PetPivot
PetPivot's November 2026 box costs $149, the lowest price of any rotating unit listed. Six infrared pairs watch the entrance, four Hall sensors track the chamber's position, and a mechanical limiter stops it 30 degrees short of closing. Automatic mode is for cats over 3 lb and older than 6 months, and the box is rated for up to three cats. Like the AutoScooper 11 it runs without Wi-Fi or an app. The entrance sits 12.4 inches up, and a front step is included.

PetPivot says the sensor detects cats from 3 lb and sets a minimum age of 6 months. At the usual rate of about a pound a month, that means leaving automatic cleaning off until roughly 6 months. Below the threshold, a kitten may not register at all, and the box could start a cycle with it inside.
Detection: infrared / radar. The maker states anti-pinch protection on the moving part, by sensor or by design.
How minimum weights work, and what to do below them8 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 PetPivot AutoScooper 12 Lite yet. This section stays empty until there is something real to put in it.
