Petkit Purobot Max Pro 2 vs Smarty Pear Leo's Loo Too

The Leo's Loo Too sends a push notification every single time your cat uses the box. That sounds like overkill until your cat has a urinary blockage — a condition that kills cats within 24-48 hours if untreated — and you catch it because you noticed they visited the box six times without producing anything. The Petkit tracks usage too, but it's more of a dashboard you check than an active alert system. If your cat has a clean bill of health, this difference is academic. If they don't, it's everything.

The Petkit has a built-in 1080p camera with night vision and a 210-degree view. You can actually watch your cat use the box, see if they're straining, check their posture, and review footage later. The Leo's Loo Too has no camera at all — its 'monitoring' is entirely sensor-based weight and visit data. For most cat owners, being able to see inside the box is more useful than a spreadsheet of visit timestamps.

The Petkit's 43% larger opening compared to its predecessor, combined with a 22 lb weight limit, means even large Maine Coons and Ragdolls can use it comfortably. WIRED's reviewer specifically confirmed their large cat had no issues. The Leo's Loo Too's barrel is cramped for cats over 12 lbs — that's not a fringe case, that's a significant chunk of the cat population. If you have a big cat, this isn't a minor inconvenience, it's a dealbreaker.

The Leo's Loo Too costs $700 flat. The Petkit runs $441-$560. That's a $140-$260 premium for a product that loses on camera, loses on large-cat compatibility, and ties or loses on most other practical dimensions. The Leo's Loo Too's UV cleaning and radar safety system are genuinely good features, but they don't close a gap that wide. You'd need to be deeply committed to the health-monitoring use case to make that math work.
