The catch
BISSELL CleanWell Self-Cleaning Litter Box
This one's cleaning cycle runs about 60 dB, so the quietest automatic boxes in this set beat it on noise.
Side by side
BISSELL 4393 vs Furbulous FB001 Compared: CleanWell’s waste interval assumes one cat, and Furbulous takes less width
Quick verdict
A familiar pet-care brand and a published 20-day waste interval for one cat make the case for CleanWell. The narrower 17.7-inch body makes the case for Furbulous.
