The only box here that needs no bags and no litter dumping, because it washes granules and sends waste down the drain. That only works if it can sit beside a toilet or washer, and Cats.com found odor between cycles, missed waste and tracking granules, plus cartridges and granules are a recurring cost.
Best for: no bags or litter disposal. Skip if: you have no water and drain nearby.
