Neakasa M1 Plus - automatic robot litter box for cats

This thing is great — every time she steps in, the app logs her weight down to what feels like the exact gram.

The waste bin is bigger than I thought it'd need to be, honestly — with two cats using it we still go over a week between empties.

The waste container is seriously big, 11 liters. With one cat, I change the bag almost once every two weeks.

It's honestly quieter than I expected — our cat naps right beside it and doesn't even stir when it cycles through a clean.

High-quality plastic, made of ABS material. The cat sometimes chews on the edge, but there are no marks left, it's very sturdy.

The noise up to 50 dB is totally bearable, the cat isn't scared. It starts silently compared to our old model.

Leo, our Maine Coon, is pushing 8 kilos, and every enclosed box we tried felt like watching him fold himself into a shoebox. That's really why we went with this one — the open bowl plus the claim it handles cats up to 15 kg. He's got room to spare in there now, doesn't even brush the sides, and it reads his weight correctly every time. Three months in without a single jam, and he digs like it's his job. Night cleaning cycles don't seem to register with him at all, honestly the thing is quieter than I expected. Only real change on our end was switching from wood pellets to a clumping litter, which took some getting used to but was worth it. Delivery to the EU was quick too, which was a nice surprise.

Don't buy paper litter, it won't work. Clumping only. But with fine mineral litter, there are zero problems.

Bought the M1 Plus a week ago. We specifically switched to a litter with granules up to 10mm long, and everything works like a charm.

It took a Maine Coon-sized cat to make us realize how cramped his old round box actually was. This open bowl finally gives him room to turn around properly.

Got it because of the weight limit up to 15 kg. Suitable even for the largest dog breeds or giant cats.

The Neakasa App works flawlessly on the iPhone. Waste emptying notifications come right on time.

Switching to this was such a good decision. He used to try clawing his way out through the sides of his old enclosed box, and that's completely stopped with the open one.

The entrance height of 35.2 cm is very convenient. The cat doesn't have to crouch low, he just walks right in.

The instructions are clear, I assembled it in ten minutes. The buttons on the device mirror the app, which is super convenient.

We debated for a long time between enclosed capsules and an open type. We went with the Neakasa M1 Plus and haven't regretted it once. Supporting cats from 1 to 15 kg is completely true. We have a 2 kg cat and a 7 kg cat, both use it without any issues. The enclosed 11.23L container reliably hides odors, and it's easy to pull out. I'll say this right away: throw out the wood pellets immediately, the robot won't be able to handle them; you definitely need a clumping litter with granules up to 10mm long. We got bentonite and everything works like clockwork. Absolutely worth the money.

The waste container is enclosed. It used to stink up the whole apartment, but now there is absolutely no smell.

High-quality materials, the plastic has no odor. I was worried it would smell like chemicals, but everything is perfectly fine.

Yesterday I completely disassembled the unit for a deep clean. It's designed very smartly, and the ABS and PP plastic materials feel nice to the touch.

Couldn't be happier. Whatever hum it makes at night doesn't carry into the next room at all — we sleep right through it.

The fine-grain litter gets sifted instantly after the cat leaves. No clumps are left behind, everything is clean.

I was looking for a decent robot litter box to ship to Germany. The M1 Plus model arrived quickly. We have a domestic shorthair cat named Simba, he weighs a bit over 5 kilos, and he's quite skittish. The description mentioned that an open design is better accepted by cautious cats — and that's the absolute truth! Simba climbed inside the very first evening without any forcing. I read the instructions in five minutes (even though I'm German myself, but I studied Russian in school). The assembly is simple: bowl, 4 feet, adapter. It runs quietly at under 50 dB, so we sleep soundly. The app froze on my phone once, but after restarting the router, everything worked again. Totally worth the money, I would buy it again.

You can control it from an Android phone. The statistics work perfectly, you can see exactly how many times the cat went in.

It supports cats from about 1 to 15 kg; our Thai cat weighs 4 kg, and everything has been working flawlessly for a month now.

It came with two branded trash bags, a nice bonus. They're thick and don't tear.

I bought it because of the stated entry height of 35.2 cm. The kitten climbs in easily, and the litter doesn’t spill out.

The litter box is a real find. The instructions are clear, although there’s no Italian translation, but we figured it out.

Good product. You can’t use wood pellets, read the instructions. We only use clumping litter.

Whatever sensor setup they've got in there does its job well — I've never worried about him getting caught in it, even when I'm not home to supervise.

The buttons on the body are very helpful if you don’t have your phone nearby. I start the cleaning manually after the cat has eaten.

I really like that the litter box is open. My cat doesn’t like tight enclosed spaces, but here she goes in and gets straight to business.

Turns out the issue wasn't the litter box itself but the closed dome — ours would just hover outside it. Since switching to this open version he walks straight in without hesitation.

I bought this robot a month ago for my British Shorthair. At first I was worried it would be noisy, but the noise level of up to 50 dB turned out to be absolutely comfortable; we sleep in the next room and don’t hear it. The 7.17 L litter capacity lets you pour in a whole bag at once, so you don’t have to constantly watch the level. Control through the Neakasa App for Android is super convenient, and the visit statistics work perfectly. But the main thing is safety: 6 infrared sensors and 4 weight sensors detect the cat every time. I’m glad I bought it, premium quality for reasonable money. The design comes apart easily for a deep clean once a week. Completely happy with the purchase. Respect to Fernpaw for the fast delivery to Italy.

The 11-liter container really does last two weeks, but pulling it out of the niche is quite hard because the rails are tight.

We have little kids at home, so safety matters. The 6 infrared sensors detect the cat before she even gets in, so the drum won’t rotate.

The power adapter cable is long and reached the outlet without extension cords. Works quietly.

The moment there's any weight detected, the drum stops turning immediately — I've never felt worried about safety with this thing.

As an engineer, I appreciated the 4 weight sensors in the base. They detect the pet’s presence very accurately. In six months of use, there hasn’t been a single false cleaning cycle while the cat was inside. The bowl itself is spacious, and the PP and POM materials are good quality; nothing absorbs odor. The waste container really lasts up to 14 days (we live in a cool apartment, one cat). The plastic doesn’t feel cheap, the fasteners are firm, and assembly and disassembly are intuitive. I’ll recommend it to my colleagues.

The official specs don’t lie, everything is accurate. Control through the Neakasa App works without glitches; my phone is on iOS.

The open type of the M1 Plus self-cleaning litter box is much more hygienic. Odors don’t build up under a lid like with older models.

The waste bin is easy to remove, and the original bags fit. No smell at all. I would buy it again.

I bought this robot for our British Shorthair named Archie. He weighs about 6 kg and is very cautious. Closed capsules always scared him, but the open bowl of the Neakasa M1 Plus did the job — it took exactly two days for him to get used to it. The 11.23-liter waste bin capacity lasts us 12-14 days, after which I simply pull out the closed container and take it to the trash. I’ll also mention the app separately: I can see all the visit statistics, which is important for monitoring the cat’s health. The noise level of around 50 dB doesn’t disturb sleep at all; the litter box is in the hallway. I’m glad I don’t have to deal with a scoop every day. The waste container really closes tightly, and there’s no smell in the apartment at all. I’m completely satisfied with the litter box; it’s the best autonomous option on the EU market for picky pets. For the money, the functionality is 100% justified.

I was skeptical at first, but with just my one cat I genuinely go about two weeks without needing to empty the container.

The plastic is high-quality PP and ABS. The whole structure comes apart easily, and it’s very convenient to wash.

We would definitely buy it again. This is the second model in the house; the M1 Plus works more quietly than the first one, and the container here is bigger.

An open litter box is exactly what we needed. The cat was afraid of the old robot, but climbed into this one the first time.

The cat is 9 kg and fits comfortably. We used to be afraid of robot litter boxes, but the open type helped.

It comes with 2 rolls, a great idea. The bags fit the container perfectly, so there’s no need to look for alternatives.

We actually keep it in our bedroom, and it’s been a non-issue — quiet enough that it’s never once woken either of us up.

The noise of up to 50 dB doesn’t disturb sleep at all. The robot is in the hallway and works completely quietly.

Maintenance notifications are a lifesaver. It alerts you when it's time to clean and refill, I would have forgotten myself.

I work a lot and daily litter box scooping was a nightmare. Now it's not a problem at all. The 11.23 L waste container really comes in handy; I take the bag out once every 10-12 days. I have two cats, and both got used to it quickly thanks to the open design of the box. Safety is top-notch: if a cat tries to jump in during cleaning, the sensors stop the process instantly. The Neakasa app sends notifications when it's time to add litter or empty the container. The bowl capacity allows for using fine-grained clumping litter without any issues, and the waste separates completely. I would definitely buy it again! The only minor thing is that I had to find a spot closer to an outlet, the cable isn't very long.

Just super. I didn't think I could be so happy about a cat litter box.

Liked the included instruction manual, everything is in Russian and easy to understand. Assembled it in 10 minutes.

The sensors work flawlessly, the cat can't get inside during a cycle. The only thing I'm unsure about is the 35 cm entrance height.

Happy with the cleaning, it scoops perfectly. It's just that the cat's weight readings sometimes fluctuate by plus or minus a kilo.

The Neakasa app is just super. I check the visit statistics and monitor my cat's weight, it's very convenient.

I researched robot litter boxes for weeks before landing on this one, mostly because of how big my Maine Coon is — with enclosed models he'd basically be hunched over in there. This open design gives him actual headroom. The cleaning cycles kick in reliably, no complaints there. My one annoyance is the app dropping its Wi-Fi connection every so often, which means a router reboot to fix. Aside from that, it does its job well — the waste gets scooped properly and there's genuinely no odor.

An adapter was included in the package, so I didn't have to buy an extension cord. Plugged it in and set up the Wi-Fi right away.

The Neakasa App is just super. I can see when my cat went in and how much he weighs, all the charts are on my phone.

We bought the M1 Plus robot litter box a week ago. We have two cats at home, and one of them is very skittish. The open design helped her get used to it in two days! The most important thing is that the problem of scattered litter is gone. The box itself sifts fine-grained clumping litter (up to 3 mm particle size) perfectly. The device's weight of 10.35 kg provides stability—the cats don't move it out of place. We are 100% satisfied. The only thing is that sometimes there are delays with push notifications in the app, but that's a minor issue.

Lexus is our Maine Coon, and his old enclosed box was honestly a bit of a disaster — he'd barely squeeze in and would frequently just miss the target entirely. Switching to the M1 Plus fixed that overnight thanks to how low and open the entrance sits; he walks right in now without any awkward maneuvering. I load up the container and pretty much forget about it for ages. We run a fine clumping litter that sifts through clean without anything getting stuck in the mechanism. Cleaning the drum itself takes maybe a minute with a damp wipe, no tools needed, though it does stay a little damp inside sometimes. The sensors are almost too sensitive — even walking past triggers a pause — but I'd rather that than the alternative. For what we paid, I don't think there's a better option out there for a cat his size.

The M1 Plus model shows visit statistics. We noticed the cat was going more often, so we took her to the vet.

The infrared sensors trigger instantly. The cat tried to jump in during cleaning, and everything paused.

Bought it specifically because of the 35.2 cm entrance height. The cat used to be cramped, but in the Neakasa M1 Plus he gets in without problems. The app shows his weight: he currently weighs 6.5 kg and feels comfortable. The safety system with 6 IR sensors and 4 weight sensors worked flawlessly; if the cat is near, the cleaning goes on pause immediately. We are very happy, highly recommend.

The cat got used to it quickly, the open design is really convenient. But during assembly, I was unhappy with how the feet fit—I had to tinker with them.

He'd always hesitate at the entrance of anything with a dome on it, but this open style clicked for him right away — no adjustment period at all.

We were dealing with accidents right next to the box for a while there. Since we switched to this open one, that's completely stopped — he just hops right in now.

It's convenient to check the statistics in the app. We noticed right away that the cat started going to the bathroom less often and managed to get to the vet in time.

Got it for two British Shorthairs. The container is really big, I change the bag about once every ten days, and there is absolutely no smell. At first, I was worried that the open design would smell, but the ventilation system in the compartment works great. It took the cats about two days to get used to it. I just turned off the automatic cleaning and ran the cycle manually at first. Then they realized nothing terrible was happening, and I turned on the automatic mode. The sensor triggers accurately, it has never started spinning while the cat was inside.

It operates quietly at night, practically unnoticeable; we sleep in the same room and the robot doesn't wake us up at all. There is almost no noise.

We bought fine clumping silica gel litter as stated in the instructions, everything sifts perfectly and doesn't get stuck in the grate.

The app sends a timely push notification when the container is full. For a forgetful person like me, this is a real lifesaver, I don't have to try to remember myself.

Disassembles effortlessly; I took off the top part and washed the drum in the shower without any special tools or screwdrivers.

Extremely happy with the purchase. Our skittish cat went inside without any problems since the entrance is quite low and there is no enclosed dome.

We helped our cat lose the extra weight because the phone shows the animal's exact weight every time they use the litter box.

The kids often play near the litter box and try to stick their hands in while it's rotating, but the sensors stop the mechanism instantly. I feel at ease. The drum itself is made of dense, smooth plastic that doesn't absorb odors at all and wipes clean with wet wipes in seconds. Before this we had an old covered litter box, and the difference is enormous. Waste is immediately isolated in the lower compartment, and the apartment only smells like air freshener. Cleaning now takes five seconds — just tie up the bag and throw it out.

I always use Cat's Best litter, and it works with this robot without any issues. The clumps are sifted out cleanly.

Pler is a big boy, and honestly the old covered box was a squeeze for him — he'd get stuck trying to turn around inside it. The open shape of this one solved that completely, and it's quiet enough that we don't notice it running. My one complaint is the rubber insert at the bottom; stuck-on litter doesn't just wipe off, I usually end up having to soak it during the deep clean.

He didn't hesitate at all with this one, which says a lot compared to the capsule-style boxes we tried before. The only downside is the step up into it, which is a bit much now that he's getting older.

This ended up being exactly what our Maine Coon needed — no more hesitating at the entrance, he just walks in like it's nothing.

I hesitated for a long time about whether to get a robot, since my cat is very timid and used to avoid litter boxes with doors. The M1 Plus settled in from day one! The open bowl makes the process feel as natural as possible, and he understood what was what right away. I was especially pleased with the app: now I can see at work how many times Busik has used the toilet and what his weight is. The container is really large; I only need to clean it once every week and a half. I'm very happy with the purchase, it makes everyday life much easier.

The app works without glitches. I get a push notification when the cat has gone in and when it's time to clean the waste bin, very convenient.

The sensors are genuinely sensitive. If the cat decides to come back during cleaning, the mechanism instantly pauses without scaring him.
