Neakasa M1 Plus Lite Open-Top Self Cleaning Cat Litter Box, Automatic Cat Litter Box with APP Control, Upgraded Safety Protection, Odor Control, Includes 1 Roll Waste Bag

I was on the fence about this cat box. Its just so expensive. But I'm very happy with my purchase. Mine came with some adhesive pieces to put around the inside to seal the seam where I guess urin could get into unwanted places. It was a little intimidating, not wanting to make a mistake. I took the extra time to ensure I applied them properly. But I managed to do it and it looks clean and tightly sealed. Other than that, assembly was very simple. Setting up and navigating the app is also very simple. Took me about 15 to 20 minutes and the most of that time was laying out the adhesive strips and adjusting them to make sure they were on straight and proper. Our kitty is 4 months old, we have had her for 2 and she took to the new cat box right away. We cleaned out the old cat box and left it in the room until I saw she was using the new one on a regular basis. Then I removed the old box. I love that there is an option in the app to send you notifications that she was in the box. I don't use that now, but it made the first 3 days worry free about if she was using it or not. I love that the app tells you if there is enough litter in the box. It tells you if the bin is full too, but we empty the bin daily so that isn't something we use. I love knowing that we invested in a reputable company that takes safety seriously. The box moves very slow during the clean and senses if our kitty got in and it stops moving until it's detected that she is out of the box. With the new box, cleaning is easier. No scooping. It doesn't smell, but we do clean daily. Somehow, I don't need to add kitty litter as frequently. It's quiet. I don't use the weight right now, it's not useful information at this time, but if she ever got sick it woukd be so useful to know. I really wanted the gray one, but the price is why I went with the m1 light version. I was worried about the light version lacking the oder seal technology and to be honest, it's not missed at all. I waited until I got a gift card and the box went on sale and it was worth the price I paid. Im very happy with this cat box so far.

This still works since I got it ages ago and that's more than I can say for the last one I got. No malfunctions or issues at all. It's open which is good for the cat, I have 3, it doesn't smell because it cleans quick and locks away the dirty litter, and there's no threat of it hurting your cat because it doesn't close while dumping litter and then revolves back.

This works very well for day to day and very pleased. Was stuck upside down on day 5 with only one 12 lb cat. Once the poop drops it does not push forward to utilize the dumping space. I do use thick heavy clay litter and do have to shake the waste forward to get a few more days. Never ran out of litter in the pan. Holds a ton. Did take my cat a few days and treats to want ti try it but now he chooses this one over the box.

I was looking into a litter robot option. My girlfriend has the Litter Robot 4 from Whisker brand and it’s wonderful but godly expensive. I came across this Neakasa brand and I will say - WOW, it’s wonderful for half the price point! I have four cats so this was a much needed purchase. The robot works well and the app is great to allow you to auto clean, calibrate, or even check in to see when your cat used the box. Absolutely love this item and would recommend it to anyone looking for a more cost friendly option with the same results as a higher priced brand. It works just as well!

**UPDATE** Support finally got back with me, but despite all the issues I’ve outlined in this review, the ONLY thing they were willing to take responsibility for was the liner. They are sending an updated mat, that in theory is supposed to fit better. However, regarding the noise of the machine and the very inaccurate weights - they didn’t give me any help. They kept repeating “New mat solve issue for you”. Not sure how a tighter fitting liner to stop urine leaks would affect the noise OR the inaccurate weights. I don’t have it in me to keep fighting them to fix their poorly made product. Please stay away from this company! There have also been new CONFIRMED reports of it HURTING CATS! Despite them releasing numerous firmware updates to “solve the issue”. Please stick with Litter-Robot or PETKIT. These brands have been making these products for over 10 years (Over 20 years for Litter-Robot). DO YOUR RESEARCH!!! Let me preface by saying that I have 5 cats and have tried numerous self cleaning litter boxes since 2019. I purchased the Neakasa M1 Lite to work along side my Litter-Robot 4. My largest cat is 20lbs, and earlier this year he had to wear a cone for a few days and I saw how cramped he was in the LR4. There’s not a whole lot of open self cleaning litter boxes on the market, which is unfortunate since so many cats prefer open boxes over enclosed boxes. Setup was pretty straightforward. No issues with app connectivity or setting up cat profiles. The app is incredibly bare bones and lacks many features that are present in other similar products. The biggest issue I have with the app (and the box) is the weight tracking feature. It’s typically 1-1.5lbs off my cats actual weight (as confirmed by my vet and the LR4, which has very accurate scales). Also, while it does allow you to correct an incorrectly assigned usage, doing so doesn’t update their weight in their respective profiles. There doesn’t appear to be any weighing algorithms in place, so if your cats change weights - you will have to update the profiles manually. Last two issues are the machine has gotten significantly louder over time. It makes me skeptical on the longevity of the product. At the time of writing this review, we’ve had the M1 for about 8 months. Finally - like many other self cleaning litter boxes, this has a “clip-in” style litter mat. This isn’t an ideal design because 9/10 times the mat doesn’t form a watertight seal with the drum allowing urine to collect underneath, and unfortunately the Neakasa has this problem. This isn’t really a regularly cleaned area aside from deep cleans, as it involves emptying the drum and removing the clip-in mat to be able to clean underneath. This makes the box smell quite bad. I’ve attempted to reach out to Neakasa and have received no response - despite being well within the warranty period. All these issues combined with the lack of customer support makes the M1 a pass in my book. Hoping Neakasa will improve the design for future iterations of the M1.

Smaller than I thought it would be (interior dimensions) so not good for a large cat. Quiet. Empties well (but it still smells if you’re nearby). A smoother interior surface might keep anything from sticking to it better - more like Teflon?!? Cats learned to use it quickly. They watch it cycle afterwards like it’s alive! 😀

Muito boa. Os gatos adoraram. Preferem-na a fechada que tenho. Eu tenho 4 gatos e todos agora preferem esta a qualquer outra. Tenho de mudar de saco a cada 3 dias. Mas a app funciona muito bem e sempre me avisa. Pesar os gatos é que tem uma variação de cerca de de 200g o meu gato de 5.200 ele sempre diz que tem 4.900 ou 5kg. Mas tirando isso a app dunciona muito bem e a caixa também. Só é pena que a areia espalha bastante. Agora já passadas umas semanas posso dizer que continuo satisfeita. E que os meus 4 gatos decidiram só ir lá. Por isso tenho de mudar a cada 3 dias, mas é muito facil mudar os sacos, o tapete de silicone tbm twm se mantido ok e precisa de muito pouca limpeza.

I’m really recommending this amazing 🤩 machine 🙌🙌🙌 I have another automatic cat litter machine which for price is good , but this is the class ++++ Definitely will buy another one later 😍 It is worth the price we pay because it has many functions and cleans very well after the cats. And it is good for more than 1 cat and cats with long hair. My cats love it.❤️

One of the best automatic litter boxes on the market

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! This product has literally changed my life, and I am not exaggerating! I dont normally leave reviews, but just had to tell others, what a great difference it will make to every household with cats! I have been a cat owner for over 10 years. Always thought these machines are for lazy people, ‘I mean, how long does it take to just scoop after a cat”. But it has nothing to do with that, its soooo much more! Every guest that has come to my house has said that my house doesnt have that “smelly cat” odor anymore cause the chamber it keeps the waste keeps it odor less! No more going out after each scooping to throw the waste. I dont have to buy some expensice special made cat sand, any brand of clumping bentonite sand works perfectly. And I dont even have to buy sand as frequently as I used to!!! Another amazing thing about it is the app! Very easy to use, notifies you when the waste bag is full and needs to be changed, it notifies when to top up with more sand, it even reminds u to buy litter when ur low on stock! It weighs your cat, and informs you every time your cat uses the box, allowing you to notice very early on if the cat starts losing weight or using the litter box less or more often - sometimes alarming health issues that need to addressed. AND if you have multiple cats at home, it will even tell you which cat has used the box at what exact time. Its just sooo amazing! i cant recommend it enough to every single cat owner! Also note - some of the sellers have terrible after sale customer service. They dont offer warranty and even sometimes sell fake machines! THIS SELLER HAS BEEN GREAT!! They delivered in time without any hassle. They were very polite and professional. They helped me unpack and install the machine. They took time and throughly explained how to use it, how to clean it and how the app works. And as for warranty, they assure you that if any issues comes up, they’ll be just a phone call away!!! That is one of the most impressive response I have ever received, dealing with a private seller on Amazon. Again, I cant explain enough what great impact it has had for our daily life routines. If you have a cat - BUY THIS - you will be writing a equally long recommendation here as well 😅
