Recently, windows were installed on my balcony, making the balcony completely enclosed and turned into an indoor space. The previous cat litter box had a bit of an odor, probably because it could only use specific Penrun clay cat litter. Therefore, I decided to buy four automatic litter box cats priced under 1,000 yuan, namely "Catlink Xiaobai", "AIRROBO", "Petree" and "PETKIT Max". Today, I will make a detailed comparison of four aspects: "design structure", "safety", "cleaning effect" and "deodorizing effect" to see which one is more worthy of purchase.

1. Design Structure

"Catlink Xiaobai" and "AIRROBO" adopt the popular integrated design, which puts the toilet and collection box in a ball cabin.

"Petree" has an upper and lower split design, while "PETKITMax" has a left and right split design, which separates the toilet and collection box.

The advantage of the integrated and left-right split design is that the entrance threshold is lower, making it easier for cats to enter.

In terms of internal space, "PETKIT Max" has a capacity of 76 liters, which is more suitable for large cats. The "Catlink Xiaobai" has a capacity of 65 liters and is suitable for cats under 12 pounds. "Air Carrot" and "Petree" will appear slightly crowded.

In terms of collection box capacity, both “Catlink Xiaobai” and “PETKIT Max” are 7 liters, which can be used for 5-7 days.

The "AIRROBO" is 4.2 liters and the "Petree" is 6 liters, which may not be enough for families with multiple cats.

In addition, "Catlink Xiaobai" also has wheels on the bottom, which makes cleaning more convenient, which can be counted as a bonus.

Generally speaking, in terms of design structure, I recommend "Catlink Xiaobai" and "PETKIT Max". The internal space and collection box of these two cat litter boxes are relatively large, making them suitable for multi-cat households.

2. Security

In the actual test, I found that "Catlink Xiaobai", "AIRROBO" and "PETKIT Max" all use entrance sensing and gravity sensing, which will only activate when the cat enters or stays in the litter box.

The "Petree" has a larger range and more sensitive sensing function, but almost no gravity sensing.

So in terms of induction, I think these four cat litter boxes are all safe.

All things considered, in terms of safety, I think the integrated "Catlink Xiaobai" and "AIRROBO" will be more reliable.

3. Cleanup effect

"Catlink Xiaobai" can better wrap soft feces. Through the gradual burial method of front and back rotation, the garbage is finally transferred to the back of the collection box and then rotated back.

The procedure used by "AIRROBO" is similar, except that the direction is left and right rotation. However, its collection box is not sealed, so it takes a little effort to clean, and occasionally a small amount of cat litter will spill out from the crack in the door.

"Petree" rotates left and right, and the garbage eventually falls into the collection box at the bottom.

"PETKIT Max" uses a slide structure that rotates forward and backward, and the garbage slides into the collection box on the side.

The principles are similar, but I think the progressive burying function adopted by "Catlink Newbie" is very necessary. After all, dealing with soft stools is very troublesome.

4. Deodorizing effect

In terms of smell, although the four cat litter boxes all claim to have a sealed and deodorizing function, the collection boxes of "Catlink Xiaobai", "AIRROBO" and "PETKIT Max" can all be completely closed, while the collection box of "Petree" has some gap.

"Catlink Xiaobai" is equipped with a deodorizing gel, which has no odor and has a good deodorizing effect.

"Petree" uses plant essential oils to eliminate odors. The smell is relatively fresh, but the coverage is smaller.

"PETKIT Max" uses a deodorizing formula with a strong fragrance that can be smelled throughout the room.

"AIRROBO", on the other hand, relies solely on sealing to isolate odors.

Taken together, both "Catlink Xiaobai" and "PETKIT Max" adopt double-layer measures in terms of deodorizing effect, which I think is more reliable.

5. Conclusion

The four cat litter boxes listed above are all smart cat litter boxes that cost less than 1,000 yuan and are highly cost-effective.

"Catlink Xiaobai" is small in size, but has relatively large internal space and collection box capacity. It is suitable for big cats or multi-cat households. I think it performs well in terms of cleaning effect, convenience, safety, and deodorizing effect. outstanding. pethuhou.com
