Meowant SC01 Self-Cleaning Litter Box
Budget globe box with a low 4.8 in entry for small or older cats
Researched by Riley Hart · updated Oct 30, 2026
Is the Meowant SC01 Self-Cleaning Litter Box worth it? A low cost globe box whose low entry suits small, senior or short legged cats in a small space. Cats.com scored it 4.2/5.
A low cost globe box whose low entry suits small, senior or short legged cats in a small space. The waste bin is small, so it fits one cat better than a busy multi cat home. Skittish cats may refuse it, as one of The Gadgeteer's test cats did.
Best for: one small or senior cat. Skip if: you have large cats or a multi cat home.

What independent reviewers found
- Scored 5/5 on price and appearance but 3/5 on construction; noted the small 6 L side bin, litter trapped in the drum gap and scatter from the low entry.
- Cats.com · 4.2/5
- Clean cycle took about 30 seconds and paused when a cat came within 12 in; weight detection was accurate and the bin was half full after 3 days. One of two test cats refused to use it; reviewer suggests it for a single calm cat under 10 lb.
