The catch
PETKIT PuraMax 2 Basic Bundle
It is not for cats younger than six months or below 3.3 pounds.
Side by side
PuraMax 2 vs Petlibro Luma: Luma recordings need a paid service, while PuraMax saves space with no camera
Quick verdict
You get a smaller, lighter, camera-free box with PuraMax 2. Luma gives you an open entry, live video and 5 GHz connectivity, though it needs more clearance, and recordings need a paid service.
Before you buy
Why, and what it costs you
Four more liters of waste fit in Luma
The drawer holds about 57 percent more.
Where this comes from
11 minus 7 equals 4 liters. Dividing by 7 gives 57.1 percent. Clump volume and cat count make a direct days-between-emptying prediction impossible.
The catch
PETLIBRO Luma Smart Litter Box
Live viewing is free, but automated waste analysis and recorded video history both require a paid Video Cloud plan.

Differences you will notice
Four more liters of waste fit in Luma
The drawer holds about 57 percent more.
How we worked this out
11 minus 7 equals 4 liters. Dividing by 7 gives 57.1 percent. Clump volume and cat count make a direct days-between-emptying prediction impossible.
About eleven pounds more comes with the camera model
Luma is about 50 percent heavier.
How we worked this out
33.01 minus 22 equals 11.01 pounds. Dividing by 22 gives 50.0 percent. The PuraMax weight is approximate.
Luma placement involves more than the bare body
With four inches of clearance, the width it requires grows to about 31.3 inches.
How we worked this out
23.3 plus 4 plus 4 equals 31.3 inches. The manufacturer calls for at least four inches around the unit.

Spec by spec
Where they really differ
| Spec | PETKIT PuraMax 2 Basic Bundle | PETLIBRO Luma Smart Litter Box | In practice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Camera | None | Built-in camera with live viewing | Video affects what you can see and how private the room is. |
| Wi-Fi | 2.4 GHz | 2.4 and 5 GHz | Either documented band works with Luma. |
| Waste volume | 7 liters | 11 liters | Luma gives more storage, though that doesn't guarantee longer intervals in every household. |
| Cabinet height | 21.73 inches | 28.1 inches | Luma stands considerably taller. |
| Weight | About 22 pounds | 33.01 pounds | By published empty weight, PuraMax 2 is the easier one to lift. |
| Recording plan | No built-in video | Video history and advanced analysis need Video Cloud AI | Being connected doesn't mean the recording is free. |
Trade-offs
What each pick costs you
With PETKIT PuraMax 2 Basic Bundle
- K3 Smart Spray does not work with this exact basic bundle.
With PETLIBRO Luma Smart Litter Box
- You can't fill it with crystal, pine or ultra-fine litter, and the floor under it has to be hard and level.
Change of plan
When the answer changes
You want records without a camera and a cat-size range that goes up to 25 pounds
Neither model fits. Weight tracking and a larger published cat range come together in Litter-Robot 4, which is still a globe.
Decision guide
How to decide
Smaller, lighter and camera-free describes PuraMax 2. Luma offers an open entry, live video and 5 GHz connectivity, at the price of more clearance and a paid service for recordings.
Privacy in a shared room
PuraMax 2 has no camera yet still logs visits and weight. Luma brings helpful visual context, so look at its camera view and cloud settings before you put it in a bedroom or a room other people use.
A cat that distrusts enclosed equipment
An open entry on Luma could be easier for a cat to approach. Each cat decides for itself, so hold on to the familiar box while you introduce either machine. A larger opening is no reason to skip the weight and age rules for adult cats.
Subscriptions and network setup
Live viewing on Luma works without the video subscription, while recorded visits and advanced analysis are separate services. Because PuraMax 2 needs 2.4 GHz, make sure that band is switched on before you count on app setup working.
What this page can’t tell you
- Hands-on testing of noise, odor and cat acceptance was not carried out.
- Waste-storage day figures are estimates from the manufacturer and cannot stand in for daily checks. App records are not a way to diagnose illness.
By the numbers
What the data shows
What we found across the automatic litter boxes we compare, plus the checked facts behind each finding.
How many fit
None of the 24 models checked meets all of “Keep cameras out of my home”, “Watch litter box video”, “Get online over 5GHz Wi-Fi”, and “Skip the enclosed globe”, so the pick goes to the closest practical compromise.
0 models fit, out of 24 checkedShow the facts and the math
