i originally came to this subforum looking for any mention of the Litter-Robot III Open-Air. since this thread is already supposed to be about litter boxes, i'll post here

anybody have one of these?


Late response here, but I have this box. Overall it's pretty good but mine has been a little finicky the whole time I've had it. It occasionally gets stuck, or decides the drawer is full when it's not, so it stops cycling. It has some quirks, so I just try to glance at the box twice a day to make sure it's happy. I'd rather deal with the issues than have to scoop boxes every day.

Before this, I had a Litter Robot II, which was a bit more reliable imo, but also louder and more cramped inside for the cats. The base on my LR2 died after 4 years of use, and I replaced the base only and continued to use it for another 2+ years; it still works but it's grimey and old so I got the LR3 about 2 years ago. So overall a pretty reliable machine. It's expensive up front, but if you figure the monthly cost if it lasts 4+ years, it's really not bad. I also use less litter than I used to.

I have 2 cats and the LR3 is my only litterbox. I only had to empty the drawer once a week with the LR2, but with the LR3 I have to do it more like every 4 days because the sensor says the drawer is full a long time before it is truly full, so it stops cycling. Also the LR3 is really big. If you're planning to keep it in a closet or similar tight space, be sure to measure the doorway first.

My dog has no problem getting snacks out of the LR3 before it cycles, so I do have to keep it behind a baby gate.
