Real-world performance
Real-World Performance
Raking Efficiency and Odor Control The crystal litter does a brilliant job of dehydrating solid waste and locking in urine smells. The mechanical rake does a consistent job of sweeping the solids into the hidden bin.
Onboard Features and Daily Use The onboard health counter is a great way to monitor usage trends at a glance without needing a smartphone app, though it provides less data than premium app boxes.

Is it suitable for large cats or side-peers?
