Top features
The Neakasa M1 Plus is an open-top automatic self-cleaning litter box with a rotary rake mechanism that continuously scans and cleans using a 6-array infrared sensor system. It uses standard clumping litter and features a large 11.2L waste drawer with a Pull & Wrap system that seals waste automatically. Designed for multi-cat households (up to 3 cats, 3.3–33 lbs per cat), it includes smart app control via Neakasa's mobile app for activity tracking and remote mode adjustment. The open-top design appeals to cats transitioning from traditional boxes and large breeds. Key features include upgraded odor sealing with a brush strip and composite ring reducing leakage to under 5%, a 7–14 day capacity between empties, and Kitten Manual Mode for smaller cats. At $379.99 (16% off list), it lands in the mid-to-premium segment. Backed by a 2-year protection plan. Best suited for multi-cat homes seeking low-touch scooping without the flagship price tag of Litter-Robot or PETKIT.
