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!
