Face-off: Litter Robot 4 vs. M1 Neakasa!

I appreaciate the footage of the mess, always wanted to see how it looks after some days of use. I was sure it wouldnt stay clean and you proved my point so thank you. I was hesitating between those two robots and you helped me choose so again im very gratefull ❤

You helped me decide between these two! I appreciate the brutal honesty. Definitely going to be purchasing the M1 today for Prime Day!

It's amzon prime day and I'm getting M1 after watching this. 200 bucks off today baby

I have had the M1 for about 3 weeks now with 3 cats. 2 of them heavily use it. One once in a while. It has been flawless. Like I can't believe how good it is. We are trying the Boxie litter because reviews say how good it is in robots not getting pissed through and sticking to the bottom. So far so good except it does seem to track out like crazy. Prime day had the M1 at 399. Bummed I missed it. I told my big cat if he would just reliably use it he could have his own. If it goes on sale again later this year I would buy another. I think it will almost fit in my van I need to take some serious measurements as it does it's cleaning cycle to see if maybe it would fit in the litter compartment we have. It might just be too tall. It is pretty cool to get a reminder to empty the waste bin and find 18lbs of clumps in there seeing it is working so well.

Thanks for this video. I has been looking to buy one, but I was not fully convinced about the neakasa. Your video helped me on my decision. Thanks!

Thanks for the video! I have had every litter robot since the first one. When they die I just bought a new one. Despite issues with it there were never any viable competitors. Meanwhile their prices go up and up. As you allude to what is so frustrating about Litter Robot are the fundamental issues that they carry over from generation to generation. They add all these bells and whistles without addressing the fundamental flaws. It actually looks like the 4 is harder to deep clean than the 3 and that is saying something! Additionally even after 4 generations the litter robot looks like something made in a guys basement. The build quality and fit and finish are really lacking especially at this price point. Thier competition at half the price is killing them in that category. After my second base on my LR3 died I had enough and boy was I blown away at how many competitors there are now. I refuse to pay the insane price of the LR4. I have done a lot of research and just picked up the M1 for $400 on prime day sale.

Great comparison video!

Whelp, I bought it lol. My LR4 currently needs to be deep cleaned and I HATE the nooks and crannies! Ugh! And the nasty little “fur” seal above the waste bin opening. We have a cat with a sensitive tummy so having a larger litter area will help with not stepping on his poop. We tried the Popur, but that one kept pushing the cat out of the box when it was trying to spread the litter out. A couple different times my cats tried to go behind the grate when it was smoothing out the litter. It does not stop when the cat does this. The popur is awful. Anyway, this box is like that design with all the flaws fixed! The very first thing I said about the Popur is that it should just rotate forward to spread the litter instead of using the filter grate to spread it out. This has fewer moving parts and looks so much easier to clean.

Great video. Non bias. I returned my LR4 because imo it was just horrible. Bought the M1, can't wait to try it

I really want to get the Neakasa M1, but the only thing holding me back is that its open on top. Right now we just have a big tote container as the litter box in a hallway closet, and the closet is COVERED in dust from the litter. So I was considering the LR4 since its closed on top and would probably mitigate the dust going up and everywhere in the closet. We use Dr. Elseys "Ultra" litter, as it clumps well for us and supposedly 99.9% dust free, but most cat litters advertise that and doesnt seem to be true in our case. Do you notice any dust in the surrounding area with the Neakasa M1? And what litter do you use?

I think you are giving your cat(s) too much wet food and using lower-quality litter that does not clump well. But anyways, great video. I really appreciate the reviews and comparisons, and I subscribed!

I brought the M1 for 1 month now, my cat loves it so much, he doesn't have any transition period, and of course I like it even more, 100% hands free, I feel very lucky to have M1, hopefully it will last, The only thing bothering me is the right side ear of the robot cannot be fully closed, I saw the one in video has the same problem, don't know what to do with it.

First of all, what are you feeding your cats?!? My litter robots have never ever looked like that and I have 6 cats that all go in the same boxes!! So my guess it's a food issue to some degree. I agree the liner on the LR-4 leaves something to be desired compared to the LR-3. Wish they would switch back to the LR-3 material liner. But aside from that LR-3/4 is by far still the best out there in terms of longevity and reliability plus customer service. Nothing is perfect so expecting that from a litter box with cats that have different preferences for "how they go" my cats pretty much cover the gamet and I'm happy with my LR-4. My cats have always preferred to be covered in the box, even old style regular boxes got covered, so cats just won't say what they prefer. It may seem your cats like that new style more but in truth they likely like the cleanliness of it more. If you spot clean it more because it's easier then of course they are going to use the newer one more. Yet as I said my LR-4 has never ever looked like that but I fed my cats the diet they were meant to eat and I use Dr. Else's litter with no problem. For the entire globe to get stuck on that way I'd have to really neglect my cat boxes. I mean some of my cats don't even bury their trip/drop... they scratch the sides of the box instead of the litter... and with six cats the box never looked like that. Look into what you're feeding your cats, my guess that's 90% of your box issues. That you see poop like that smeared all over is a sign something is wrong with one or more of your cats. Checking the litter box is 50% about checking in on the health of your cats. Maybe that other box is the fix to your problems but I find it hard to believe their poop is different in each box. And wiping down more often is what I see as the difference between the two. You prefer the open one so you clean it more often, hence it seems to be better. As for the litter depth, most cats don't like 3 inches of litter under them. They prefer to "uncover" where they go and "recover" after they are done. So it's all perspective.

It seems to me the litter robot requires more maintenance and cleaning than my stainless steel litterbox.Kind of defeats the purpose.

the only things ive seen the litter robot do better in is keeping the litter in the machine and as someone else mentioned better support. if I do buy one however my money is going to the m1 especially with it being on sale for prime days right now for 399.99

neakasa on prime sale right now for 399

Gross!!

Funny you have poop in places on the litter robot 4, where the litter material does nog even get, and yeah sometimes cats make a mess, thats why you have the timer to set it longer so it clumps better. Showing the sponsored litterbox already cleaned as comparison is really cheating. all just a M1 sponsered video, too bad.
