Why it matters
The M1 Plus Lite upgrades the M1 Lite with a 6-array rotary infrared system that tracks your cat from several angles for fewer false triggers. Like the M1 Plus, it takes up to three cats from 3.3 to 33 lb.
A brush strip seals odor during cleaning, and the Pull & Wrap system bags waste for 7 to 14 days between emptying. The Neakasa app on 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi tracks activity for up to three cats and sends refill reminders.
Who it's for, and who should skip it
Good fit if
- Large breeds
- Up to 3 cats
- Cats wary of hoods
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
- 33 lb limit
- Upgraded sensing
- Pull & Wrap bags
Cons
- 2.4 GHz only
- Open top can scatter
- 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.
