ELS PET Orbitie

Automate from ~2.5 lb / ~3 monthsAnti-pinch protectionNo weight limit published

ELS PET's globe claims a lot for its drawer: 12 litres and up to 20 days for one cat, level with PETKIT's Purobot Ultra for the longest one-cat claim among the drums here. Four weight sensors decide when the cat has left, and infrared beams watch the drawer mouth for anything that could be pinched. The company says there is no weight limit; it does not print a maximum.

Kittens and small cats

ELS PET says the sensor detects cats from 2.5 lb. At the usual rate of about a pound a month, that means leaving automatic cleaning off until roughly 3 months. Below the threshold, a kitten may not register at all, and the box could start a cycle with it inside.

Detection: weight, infrared / radar. The maker states anti-pinch protection on the moving part, by sensor or by design.

12 L ÷ (cats × 0.7 L a day). The maker claims up to 20 days for one cat, within reach of the arithmetic. Where 0.7 L comes from.

Features

  • 12-litre drawer, up to 20 days claimed for one cat
  • Four weight sensors and dual infrared beams
  • 12 × 12 inch entry
  • Kitten Mode for cats under 2.5 lb
  • Rated 35 dB with a sleep mode

What it does well

  • A 12-litre drawer at about $360 is a lot of capacity for the money
  • Infrared beams specifically watch the drawer opening for pinching
  • Rated 35 dB with a sleep mode for night-time quiet
  • Child lock available in the app

What it gives up

  • The 20-day claim for one cat is a little beyond what 12 litres holds by this site's arithmetic
  • No published maximum cat weight, only a 'no limit' statement
  • A 12-inch square entry is narrower than Whisker's or CATLINK's

The two lists above are drawn from the maker’s own pages, manuals and prices, not from owner reports. Where owner discussion has been read it appears in its own section below, so the two are never mistaken for each other.
