!!Please be aware that some of this video will be upsetting!!
It's essential that you understand that this video is about ONE specific design of Chinese imports that are deadly. The VAST majority of self-cleaning litter boxes are incredibly safe.
AVOID generic machines and stick to established brands, ideally with a history of making them. Whisker's Litter Robot machines have been around for 25 years. I bought my first one in 2018, and for the last 2 and a half years, my cats have been using two Litter-Robot 4s. I trust them without question. I wouldn't risk their lives if they weren't safe.
The best machines that I've tested are linked below. All are entirely safe. I also show many other safe ones in the video. Please check out my full reviews of many different ones; they are the most comprehensive reviews on YouTube.
Thank you.
