## What reviewers found

### Neakasa M1

- Cats.com (4/5): Easy cleaning and good app; bin sometimes reported full early, shutting the unit down; dust builds up on the surface. [Source](https://cats.com/neakasa-m1-self-cleaning-cat-litter-box-review)
- Catster (4.9/5): Cat interrupted the first cycle about 30 times and the box paused each time without pinching; odor became noticeable after about seven days. [Source](https://www.catster.com/lifestyle/neakasa-m1-open-top-self-cleaning-litter-box-review/)

### PetPivot AutoScooper 11

- PetsRadar: Called it a good entry level box; manual mode suited an anxious cat, the mat cut tracking, liners lasted 5 to 10 days, but the cord was short. [Source](https://www.petsradar.com/pet-tech/petpivot-autoscooper-11-review)
- The Gadgeteer: Easy setup and both modes worked, but the reviewer's cats never adopted it; noted poorly fitting bags and that the unit restarts in auto mode after power loss with a 30 minute delay. [Source](https://the-gadgeteer.com/2025/05/03/petpivot-autoscooper-11-litterbox-review/)
- Cats.com (4.2/5): Two medium cats used it within minutes and odor was well contained; a 17 lb cat could enter but not turn comfortably. Review names the PetPivot AutoScooper without a version number; its 10 L drawer and 3 lb minimum match the AutoScooper 11. [Source](https://cats.com/?p=114625)
