What's the benefit exactly? A friend moved across the globe, so we were gifted a litter robot. It takes much longer to cycle than a human, and it's not like scooping the litter is an arduous task.

Smell I would think would be the only benefit really? I cannot attest to that since I do not have one though. It is hard justifying myself putting down $500+ for something that takes a few minutes a day to deal with. I guess it is nice.

I got one of those as well, it is the best desk for the money. I wanted a really nice desk and everything was 5k or more for something bigger and rugged. I bought all the accessories for mine other than the desk pad but I plan on getting it as well. Huge upgrade from the IKEA desk I've been using for two decades.

Sounds like a bad dragon dildo. If you're brave enough it probably could be.

I just picked a post to respond to.
I think it would depend on the number of cats. 1 cat, likely not a huge benefit. We have three cats though and if we aren't Johnny on the spot about continuous scooping, the shared litter box gets bad. And we really didn't want to try and maintain 3 litter boxes. The Litter Robot, so far, has been pretty much set and forget. The smell is greatly reduced but not completely. I feel like they could tweak the design a bit and improve that. The cats also aren't slinging litter all over the place when they try to cover up the crap, so everything is better contained.
Very subjective about the value, for sure. But we're happy with it. I also do really like the tracking it does by cat and frequency of using it and charting their weight. We were getting concerned about one of our cats before having this and her weight, but now we can see she is pretty steady and is regularly going.

That sucks. So far ours hasn't had any issues with errors. Did read a bit about that on Reddit though before we bought and researching the alternatives that are out there.

Holy fucking shit. I have two cats and was reading this and thought, hmm, I like technology, maybe I'll buy one.
$899?? What the fucking fuck? Yeah, a metal scooper and a pad for my bad knees is going to have to suffice.
Even the bare-bones older model (3) is $549. I'm gonna have to eat a lot of Taco Bell to save that much money.

Gift cards don't only come from returns.
He could be a scammer that accumulates gift cards from old ladies, for example.
