Whisker released the Litter-Robot EVO, a compact self-cleaning litter box designed for apartments and smaller homes. The device uses the same core technology as larger Litter-Robot models but scales down to fit tight spaces, making it ideal for households with one to two cats weighing up to 19 pounds each.

The EVO costs $599, making it the most affordable current-generation Litter-Robot option. The trade-off for its smaller footprint comes in the form of a reduced waste drawer, which requires more frequent emptying than larger models.

Pet owners in compact living situations have long struggled to find self-cleaning litter boxes that don't dominate their space. The EVO addresses this gap by maintaining the automated sifting and odor-control features cat owners expect from Whisker's self-cleaning technology while occupying considerably less floor space.

The device targets a specific market segment. Apartment dwellers and owners of multiple cats who share litter facilities will find the EVO more practical than previous Litter-Robot generations. The smaller waste capacity remains the primary consideration for potential buyers evaluating whether the convenience justifies the investment for their household size and setup.
