Why it matters
The Crystal Smart adds Wi-Fi to ScoopFree's rake-and-tray design. The My PetSafe app logs litter box use and health activity and reminds you when to swap trays.
A rake runs 20 minutes after each visit, pulling waste into a covered trap. Each disposable crystal tray lasts up to a month for one cat; a tray and a bag of crystal litter are included. It's for crystal litter only.
Who it's for, and who should skip it
Good fit if
- Single cats
- Owners who want usage data
- Minimal handling
Look elsewhere if
- Owners who prefer clumping litter
- Multi-cat homes
- Cats that dislike crystals
Pros and cons
Pros
- App log
- Tray reminders
- Month-long trays
Cons
- Crystal only
- Ongoing tray cost
- Wi-Fi for app
Limitations to weigh
- Set it on a hard, level floor near an outlet. Weight sensors read wrong on carpet or uneven tile, which can stop or trigger cycles.
- Automatic cycling has a minimum cat weight; keep automatic mode off for kittens under it and run cleans manually.
- Empty the waste bin before it's full and keep spare bags; an overfull bin is the most common cause of a stalled cycle.
- Running costs come from the bags, liners, filters and litter the maker specifies. The compatibility checker lists refills that state they fit.
