Decision guide
How to choose for this job
Detailed multi-cat records in a globe point to LR4, and an open top for larger cats points to M1.
What the decision rests on
Neither has a camera. Identifying cats by weight gets less clear when they weigh the same. LR4 supports four cats, and M1 supports three.
Why Litter-Robot 4 with Step and Waste Drawer Liners takes the lead
Its cabinet is 22 inches wide, and 3 pounds is the automatic cycle minimum.
If another model fits better
Neakasa M1 is the choice when what decides it is keeping a camera out of my home.
What this page can’t tell you
- No promise of cat acceptance can be made.
- Odor shifts with litter, diet and how often you clean.
- Very young kittens may call for manual operation.
