(Upgraded) Popur X5 Self Cleaning Cat Litter Box - Unique Open Top Split System - Automatic Litter Scooping Robot, Odor-Seal, 24 Inch Tray, 30-Day Capacity, 33 lbs. Load, 99% Leakproof (Cardboard Bin)

So far I give it 5 stars as of Nov 22, 2025. I own the Litter Robot 3 and 4. 3 was great to start. It has been about 6 years and the sensor of when a cat is in it is starting to go. It has problems telling when to rotate. So it's kind of a sitting, round regular litter box right now. The 4... pfff. Apparently as LR comes out with newer models, they're full of problems. I've had it for about 3 years and I have had terrible issues with it. I've fixed most but the one I just can't solve is that even with no litter in it, even with the gears free of clog, it will not rotate. It tries to but moves a few millimeters back and forth from its spot (no matter what position I place the sphere in) and just tries to turn and just can't. So it stops trying. So this one currently is also a sitting, round regular litter box now. I've seen ads for this and decided to try it. I LOVE that it holds so much more litter than the 3 and 4 combined. I got it set up and working within 5 minutes. Works fine from the get-go. The front of it displayed a '0' when set up, I thought it was an error note at first but it actually is a counter display of how many times it has filtered the litter. It displays a cute cat animation when it detects a cat in it by weight. It has a count down timer of when it is about to do a filter and a progress bar when it starts. The grate levels out the litter with three passes after it's done. I would rather it be two passes because that takes longer than I like but that's no issue really. Get the plastic bin, don't bother with the cardboard one it comes with. There is a plug that you plug into the side of the litter box that tells the flap on the back of the waste box lid when the waste box should be opened. That's pretty neat. My kittens, one is named Circle who is brave and already peed in it to claim it as hers because she is a fearless apex predator. My other kitten "Orange" also declares "I am an apex predator!" as the rustle of a fake houseplant falling over startles him into a full speed run across the linoleum floor and his ignorance of momentum + turning across a slick surface causes him to wipe out into his water dish. Spilling it everywhere. He will take some time to get adjusted to it. Overall it's pretty simplistic and nice. I'll update this as time passes to see if it still has great functionality and if it lasted longer than the Litter Robots did.

We purchased our first Popur x5 with a plastic bin in December 2023. At that time, we only had 4 cats. We have rescued more cats and now have 8! We bought an automatic litter box from another manufacturer. It is a drum type that rotates. It is also difficult to clean and I don't feel like it holds enough litter. Our adult male cats are not too fond of it. They prefer open boxes. We also have regular litter boxes. Our house is not open concept, so the rooms are broken up and divided. We keep multiple boxes because even though everybody is spayed or neutered, the cats are still territorial. And while these electric boxes are great and made for multiple cats, I prefer for them to have more options. Anyway, we came back to purchase another Popur x5 because it is what works for my cats. The first one we bought December 2023 has some litter granules stuck in the gears of the filter swing arm. So it is slowing down a little. If you purchase this, I would recommend putting a cover of some type over the open metal gears where the filter swing arm moves. I took some clear packing tape, cleaned the plastic part that says "Popur" and made a sort of shield with the tape all the way across. I also put tape on the back of that first piece of tape, so it wouldn't stick to the trash bag in the plastic bin when it dumps and then folded the back tape over the front tape. There are also silicone draft guards for doors that might work but you would need to "caulk" the gap between the plastic Popur piece and whatever you use to shield as there would be a ledge to catch litter. We did have issues with our orange male trying to dig a pit to China whenever he would use the litter box. He would literally shovel it out of the box onto the floor. He's gotten used to it and no longer does that. We just swept the litter up and put it back until he figured it out. Also, one of my cats is 18.5 lbs. He could turn around where his hind end is at the back corner of the box but he does not. He chooses to place his hind end at the front corner. Because of this, we have to keep litter shoveled up the side of the box a little past the liner. If the litter is not there and he pees in the front corner, it runs under the plastic guard at the front of the box. It could potentially run onto your floor if there were enough urine. Luckily, we didn't have that issue before we figured out a work around. The instructions with the product tell you not to fill it above the liner but you gotta do what you gotta do. We also have an elderly,16-year-old female cat. She loves using the Popur x5. She has no issue climbing in even though she has arthritis. We also have three cats that will not use the electric boxes. You have to find what works best for your cat. This Popur x5 is what works best for our felines.

El servicio de atención al cliente es fantástico. En cuanto al producto en sí una maravilla, es menos aparatoso de lo que me imaginaba. Mis gatitos (3 Maine Coon) se han acostumbrado al cambio en <24h ya que al ser de bandeja abierta, y no como otros que parecen un tambor de lavadora, yo me imagino que no se les hace raro. En cuanto a los olores, evidentemente con la tapa abierta se nota algo, pero la apertura de la tapa dura escasos segundos por ciclo con lo que no supone ningún problema. Muy silencioso, yo lo tengo en el salón y no molesta nada, no creo que fuera problema tenerlo en despacho o habitación.

Have attached my unboxing video, (please ignore my croaky flu voice..lol) the little felt things I'm unsure of in the video actually go on the bottom flap part of the cardboard box that goes under the back of the Popur. All the cats were into it straight away. The foster kitties, my 13 yr old cat, and even my big maine coon fits. Much better having a wide opening, as mine don't like the dome over them...(that was a costly lesson). Had a small issue with the bin lid after 300+ uses, but customer service were excellent to deal with, and sorted the issue straight away. Seriously, they were great, onto it immediately, prompt responses, and worked with me to resolve the issue really quickly. I have a neck injury that hurts when I bend to do the litter, and the Popur has now saved me so many litter cleans a day. I have 12 cats here atm, most are fosters, so you can imagine how much time i spent cleaning litter. I ummed and ahhd about getting it, because it was such a lot of money, but, it is now a month later, and I've just ordered another one, so that should say how good they are. I also have cardboard destroying cats here, and none have gone near the cardboard box - which is very surprising, and a relief😁. Cannot recommend the Popur enough. It is an absolute game changer. Definitely worth the money. No more stinky smells, and i don't have to scoop litter 8 times a day. Fantastic product! A+

Just today I woke up to a horrible sound from to Popur, di check and saw that the arms That are mounted to the upper part broke

Dirty litter sticks to the rake/screen and is hard to clean

I have scooped cat poop for most of my life and finally what a relief that I've found a reliable poop scooper! I scooped the cat's prior poop box and then emptied those poop-free contents straight into the new contraption. He started using the new contraption straight away and no problems. It's hilarious that every time he hears the contraption starting to self-clean, he rushes to the doorway and pokes his head around to check out what it's doing. He's a very nervous cat, so for him to use this straight away without any hiccups it amazing. No problems with him using it. I'm just trying to find where I can buy replacement plastic bags, so I will contact the company to find out.
