The PETKIT PuraMax 2 is a rake-based automatic self-cleaning litter box designed for multi-cat households. It features a 76L interior waste bin that holds up to 15 days of waste, a low 7.87-inch entrance ideal for senior and mobility-limited cats, and dual odor control via a sealed drawer and N50 2.0 carbon filter. The box uses 11 total sensors (7 infrared + 4 weight) to detect approaching cats and pause cleaning for safety, with anti-pinch entrance guards.

Key features include:

  • App control (2.4GHz WiFi) for remote monitoring, cleaning-mode selection, and per-cat usage/weight tracking
  • Multi-cat friendly — accommodates cats 3.3–22 lbs; identifies each cat by weight and logs toilet frequency
  • Cleaning modes — auto, manual, timer, empty; compatible with all clumping litters
  • Build quality — seamless ShieldBase with 360° sealing, waterproof non-stick litter pad, elastic-edge design to prevent leakage
  • Hands-free operation — no complex panel controls; all functions via smartphone

Best for: Busy multi-cat households prioritizing health tracking and odor control over premium brand prestige. The low entrance makes it accessible for older or shorter cats. WiFi requirement and occasional user reports of sensor sensitivity are trade-offs.
