on a safe 15 Volts DC using an adapter very similar to the ones you may have at home for a clock radio or for charging your cell phone.

No, the globe does not contain any rakes or wires that could hurt or harm your cat. Litter-Robot was designed with your cat’s safety in mind.

Litter-Robot will work with both 110 and 220 currents. Use only the power supply provided with the unit. Litter-Robot consumes a very small amount of power: When the motor is working to rotate the globe during a clean cycle, Litter-Robot uses just 2.7 watts of electricity. When Litter-Robot is on standby, which is 99% of the time, it uses just 0.36 watts of electricity.

Litter-Robot helps reduce the environmental impact of your litter box in several ways: The patented litter-sifting system disposes of soiled litter only, maximizing the amount of recycled, clean litter. Reduced litter consumption means less waste headed for the landfill and fewer trips to the pet store, too. Litter-Robot is compatible with clumping litters, which capitalize on the natural drying abilities of clay and other materials, rather than the addition of chemical agents.

Manufacturer-reconditioned Litter-Robots and Feeder-Robots are generally robots sold as new and then returned under our 90-day in-home trial. Eligible robots are reconditioned and tested to verify they meet original factory specifications. Whisker stands behind our reconditioned robots with the same 90-day in-home trial and WhiskerCare™ 1-Year Warranty. Our reconditioned robots offer great value since you'll receive a manufacturer-approved product at a discounted price. When considering whether to purchase a reconditioned robot, however, remember that you are purchasing a used product.

We recommend that you change the Litter-Robot 3 carbon filter or Litter-Robot 4 carbon filter every month depending on how frequently your Litter-Robot gets used. This is really up to personal preference. If you are noticing a stronger odor coming from the unit, it may be time to change the carbon filter.

We recommend that you change 2 OdorTrap® Packs every month or 1 pack every 2 weeks.

Cleaning the Litter-Robot exterior is easy. Just remove the globe and the drawer and use cleaner spray or cleaner wipes. You can also give them a sponge bath with mild soap and water, or take them outside for deep-cleaning with the garden hose. All other surfaces can be wiped clean, but should not be submerged. CAUTION: The base and bonnet of the Litter-Robot contain electrical components that should not be submerged.

This depends on your personal preference and your cat’s behavior. We recommend cleaning the inside of the globe every one to three months. Learn how to clean your Litter-Robot: 1. Press the Empty button to cycle the globe clockwise, which will allow the litter to fall through the waste port and into the drawer for easy disposal. Sweep any leftover litter toward the waste port. Then, press any button to return the globe to the Home position. Ensure that all litter has been removed from the globe—wet litter turns into messy clay! 2. Turn the Litter-Robot off and unplug the unit. 3. Remove the bonnet: Press and release the snap tabs on both sides of the bonnet, then lift and rotate the bonnet off of the globe and carefully set it aside. 4. Remove the globe: With two hands, lift the globe off the base. 5. Clean the globe with cleaner spray or with water and a mild soap. There are no electronic components in the globe that can be damaged by soap and water. If the globe has become extremely dirty, it can be soaked and cleaned with a water hose. 6. Let the globe dry completely before reassembling it to the base and attaching the bonnet. For a quick touchup, you can use cleaner wipes to wipe the inside and upper half of the globe (without removing the litter). Watch the Litter-Robot 3 video here.

Press and hold the Empty button on the Litter-Robot control panel for 3 seconds to enter Cycle Delay Setting mode. One of the lights will start flashing, indicating the current Cycle Delay Setting. Use the Reset button to toggle to the next setting: blue for 3 minutes, yellow for 7 minutes, and red for 15 minutes. Press and hold the Empty button to save the setting. The blue light will blink to confirm, then return to standby.

Press and hold the Empty button on the Litter-Robot control panel for 3 seconds to enter Cycle Delay Setting mode. The light bar will indicate the current Cycle Delay setting. Subsequent short presses of the Empty button will toggle through the following settings: 3 minutes = 1 green light displayed; 7 minutes = 2 green lights displayed; 15 minutes = 3 green lights displayed; 25 minutes = 4 green lights displayed; 30 minutes = 5 (all) green lights displayed. After selecting the preferred setting, a 3-second long press of the Empty button will save the setting.

The Cycle Delay is the elapsed time starting from when your cat exits the globe until the unit starts a Clean cycle. It can be set for 3, 7, or 15 minutes on Litter-Robot 3, or 3, 7, 15, 25, or 30 minutes on Litter-Robot 4. The default Cycle Delay is 7 minutes. Reduce the Cycle Delay if it is important to minimize odor and/or the time that waste is available to other pets—such as dogs. However, reducing the Cycle Delay may reduce the cleaning effectiveness if clumps do not have enough time to set up. Extend the Cycle Delay when using a lower-quality clumping litter that needs more time to set up.

This video will take you through some basic checks that usually resolve why your Litter-Robot 3 is not cycling. You can also try these tips: (1.) Please make sure the back of the unit is at least 2-3 inches away from the wall. If the unit is touching the wall, it can impact the weight sensor technology. (2.) Make sure the unit is on a flat, even surface. Carpet or litter mats/rugs underneath the unit may impact the sensor. (3.) Standard weight litter is recommended for best results; you’ll want to keep the litter amount as close to or right under the fill line. The unit needs 8-10 pounds of litter in the globe to detect a 5-pound cat in Litter-Robot 3, or a 3-pound cat in Litter-Robot 4. If the litter is below the line or you're using a lightweight or plant-based litter, this will decrease the sensitivity of the unit. (4.) Check to make sure the unit is not in sleep mode. Sleep mode in Litter-Robot 3 is indicated by a solid blue and solid yellow light. Sleep mode in Litter-Robot 4 is indicated by a solid purple light. If sleep mode is accidentally turned on, it will go into sleep mode at the same time every day until it’s physically turned off. You can view this video on how to turn sleep mode on/off on Litter-Robot 3. If you’re still experiencing issues, please contact our Customer Experience team.

Without the hopper insert, Feeder-Robot holds up to 32 cups of dry kibble. With the hopper insert, it holds up to 25 cups of dry kibble. With the pre-installed dispenser, Feeder-Robot dispenses up to 1/2 cup of pet food in 1/8-cup increments, 1 to 8 times per day.

Deciding how to use the Feeder-Robot depends on your pet’s eating habits. If your pet has a habit of overeating or eating very quickly, you may wish to schedule their meals. By scheduling the feeding time, your pet will be eating a measured meal portion, 1 to 8 times per day. If your pet has no issue with overeating and tends to “graze” throughout the day, you may wish to use gravity mode. In gravity mode, the Feeder-Robot bowl remains full based on a check every 6 hours.

No, you cannot put wet food in Feeder-Robot. You can use any dry or semi-moist cat or dog kibble.

Yes! If you use the Whisker app to set your pet's feeding schedule, you can rest assured that your pet will still be fed should the unit go offline. The Feeder-Robot saves the feeding schedule locally on the unit. Whether the unit is connected to the network or offline, once it has a schedule programmed to it via the control panel keypad or downloaded to it from the app, Feeder-Robot will continue to feed on that specific schedule until it is updated. If the Status Indicator Tower light is blue, then the unit is running a programmed schedule.

The Feeder-Robot 12V Backup Battery is not included, but sold separately. If you purchase the battery add-on with your Feeder-Robot, the battery will come pre-installed. (Does not apply to Feeder-Robot bundles or reconditioned Feeder-Robot; battery must be installed by customer.)

Place the Feeder-Robot in the same location as the current food bowl(s), set it up, and make sure it is not scheduled to feed yet. Give your pet a day or two to explore Feeder-Robot. Add a small handful of your pet’s food to the bowl to provide a familiar meal for your pet. Place treats in the feeding bowl or around Feeder-Robot so your pet associates rewards with the unit. Once you notice that your pet has eaten from Feeder-Robot, press the Feed button while your pet is in the room with you so they can observe the food dispensing and become familiar with the sound of Feeder-Robot while you are there to reassure them. Feeder-Robot is not loud, but the dispenser will make slight noise during the dispensing process. For more tips, refer to the instruction manual.

Use cleaner wipes on removable parts (or hand wash with mild soap); let completely air dry before re-assembling Feeder-Robot. Wipe down non-removable parts that touch pet food or use the included cleaning brush. Do NOT submerge the Feeder-Robot base or control panel in water. We recommend that you clean Feeder-Robot before its first use, and at least once a month after that. The best time to clean is when the hopper and feeding bowl are already empty.

All paperwork should be included with your return to ensure a prompt and accurate credit. Purchaser is responsible for the cost of return shipment. The credit card and card number used to purchase your merchandise will be credited upon receipt and inspection. Visit our returns page for more information.

If you just received a refund notification, verify that the information is correct. If you do not see the amount refunded to either your credit card or account within 3-10 business days, please contact the bank and note the transaction ID in your refund notification message. The bank can track the transaction. If you do not have the notification message, contact us for your transaction ID number. Any further inquiries must be done through your bank. We cannot speak to your bank to expedite the transaction.

We cannot process your refund on a different credit card. If the original payment method has been compromised, the refund must be by mailed check or via PayPal.

We will process your refund (to the original method of payment) within 10 to 30 days of receipt of your returned unit. If you purchased your unit from a source other than Litter-Robot.com, you must coordinate the return with that source.

You will need an RMA (Return Merchandise Authorization) number on the box along with your name so we can easily identify the returned unit. To obtain an RMA number, please contact Whisker Customer Experience. When receiving an RMA you will also be provided with return instructions or you may use the yellow sheet that came with your unit. Returns that come back without an RMA may take excess processing time or be refused. Visit our returns page for more information.

We can provide a return shipping label via FedEx for a $60 deduction from your refund. You will need to contact us through our returns page in order to set this up. Please note that this shipping method cannot be applied if you purchased your unit from a third party. The cost to ship the unit is fairly expensive so we suggest that you find the cheapest route possible and package the box well.
