Meowant MW-SC02 vs Meowant MW-SC09 Plus
Both makers say their sensor detects cats from 3.3 lb, so the kitten threshold does not separate them. With two cats the Meowant MW-SC09 Plus's 6.7-litre drawer lasts about 4 days to the Meowant MW-SC02's 2. For a large cat, the Meowant MW-SC09 Plus is rated to 30 lb and the Meowant MW-SC02 to 22. Every other published figure for both is in the table, with the rows where they differ tinted.

Meowant MW-SC02: what it gives up
- A 3.6-litre waste bin is the smallest published here, about five days for one cat by this site's arithmetic
- Two entry heights on one page, 6.8 inches in the description and 6.1 in the spec table
- 22 lb ceiling
- Liner changes every 3–5 days per Meowant
Meowant MW-SC09 Plus: what it gives up
- About $650, more than several better-documented rivals
- The 14-day claim on a 6.7-litre bin is far ahead of this site's arithmetic
- Two different noise figures on one page
- A '2-Year Warranty' badge beside '12 months of after-sales service' in the small print, so read the terms
