I was very nervous about this when my wife said she wanted one. We found one that just rocks back and forth without closing, and we've been pretty happy with it.
Omg this is so scary I have a litter robot that thing was not cheap it’s got sensors to make sure the little guy doesn’t get caught in it when it closes but what if they fail 😬
The Litter Robots I’m aware of rotate with the door at the pole, meaning the cat can always jump out. If the cat jumps in when the globe is dumping into the waste drawer, the globe does not rotate with enough force to seriously injure the cat. If you’re genuinely worried, stick your arm in and try to force it so you can get a sense of the absolute worst case scenario.
I think there are plenty of things to not be thrilled with Litter Robot about. I don’t feel this is one of them.

Ya, the litter boxes in the video don't look "cheap." This is cheap, and guaranteed not to decapitate your cats!

I dunno, man... you haven't met the little maniacs I live with

I think they meant the cheap version of the self cleaning type.

Probably should've said what they meant then ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Yeah, it was basically impossible to figure out.

If the top doesn’t come off then you should destroy it.
