Quiet, easy-to-set-up self-cleaning litter boxes that cost less than premium rivals, held back by lighter construction on the original model and app accuracy with similar-weight cats.

- Meowant SC01 Self-Cleaning Litter Box
- Meowant SC09 Self-Cleaning Litter Box
Meowant makes self-cleaning cat litter boxes, along with automatic feeders, air purifiers and odor-control accessories. Its litter boxes use a rotating drum that sifts clumps into a sealed drawer after each visit, with an app that logs which cat went and how much it weighs. This Meowant review covers the original globe-shaped box and the larger newer model, what hands-on reviewers liked and disliked, what the boxes and supplies cost, and how the warranty and trial work. The short version: Meowant boxes are quiet, easy to set up and cheaper than the best-known premium brand, with build quality and app accuracy as the main caveats.

Meowant review: our verdict in brief
Meowant is a good choice if you want to stop daily scooping without paying top-tier prices, especially in a home with several cats or a large breed. Reviewers praise the quiet operation, quick setup and useful app. Expect a learning curve for deep cleaning, some plasticky construction on the original model, and an app that can confuse cats of similar weight. Use the trial period to check your cats will accept it.
How we researched this review
We read a hands-on review of the original box from Cats.com, a long-term review from Cat Care Solutions (which received its unit free from Meowant), Gadget Flow's look at the newer, larger box, a buyer-guide review from The Buyers Reviews, a listing-based review of the odor deodorizer, and Meowant's own store for prices and policies. We did not use a Meowant box ourselves, so every finding is credited to the reviewer who reported it.
The litter boxes
Meowant SC01 Self-Cleaning Litter Box
The SC01 is the globe-shaped model that most reviews cover. Cats.com tested it for several weeks and scored it 4.2 out of 5: 5/5 for appearance and price, 4/5 for ease of cleaning and odor control, but only 3/5 for construction. Its reviewer noted a compact 20 x 21 inch footprint, a low 4.8-inch entry, and that it works with clumping clay, tofu, mixed or crystal litters, provided granules stay under 0.59 inches. Customer quotes in that review praise the quiet operation and app tracking, while one owner felt the deep-clean process took too long to be worth the price.
Cat Care Solutions used one with five cats and rated it 5/5 for quietness, safety, setup and self-cleaning, noting operation under 40 dB and setup in about 10 minutes. Its main complaint was the app: cats of similar weight were sometimes logged as each other, and fixing a wrongly assigned visit meant deleting that cat's data and starting again.
Meowant SC09 Self-Cleaning Litter Box
The SC09 is Meowant's larger, newer box. Gadget Flow describes a 106L interior for cats from 3.3 to 30 pounds, an 8.27-inch entry suited to older or heavier cats, app tracking for 30+ cats, and a 6.7L sealed waste drawer with deodorizing gel that Meowant says can last up to 14 days. Its reviewer found setup simple, with the box arriving mostly assembled and pairing to the app over 2.4GHz Wi-Fi, and liked that the technology stays in the background.
The Buyers Reviews lists the SC09 at $789.99 regular and $649.99 on sale, and highlights its nine-sensor safety system and multi-cat capacity, though its write-up reads largely as promotional.
Accessories and odor control
Meowant also sells liners, an extended warranty and a wireless odor deodorizer. Sortra describes the deodorizer as a rechargeable, motion-sensing unit with a 2000mAh battery rated for up to two weeks and a listed maximum of 32 dB, and cautions that the claim of removing up to 99% of smells comes from the listing rather than independent testing.
Prices, warranty and trial
Meowant's boxes cost less than the premium market leader. Cats.com noted the original box was $256.49 on Amazon at the time of its review, and Gadget Flow positions the larger model as a high-capacity option.
| Model | Price | Warranty | Trial |
|---|---|---|---|
| Self-Cleaning Smart Cat Litter Box | $299.99 (Meowant) | Two years under store policy | Thirty-day trial under store policy |
| Meowant 106L self-cleaning litter box (larger model) | $789.99 regular, $649.99 on sale (The Buyers Reviews) | Two years under store policy | Thirty-day trial under store policy |
| Self-Cleaning Litter Box Extended Warranty | $49 (Meowant) | Extends coverage | Not applicable |
| Heavy Duty Cat Litter Box Liners | $14.99 (Meowant) | Not applicable | Not applicable |
| Automatic Litter Box Liners roll pack | $23.99 (Meowant) | Not applicable | Not applicable |
The Meowant store currently promises a 2-year warranty, a 30-day trial with returns if your cat does not take to it, and free shipping on orders over $100. Older reviews such as Cats.com mention a 1-year warranty, so check the terms that apply to the model you buy. Running costs include liners and deodorizing gel.
Meowant pros and cons
Pros:
- Very quiet operation that does not scare most cats
- Quick, simple setup and an app that tracks each cat's visits and weight
- Cheaper than the best-known premium self-cleaning boxes
- The larger model fits big cats and multi-cat homes
- Trial period and warranty on the store
Cons:
- The original model's construction feels less robust than pricier rivals

- Some promotional reviews overstate the case
Who should buy Meowant, and who should skip it
Meowant suits busy cat owners who want to cut daily scooping, multi-cat homes, and owners of large or older cats who need a roomy box with a low entry. The larger model is the better pick for big cats and several cats; the cheaper box suits one or two average-sized cats.
Skip it if your cats are very wary of new things and you cannot manage a gradual introduction, if you want the most robust build available, or if you rely on precise per-cat health data from similar-weight cats.

Our ratings
Overall: 4/5, because Cats.com and Gadget Flow found Meowant boxes quiet, easy to set up and good value, while construction on the original model and app accuracy hold the brand back.
Meowant SC01 Self-Cleaning Litter Box: 4/5, since Cats.com rated its appearance, price and odor control well but marked its construction lower.
Meowant SC09 Self-Cleaning Litter Box: 4/5, as Gadget Flow praised its roomy interior, low entry and easy setup, though at a much higher price than the original.
