Automatic Cat Litter Box

Spend less time scooping with a PaWz automatic cat litter box designed to separate waste after your cat leaves the tray. Our AutoClean range includes three self-cleaning litter boxes with different footprints, waste capacities and cat-size requirements, making it easier to choose a model that suits your cat and your home.

Compare AutoClean Lite, Pro and Max below, then check the individual product specifications before ordering. Cat weight, entry size, waste capacity and minimum weight requirements vary between models.

Automatic vs Traditional Cat Litter Boxes

A traditional litter tray requires regular manual scooping. A self-cleaning cat litter box uses sensors and an automatic cleaning mechanism to separate clumped waste and move it into a separate compartment after use.

This reduces everyday scooping, but it does not make the litter box maintenance-free. You will still need to:

• empty the waste compartment
• top up or replace litter
• clean removable parts
• replace bags or liners where required
• check sensors and moving areas
• follow the cleaning instructions for your model

If you prefer a standard tray, enclosed design or other non-automatic option, browse our cat litter boxes.

AutoClean Lite – Compact Automatic Litter Box

The AutoClean Lite Automatic Self Cleaning Cat Litter Box has the smallest footprint in the AutoClean range.

It measures 44 × 53 × 63cm and includes an 8L waste compartment, app control, weight sensors and litter-volume alerts. Current product guidance lists a 1–8kg cat-weight range and states that it is not suitable for kittens under 1kg or shorter than 10cm.

Its compact footprint can make it useful for homes where floor space matters.

AutoClean Pro – Everyday Smart Litter Box

The AutoClean Pro Automatic Self Cleaning Cat Litter Box measures 54.5 × 54.5 × 59.5cm and has a 27cm entry.

It supports 2.4GHz Wi-Fi app control, automatic cleaning after the cat leaves and UV cleaning. Its waste compartment holds 4L.

The current product guidance states that the Pro is not designed for kittens under 1kg. For larger cats, compare your cat's size with the entry and internal space rather than relying only on weight.

AutoClean Max – Larger Automatic Cat Litter Box

The AutoClean Max Automatic Self Cleaning Cat Litter Box is the largest AutoClean option.

It measures 60 × 60 × 59cm, has an 8L rubbish container and is currently specified for cats weighing approximately 1.5–13kg.

AutoClean Max includes app control, automatic waste separation, UV cleaning and safety mechanisms designed to pause operation when a cat is detected inside.

For a larger cat or multi-cat household, compare the entry size, interior space and waste capacity with your needs before ordering.

What Litter Works in an Automatic Litter Box?

PaWz AutoClean models are designed for clumping cat litter. Current product guidance includes plant-based, mixed and bentonite clumping litters, with individual models having their own litter-size recommendations.

Clumping litter is important because the cleaning mechanism needs formed clumps to separate used litter from clean litter.

You can compare compatible options in our cat litter collection, including PaWz tofu cat litter.

Always check the instructions for your exact AutoClean model before changing litter type.

Safety Sensors and Minimum Cat Weight

Automatic litter boxes rely on sensors and safety systems to determine when a cat is using the unit and when a cleaning cycle can run.

Minimum weight requirements matter because a very small kitten may not meet the operating requirements of a particular model.

Current PaWz guidance is:

• AutoClean Lite: not suitable below 1kg or under 10cm in height
• AutoClean Pro: not designed for kittens below 1kg
• AutoClean Max: designed for cats approximately 1.5–13kg and not suitable below its minimum requirement

Always follow the product manual and current model instructions.

If your kitten is below the stated requirement, use a suitable traditional litter tray until the kitten meets the product guidance.

App Control and Usage Monitoring

All three current AutoClean models offer smart connectivity.

Depending on the model, app functions may include cleaning controls, alerts, litter-level information, usage records or other monitoring features.

Usage records can help you notice changes in your cat's normal litter-box routine, but the litter box should not be treated as a medical diagnostic device.

Contact your veterinarian if you notice significant or persistent changes in urination, bowel habits, appetite or behaviour.

Choosing an Automatic Litter Box for a Large Cat

Do not choose an automatic litter box from maximum weight alone.

Check:

• entry opening
• internal space
• cat weight range
• your cat's body length and build
• ability to enter, turn and position comfortably

AutoClean Max currently has the highest stated cat-weight range in the PaWz AutoClean collection, while smaller models may be more suitable where space is limited.

Automatic Litter Boxes for Multi-Cat Homes

An automatic litter box can reduce daily scooping in a multi-cat household, but more cats also mean faster waste accumulation.

Consider:

• waste-bin capacity
• litter capacity
• cat-size compatibility
• how frequently the unit will be used
• how often you can inspect and empty the waste compartment

Do not assume one automatic litter box will suit every multi-cat household. The number of litter areas required depends on your cats and home setup.

Setting Up Your Automatic Litter Box

When introducing a new unit:

1. Place it on a stable, level surface.
2. Add a compatible litter according to the product instructions.
3. Connect the unit and complete the initial setup.
4. Pair the app where applicable.
5. Let your cat inspect the box without forcing them inside.
6. If your cat is cautious, begin with the unit switched off or in manual mode.
7. Move to automatic operation once your cat is comfortable and the product's minimum requirements are met.

Cats can react differently to a new tray, so allow time for adjustment.

Cleaning and Ongoing Costs

Self-cleaning does not mean zero maintenance.

Depending on your AutoClean model, ongoing care may include:

• waste bags
• replacement liners
• litter
• cleaning removable parts
• compatible odour-control consumables where applicable

Check the waste drawer regularly rather than waiting for it to become overfilled.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does an automatic cat litter box work?

An automatic cat litter box detects when your cat uses the tray and runs a cleaning cycle after the cat has left. Depending on the model, the unit rotates, sifts or separates clumped waste and moves it into a separate waste compartment.

What litter should I use in a self-cleaning litter box?

PaWz AutoClean models are designed for compatible clumping litter. Plant-based, mixed, bentonite and tofu clumping litters may suit different models, but always check the product instructions for litter type and particle-size requirements.

Can kittens use an automatic cat litter box?

Only when they meet the minimum requirements of the particular model. AutoClean Lite and Pro are not designed for kittens below 1kg, while AutoClean Max has a stated minimum weight of approximately 1.5kg. Check current product instructions before use.

Which PaWz automatic litter box is best for a large cat?

AutoClean Max currently has the largest stated cat-weight range in the PaWz AutoClean collection at approximately 1.5–13kg. Weight is not the only consideration, so also check the entry opening and internal space against your cat's body size.

Can multiple cats use an automatic litter box?

Selected AutoClean models may suit multi-cat households, but suitability depends on each cat's size, frequency of use and waste capacity. More cats will normally mean more frequent checks, litter top-ups and waste-bin emptying.

Does an automatic cat litter box remove all odour?

No litter box can guarantee an odour-free home. Automatic waste separation and enclosed waste storage can help manage smells, but litter choice, cleaning frequency, waste-bin capacity and room ventilation still matter.

Do automatic litter boxes still need cleaning?

Yes. You still need to empty the waste compartment, refresh litter, clean removable components and check the unit according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Do PaWz automatic litter boxes need Wi-Fi?

The current AutoClean models offer smart app functions using 2.4GHz Wi-Fi. Check the individual product manual for which functions remain available without an active Wi-Fi connection.
