How to choose a smart automatic cat litter box? Catlink, Air Radish, Petree, and Pepe, which one is better
Recently, windows have been installed on the balcony of my house, so that the balcony is completely enclosed and becomes an indoor space. The previous litter box had a bit of an odor, probably because only specific Pengruntu cat litter could be used. Therefore, I decided to buy four automatic cat litter boxes under 1,000 yuanThey are "Catlink", "Air Radish", "Petree", and "Pex Max". Today, I will make a detailed comparison from the five aspects of "design structure", "safety", "cleaning effect", "convenience" and "deodorization effect" to see which one is more worth buying.
1.Design the structure
The "Catlink" and "Air Carrots" feature the popular all-in-one design, with the toilet and collection box in a ball cabin.
"petree" is an upper and lower split design,The "Little Pety Max" is a split design on the left and right, separating the toilet from the collection box.
The benefit of the all-in-one and left-right split design is that the entrance threshold is lower, making it easier for cats to enter.
In terms of interior space, the "Little Pex Max" has a capacity of 76 liters, which is more suitable for large cats. The "Catlink Xiaobai" has a capacity of 65 liters, which is suitable for cats under 12 pounds。On the other hand, "air radish" and "petree" will be a little more crowded.
In terms of the capacity of the collection box, both the "Catlink Xiaobai" and the "Petle Max" are 7 liters and can be used for 5-7 days.
And the "air radish" is 42 liters, "petree" is 6 liters, which may not be enough for a multi-cat household.
In addition, the "catlink white" also comes with a wheel at the bottom, which is easier to clean up and can be counted as a plus.
In general, in terms of design structure,I recommend "Catlink Xiaobai" and "Pex Max".Both litter boxes have relatively large interior spaces and collection boxes, making them suitable for multi-cat households.
2.Security
In the actual test, I found that the "Catlink", "Air Carrot" and "Little Pet Max" all use entrance sensing and gravity sensing, which will only activate when the cat enters or stays in the litter box.
The "petree", on the other hand, has a larger, more sensitive sensing function, but almost no gravity sensing.
So in terms of sensing, I think these four litter boxes are safe.
All things considered, in terms of security,I think the integrated "catlink white" and "air radish" will be more reliable.
3.Cleanup effect
"Catlink Xiaobai" is better able to wrap soft stools, and through the gradual burial method of rotating back and forth, the waste is finally transferred to the back of the collection box and rotated back.
The procedure used by "Air Radish" is actually similar, except that the direction is to rotate left and right. However, its collection box is not sealed, so it is a little difficult to clean up, and occasionally a small amount of cat litter will spill through the crack of the door.
The "petree" rotates left and right, and the garbage ends up in the collection box at the bottom.
The "Pex Max", on the other hand, slides the garbage into the collection box on the side through a slide structure that rotates back and forth.
The principle is similar, but I think the progressive burial function used by "catlink Xiaobai" is very necessary, after all, it is very troublesome to deal with soft tools.
4.Convenience
I think it mainly depends on whether it can be applied to a variety of cat litter, whether it has one-click cleaning and whether it is convenient to pour sand. And whether it is troublesome to replace the garbage bag.
Tested using mixed tofu sand,There was no sand leakage in the four cat litter boxes, indicating that bentonite, mixed sand and tofu sand are all applicable.
All four litter boxes have a one-click cleaning function, and there is no problem in using them. However, the "Little Pex Max" needs to manually install a baffle every time it is cleaned, which is a point to consider.
As for replacing the garbage bag, the process of the four machines is roughly the same, but the "air radish" will be more prominent, only ordinary garbage bags are needed, and the other three are more troublesome, and you need to buy special garbage bags, which can be seen in this regard, "air radish" is more convenient and saves money.
In terms of disassembly and cleaning, "Catlink Xiaobai" and "Air Radish" can be taken out for washing by removing the side cover.
In addition to the collection box, the "Little Pet MAX" also needs to clean the collection bin; In addition to the collection bin, the "petree" also needs to move the entire shell, which is relatively laborious.
All things considered, in terms of convenience, the integrated design of "catlink white" and "air radish" is more convenient.
5.Deodorizing effect
In terms of taste, although all four litter boxes claim to have a sealed and deodorizing function, the collection boxes of "Catlink Xiaobai", "Air Radish" and "Little Pety Max" can be completely closed, while the collection boxes of "Petree" have some gaps.
"Catlink Xiaobai" is equipped with deodorizing gel, which has no peculiar smell and has a good deodorizing effect.
"petree" uses plant essential oils to remove the smell, and the taste is relatively fresh, but the coverage is small.
"Little Pet MAX" uses a deodorant small square, and the fragrance is strong, and the whole room can smell it.
The "air radish", on the other hand, relies only on sealing to keep odors out.
On the whole, "Catlink Xiaobai" and "Xiaopei MAX" both use double-layer measures in terms of deodorization effect, which I think is more reliable.
6.Summary
The four cat litter boxes listed above are all smart cat litter boxes with low cost performance within 1,000 yuan.
The "catlink" is small in size, but the internal space and collection box capacity are relatively large, suitable for large cats or multi-cat households, whether it is the cleaning effect, convenience, safety or deodorization effect, I think it performs well.
The "Little Pety Max" is slightly larger, and the internal space and collection box capacity are also suitable for large cats or multiple cats to share.
It's also excellent in all aspects, but the baffle needs to be manually installed when cleaning, which is a point to consider.
The overall size of the "air radish", including the capacity of the collection box, is small, and there is no problem with the experience in other aspects except for deodorization, which is suitable for families with only one cat.
"Petree" is a relatively traditional form of automatic litter box, which automatically collects clumped cat litter very cleanly and does not cause waste.
