I paid extra for the 5pro because of their absolutely false advertising. But there is no accurate waste, weight, or other health data. Now they have put up little stars and miniature disclaimers on their website that weren’t there before when I bought it. But disclaimers don’t change the fact that they are actually lying. Pet ID does not work. It went from assigning my cats to their weights correctly nearly 100% of the time, to assigning them incorrectly 100% of the time. So it is now perfectly inaccurate. Doesn’t matter if I go in there and manually change the weight assignments over and over. The software is incapable of learning. I spent 45 minutes with customer service giving tons of technical information about my wifi and phone, because the app says my cats only pee 2 ounces a day. Customer service said it should be fixed two weeks later. Eight weeks later, still not fixed, and now, after speaking to other LR users, I now know this feature has never worked. So NO cat ID. NO waste tracking. Literally no point to spending more on the pro. They lied on the product page, and now, after the fact say in tiny print that these features are in “development”. No they are not in development. They don’t work and they are getting away with false advertising to get you to spend more money. Only reason for three stars is the hardware works well. But the robot does not offer health insights at all due to these problems. Get the LR5 for the best hardware (but no hopper). Do not waste your money on the pro.
Oh and fun fact—they have access to the video feed so that they can use it to conduct research and sell to other companies for research. The data is not stored locally, it is on a cloud to them. So if you happen to walk by your litter robot in your underwear or have it in your bathroom, they can see that, you have been warned! Luckily it is my kitchen. But half of the videos of my cats have me in them because they use their box when I am active, and the robot can see upwards to human head height if you are about 4 feet away due to wide angle lenses.

I don’t usually write reviews, but this experience genuinely deserves one.
I’ve been a Litter-Robot user for about six years, and it’s something I rely on daily. I’m a full-time caregiver, and having dependable systems at home isn’t optional — it’s essential. When my Litter-Robot 4 began failing (missed cycles, constant “full” readings, and inconsistent detection), it created real stress in a situation that already demands a lot.
What made the difference was the people behind the product.
From the very beginning, Nicole approached my concerns with professionalism, empathy, and genuine care. Mateo then carried that same level of attention forward, ensuring nothing was missed and that I felt supported throughout the process. Every response felt human — not scripted, not rushed — just people who clearly care about what they do.
After some initial troubleshooting, the team made the decision to replace the entire unit, not just a component. That level of accountability and commitment to getting it right is rare, especially today.
I’ve always believed this is the best product in its category. Now I can say with confidence that the support behind it is just as strong.
To anyone considering this product: when everything works, it’s fantastic. But more importantly — if something goes wrong, you are dealing with a company that stands behind what they sell, and a support team that truly shows up.
That’s what earns long-term loyalty.
I’ll be updating this review once the new unit is up and running, but based on this experience alone, I have full confidence in the outcome.
