(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.

I spent many hours and weeks researching different litter boxes. Originally I went with another brand totally enclosed and I do like it but one of my four Cats won't go into it. I ordered an open top box and unfortunately it was not stable enough for my Big boys so ended up returning it. It rocked back and forth and they would not go in it. I discovered this one from popur and I really wish I'd found it first. It's perfect! I have four cats sizes 9 lb 12 lb 18 lb and 20 lb. For big cats all the other automated boxes out there seem very claustrophobic . Not with this box. Plenty of room. I've even had two of them get in there at the same time without a problem. As far as the waste receptacles my first purchase had a 10L compartment and that would fill up in 5 days. The waste receptacle on this Popur S5 is so large I am emptying it for the first time today. It's been set up for 12 days And three out four cats are using it regularly. 12 days! I used to scoop boxes every three days And now all I have to do is take a garbage bag out once every 12 days. You cannot imagine the relief!!!!

I ordered my Popur LitterBox as a brand new and unused item for $399.00 on July 15, 2025. I received the LitterBox toward the end of July 2025 (it took over a week to received my LitterBox). I have 3 cats and 3 different robot litter boxes (including this LitterBox). My other 2 robot litter boxes were purchased a year ago and both are still working like they are brand new. After 2 months of using this Popur Automatic Robot LitterBox, I cannot express enough, my extreme disappointment of this product. First of all, the split litter system does not have sensors that communicate to the LitterBox that the split litter bin is full. Which means the LitterBox will continually dump the waste into the bin, regardless as to whether the split litter bin is full or not. I discovered this issue after returning home from a 7 day trip and finding the litter bin was stacked full of the waste clumps, which overfilled onto the floor. Additionally, the LitterBox has a pivot crevice located just above the split litter waste bin. This crevice is in the worst location imaginable, as it will fill-up with the litter waste that is dumped into the split waste bin and gets gunked-up when it over-fills the split litter bin (due to the lack of sensors and communication between the litter box and litter waste bin). Due to this design flaw / poor design, I am constantly cleaning the surrounding floor beneath the split litter bin. Which is absolutely disgusting and unsanitary. The next design flaw of this LitterBox is the massive footprint it takes up, due to the split litter waste-bin. As you cannot access the split litter bin easily by reaching over the LitterBox (as the LitterBox itself is Two Feet in Length, the litter waste bin is an additional 9” in length on top of the 24” for the LitterBox. Meaning you’ll need about 3 Feet in length (plus the space for a litter mat to catch stray litter). As the split litter waste bin is not easy to reach by way of reaching over the LitterBox, you have to access the split litter waste-bin by the side for cleaning. The LitterBox and split litter waste bin are about 22 Inches Wide, of which you’ll need at least another 12 Inches / 1 Foot for access to perform clesning and removal of the waste bag with the cat waste. Which means this LitterBox takes up about 9-15 Square Feet of Space (3 Feet in Width and at least 3-5 Feet in Length when using a litter catching mat and a litter ramp for access to the box). Which is a massive footprint for any LitterBox! Had this LitterBox worked flawlessly and did not malfunction within 2 months of use (with 3 cats and 2 other Automatic Robot Litterboxes in the house (which are also used regularly by my cats), I would have zero issues sacrificing such a large footprint for my cats’ bathroom space, but again, both parts are defective. I had high hopes for the LitterBox but out of all of the Automatic Robot Litterboxes that I have purchased over 15 Years that I have had my cats, this LitterBox is by far the most disappointing. I have contacted customer service and requested to return my LitterBox for a full refund, due to the LitterBox being defective and not functioning per their design as advertised. I’ll update my review if Popur rightfully resolves the issue. UPDATE: This seller knowingly sells defective products. They do not issue refunds for their defective products thus forcing you to deal with their customer service department and a defective product you don’t want to keep. I tried to request a refund upon return of the LitterBox, due to the LitterBox and Litter waste bin both being defective. Popur denied the return, which I then had to file an A-Z claim after 2 months of having my LitterBox. Popur replied to my A-Z Claim with the offer to replace the split litter waste bin LID, which I did not want to deal with, as a littler box of the is price point should not be defective so early on. Due to Popur denying my claim, Amazon could not help me with the Claim again Popur, (Amazon could not provide customer service by way of returning the product for a full refund, as Popur now not an Amazon affiliated company). Which is an expensive lesson to learn to only purchase Amaxon affiliated merchandise to ensure the full extent of Amazon Customer Support, Services and Warranties. This LitterBox smells horrible, it does not block odors at all. My whole house stunk due to this LitterBox, PRIOR to the LitterBox defecting. FALSE ADVERTISEMENT BY POPUR: The clear detachable front panel was advertised falsely by Popur, as when detaching this panel for a senior cat to offer low entry, the litter does not stay in the box and upon my senior cat exiting of the LitterBox, the litter dumps out on the floor every single time. Thus, the clear front detachable panel should not be detachable, as it’s the only thing keeping the litter from pouring out during the exit from the LitterBox. All-in-all, I really dislike that I have to keep this $400 defective LitterBox that Popur clearly falsely advertised bad having features that are dysfunctional if used. Popur is a Horrible company, with horrible customer service, and highly unethical practices. I do not recommend this company! I have included a video to show my explained issues with the LitterBox being defective.

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

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.

Stopped working after one week Waiting for replacement control board Disappointing
