At about $100 on sale, the cheapest motorised box in the catalog is also the most limited. PetSafe's own FAQ caps it at cats up to 15 lb, and it keeps the six-month kitten rule. It has no counter, no light and no app, only a rake, sensors and a disposable crystal tray.

Running cost

Not published

The maker does not publish enough to work out a monthly cost

Best for: One small or medium cat, on the lowest possible upfront spend

Kittens and small cats

PetSafe publishes no detection weight, only a minimum age of 6 months. Run it by hand before then. Below the threshold, a kitten may not register at all, and the box could start a cycle with it inside.

Detection: sensor type not published. The maker does not state any anti-pinch protection.

How minimum weights work, and what to do below them

Days between emptying

The maker publishes no drawer volume, so the days cannot be worked out.
