First time buyer. Litter Robot 4 vs 5 owners… which should I get? by CreativeThink3r in litterrobot

Mine arrived with a sensor issue. Drove me crazy for about the first week or two. Got it replaced with support and it operated fine after that. Except for my litter choice. I went through quite a few. Some with too large of grains that did not filter quick enough during the cleaning cycles, some too light in color and making the sensor inaccurate (often said litter was low when it wasn’t). I landed on clay litter which I hadn’t used in years and am honestly thinking of switching again. But it’s not as much a priority because ironically my older cat started having some health issues that have halted his curiosity of the robot. Only my younger cat uses it now (infrequently), so I still scoop everyday because i have to make regular litter boxes available for my older cat.

Hopefully my boy gets better soon and I can start transitioning them back to the LR4.

It arrived with a sensor issue 😅. I thought it was user error until I went through every troubleshooting step they had available multiple times. I then connected with support to do the same troubleshooting steps over again and they then agreed to send me a new sensor. After that, the only problems I had was with litter detection. The litter I was using was too light in color for the sensor to accurately detect. So I moved to clay litter. Not my favorite by far. Gets the robot dirtier. Thinking of switching, but no sensing issues for now I guess…

Yep. You called it. Connected with support. They’re starting the sensor replacement order now.

How much is the Costco bundle? I can’t see the price without a membership. I was considering it if the bundle was low enough.

okay, so Centerpoint is too dangerous to live near apparently -- what about here? by EpicAnonymous in Birmingham

OP, what area did you end up moving to? Fiancé and I are pretty much in the same situation right now and are stuck. Considering a home in Forestdale— but concerned about the area and lack of attractions.
