Our verdict

A budget way to cut scooping, not a premium experience. Running costs add up because of the trays, so over two or three years the gap to a globe-style box narrows.

What we like

  • About a seventh of the price of a Litter-Robot
  • Simple design with few parts to fail
  • Disposable trays mean no litter to scoop or top up

What to know

  • Consumer Reports found small droppings slipped past the rake on the closely related ScoopFree Pro
  • Ongoing cost of replacement trays (about $25 each, per Consumer Reports)
  • Owner rating around 3.6 out of 5 in Google Shopping data
