One-line verdict
An automatic cat litter box that recognises its regulars like a tiny nightclub bouncer, provided your cats fit its strict 1.5–10 kg guest list.
Best for
Multi-cat households with cats between 1.5 and 10 kg that want separate app records and less frequent scooping.
Skip it if
Skip it if any cat is outside the 1.5–10 kg range, or if the only available spot is a carpeted corner of the flat.
The full picture
There are many things a modern home asks us to monitor: parcels, thermostats, sourdough starters, the mysterious damp patch by the window. The PETKIT Purobot Max Pro 2 adds feline toilet records to that list, which sounds absurd right up until several cats share one tray and somebody needs to work out who is doing what.
This is a substantial automatic cat litter box, measuring 657 × 538 × 603 mm and weighing about 11 kg. It needs a hard, level surface, with 5 cm of clearance from walls; carpets underneath are specifically discouraged because they can interfere with the sensors. In other words, this is not a dainty gadget to tuck behind a pot plant. It is an appliance with a very specialised calling.
The unusual bit is the fixed 1080p camera and the system that combines facial recognition with weight sensing to keep individual cats’ records separate in the PETKIT app. Cats of similar weight can still be distinguished, according to PETKIT. We think that makes this less a conventional self-cleaning tray and more an oddly competent little operations centre for a multi-cat household.
Its 76-litre cylinder, 255 mm entrance height and 8-litre waste bin give the specification some proper scale. PETKIT says one cat can go up to 17 days without scooping, though that plainly changes with feline headcount and bathroom enthusiasm. The appeal is not that litter duties become glamorous; it is that the recurring chore becomes less likely to ambush a rushed morning.
The Irresistible
- Facial recognition and weight sensing are used to distinguish individual cats and retain separate app records, including for cats with similar weights.
- The 1080p HD camera has a 210° field of view, while the fixed position avoids any suggestion that the litter tray is about to begin panning dramatically across the room.
- The 8-litre waste bin uses contactless drawstring waste packing; PETKIT states up to 17 days without scooping for one cat, subject to usage.
The Clever Part
- It supports both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz Wi-Fi through the PETKIT app, rather than demanding a peculiar networking ritual at the router.
- Two supplied sifters cover larger-particle litter such as tofu and mixed litter, plus finer bentonite and mineral/clay litter.
- PETKIT states an operating level of 35 dB, and the anti-pinch design with 12 safety sensors pauses the unit when a cat is nearby or inside the cylinder.
The Fine Print
- The camera is fixed and does not rotate, so its 210° view is the view you get.
- PETKIT advises against litter pieces longer than 12 mm, making litter choice another small domestic policy document.
- One-way audio means the microphone can capture sound, but there is no stated two-way conversation feature for interrogating the cat remotely.
The Reality Check
- Cats must weigh between 1.5 and 10 kg; households with a kitten below that range or a notably large cat are simply outside the stated fit.
- At approximately 11 kg and 657 × 538 × 603 mm, it needs a deliberate location on a hard, level floor rather than an optimistic gap beside the washing basket.
Buyer questions answered
Is the PETKIT Purobot Max Pro 2 suitable for multiple cats?
Yes, it can distinguish cats using facial recognition and weight sensing, including cats with similar weights, and keep their records separate in the PETKIT app. It supports cats weighing 1.5–10 kg, so check the household roster before buying.
Does the PETKIT Purobot Max Pro 2 have a camera and facial recognition?
Yes, it has a fixed 1080p HD AI camera with a 210° field of view, facial recognition and weight sensing. The camera also has a microphone and one-way audio, but it does not rotate.
How does the PETKIT Purobot Max Pro 2 app work?
The PETKIT app connects to the unit over 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz Wi-Fi and keeps separate records for recognised cats. It is a reasonably modern way to monitor a task that usually involves a scoop and a sigh.
How long can the PETKIT Purobot Max Pro 2 go without scooping?
For one cat, the manufacturer states up to 17 days without scooping, using the 8-litre waste bin and contactless drawstring waste packing. The duration varies with the number of cats and how often they use it, because cats do not consult spreadsheets.
How spacious is the PETKIT Purobot Max Pro 2?
The cylinder has a stated capacity of 76 litres, the entrance is 255 mm high, and the unit measures 657 × 538 × 603 mm (width × depth × height). It is worth measuring the intended corner rather than relying on optimism and a tape measure found in a drawer.
What type of surface does the PETKIT Purobot Max Pro 2 need?
It should be placed on a hard, level surface with at least 5 cm of clearance from the walls, and carpets should not be placed beneath it because they may interfere with sensor operation. In other words, the carpeted corner is not invited.
