I’m a Cat Mom, and Yes, the Litter-Robot Is Worth the Hype — Plus, It's on Sale Today

I’m in my late 20s and don’t have kids, so my cat is my baby. I would literally do anything for him; however, when I was given the opportunity to test an automatic litter box that would remove his waste for me, I immediately said yes. Never scooping again? Sign me up. 

I got my hands on the Whisker Litter-Robot 4 nearly five months ago, and long story short, I would 100 percent buy one with my own money. It’s a game changer for me, my cat Pete, and my pet sitter, since it does the dirty work of sifting through litter and dropping clumps into a tightly sealed drawer, provides a fresh bed of litter after every bathroom trip, and has a waste bin that only needs to be emptied once a week.

While the price might give you sticker shock, it’s truly a life-changing purchase — and that’s not just my opinion. Over 50,000 people have left five-star reviews, PEOPLE testers named it the best investment for a cat litter box, and even celebrities like Chrissy Teigen and brand partner Ariana Madix have one in their home. 

If you’re ready to take the leap, the good news is that I scored a discount code for you to take $50 off your purchase. After adding the Litter-Robot 4 to your cart, click the checkout button in the right-hand corner and scroll down to Review Order. That’s where you’ll enter code DDM50 — but hurry, it won’t last forever. 

Whisker Litter-Robot 4

The biggest worry I had before testing the Litter-Robot was if Pete would even use it. He’s a literal scaredy-cat, so I wasn’t sure how the bathroom change combined with the self-cleaning function would go. All that said, I did my research and followed the advice of reviewers who had the same fear. On the first day, I placed it by his litter pan but didn’t plug it in so he could explore the Litter-Robot without being forced to use it or get nervous about the auto-sifting process.  

Though Pete is skittish, he’s very curious (and naturally territorial), so it didn’t take long for him to hop in the Litter-Robot and check it out. Within a week, he moved from his litter pan to the automatic model, and neither of us looked back. 

In addition to the seamless transition, setup was a breeze. It’s shipped in a huge box because it comes fully assembled, so it was as easy as opening the package and placing it on the floor (it’s suitable for both hardwood and carpet). Since it’s a smart litter box, it has an app you can download on your phone to access information like when it’s low on litter, when the waste drawer needs to be emptied, their weight, and more. 

Unlike traditional litter boxes, the Litter-Robot has an aesthetically pleasing design, which is particularly beneficial for people with small spaces. You can place it just about anywhere in your home (think: the office, living room, and bathroom) and not worry about it clashing with your style. Choose a black or white model, and then pick your favorite bezel color, including neutral options, vibrant shades, and chic patterns like marble.

Don’t sleep on this life-changing product. Say goodbye to your high-maintenance litter pan and invest in the Litter-Robot 4 today. If you’re interested in the previous model, Litter-Robot 3, or a bundle that includes essentials like litter and waste drawer liners, keep scrolling. You can save $50 on all of them with code DDM50.
