Petkit Purobot Max Pro 2

WIRED's current top pick thanks to a built-in 1080p AI camera with 210-degree view, multi-cat face recognition, and a self-sealing waste bag that holds up to 17 days of waste. The 43% larger opening vs. its predecessor makes it viable for big cats.

Why we recommend it

If you want the most tech-forward litter disposal system on the market right now, this beats the Litter-Robot 4 on features — the camera and health monitoring are genuinely useful, not just gimmicks.

What the experts said

The waste bag is also bigger: It stores up to 17 days of waste for one cat, and it's self-sealing for easy disposal. The Petkit app sends an alert when the waste basket is full, and two odor eliminator cartridges help to keep smells at bay.

My cats took to this right away (which isn't always the case), and even my large cat was able to use this automatic litter box easily.

Petkit's app still could use some work to be more intuitive, and it's overcrowded with ads.
