### Petlibro Luma

- Cats.com (4.5/5): Easy setup, quick cat acceptance, quiet raking and a sealed drawer; AI analysis needs a subscription and some owners report weight sensor false detections. [Source](https://cats.com/petlibro-luma-automatic-litter-box-review)
- Tom's Guide: After several months with two cats, the cats used it more than a Litter-Robot 5 placed beside it, and the app flagged when one cat stopped using the box for a week.

### Whisker Litter-Robot EVO

- Vetstreet: A veterinarian used it for about two weeks in a multi cat home and praised odor control and automation, but said the Litter-Robot 5 Pro would have suited her household better. [Source](https://www.vetstreet.com/pet-product-reviews/litter-robot)
- TechnoMEOW: Used for a couple of months with three or more cats; setup was quick, but a mat edge caused a position fault error and app disconnects were more frequent than on the Litter-Robot 4 until a firmware update. [Source](https://technomeow.com/litter-robot-evo-review/)
