Hello @4gulls
The LavvieBot S is currently a product in preorder, as it hasn’t been released yet, but from our experience while testing the unit, it offers new functionality and reliability that are well worth it.
The LavvieBot S uses a combination of non-stick plastic and a 6.5L refill storage to make sure the 5L litter tray is always kept clean and full for every use, so you can fill it and forget the litter chore for up to 21 days. If only one cat is using the unit.
The always full and fresh litter bed helps for odor management, and the LavvieBot S effectively neutralizes odor through its gel deodorizer that absorbs up to 93.9% of ammoniac. In addition, the waste drawer has a sealed lid, and since it only opens during the cleaning cycle, it helps minimize the odor.
For the waste drawer, you can use any bag as long as it fits into the unit, but it’s recommended to use a custom-fit waste bag to avoid the LavvieBot inaccurate notification of a full waste drawer.
The rake system offers a robust sifting system. By focusing the rotational force of the motor onto the separator, LavvieBot S’s mechanism demonstrates exceptional cleaning ability, preventing breakage and while keeping noise levels surprisingly low.
It will automatically start cleaning after a set amount of time chosen by the user between 15 and 90 minutes and depending on your cat’s needs, you can extend time to let the clump solidify and let the LavvieBot S do the cleaning.
If your cat enters the machine during the auto cleaning, its front infrared sensor will instantly
detect the movement, and the separator will be shifted to standby mode immediately.
The LavvieBot application keeps track of the frequency and length that your cat uses LavvieBot S, so you can always stay on top of your cat’s health by consulting the frequency of use report that is available daily. And by monitoring its use, you will be able to know if your cat does not go frequently or too often to make its needs, and thus know if there may be health concerns.
The unit can distinguish your cats as long as their weight difference is about 1.6lb or more, meaning that you can monitor its use by your cats on an individual basis. LavvieBot parent company are also working on a cat pendant to help LavvieBot S identify cats regardless of their weight.
Finally, it’s recommended that cats weigh approximately between 2 and 16lbs to use it, but unfortunately, the unit wouldn’t accommodate large cat sizes of breeds such as Maine Coon and Savannah.
