Meowant
At 19.3 inches square, the SC02 takes up less floor than almost anything else here while still offering a 75-litre drum. It is rated for cats from 3.3 to 22 lb and over 4 months, and it accepts tofu and mixed litters as long as the pieces are under about 15 mm. Meowant does not publish its bin volume.

Meowant says the sensor detects cats from 3.3 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 states anti-pinch protection on the moving part, by sensor or by design.
How minimum weights work, and what to do below themThe maker publishes no drawer volume, so the days cannot be worked out.
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.
