The verdict
Why it scored a 78
The truly hands-off design: no waste drawer, because it scoops, flushes, washes and warm-air dries itself in a roughly 34-minute cycle, which is why Features leads at 90 and Cats.com named it best self-flushing box in August 2026. You need bathroom or laundry-room plumbing, the box is unavailable several times a day during cycles, granule tracking and between-cycle odor are common complaints, and consumables run about $100 a year. At $429–479, Warranty is the softest at 66 (2 years, voided by third-party granules); the newer Whoosh cycles in 7 minutes.
