Why it matters
UPFAS sizes this drum for medium cats and kittens, in one- or multi-cat homes. The app connects over 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi or Bluetooth and logs each visit's weight, time spent and frequency.
UPFAS puts cleaning noise below 35 dB. The drum lifts out and is fully washable. It needs about 30 minutes of assembly; UPFAS suggests watching its video and reading the manual first.
Who it's for, and who should skip it
Good fit if
- Budget buyers
- Medium cats
- Bluetooth setup
Look elsewhere if
- Homes without a level spot near an outlet
- Cats that are afraid of moving parts
- Kittens under the maker's minimum weight
Pros and cons
Pros
- Low price
- Weight tracking
- Quiet
Cons
- Sized for medium cats
- Assembly required
- Cat count not stated
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.
