Whisker Litter-Robot 5 Pro Review: This $900 Litter Box May Be Almost Too High-Tech for Me
Whisker’s new Litter‑Robot 5 Pro, priced at $899, adds a dual‑camera system, LCD screen, larger waste drawer and the Waste ID feature that separates urine from feces using AI and weight sensors. The AI camera can recognize individual cats and record usage, but its identification algorithm still requires training after months of use. Waste ID currently reports waste type accurately only about 30% of the time, prompting Whisker to promise software updates by mid‑April. Reviewers suggest waiting for these fixes or opting for the less‑expensive Litter‑Robot 5 or 4 models.
