Smarty Pear Leo's Loo Covered Automatic Self-Cleaning Cat Litter Box

So I just got this a little bit ago after my litter robot stopped working, one of the main reasons for the switch was because my friend has one and recommended it, at first I was concerned I was down grading from my litter robot, but that is far from the truth. This little machine is amazing, it’s small, works effectively and a bonus is that it looks cute. **super easy to clean, the opening is small so when the cat gets out it doesn’t track a lot of litter outside, and saves on litter. The only two negatives comments are that The catch tray is small so you will have to empty it often and the trash bags (pear) don’t fit the machine as good as I would have imagined seeing as that was the bags So I just got this a little bit ago after my litter robot stopped working, one of the main reasons for the switch was because my friend has one and recommended it, at first I was concerned I was down grading from my litter robot, but that is far from the truth.

We love the Leo's Loo! Our kitties were kind of shy when I first set it up, the counter had flipped to 00 again with their hesitation sniffs and brave attempts to bridge the unknown. Even when it was in the middle of the rotation cycle it would stop the 4 or 5 times our curious cats stuck their heads in to investigate. So for the first week the Leo's Loo got a work out... and we didn't hear a thing-Unless you were in the room, or manually pushed the button, you don't hear it. Its very quiet. There also isn't the litter box stank. The design is cute and I love the fact that you can change the nightlight colors. The only weird thing is the clips for the bag in the poo drawer..

I went to change the bag and forgot that they were inside the bag and pulled it out and ended up ripping the bag and then had to dig for the clips.. which was a moment of eww. But that was one little hiccup in an overall great experience so far. I have already recommended The Leo's Loo to my friends, and I would recommend it to anyone. … more

I make 5 specific comments below, I did write a bit much...I have used every type of litter box out there, ranging from $10 disposable trays, $60 Booda igloo, and the stylish $110 Kitty Go Go, the $150 littermaid, and the $250 petsafe scoopfree. I am terrible about cleaning the litter box, I just forget and that is sooo unfair to the poor cats! So I have tried all varieties. Leo's Loo is fantastic. It is simply designed and idiot proof. It does not have all the fancy app stuff like the $700 Litter-Loo, but it does everything a I expect from "automatic": 1. It is super quiet, the only time I know it is on is when the cats sit to watch it. 2. There is some tracking, but no more I make 5 specific comments below, I did write a bit much...I have used every type of litter box out there, ranging from $10 disposable trays, $60 Booda igloo, and the stylish $110 Kitty Go Go, the $150 littermaid, and the $250 petsafe scoopfree.

I have 2 small cats (9lbs) and I empty the drawer 2 times a week, it is not full when I do. 4. It has a one year warranty, and in looking at the parts, there is very little to break, it is like a concrete mixer drum, it just slowly spins and sifts, of course you have to clean it every once and awhile, they recommend once every 4 months. 5. I think one caveat would be if you have an incontinent cat. That is keeping in mind that regardless of what ind of litter box your older cat needs, there may be more of a mess issue than with younger healthy cats. This box is expensive, but I think if you average out the costs of other methods this one is not unreasonably priced. You will save on litter, and you can use whatever clumping litter you want. Those who despise clumping litter may have a harder time, but I think the grate holes may be large enough for some of the pellet litter, though it may void your warranty. Hopefully my review will have some helpful nuggets of information for someone! … more

I've struggled to find a litter box I like. I HATE traditional uncovered boxes, they smell, litter gets absolutely everywhere, the dog gets into it. So I had purchased a generic igloo-style litter box that was covered and the dog was still getting into it and I would forget to clean it as often as I needed to because it was covered so the soiled litter was out of sight out of mind. Now I don't even have to think about scooping litter and constantly cleaning it, the puppy vending machine is no more, and it's no longer an eyesore I move around the house trying to find the best place to hide it- I have this bad boy front and center out in the open because I love the way it looks.

My cat immediately used it after setting it up too. I'm SO glad I get to enjoy the scoop-free pet-parenting life! Also the scale is an awesome bonus feature because my cat likes to eat even more than I do and he was a bit of a chonk so we've been having to restrict his diet and keep an eye on his weight and the Loo makes it super easy. … more

We have 2 cats and I use expensive liter and clean the liter box twice a day and the box always stinks. I've tried everything to keep it smelling clean. Finally ordered this machine and so far we LOVE IT. Its cheaper, works great and has a color changing nightlight. Game changer! Packaged well and received perfect from FedEx. Its a WINNER!!!!!

We’ve used Leo’s loo for over 2 weeks and have been very pleased. It was easy to set up-drawer clips required a little care. We started with some litter from the old box and the cat adapted immediately. I started on manual and switched to automatic after one night. Our cat thinks it is his new toy and makes extra visits by reaching in to scratch the litter from the outside—the loo knows not to rotate when there is weight on the entrance. I empty about every 3 days (1 cat) sometimes before the ‘full’ indicator comes on. Weight number is only on when cat is inside. Check visit number by pressing entrance ring. A great improvement over scooping litter.

I love my cats, but my family is horrible about cat litter management. After a couple months of considering I finally bought this, in hopes that litter could all but take care of itself. And it does! The loo is amazing! My first cat adjusted to it on day one, my second cat took about three weeks to trust it. I didn’t clean the standard litter box and he finally abandoned it. I’ve emptied the drawer three times in three weeks. Admittedly it is big and needs a power outlet, but I wish I would’ve bought it sooner!

Okay I will say first thing that I have no regrets after a big investment like this. When I ordered the Leo’s Loo I also ordered x2 17lb boxes of Tidy Cats lightweight cat litter and I think those go for like $23 a box? Anyway, I am still going through the first box, one more round and it’s gone, but still! I never ever remember going this slowly through cat litter with the traditional litter box. I’m guessing because the machine literally rotates the waste 10 min after the machine has sensed that your cat had visited and done their business and it isn’t just sitting there for who knows how long before you get to cleaning it out yourself stinking up the rest of the litter, I didn’t even think Okay I will say first thing that I have no regrets after a big investment like this.

As far as your cat adjusting, yeah that might be a thing but my cat is literally a scaredy cat and I was even worried about it with her but she pulled through when there wasn’t anywhere else to go to the bathroom, she would always run away from it real fast when getting done lol but she’s over that now she just looks at it when it starts moving instead of creeping up to it sniffing like it’s going to come after her like she did in the beginning. There is also something that is annoying about it but it’s definitely not a deal breaker; so when the tray is full it will do an obnoxious long loud beep until you empty it but I also noticed that you have to hold down the power button to turn it off and to hold it down again to turn it back on just so you can reset it from thinking it’s still full. I definitely recommend this especially for those who love their cats and want to keep their house less stinky, it’s worth it in my book. … more

I was so excited for this to come in because I hate scooping litter. During setup, my cats were super intrigued. Pros: I don’t have to scoop Cats always have clean litter It looks nice Reduced odors Cons: Poop gets smeared on the wall and is gross to clean The bags don’t fit right The drawer is kind of difficult to open and close It doesn’t seem to lessen litter tracking My cats still prefer their regular boxes And I think the weight sensor on mine is messed up because the weights are incorrect compared to my home scale and the vet scale, and any slight touch makes the weight go up from 0 and doesn’t go back down after you touch it, so if I pull the drawer out or if the cat bumps into I was so excited for this to come in because I hate scooping litter.

I think it’s a product that still needs to be perfected and it probably wasn’t worth $400, but it could be after some tweaking … more

I had a cat adopt us two weeks before getting a new puppy! Litter box was a disaster - couldn't keep puppy out of it or find a place kitty could get to it easily away from puppy. Leo's Loo was a life saver. Just emptied the tray for the first time - so much nicer. Puppy is intrigued with the rotating of the drum ...lol
