If your cat is more lion-sized than kitten-small or you’re juggling the daily routines of multiple feline friends, you’ve probably had your fair share of litter box drama. Cramped quarters, constant scooping, weird smells, and let’s not even talk about the “surprise” leaks on your floor. PETLUX clearly got the memo and decided it was time for a serious upgrade. Meet the PETLUX V3—a sleek, spacious, self-cleaning litter box that doesn’t just clean up after your cats but also tidies up a lot of the stress that comes with being a devoted cat parent.
This isn’t just another automatic litter box with fancy lights and big promises. The PETLUX V3 is designed specifically with large cats and multi-cat households in mind, combining thoughtful design, whisper-quiet automation, and eco-conscious waste solutions. It’s as if someone finally listened to what cat people have been yelling into the void for years.
Big Cats Need Big Real Estate
If you’ve ever watched your Maine Coon try to turn around in a regular litter box and end up moonwalking out of it, you already know that size matters. The PETLUX V3 brings in a hefty 100-liter capacity and a roomy 48 cm inner diameter—that’s more than enough space for large breeds like Ragdolls, Norwegian Forest Cats, or any other long, fluffy royalty who demands ample room for their royal business.
And if your household runs on a feline majority, the good news is that the V3 can easily keep up with up to four large cats without breaking a sweat—or leaking onto your floor. The seamless waterproof design eliminates those nasty puddles that tend to sneak out from the corners of traditional boxes, and it shuts down the risk of bacteria buildup in those tricky crevices. Translation: fewer weird smells, less mopping, and a home that smells like a home, not a zoo.
Set It and (Mostly) Forget It
Let’s be honest—scooping litter is not anyone’s idea of quality time. Thankfully, PETLUX V3 handles that part for you. Its internal rotating drum quietly separates the waste from clean litter after every visit. The process only takes 3.5 minutes and leaves the litter bed fresh and tidy for the next cat in line. In a single-cat household, you can go about 10 days before needing to empty the waste bin. Ten. Days. That’s basically a vacation from scooping.
The magic doesn’t stop there. You can control everything from the PETLUX app—whether you’re across the room or across the country. Need to start a cleaning cycle while you’re at work? Done. Want to know if your cat has used the box today? The app tracks that too, along with visit frequency and even your cat’s weight. That makes it easier to keep an eye on potential health issues like weight loss or litter avoidance without playing detective every day.
And yes, you can share app access with up to ten people, which is helpful if you’ve got multiple caretakers in the mix. No more “I thought you cleaned it!” moments.
Sniff Test: Passed
Let’s talk stink—or rather, the lack of it. PETLUX V3 tackles odors with a low-maintenance air filtration system that uses natural resin granules to soak up those unpleasant smells. It’s not some over-engineered deodorizer with more parts to break. It’s simple, effective, and only needs a filter change every two months.
When it comes to waste disposal, PETLUX gives you options. The standard setup works with biodegradable cardboard trays, which are disposable and compostable—perfect if you’re trying to cut down on single-use plastics. Want something more permanent? There’s a stainless steel waste tray add-on that’s reusable, odor-resistant, and, honestly, kind of classy. Either way, you’re skipping the landfill-clogging plastic bags most systems rely on, which gives your conscience a little less to carry.
Quiet Enough for the Most Dramatic Cats
Some automatic litter boxes sound like they’re prepping for takeoff, which doesn’t exactly instill confidence in your skittish Siamese. The PETLUX V3, however, hums along at just 30 decibels. That’s quieter than your fridge. Your cats won’t even flinch, and you won’t find yourself explaining the noise to every guest who visits.
On top of that, PETLUX is packed with a couple of smart safety features. Weight sensors know when your cat is inside and won’t start cleaning until they’re long gone. Infrared sensors kick in as a backup, pausing everything if a curious paw tries to jump in mid-cycle. It’s all about peace of mind—you won’t be nervously glancing at the litter box every time it moves.
Use What You Like—Within Reason
You’re not locked into using one special kind of litter with PETLUX V3, which is a relief. It plays well with most clumping varieties, including bentonite clay, corn-based, and activated carbon litters. So if you’ve already found a brand your cat actually likes (and doesn’t fling everywhere), you don’t have to make a change. Just avoid non-clumping litters, gel crystals, or wood pellets—they don’t get along well with the self-cleaning system.
Price and Where to Find It
The PETLUX V3 isn’t cheap, but if you’ve been burned by cheaper auto-litter boxes that clog, smell, or scare your cat into using the potted plant instead, this might feel like money well spent. The full retail price is $699, or about 650 euros if you’re shopping from across the pond. That said, early birds on the Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign can scoop one up for $399, which makes the price a lot easier to digest.
It comes in black or white, so whether your home aesthetic leans toward modern chic or cozy minimalism, the PETLUX V3 won’t be an eyesore. Biodegradable waste trays and the optional stainless steel bin will also be available for purchase, rounding out a setup that’s equal parts smart, sustainable, and genuinely helpful.
The Final Word
At the end of the day, the PETLUX V3 doesn’t try to be flashy. It just does what it’s supposed to do, quietly and efficiently, and gives you more time to enjoy your cats instead of chasing them away from a smelly litter box. Whether you’ve got one big cat or a small army of them, this is a practical, thoughtful upgrade that’s worth considering—especially if you’re tired of being the full-time scooper in your house.
Let’s be real—if your cat’s living like royalty, you shouldn’t be doing peasant labor. The PETLUX V3 gets that. You can back it on Kickstarter by clicking here; deliveries are expected to begin in August.
