The PetPivot AutoScooper 12 earns a 4.9-star rating for its performance and value. It is a self-cleaning litter box that operates quietly at 32 dB, making it suitable for apartments and smaller spaces. The unit features an open design that gives cats plenty of room to move and a tray area of 12” × 14”. Its litter volume capacity is similar to a larger 15” × 16” model, so it works well for most cats unless they are particularly large.

The AutoScooper 12 pauses its cleaning cycle immediately when motion is detected, and it can be switched to manual mode or turned off to help younger kittens adjust. The manufacturer recommends emptying the drawer every 5-7 days to prevent odors, mold, and flies. At less than $150, the unit is positioned as a necessity rather than a luxury, offering quality, design, ease of use, and value scores of 5/5, 4.8/5, 4.8/5, and 5/5 respectively.

The product was invented by Brad Baxter and is described as compact and stylish. Its automatic cleaning function ensures every cat has a clean litter box for each visit, improving the cats’ quality of life.
