# Best self cleaning litter boxes under $500

This list is for cat owners who want automatic scooping without paying Litter-Robot prices. A box qualifies if its price was under $500 when we last checked. Before buying, check your cat's weight against the box's range, the height of the entry, and whether the box needs its own bags, litter or cartridges.
