Good man, this was the issue I felt needed resolving from other reviews!
Thank you so much for this! The manual that I received with the unit lacks substance. This video is a huge help.
Im glad if i could help
Amazing video
Love your videos!
I had one of these. When they work, they're nice. The major designflaw with it however is the tiny Philips head screws they use to attach the rubber map. There will get litter trapped under there mixed with urine. It's a pain to get that rubber mat out and back in.
i feel your pain. The concept is nice, but feels like it isn't a finished product.
hey i just got this exact same liter box. i understood about that 3d printed parts after my cats first usage! is it possible i can get the 3d print design? was going to ask a friend to print it for me as well. let me know if it's possible!
Hi, it’s any chance to get project for printer?
Question: how do exchange the clumping litter? Do you just keep adding more? How about long term odor of the urine? Do you recommend this litter box?
Hi there,
U have to keep on adding litter it has minimum and maximum measurment in the machine.
it does start smelling after a while (3 days ) if u dont change the collecting bag. So best is to keep it around 3 days to change it, then u wont have much scent problems. I think it's a personal preference either to get or not get an automated litter box in general. Yes it does clean the litterbox every time it's been used, yes it kind of is easy to maintain but these machines are fairy high priced... if you can afford it then u could get it even though with a regular litter box u are setup aswell :)
Hello how can I get this extra black piece that you printed?
How long it takes in cleaning process ?
Would you could consider this atill good enough to use ? I have a litter robot 3 and the thing has been horrendouns . Something broke in the hood . The pinch sensors and board needed replaced twice . My tybber mat has a hole in it and its 80 pounds to replace ! And now it wont work at all . Bad position sensor i think ..ive very little monej atm but am in need desperately as ive a cat wifh urinary issues and another that will go outside the box if its not always clean . Ive found a tonepie for 200 pound then 40 pound import costs but its still a lot of money to throw away
thank you for your message, to be honest i no longer use the automated cat litter box, i found that the maintenance and regular cleaning process takes alot of time, so now i'm scooping manually again.
I have a CatGenie which I love, as it actually washes and deodorizes the box each time it’s used. Unfortunately, one of my cats is freaked out by the noise it makes when the cleaning starts (it isn’t quiet) and won’t use it so I’m in the market for an alternative.
este de acá es super silencioso, hasta mi gato más miedoso lo uso al segundo día.
Famree for $250.00 same exact one as in this video just with different name badge slapped on, why they use different names for same exact machine,, I have no Idea!
Cool review man! It's the only automated litter box that seems to work right and with a solid logic. Did you come up with any problems until now? I am ordering one!
oh i gave mine away, as it wasn't as good as i expected in the end, but if you still want to buy one use my affiliate link :)
@@aim6mac hi! why wasn't it good?
@@vicentefontecilla2025 it has some bugs who weren't acceptable for me.
Pls update in video b cause i just ordered @@aim6mac
I have owned this unit for over 3 years, almost 4 now & have Not had one issue with it,, has never broken down/failed. I live in a small 936 sqft home & never smell kitty litter,,.It's almost like I don't even own a cat because that is the one pet peeve I had about owning a cat-Is the litter box smell. I have not smelt litter box in almost 4 years because of this exact automatic litter box here in this video.
Thanks!
Many thanks for your review! So happy with this automatic litter! Really life changing! I have three cats and I was cleaning the regular litter many times a day. Now I change the bag once a week and give it a deep wash twice a week. I'm having big issues with the gap though: as you pointed out a lot of the urine and sand goes underneath and smell. Also I have to disarm the machine often to clean it, which is a lot of work. I can't understand why they designed it this way! I'm really hoping there is a way to buy that amazing latch you printed. I really need it! Please please let me know!
i think u can buy the latch on ali
I could't find anything online... :( @@aim6mac
Thanks for the review! Do you have the STL file for the 3D printed part by any chance?
STL file for the latch is available on my discord channel.
where can i find this file
Do you think you can share the 3D print file?
By the way I have done some searching and found the Tonepie T1 Pro and seems to be the same but with different name right?
yes they are basically the same product with different branding
I have this litterbox since three weeks, one thing I don't like about this litterbox is the issue of old litter spilling out when the device rotates downward. This leads to an unpleasant odor, which is quite bothersome. To improve this situation, it would be ideal if the lid remained closed while the box is rotating downward, only opening when the device moves in an upward direction.
yes I agree that the idea is good but the product has flaws on basic stuff, i hope in the future there will be litter boxes that eliminate those issues so that cat owners can enjoy the whole experience!
@@aim6mac it could be a simple software upgrade to adjust the timing of the lid opening. I am not sure who to contact
@@maziz80 I believe the lid just works by gravity
@@doublejay4504 yes you are right, I noticed that. Wish we can have some kind of one way mechanism. The smell is awe full when all the poo comes out while cleaning cycle.
@@maziz80I've never not once had this issue which you are describing here & I've owned this litter box for almost 4 years now. Wonder? what you people are doing wrong.
Hi there
Thanks for the video!
I bought this same litter box
But I noticed when it cleans itself it kind of fills the bag with good litter not just clumped litter and it fills out so fast
I put the waste bin calibration 1 and leveling to 3 in the app
Any ideas??
check if you are on the latest FW, if you are then play around with the settings, first set it to 1 , and then set it to max
Great video! Would you be so kind as to share the 3D pattern for the latch? Thank you!
it is on my discord channel
@@aim6mac Great! Link please:)
@@daisiesushitam984 discord.gg/yvqU79kZ
is Tonepie the same box? We don't have this in Brazil, I'd like to import it from China, but they just have Tonepie, is it worth?
yes it's basically the same litter box,
Hey, this is definitely an awesome review. Very detailed and thoughtful going thru all the things.
Would you be able to maybe share the metrics/design/dimensions for the piece of plastic plate you 3D printed? I watched your video and am going to get one. It looks very useful even critical for the box, but I don’t know how to do it. Much appreciated if you could share it! Then may be I can take it to a library or Staple to print it as well!
I would really like the data to have a friend print me one of your urine deflectors.
@@brucebjorndahl8058 they now sell it on the petlux webshop
Can you use tofu ( soya ) clumping litter?
not sure about tofu but corn kernels, Ecolitter, Natural active carbon or benotonite are the recommended one's
I saw you gave yours away because it wasn’t as good as you expected. Did get a another one that is good?
no i went back to the ordinary scooping :)
Id really love to get something to block the litter from going in like the black piece you printed
Tonepie, which looks exactly like this has a piece that comes with it. To block that space.
Tonepie has no black piece in it
My cat unplugged it while it was rotating now when it rotates to clean it will rotate and then collect the poop and then rotate back and drop the poop back where the litter is, after it has dropped the poop it will go back to put it in the bin but there is no poop because it already dropped back into the litter i don’t know how to fix this. How to factory reset??
there should be a factory reset option on your app, if not try unplugging it and leaving it unplugged for 15 min.
Heb 'm ook sinds gisteren, met 2 katten die regelmatig tot veel drinken was het haast niet bij te houden de normale plastic kattenbak verschonen. Ik begon er zo verschrikkelijk tegen op te zien om het meerdere keren per dag te verschonen. En als ik een keer oversla, dan begint het al gauw te ruiken.. Ik koop om de 2 dgn een doos kattenbakvulling van de aldi. Die fijn ik toch het fijnst. Loopt aardig in de kosten op zo. Hopelijk kan dit ook nu ingedamd worden...
als je op mijn kanaal kijkt zal je een andere zien : ruclips.net/video/oA72X_sE2yg/видео.html
die vind ik zelf het beste tot nu toe!
After looking through many of the automated litterboxes I never felt really positive going for one. But I want to give that one a try. Also I’ll draw such a lip for the entrance. It’s very clear that’s a weak point. Sad it’s not a buyable add-on. - so, when that works out my cat will get an accompagnion.
i gave away mine
@@aim6mac may I know why you gave yours away?
@@nangel274 after some time of usage, I found out that some pee went under the grey plastic cover, maybe i had a faulty one or it's by design faulty... either way I didn't want to be bothered with it again.
@@aim6mac hey, the black 3d plastic havent solved the issue? could you share the stl file maybe? I have the pee problem too. It was great for a week but after a week my cat started not going in fully.
My device is giving buzzing noise from the motor.
What is the solution
hi there, check if anything is stuck that the motor has to work overload, clean your machine
Do you sell the urine shield? Can you produce another? I’m interested in buying
come to my discord
@@aim6macsorry I don’t understand discord?
@@angellee3858 google it
This litter box sucks and I just returned it after 3 days. There's a gap at the bottom of the entry hole between the drum and the base, litter falls into it and cats urinate at the edge. The urine goes into the gap and down into the base and forms a pool underneath the drum. Also, the litter goes all over the place inside and outside the drum when it rotates. It collects in the holes and hinge inside the waste door. To add to the fun, when you try to empty the litter, only half of it is emptied and there's no way to completely empty it without tipping the drum around and getting litter all over the place. Absolute garbage at any price.
What is the app you're using? I've got a tonepie and the app is not working...
i'm using Smart Life app on my ios device.
@@aim6mac thanks! I will continue trying to sync it then...for some reason seems not working...
@@aim6mac does it loose all the WiFI information once it gets disconnected from the powerplug? Is there any way to make a hard-reset?
Hi. I unplugged mine and changed it’s location. When I plugged it back in and it started the cycle, it dumps all the litter in the garbage bag and stops. Might you have any suggestions as to what I might do to get it working again? Thank you.
Hi did you end up fixing it ? My cat unplugged it while it was rotating and now when it goes to clean it stops doing a 360 and then puts the poop back in the litter and then it’ll rotate to do a 360!
I bought the box secondhand from OfferUp and it does not have a power cord. Could you sell me one or tell me which kind to buy? Thank you.
Place that information in your Google search bar, something should come up for an answer to that question that you have.
Do you have download links for the stl in 3d
Hi there, i'm afraid i'm not allowed to share the second version of it as its not designed by me. But the first version can be find on my discord server.
@aim6mac I was wondering if you could send me your 3d print file for that device to keep the litter in
come to my discord
I have one of these. It works OK, but…
For some reason cat urine finds its way to under the tumbler (main cylinder) that requires lifting the cylinder and wiping it clean. There are no visible evidences of a leak, and no the cat is not peeing outside.
Anyone else have this issue?
your units bolts might be slightly loose, check if all the bolts are tight enough (do not overtighten) also check where the cat does the pipi :)
Hello, can you share the .stl file for that lip? Thanks!

Hello. I bought the cat toilet. I received yesterday. I saw the supplement you printed for the entrance. Does it help moderate the sand being washed out? I have someone willing to print one for me.....is it possible for you to send me the pattern so that he can make it for me?
I have two cats: Julio & Motty
if it's possible.....
i'm afraid the makers don't allow me to share the model.
@@aim6mac I understand. Too bad. The sand keeps getting in there.....what you did looks perfect.
Do you sell this accessory you built somewhere on the net?
I would love to have one of those protectors too.
Can I buy one for me?
Hi, mine stopped turning 360 when i press clean. What can I do to fox this?
unplug it wait 30 seconds then plug the DC cord back in, if it still doesn't turn then contact the seller for replacement.
Hello mine as well, did you end up fixing the problem??
Awesome review!
Do you sell the black printed piece?
Can you share the url if you do sell it?

Hello, today i received my Tonepie. There is only a manual in china language! And if i want to donwload the Tonepie app there comes the message that this app is not available in my country (germany). 1. Where can i get an english or german manual? 2. Which app do you use? Your video is long but there is no information about the name of the app that you use.
Hello there, I'm using the Smart Life app. The manual , for dutch, english, german, spanish, ... manual please check the video description.

I change the bag every 5/6 day with 1 car no way you can do that with 2 cats. Shit falls out the bag once the bag is half full. Your also right about the litter under the machine,, really annoying. For the price of 500 euros is to much,, looks like they did not experience enough .. 5/10 rating
yes i'd rate this machine rather a 6/10, it's a nice try... but not there yet!

@@komkommer22 can u guys come to my discord ill share it there.
@@aim6mac how do I do that? What is your handle there?
Tonepie automatic cat litter is difficult to clean, no door so the litter is everywhere, as well as very fragile my cat made a hole in its rubber bottom where u put the litter, and it’s unfixable, and I cannot replace the bottom or any spare parts, so I don’t recommend TONEPIE automatic cat litter
hi there, i can only partially agree with you, i still prefer a regular litter box in the end but the parts can be replaced. the rubber mat costs around 25€ petlux.nl/en/products/onderdelen-automatische-kattenbak-met-app?variant=43422414209198
Hi. I would like to get an invite too. 🙏🏽
Put every automated box out there you have to take the litter out yourself. I’ve got a litter robot three it stopped working properly but it’s such a pain in the ass to take that bag out and I paid almost $700 for that thing years ago but you are going to have a bunch of people out there one in that they have to change the litter that it supposed to be automatic because they’re just whiners like that.
So the poop is gonna roll around all the inside. ewww, and the cleaning oufff.
haha yep
Please, would you kindly point me in the direction of where I can purchase a gap guard for this box?
We're in a desperate search for the attachment you made and we're also completely clueless about how to even find someone (reliable) to 3d print. I only found your video through my search for this attachment. I'd probably have more success being dropped blindfolded into a place where I know none of the language than I would have trying to navigate the world of Discord, so I really need to find a place to get this attachment pre-made. I did find something similar to what Litter Robot calls a "gate" but one of the main reasons we selected this automatic box is ease of entry for our old babies. Yours is PERFECT!
One of our old babies has decided that she will only use a freshly cleaned box, so we have no choice but to use an automatic box now. We can't afford the Litter Robot 4, which is our only other option for our cats' size and mobility, so we have this one and I thought I'd figured out a DIY way to deal with the gap issue, but I was wrong.
Ours is a Famree brand, but I've researched this to death and the one you show here is also branded as: PETKO, Tonepie, Comfipaws, PETCADO, and under 3 other generic names on Amazon. On AliExpress, it's just the "Smart Cat Litter Box."
Thanks for such a thorough review!
Hi there,
first of all thank you for liking the review :),
i really never knew that there were other brands with the same litterbox, really shocked! Can i ask you where u are from? I might be able to send you one.
