Although cats bring an incredible amount of joy to our homes, a good amount of excrement also comes with them. But what if you don't feel like cleaning every time? Well, Xiaomi has just presented a new product that should bring the solution. It is in fact a smart litter, the CATLINK Automatic Litter Box Youth, now crowdfunding on the official Xiaomi Youpin website at the price of 999 Yuan (€ 126); let's find out more!
CATLINK Automatic Litter Box Youth: The new smart litter box is crowdfunding
Let's start with the external dimensions, the letter has a length of 60 cm, a width of 58 cm and a height of 71 cm. It adopts a decomposable design consisting of a base, a compartment for balls, a top cover and a compartment for excrements. The base then has a pyramidal shape and is heavy plus 9 kg to achieve greater stability and therefore avoid possible overturning.
As for the smart side, the litter box will detect when the cat has left the box for 3 minutes and will automatically clean it. At that moment, the sand is compacted after absorbing water, this allows better cleaning and will not produce a sticky bottom.
The lower part of the litter is also equipped with two sets of gravity sensors with high sensitivity and high precision, with the minimum recognition weight settling at 1,5 kg. Thanks to the accurate gravity sensor, if the cat suddenly returns while the machine is running, it will immediately stop working. Once the cat comes out, it will start running again. All to avoid accidents, of course.
Finally, the sand emission door adopts a similar technology to that of induction alarms for windows. So if the compartment recognizes a resistance to foreign objects during the operation, the emission of sand will be interrupted as long as there is no obstacle.
As mentioned above, the CATLINK Automatic Litter Box Youth is now crowdfunding in China at 999 Yuan (€ 126), while the list price will be 1699 Yuan (€ 214).
