Best Self-Cleaning Litter Boxes 2021

The Omega Paw Elite Roll 'N Clean Litter Box lets you gently roll the litter box onto its side to catch all the waste in its internal waste bin. After that, all you have to do is pull out the waste bin and dump it in the garbage, and your cat's litter box is clean. It's a simple, low-tech solution and is one of the cheaper options out there. Just remember, this litter box will work much more effectively if you use clumping cat litter.

If you use crystal litter already or plan to when you get your furry friend, the PetSafe ScoopFree Ultra can last weeks before you need to do anything. This litter box will rake all the waste into a bin located at the back that seals once the raking is done, so it helps trap all those nasty odors. Plus, the automatic timer and sensors will also let you know how many times your cat goes into the litter box, which can help you keep track of its health.

The ultimate solution for never have to scoop again; the CatGenie self-washing litter box is a personal toilet for your cat. It requires you to use a special washable litter that comes with the box, a water connection, and an electrical outlet, but it takes care of everything for you. You can program the washing schedule to your liking and never have to touch litter again!

If you have more than one cat, and they are already used to using the same litter box (not all cats are cool with that), than the LitterMaid automatic multi-cat litter box is worth a look. The waste gets raked into a waste bin at the back of the litter box, and the carbon filter helps keep bad odors at bay. Plus, the litter box even comes with a textured ramp to help clean your cat's paws, so they don't track litter around the house.

This is not as advanced as some of the solutions we're suggesting, but it's a capable choice for single-cat households. This box's bowl rotates and sifts clumps from the litter. It does a full rotation every hour and a half. The waste bin that the clumps are scooped into it covered to prevent smells, as does the replaceable carbon filter. This offers a whisper-quiet operation, with a LED light to let you know it's busy doing its job.
