what is
[Music]
it I've been using self-cleaning SL
automatic glitter boxes since 2015 and
I've been reviewing them on this channel
since 2020 my first one the cat gen
wasn't used much by my cats but the
little robot 3 which I bought in 2018
was a big hit with my five cats at the
time hence the name of the
channel some people criticize cat owners
who use them as lazy you know just to
make things easier for them rather than
actually better for their cats I
strongly disagree with this thanks to
them my cats always have a clean litter
bed to use I've got seven cats now and
they use two littleit robot fours unless
you work from home all day every day
it's possible to keep manual boxes clean
for them when you're not home even with
multiple boxes well I suppose if you had
like 10 maybe you could do that cats
don't want to use dirty boxes and these
machines mean they don't have to anymore
over the last four years I've tested
more than 20 different machines across
five videos most of them haven't really
been great and have had numerous issues
urine leaks being the most common
problem in fact I've I've only really
recommended a handful of different
machines across the videos and some of
those have
caveats the things I talk about in every
review the most important factor for any
self-cleaning automatic litter box is
safety if there's any risk to my cats I
will absolutely not use them no matter
how good the rest of it is of those 20
plus machines I've only encountered two
that I don't consider 100% safe one of
them actually states in the instruction
manual that you shouldn't use it
unsupervised which is uh pretty
ridiculous as that defeats the purpose
of
it at the end of July there were a
couple of posts in myself cleaning
little box Discussion Group which shared
a video on Tik Tok from A lady called
Karly J Who described how her automatic
litter box killed her cat a beautiful
one-year-old simes girl called Moshi
yesterday
morning um we woke up me and my
2-year-old daughter and I went to find
my cat and she was
um hang hanging from
um her litter box it had closed on her
neck and her body was hanging out and
there
was red stuff um all over like
everywhere and she was
gone she didn't say what machine it was
but she did clarify in the follow-up
video that it wasn't an actual litter
robot but something she had bought off
of Amazon she didn't name it in this
video either but she did in the comments
her videos started to go viral but then
just a few days after they were uploaded
they were gone so I started to
investigate I needed to know if this was
real and if potentially deadly machines
were being being sold had already found
the one that she named on Amazon a few
days earlier sold under the brand AMS
toy astonishingly they even called it
litter robot by am's toy using whisker's
litter robot font this is absolutely not
a lit robot and it shows just how dodgy
this company is in a review section
there was a photo of one covered in
blood stating that it had killed their
cat it wasn't under her name but it had
to be her machine but after the Tik Tok
videos were removed that review no
longer had the photo on it and was now
positive then a few days later the
entire listing for the AMS toy was gone
there was a lot of very similar looking
machines and the different names on
Amazon and Wayfair in the US not just
under the AMS toy name after looking at
the photos and videos of them I saw a
potential danger so I had to buy one to
see for myself as Amazon and W in the UK
don't sell any of them I had to buy it
from AliExpress which I strongly
recommend never doing but I had no
choice it cost me
£165 80 for
shipping 4 weeks later it arrived it had
no brand on it and they didn't actually
send me the one I ordered which was
identical to the AMS toy version minus
the ears but what I received was still
the same fundamental design just with a
big old waist bin and no ears it's one
of the C generic machines which are
generally bought in bulk and branded by
a random company that's why you see so
many identical ones online with
different
names I immediately started testing it
straight out the box as shipped and had
my fears confirmed
[Music]
I don't even know how I'm supposed to
freak the key thing that makes this
machine dangerous is that the opening
for the entrance is a single piece of
plastic which is attached to the base
now this is fine for a machine that
rotates on the X
AIS but this this rotates on the Y AIS
so as it Cycles the opening closes
because that piece of plastic opening is
attached to the base and not split in if
a cat gets caught in it then there's no
[Music]
Escape if the opening was split in two
with the top part attached to the top
section of the machine like the
Furbulous for example that if a cat
somehow got caught in it then the top
would lift off and the cat could Escape
I say somehow because it shouldn't get
this far as these machines have safety
features which are designed to stop a
cleaning Cycle Stop the rotation if it
detects a cat the vast majority of
machines that rotate on the y-axis
during a cleaning cycle don't have a top
so there is no opening to close off the
machine that I bought does indeed have
three safety features there's the weight
sensors an infrared sensor
on the front entrance that will pause
the machine if a cat gets close to it or
enters it the third safety measure is
the pinge detector and this is very
important what this does if during the
rotation it detects resistance then it's
supposed to stop and move
back during these initial tests I found
that whilst the sensors would pause the
cycling if the weight and all infrared
sensors were triggered this was only for
a few seconds here I'm pressing down
putting my weight on it and covering the
infrared sensor both indeed pause
cycling briefly it should not resume
like this if a cat put its paws on the
front and peered in it should wait until
those triggered sensors were cleared
instead it just pauses briefly and
resumes which is making both sensors
redundant now a pinch detector should
getting a sense of resistance from here
and reversing but it doesn't it carries
on
God that really
hurts if you can see in my
hand the
marks I was over the free myself but
that really
hurts the inside rim of the plastic
opening is actually quite sharp too so
that combined with the fource and the
three safety measures all failing to do
their job made this machine incredibly
dangerous
once I had finished these initial tests
I connected it to the 2-year smart app
to see if there were any firmware
updates and yeah there was one so I
installed it and amazingly the sensor
started to work properly including the
pinch detector so were all my tests a
complete waste of time and it design
safe well no my machine sends me without
the new firmware and there was nowhere
any documentation of the manual and no
message from the seller to tell me to
make sure that I keep the firmware up to
date and to keep checking through the
app in fact the manual didn't have any
safety instructions whatsoever didn't
even say that there is a minimum weight
before you should turn on automatic
cycling to put your own branding on a
generic machine you generally need to
buy a minimum of 1,000 units with at
least a dozen machines sold under
different names of similar designs
including the amtoy that means there's
tens of thousand thousands of these
potential death traps out there maybe
even more and with a lot of them already
being used in people's homes from my
experience in my Facebook group I know
that many people don't bother with apps
which means if they have one of these
then they won't have the safer firmware
are the sellers on Amazon Wayfair and
AliExpress contacting people who've
bought them to tell them that they must
update the firmware well if this was a
single machine sold by a well-known
brand I'm sure they would but with with
all these different random companies
it's doubtful I just really hope that
they are then there's just how good are
the sensors how reliable are they
sensors fail especially cheap sensors
and looking at the build quality of this
I highly doubt the sensors are high
quality so if the sensors stop working
then you still have this incredibly
dangerous design of the opening closing
off with no way to
escape even if it didn't have these
safety issues it's a bad machine that's
badly made it doesn't have a litter mat
inside it just bare plastic a rotating
machine needs to have a non-stick litter
mat liner that when it Cycles it drops
in the middle to dislodge clumps without
one urine clumps will just stick to the
plastic it won't be pleasant about a
week ago k j messaged me in a Tik Tok
app in reply to one of my comments on
her videos we had quite a few
conversations and she told me what
happened why she had removed the videos
and I told her that everything is off
the Record it's just for my research but
she said she was happy for me to use
anything and she sent me photos and a
video of her beloved Moshi Amoy had
given her financial settlment to delete
the videos and the Amazon review as part
of the settlement Amoy would remove the
machine from sale her husband was unable
to delete the Amazon review so he
changed it to a positive one I'm
absolutely not judging her for taking
the assessment I don't know how much she
received she'd say that it wasn't much
but she did it under the assurance that
Amoy would remove their product from
Amazon the thing is should realize that
it sold under so many different names
and different variations of the same
design removing the AMS toy version
that's going to make a very little
difference Carly also told me about a
lady called Trish who messaged her to
say that her cat had also been killed by
the AMS toy machine and she put me in
touch with her Trisha's kitten Charlie
was 3 months old and over the minimum
weight that the manual States a cat
should be before turning on autocycling
on the 19th of July Trish got a video
call from her 13-year-old daughter
frantically telling her that Charlie's
neck was caught in the closed opening
when her daughter showed her on the
phone camera she could see that it was
already too late because she was far
away at the time Trish called the
non-emergency Le's phone number and an
officer came around had her daughter
wait outside and freed poor Charlie
placing his lifeless body on the bed he
was a rescue kitten and had been in his
forever home for Just 4 weeks before his
life was horrifically cut
short Trish also shared with me a review
on the now deleted AMS toy Amazon
listing about a cat that had also gotten
stuck in the opening but the owner was
able to rescue her in time but it
doesn't end there there was another
Facebook post in my Facebook group that
shared this story about a 5-month old
kitten that was found suffocated in the
waist STW I wasn't able to contact the
person who posted this originally or the
owner of the cat to confirm any of this
that it's entirely plausible that a
kitten could have ended up in the waist
bin and suffocated it's a horrible
thought I tried to contact toy to get a
statement but their online presence is
very minimal and especially now that the
Amazon listings are gone I did find
their YouTube channel so I left a
comment asking if they could get in
touch with me they didn't reply or email
me instead they deleted my comment
deleting seems to be their way of
dealing with things if you own an AMS
toy or any other similar design machines
then please update the firmware then
make sure you test it like I have in
this video but even if you can update
the firmware I just don't think you
should use it anymore I hope this video
can help get all of them removed from
sale everywhere and get to the people
who already have them to warn them
Amazon Ware must act and act fast and
remove all of them the ones on eBay and
AliExpress will be a lot harder to stop
being sold but I hope they are I
couldn't return the dangerous machine to
AliExpress for a refund this despite the
listing sating free returns they
insisted that I pay for the return
shipping I got some quotes sell it back
to China because it's so big and so
heavy the very cheapest that I could
find was
£236 and my refund would be
£240 so I send it back I'd get £4 back
great so yeah don't buy from AliExpress
don't buy these generic machines don't
buy these Brands which have all these
random names buy from recognized Brands
ideally with a history of making
selfcleaning automatic litter boxes and
if they don't have a history at lease
they have made other electronic cat
products and not just some startup and I
would also be careful about anything on
Indiegogo because these are beta
machines and you are going to be testing
them I'd always recommend waiting at
least a year after the machine's been
out to let it all settle in and be much
better do your research check out
reviews there's lots of them out there
but you can't trust a lot of them
especially the Amazon ones a lot of them
are fake there's ones which are been
paid for in exchanged for the product
and obviously YouTube reviews there's
mine and those are incredibly thorough
and I completely stand by them so check
those out there are other videos on
YouTube some of them are very good but
some of them aren't especially the ones
which say they rev viws but they clearly
been paid for by the company if you've
been paid to make a review it's not a
review it's a commercial I was really
unhappy with the safety features of the
poer X5 in my review of it is it any
better now a little bit as they've added
some firmware which only extends The
Rake out fully if there's enough litter
but they're still insisting that it's
safe for cats of any size including
kittens and um ferrets that's absolute
nonsense there's no machine should be
used by cats under a certain weight with
auto cleaning on they do say in the FAQ
on their website put on the fence when
using it with them this isn't mentioned
in the Manual's basically non-existent
safety instructions cats and especially
kittens as you know are notorious for
getting themselves into all sorts of
pickles as shown in this Tik Tok video
from March if the bin lid closes on a
kitten in the waist bin there's no way
they could get out without intervention
from a human poer need to stop saying
it's safe for kittens how is this safe
that could have been a kitten a tiny
kitten they claim this is safe for
kittens you got thrown into the waist
basket
Dusky and that could have closed on you
and you could have suffocated in there
there are very few sensors in the X5 I
was told the reason is by the CEO poer
the man who threatened Tumi said he
found machines that kept stopping during
a cleaning cycle annoying he trusted in
his machines mechanics and a cat's sense
of
self-preservation right please don't let
what happened to Charlie and Moshi put
you off buying self-cleaning litter
boxes they are safe well the vast
majority of them are please still make
sure you maintain them and keep them
clean as I've said many times on the
channel the little robot fors are easily
my favorite so cleaning litter boxes and
they are packed with safety features
entry sensors weight detection pinch
detectors and even sensors in the waist
bin to detect
movement and if the LZ robot 4 detects
any issues with any sensors then it will
tell you through the app and it's light
display on the front and it won't
autocycle until the issue is resolved
many of the new machines have the waist
been inside the cylinder which means
there's no openings which makes them
super safe the downside is having the
waist spin there as you don't have any
waist bin F detectors and the bins tend
to be really quite small my favorite
budget machine is now the new Fury taale
which is made by UB te who also make my
previous favorite the aobo otherwise
known as the meow want
sc01 it's super safe pretty nice size
inside and the waist compartment is a
bit bigger than the others although
there's still no pin for sensor I will
be covering this in a review as soon as
I can along with my new L robot 4 review
which will cover my 2 and 1/2 years of
using them as well as the surprisingly
great new litter Auto refilling litter
Hopper accessory if any of my videos
have been helpful and please use your
filet links in the description including
one that will give you $50 off the
little robot 4 it helps me make videos
like this and buy machines to test and
review and if they have really helped
you then please consider using the
thanks button below the video I really
appreciate it that's it from this sad
but important a video I hope to see you
in a happier one
soon is it funny yeah
