Popur X5 Self-Cleaning Litter Box

Kitten threshold not publishedAnti-pinch protectionNo weight limit published

Popur's first open-tray robot, crowdfunded in 2022 and back in stock in the US in late 2026, and about $310 less than the S7 that now heads the line. The tray is 19.7 by 15.7 inches with a 24-inch diagonal, and waste goes into a bagged can behind it instead of a drawer under the cat. Popur rates the can at 30 days for one 10 lb cat, from a test with 4 to 6 visits a day. It publishes no cat weight range, no bin volume and no entry height, and the unit stands 25.3 inches tall while the tray is lifted.

Kittens and small cats

Popur publishes neither the lightest cat this box detects nor a minimum age. Until it does, treat it as unsuitable for automatic cleaning around a kitten and run it by hand.

Detection: sensor type not published. The maker states anti-pinch protection on the moving part, by sensor or by design.

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. Its own claim is up to 30 days for one cat.

Features

  • Open tray, 19.7 x 15.7 in with a 24 in diagonal
  • Separate bagged trash can behind the tray
  • ActiveShield retracts the filter when a cat is detected
  • Takes 8 to 15 kg of clumping clay or tofu litter
  • Rated under 40 dBA

What it does well

  • Open tray with no hood, drum or doorway to close on a cat
  • Waste is stored in a separate can, away from where the cat stands
  • Plain kitchen bags fit the can; Popur's own bags are optional
  • Popur explains how the 30-day claim was tested (one 10 lb cat, 4 to 6 visits a day)
  • Roughly half the price of the Popur S7

What it gives up

  • No cat weight range, bin volume or entry height published
  • 30.4 inches deep, and it needs 25.3 inches of clearance when the tray lifts
  • Needs at least 7 litres of litter in the tray to work properly
  • One-year warranty
  • Marble-style crystal litter will not sift
  • Popur's own listing says the plastic trash bin is not included

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.
