I’ve had both the CatGenie and the Litter Robot 4. While the novelty of a washable cat litter made the CatGenie appealing and I used it with my two cats for a few years, it was just prone to not collecting all of the droppings and then air drying it, smelling up the whole house. Cleaning it was also a huge and disgusting pain in the ass when it got clogged up.
The Litter Robot 4 is significantly better. It’s quiet, easy to refill, cycles quickly, and with the newer firmwares being put out, is less prone to false positives with its sensors. The only iffy thing is still the full Litter drawing sensor saying the drawer is more full than it really is, but it’s a minor annoyance.
