Any recommendations on an automatic cleaning litter box?

2 cats
Don't really care about smart features, but prefer NOT to be required to use Wifi/Smartphone.
Not interested in changing litter or using proprietary litter formula
Not interested in models that require replacing consumables (filters, sprays, mats, etc)
Covered preferred but not required.
Under $500 Thanks!

The under $500 is harder.

But check out One Man 5 Cats. He's the GOAT of automated litter box reviews, you'll get honest, critical review of them.

Here's a video from last year: https://youtu.be/fqQQtW1HJQQ

PLEASE BE CAREFUL when going for budget devices

Some automated litter boxes kill cats by way of entrapment or pinch hazards. It's tragic.

Personally, I have a couple little robot threes and a couple little robot fours. I've had the threes for almost 4 years now and they definitely run into problems and have effectively stopped working in an automated fashion by this point.

The fours are going strong.

Of course, these are out of budget for you. Good luck!
