PetSnowie sent me their self-cleaning litter box. So in this video, I want to test it out to see if Tiger likes it
0:07
So up top we're gonna have the instruction manual a litter box fragrance insert a rubber mat waste drawer liners and the power adapter
0:18
And finally the litter box itself. Alright now taking a closer look There's gonna be three buttons here on the right side
0:24
This is where the entrance is gonna be and funny enough there is gonna be this cloth
0:28
so my cat goes in he could just push it aside and then he comes out goes right
0:32
out so I guess this can prevent some of the litter from coming inside now this
0:36
top cover does come off and there also is going to be a lid right on top and when I do open it up there's gonna be some instructions here and here's a
0:45
closer look at what comes on the cap itself it tells us about lighting an indication and a solution so if any problems occur we know how to fix it and
0:52
inside here is where the litter goes and this is gonna rotate and move and I
0:55
actually can take this off so you can get a closer look and here's the space of it at the bottom
1:01
there's going to be this rubber liner and everywhere else is going to be made out of plastic
1:07
this here so the litter can go right through here and then the big clumpy stuff can stay up top and
1:12
just be disposed of once it finishes turning and then here's what the top side looks like so there's
1:16
going to be these fuzzy bits inside here it leads to the drawer itself and this can just be easily
1:22
pulled out and then right there is where the waste bag goes which I'll put in a little bit
1:28
and now on the right side there is going to be this cover so that's where the fragrance
1:34
filter can go in and then right here is where the rubber mat can go just like so and the fragrance
1:40
box can go right on the back side and the cool thing is this does have some magnets so when I
1:45
place it, it'll stick onto it and it'll stay in place. And it can be put back just like so
1:53
Now it's time to install the trash bag and this is pretty unique because it does have holes and
1:57
does have to be put in a certain way down here. So when it pulls this out, this can be moved just like so. Place the bag in and then the holes can go right over here
2:15
Then same thing on the other side. And now the other side of the bag can be stretched out all the way to the other end just like so
2:25
And make sure the bag is placed nicely in there
2:38
And now when I go to close it, and I open it up again, the bag is going to be completely
2:46
closed so when it's time to scoop all this out, it's easy just to take it out and then
2:51
throw the bag away. And then when I push it back in this is actually going to open up And it opens the bag up so you can really see that action happening but it is opening up and just to confirm that it is opened I can remove the top Remove this part and then we can see the bag is right there and then you can also notice that when I pull the drawer out
3:12
It just closes Just like so and then it opens back up once I push it in so before tiger uses
3:18
I do want to put some litter in here and now you can just open the cap up and put it right in there
3:24
But to have as much room as possible, I'm actually gonna take off the cover or also known as the bonnet
3:39
All right, so now it's time to check out the pets to know we app So I downloaded it and now I just have to sign up real quick
3:45
All right, I created my account I can press go to app and then I'll
3:51
continue got it continue Bluetooth is on allow add device let's know he's requesting the
4:02
following so location I'll continue and then add right here I'll click next then
4:08
press and hold the R button for five seconds until the Wi-Fi indicator flashes confirm Wi-Fi indicator light blinks approximately once every one
4:16
second so it's currently flashing so actually let me hold it and there it's
4:25
slowed down so now it's blinking one every second so I'll confirm click next
4:31
and let me put my Wi-Fi password and now the device is currently being added so
4:36
I'll be back once that finishes and there it's successfully been added and I
4:40
can also edit the name if I want to change it but for now I'll leave it as
4:43
is, click finish, and then click done. And here's what the interface looks like so far. So the first
4:52
thing to do is to set the unit. So I'm going to leave it in pounds and save. And right here
4:58
we can press to clean it up, we can empty the litter, deodorize it, unlock it, go to smart
5:03
settings. And then here it tells me how many times or how many days left for the fragrance
5:08
being remaining, how many times the litter box has been visited, how long on average the litter box
5:13
is used for. So in this case the stats are blank because nothing was used. And then here we could
5:17
see work logs and again nothing was done to it so there's no information on that whatsoever. And yeah
5:22
that's about it for the app here. Let's check smart settings and here it says auto cleaning so it's
5:27
currently set to four minutes so that means after Tiger finishes using this after four minutes it'll
5:32
be cleaned and I can lower it to as little as two minutes or wait until an hour and that's going to
5:37
be too long so I'll go back to four minutes. We also have an option for scheduled cleaning and
5:41
and it's currently off. But if I want, I can set this at a certain time and a certain frequency
5:46
but I'll leave it as is for now. Auto deodorizing is currently on. Schedule deodorizing is off
5:52
Control panel lighting. Well, that's cool. So let's see. Yeah, when I turn it off here
5:56
you can see all the lights turn off When I turn it on they back on And then weight unit again it was in pounds And then pet ID So let see what this does It says create new pet ID update cat weight So I create ID Yeah I can put a picture
6:12
of him, put a name. So I'm going to put tiger. And there I got his profile picture. I can click next
6:17
And I can search what kind of breed he is. I can select gender, and then his birthday
6:22
and his weight, and then complete. And just like that, his profile is finished. And now when going
6:27
Going back to the main screen, we could see work logs and here's things that currently occurred
6:31
So at 2 11 PM, the control light was turned off and then it was turned back on
6:36
And that's about it for there. And when I press back here, I could see all devices I currently have
6:40
I can add another device or I can check other things out
6:44
So I have option for scene and me. So scene lets me create some sort of automation, some program that I can run
6:52
And here's some certain things that lets me do launch top to run when weather changes
6:56
at a certain time or when a device status changes. And then for me, it gives me home management
7:01
message center, and FAQ and feedback. So that's about it for the app. And here we could see the
7:06
device is currently on. We could see that the light is sort of a white bluish color. And if
7:11
you're confused on what's going on with the light, again, right on top on the cover, once this is
7:15
lifted up, we can see what each of the light means. And in this case, there's no lighting that mentions
7:19
a still blue light, which leads me to believe that there's nothing wrong with this. This is
7:23
working perfectly fine as intended. All I have to do is just wait until Tiger has to use the bathroom
7:28
and then I'll go here. But if there was an issue here it'll tell us what's wrong and when I first
7:33
installed this I had this lighting a quick red flash and then when I went to check to see what
7:38
happened it was basically the bonnet or the drawer was installed incorrectly and this is what happened
7:45
I didn't push this all the way so it was opened a little bit just like this like a centimeter and
7:50
then here we can see it immediately starts flashing red and when I close it the problem is solved and
7:56
the same thing happens when I remove the bonnet here you can see it immediately starts flashing
8:01
red and that's probably because there are sensors over here that indicate it's there and then when
8:07
I close it fully down there problem solved now as far as measurements go this is going to be a
8:12
pretty big looking automatic litter box it's going to be roughly 28 maybe 29 inches long
8:19
by about 26 inches tall by about 20 inches deep. Now the entrance for my cat from here to here
8:31
is going to be roughly nine inches and then on the inside we're going to have about
8:36
eight and three quarters and from the floor to the lip it's going to be right around five and a half
8:44
inches and then from the floor to the actual entrance that's going to be a bit harder to
8:49
but let's say it's about 11 and a half inches. Now this curtain is currently installed
8:54
but if you don't like the look of it, or if your cat just doesn't like it, this can be removed simply by taking the bonnet cover off
9:00
And then right up here we could see that the rod is gonna be attached here with these clips so this can be pulled right out just like so and then here we have the curtain with the rod in the center but in my case i
9:16
going to leave it here for now and this clips back into place and then this can be placed up on top
9:26
again. Alright, so this is Tiger and he finally paid attention to the litter box, but it was pretty
9:32
interesting because he was curious about it. So he halfway went in, halfway went out. He kept doing
9:38
this for the next 10 to 15 minutes until he finally decided to use it. And then he used it a few times
9:44
the next day. And I think the thing that got him distracted was the deodorizing aspect because
9:49
after he stood there for a while, it activated it. So I guess he was smelling it or he was just
9:53
listening to it but either way he got through it he used it and now this is what's currently
9:59
at the bottom of the bin yeah it works as intended and if you want to see how much has been here in
10:06
the past two days there you go so it's working perfectly as intended and there's no smell i mean
10:13
until i open this then there's a smell but when i came down here and checked on this whole ambiance
10:19
There was no smell here. So the fragrance box and this curtain is doing a good job for it
10:24
And if you're curious how many times Tiger used this today, as of nearly 4 p.m., he used it three times
10:31
And here you can see there's 29 days left for the fragrance box because this was installed yesterday
10:36
Slide it up. Okay, I had to slide it upwards. And here we can see the first time he used it was at 8, 10 a.m
10:40
It says litter box was used. And I have to create an ID. It didn't say that Tiger used it because I put his weight wrong
10:47
so apparently he's more pounds than I thought. He's about 13.2. But then this kind of changes because it says 8.3
10:54
so maybe something happened at 8.11 that made it think that. 8.16, four minutes after it was used
11:01
or in this case five. Auto deodorizing is complete. Auto cleaning is complete
11:06
And then at 2.27 p.m., so about an hour, 20 minutes ago
11:10
litter box is used and his weight was registered as 13.1. He used it for 174 seconds
11:17
So in this case, if he's 13.1 pounds, let me see if I can update his profile
11:22
All right, about 13 and then save. But yeah, that's about it for the Pet Snowy automatic litter box
11:26
Again, this one was probably the most biggest and stylish looking automatic litter box I used
11:32
Now, even though this takes up a lot of space, I will say the actual tray, the actual portion that he uses is relatively small in comparison compared to other ones I've tested out
11:44
but that being said this does give it like a cleaner look and a lot less odor comes from here
11:50
again i didn't notice odor when i came here considering it has the curtain and it's an
11:54
enclosed space thankfully my cat used this he used open litter boxes and now he used enclosed
11:59
litter box so he just needed some time to get used to so he knows what to do but yeah that's
12:05
