The PetCove PurrTek is an automatic self-cleaning litter box using a rotating drum mechanism that sifts waste into a sealed, disposable bag after each use. It combines a 12L waste capacity (15 days for one cat, 5 days for three cats), 5-sensor safety system (anti-pinch, weight, infrared), and Wi-Fi/Bluetooth connectivity with app control for scheduling, usage monitoring, and weight tracking. The unit includes triple odor control (sealed bin, deodorizing fan, negative-ion system) and works with standard clumping litter only. At 20.28" × 19.29" × 20.08", it's compact enough for smaller spaces and supports cats up to 18 lbs. Noise is rated as quiet operation with low-RPM rotation. Best suited for multi-cat homes seeking hands-off waste management with app tracking and health insights. PetCove is US-based with responsive customer support and offers a lifetime warranty.
