Description
Open-design automatic boxes are easier to position when a cat needs visibility and space, but many of them stop at basic cleanup automation. This model goes further by combining the friendlier open layout with smart health-monitor positioning and quieter daily operation.
SmartPaw selected it because it offers a cleaner bridge between convenience and monitoring. For households already paying attention to bathroom changes, the extra insight angle gives the page more substance than a generic open-top box alone.

Best for
- Cat homes that want an open, approachable automatic box with added monitoring value.
- Owners watching for litter-habit changes but still wanting less frequent scooping.
- Shoppers who want a feature-rich self-cleaning box without jumping into the largest size tier.
Placement and setup blueprint
- Use a quieter corner with enough side clearance so the open design stays inviting rather than exposed to traffic.
- Keep the box on a hard floor so sensors and waste movement stay more reliable.
- Leave enough room around the entry so cats can inspect the interior before committing to the transition.
Pre-flight checklist
- Set the litter level correctly and confirm the app connection before depending on automated cycles.
- Run a few supervised clean cycles so you can confirm both the sound level and pause timing feel appropriate.
- Review the first week of monitoring data to establish a normal baseline for your cat household.
Care and setup notes
- Wipe the open-entry zone during weekly maintenance so the approach stays clean and approachable.
- Clear sensor points and moving surfaces of litter dust so safety responses stay dependable.
- Treat the monitoring feature like a routine log by checking for changes instead of only watching the cleanup status.

“Litter box has saved me time and money and both my senior and baby cat loves it. It’s easy to clean and a great upgrade from the petsafe crystal litter box. It’s pretty easy to build took about 15-20 minutes but it’s sturdy and can hold my two big babies”

“Works great! Our cat is new to the household so we thought she would get scared but she didn’t! At first, we set it up so that it doesn’t auto clean after our cat went in it and just hit the clean button once she wasn’t around”
