Meowant
Meowant's original drum steps down just 4.8 inches to its entry, low enough for a short-legged or arthritic cat. The trade-offs are an 18 lb ceiling, a 6-litre bin and no published sensor breakdown beyond a count of ten. Meowant rates it for cats from 3 lb and over 4 months old, and asks for a liner change every three to five days.

18 lb
Best for: A senior or short-legged cat under 18 lb
Meowant says the sensor detects cats from 3 lb and sets a minimum age of 4 months. At the usual rate of about a pound a month, that means leaving automatic cleaning off until roughly 4 months. Below the threshold, a kitten may not register at all, and the box could start a cycle with it inside.
Detection: weight. The maker does not state any anti-pinch protection.
How minimum weights work, and what to do below them6 L ÷ (cats × 0.7 L a day). Where 0.7 L comes from.
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.
No owner discussion has been read for the Meowant MW-SC01 yet. This section stays empty until there is something real to put in it.
