Litter Robot Dimensions and Guidelines (with Drawing)

The Litter-Robot is an automated cat litter box that scoops up and removes solid waste. According to the Litter-Robot website, there are currently two distinct Litter-Robot models: the Litter-Robot 3 and the Litter-Robot 3 Connect.

The two Litter-Robot models have identical dimensions. They have a footprint of 24.25 × 27 inches (62 × 69 centimeters) while standing 29.5 inches (75 centimeters). Their oval entryways measure 10.25 × 15.25 inches (26 × 39 centimeters) at their widest points.

For the remainder of this article, I will discuss what the Litter-Robot is and why a cat owner would consider getting one.

What Is a Litter-Robot?

A Litter-Robot is a self-cleaning cat litter box developed by Whisker. It eliminates the need for cat owners to manually get on their knees to scoop and bag cat solid cat waste.

Litter-Robot 3 vs. Litter-Robot 3 Connect

Currently, there are two Litter-Robot models available: the Robot-Litter 3 and the Robot-Litter Connect.

Both models are identical in appearance and size. They both have a footprint of 24.25 × 27 inches (62 × 69 centimeters) while standing 29.5 inches (75 centimeters). Their oval entryways measure 10.25 × 15.25 inches (26 × 39 centimeters) at their widest points.

The only difference between the Litter-Robot 3 and the Litter-Robot 3 Connect is that the latter model has Wi-Fi and app support. Instead of relying on onboard notifications, you can receive push notifications on your smart gadget, informing you how often your cat uses the Litter-Robot 3 Connect, when the waste chamber is full, and when to add fresh litter to the self-cleaning robot.

In every other regard, the Litter-Robot 3 and the Litter-Robot 3 Connect are one and the same.

Unique Features

The Litter-Robot differentiates itself from the dozens of robot litter boxes by coming with high-tech features, such as:

Drawer Indication: Alerts users when the Litter-Robot’s waste chamber needs to be emptied.
Automated Night Light: Shines a bright light at nighttime to guide visually impaired cats during nighttime visits.
Adjustable Cycle Timer: Users can automatically adjust how long the Litter-Robot will begin its spin cycle after a cat steps out of the Globe.
Sleep Mode: Postpones the automatic spin cycle after each use in 8-hour increments
Locked Controls: Users can lock the control panel to stop curious cats from tampering with the settings.

How the Litter-Robot Works

Below, I’ll give a quick description of how the Litter-Robot works.

When your cat exits the Litter-Robot, it starts a countdown timer.
When the countdown timer expires, the inner Globe component will begin to slowly spin, clumping and coating solid cat waste in the litter.
Any unused litter will be sifted and stored in a clean litter chamber for future use.
After the spinning process, all clumped cat waste will be deposited into a waste chamber fitted with activated carbon filters to absorb odors.
The Globe component will return to its Home position, fully cleaned and ready for the next cycle.
When the waste chamber is full, the pet owner will have to empty the chamber and refill the litter as needed.

Litter-Robot Weight Limit

According to Whisker, the Litter-Robot models do not have a maximum weight limit. They are designed for cats that can enter through the oval entryway, meaning that almost any kind of domesticated cat breed can fit inside the Litter-Robot.

Ideal Placement

If you have a Litter-Robot, you can look through the included paperwork to learn about proper placement. If you lost the paperwork, you can look at the Litter-Robot Quick Start Guide to learn the ins and outs of your robot.

Based on the digital manual, the ideal placement of your Litter-Robot should be:

In the same spot as your old/current litter box.
On a firm, level surface.
Indoors and in a cool dry spot of your home.
Nearby a power outlet without touching the wall.
In front of a litter rug without a portion of the rug being underneath the device.
