Why it matters
Meowant upgraded the SC02 to the SC09 Plus with a 106 L interior and an 8.27 in low entrance for short-legged, overweight and senior cats. It takes cats from 3.3 to 30 lb, and the semi-gear design keeps the opening facing out so a cat can't be trapped.
It cleans automatically after each visit and seals waste in a 6.7 L bin. The double-layer silicone pad is waterproof and non-stick, the drum detaches for rinsing, and the AIRPET app works over 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi. Meowant puts the motor noise as low as 36 dB.
Who it's for, and who should skip it
Good fit if
- Large and heavy cats
- Senior cats
- Multi-cat homes
Look elsewhere if
- Homes without a level spot near an outlet
- Cats that are afraid of moving parts
- Kittens under the maker's minimum weight
Pros and cons
Pros
- 106 L interior
- Cats up to 30 lb
- Low 8.27 in entry
Cons
- 6.7 L bin
- 2.4 GHz only
- Large footprint
Limitations to weigh
- Set it on a hard, level floor near an outlet. Weight sensors read wrong on carpet or uneven tile, which can stop or trigger cycles.
- Automatic cycling has a minimum cat weight; keep automatic mode off for kittens under it and run cleans manually.
- Empty the waste bin before it's full and keep spare bags; an overfull bin is the most common cause of a stalled cycle.
- Running costs come from the bags, liners, filters and litter the maker specifies. The compatibility checker lists refills that state they fit.
