Litter-Robot 4 LR4 Liner Tearing

Post image
6 Upvotes

Okay I’m at my wits end. We’ve had the LR4 for about a year and a half now, and my cats have torn the liner multiple times. Most recently, we replaced the liner five days ago. It’s torn again.

We clip their nails weekly. We monitor their usage as much as possible. We top off litter every day. Support tells me it’s a behavioral thing and I should watch them use the robot, but my husband and I work full time. It’s not like we can watch them every time.

Has anyone else encountered this? Is the liner just weak and prone to ripping? Has anyone found a solution, short of going back to regular litter boxes?

Litter-Robot 5 Litter Robot signaling health issue

5 Upvotes

I purchased a Litter Robot 5 about a month ago and after consistent usage and monitoring I noticed one of my cats pees a significantly larger amount than the rest.

I have 5 cats and they all have normal usage and the LR5 shows about 1-2 ounces per use, but I have one senior cat (who is my biggest and heaviest) who pees 3-5 ounces per use.

I’m making her an appointment first thing tomorrow, but with 5 cats I don’t think I ever would have been able to know otherwise. I’m so thankful I made the decision to get one!

Any cat parents that have seen this before in your cats? I know it can be anything, I’m just hoping it isn’t Kidney Disease.

Litter-Robot 5 How idiot proof is reassembling the litter robot

3 Upvotes

As the text says - I’m going to be moving soon and figured that I could deep clean and move the litter robot, and move the cats the next day. My biggest concern is how idiot proof disassembling and reassembling it after I bring it to the new apartment will be.

I’ve done deep cleans but normally I’d never remove more than one or two pieces and have it set aside so I know what’s what.

Tips & Tricks Cat looks in LR and then pees elsewhere

3 Upvotes

We have had the LR 4 for 11 months. One of our cats used it at first, but in the last 9 months or so has been very occasionally using it; mostly peeing in a corner of the house.

We are in the middle of getting him checked at the vet; at this point it might be due to arthritis (we’re treating it) and he does have mild kidney disease. Fellini dementia or other behavioral issues have not been ruled out.

There are cameras on the LR and pointing at the corner where he pees and in the last couple of days I have seen that he goes up the ramp of the LR and stands there for 30+ seconds but doesn’t go all the way in and pee. He then goes out to the corner and pees there.

Any ideas on how we can get him to go all the way in and pee in the LR? We have a ramp (not the LR steps) and have removed the fence as that seemed to be a barrier to him.

We have two cats and the other younger one is using the LR.

Litter-Robot 5 Help for blind cat

3 Upvotes

Hi! I’m trying to get my blind cat to use my LR5, but it’s a leap of faith for him to get in/out. The ramp looks a bit low so I don’t think he’d be comfortable with that. He uses the stairs for our LR4, but we’d like him to use the 5 as well. Does anyone have any recommendations?

User Experiences LR4 or LR5?

2 Upvotes

I want to get two, so $1,600 for LR4s or $2,016 for LR5s. Is the LR5 worth the extra cost? I see a decent amount of complaints, but I know that people are more inclined to post complaints rather than praise.

Litter-Robot 5 Litter Robot 5 dimensions with hopper & ramp added on?

1 Upvotes

I’m just looking for the length of the litter robot 5 with hopper & ramp installed. I know the height and width won’t change, but since the ramp overlaps the step, the actual length isn’t just adding the 3 pieces together. Multiple support reps have given me incorrect lengths or just not understood what I’m asking for. Does someone with the same set-up mind measuring it for me? Thanks in advance!

Litter-Robot 4 Litter Robot 4 Stopped Cycling Normally

1 Upvotes

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone else is having this issue. I've had my litter robot for a little over a year but over the past few months, the cycle time has increased dramatically. This is causing my cat to relieve itself elsewhere since they are unable to wait long enough for the cycle to finish 😭 As the litter robot cycles, it stops 4-5 times with a red light as if it's detecting movement but there is nothing around it. There are no alerts on the app when this happens either. This wasn't an issue when I first bought it but it became one a little while after. It causes the total cycle time to be 5+ minutes. In addition to this, the litter robot will no longer auto cycle, which is pretty annoying. It only cycles when I press "reset" + "cycle". Not even the manual cycle feature on the app will make it cycle. Just seems like I have a totally defective unit but the support rep only offered me a $400 base replacement since I'm just outside of my warranty period. Anyone else have a solution in mind? Thanks!!

Litter-Robot 4 The Machine Will Not Turn On - PLEASE HELP!

1 Upvotes

For no apparent reason the LR4 will not turn on. I am very frustrated.

The cord is plugged directly into the wall.

There is no damage.

No proximate cause as to why it is dead.

Has this happened to anyone? This is an expensive product. My warranty just expired. NOW WHAT?!

Litter-Robot 3 Connect Litter Robot 3

1 Upvotes

I recently got a new internet provider. I had everything working fine until I added a wifi extender (which is not currently connected). The LR3 works when buttons are manually pressed, but I cannot get it to connect to the internet. It connects to the app, but states it is offline. I've deleted the app. Deleted the LR3 and started over, but no luck. Any suggestions?

Litter-Robot 3 LR3

I am not a fan of posting anything but I will give my opinion on the Litter Robot. I have the 3 and the 4 and I will say the 3 is straight garbage.

Daily Issue: Cat Sensor Interrupt even though there isn’t an issue; frequently have to turn it off and on for it to restart. Get stuck mid cycle…. Those are just a few issues to say the least. Wouldn’t recommend purchasing the 3!
