Boxiepro

4.3
(8)
"Boxiecat Pro is the best"
·
"Seconding the boxiepro & ammosorb combo - I keep two LR4 in my bathroom, and the humidity was making it smell pretty bad before the ammosorb."
·
"I'm a huge BoxiePro fan, but still find that it needs some additional help in my humid environment."
·
"Boxiecat pro or any boxie cat litter because they are probiotic and it instantly neutralizes the ammonia and there is no odor."
·
"My regimen: - boxipro litter - dryer sheet in the drawer under the liner, change each time I empty the drawer - baking soda in the drawer liner/bag - change the LR4 filter 1st of each month - add arm & hammer litterbox deodorizer if I'm feeling fancy or if one of the cats makes an extraordinarily stinky deposit"
·
"Keep the Boxie Pro and put Fresh Wave Odor Removing Packs in the waste drawer."
·
"I use Boxie pro as well."
·
"They're already using Boxiecat and it's not working. I'm having the same problem with Boxiecat and bad smells especially when cycling"

LR

4.1
(8)
"We noticed a HUGE difference in smell when we got the first one and that thing paid for itself in money we saved in cat litter."
·
"The LR4 is suitable for a 1600 sf house and works well with multiple cats."
·
"The LR4 is a definite improvement in every respect compared to the LR3."
·
"Customer support was amazing and it's a life saver for my 5 cats."
·
"The LR4 was a headache, but it's working very well now."
·
"I expected it to be super loud but it's really not."
·
"The LR3 did its job, but had several issues."
·
"Not worth a $200 upgrade IMO."

Arm & Hammer

4.2
(5)
"Works great for us, plus our walking allergy cat seems to tolerate it well."
·
"I use their Slide cat litter. It’s worked well for me."
·
"We use slide as well but also sprinkle baking soda into the bag and add an odor absorber into the tray; this makes the room smell like litter vs poop/pee."
·
"Two cats, using Arm & Hammer Slide Multi-Cat. Nothing else for odor control other than emptying & light cleaning once a week, deep clean once a month or so."
·
"We use Arm & Hammer multi cat litter, have a purifier on the shelf beside the machine, and keep baking soda in the dump tray."

LR4

3.5
(4)
"Using LR4 has significantly improved my younger one's litter box habits."
·
"The smell is much less noticeable with the litter robot."
·
"The only thing that I like better about the LR4 is how it tells you the level of waste as a percentage in the drawer."
·
"It's an everyday battle with litter and tracking. I feel like it's more work than just scooping."
#9

Fresh Step

4.7
(3)
"I recently switched to Fresh Step Clean Paws Unscented. It’s been amazing! Not dusty, very minimal tracking, doesn’t stick to the globe, and there’s no odor."
·
"I personally use Fresh Step for years on both my old litter box and my current litter robot 4. Never had an issue so far and I've had it for about 2 months."
·
"I haven’t had too many issues with dust with fresh step. Odor control is still good though especially with the litter robot disposing of clumps very quickly."

"Switched to World's Best Multiple Cat Unscented and it was perfect. Only stinky when it is fresh (poop only, urine smell is nonexistent) and then nothing!"

Scoop

"The LR4 has a lot of upgrades that are great, but the litter level gauge doesn't work with crystal litter."
·
"The LR3 is wonderful for the most part, still waaay better than traditional scooping."
