Whisker
authentic ratingWhisker is the companion app for the Litter-Robot self-cleaning litter box. It tracks litter box visits per cat, monitors weight via the built-in sensor, sends fill and error notifications, and lets you remotely trigger a cleaning cycle. The real value shows for multi-cat households. The problem: the app frequently loses its WiFi connection after a power outage and requires a manual reset. Older LR3 models are not supported properly.
storeAvg 4.83 with textAvg 3.30 and pct5 43% is a significant gap. Explanation: buyers of an expensive device ($700+) are initially motivated to leave a high rating to confirm the purchase was the right call. But the 2-3 star reviews are specific and technically detailed, which is an honest signal.
What users love
- Automatic cat weigh-in at every visit. Per-cat visit history helps you catch behavior changes early. Notifications when the drawer is full.
What users hate
- After a power outage the device does not reconnect to WiFi automatically and needs a manual reset. Error notifications are not granular and you cannot choose which specific errors to get alerted about.
Who it is for
