Why it matters
The M1 Plus has no hood: cats step onto an open litter bed, which Neakasa says suits cats' instincts and large breeds moving from a standard box. It supports up to three cats from 3.3 to 33 lb; Kitten Mode covers lighter kittens.
A brush strip seals the litter bed to the waste bin, so no carbon or deodorizing packs are needed. The 11.2 L bin and 7.2 L litter capacity give 7 to 14 days between emptying, and the 2.4 GHz app identifies each cat and tracks its visits.
Who it's for, and who should skip it
Good fit if
- Large breeds
- Cats wary of hooded boxes
- Up to 3 cats
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
- No odor packs needed
- Open-top
Cons
- 2.4 GHz only
- Open top can scatter litter
- 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.
