I saw this pop up as a notification and thought that Dawid finally lost it
You mean Poop up.
Nah, he never had it to lose.
fr tho, i did too!
He lost his shit.
Honestly I was not even suprised
This robot in particular will hold some contempt for humans during the robot uprising
Luckily, it will only be able to throw poo.
If it fits .... It Shits .... !!! lol
Get yer coat lad, Rwanda awaits for you! 🤣
... and you block the entrance to the other one.
Cat poops in robot...the wonders of the internet.....
Well it's definitely not AI, stepper motor, controller board, and an app.
$500, who are they trying to kid.
It brings a new horror to the notion of 'logging on'.
@@user-yv2cz8oj1k imagine, the competition the "Litter Robot 4" sells for an insane 899€ xD
@@user-yv2cz8oj1k Robot litter boxes are a bit more complex than that, at least the good ones. There are many sensors and some have a fair amount of "computing" going on (for example the competitor Litter Robot can tell between multiple cats just using its various sensors so that you can track how often each of your fluffy companions use the toilet, which is actually handy to track their health, and you have access to all the relevant info as well as maintenance monitoring via an app and the Litter Robot itself can connect to your WiFi, some people have even integrated it in their smart home setup using Home Assistant for example).
At the end of the day most people don't *need* an automated litter box but it can be a nice luxury if you can afford it, with some potentially handy health tracking benefits in some cases, and it also can solve the issue of normally needing as many litter boxes as cats, if not n+1, which isn't always practical if you live in an apartment or smaller house between the required space and the potential smell. And as these robotic litter boxes are constantly kept clean you normally only need one even if you have two or more cats.
@@Jacky-94 Yeah the Litter Robot models seem to have gone up in price with every generation, although according to reviews I've seen they've also improved every time and offer more and more features (for example afaik WiFi connectivity is now no longer an optional add-on but comes by default and there's an app which not only allows you to easily monitor if any maintenance is needed but it can for example also identify which of your cats is using it and track how often each of them use the toilet which is actually handy to track their health). The Litter Robot pricing also seems to be less steep in the US so unfortunately it seems it's one of these cases where European customers get a worse deal because of things like import taxes and lower supply. But the Litter Robot models usually seem to be some of the most popular and best reviewed options. The company also seemed to be in favor of the right to repair and unless it has changed they were selling spare parts, including for internal parts, on their site (although it's unclear if EU customers would also have easy access to the spare parts without having to jump through hoops and pay expensive shipping and import charges).
But yeah at the end of the day it's more of a luxury product, with some potentially handy health tracking benefits in some cases, and it can also solve the issue of normally needing as many litter boxes as cats, if not n+1, which isn't always practical if you live in an apartment or smaller house between the required space and the potential smell (and since these robotic litter boxes are always kept clean you should only need one even if you have more than one cat).
dawid does tech stuff to dawid does cat stuff.
Davvid does sus stuff
Dawid does poop stuff
This is tech.
Ah yes hanging out in the toilet as a general recreation
There are actual litter liners available near the cat food. Wider and shallow.
this is the type of content i live for
A cat being named Neko...
Reminds me of an old comic in NZ where a cat is named Horse and the main character, which is a dog named Dog.
Just more proof that all of humankind's progress and achievements are just meant to make the lives of cats better
I think Neko’s new ride needs to get nicely pimped out.
Racing stripes and some tasteful RGB to set the tone
pimp it out with waifu stickers
@@MoultrieGeekplus 10 horsepower
that cat is so cute
This is - by far - the most bananas video I've seen Dawid do. Many, many LOLs.
That's a pretty nice cat right there. Looks like it takes a pet like no problem.
When your cat's crapper has more features than your own ... you may have a problem. 😂
(As an fyi, my two cats Mr. Jake and Lt. Nog, use old school boxes, as I can't afford the fancy $500+ ones.)
I spent 0€ on a itter box, because the cats go outside to dump their fluids and wastes.
Hopefully supervised.
@@OjStudios I try not to watch them 💩. They in the other paw, love to sit and poopervise me.
🤣
@@hyperturbotechnomike my cats are indoor cats. On the 18th floor. No balcony. So, they're stuck with boxes.
@@I_am_Allan My sister has two cats and one is weird like he needs to be checked on how good of a boyo he is dropping the turd.
Companies keep adding wifi to things that do not need wifi so they can take your information and sell it.
the location thing is because on android you need the location permission to use bluetooth because is locked behind as bluetooth might be able to be used to find your location.
Gotta love how the primary character trait of cat is being cat batman
Beautiful looking cat!
The immaturity in this video is delightful 😂
That cat knows that it is a poor constructed cheap pc built cat toilet and decide im going back to the same one 😂.
Also, as a cat owner always introduce gradually the cat with a new litter product like you introducing an old pc with new one
This just sounds like a company that farms data as a source of income, and the stupid product is ancillary income.
I will absolutely return any product that asks for precise location where it's clearly unnecessary.
But it is clearly necessary.
This thing is presumably setup using Bluetooth. Accessing Bluetooth communication is grouped under the location permission because it, in conjunction with WiFi and potentially GPS, can be used to refine tracking or enable proximity tracking.
So the permission is legit, but the product is still dumb
@@Mooooov0815 why would it need proximity tracking when it can accomplish the same goals with a scale?
@@DracossaintBecause you need to connect to it via Bluetooth. It's not actually using proximity, it's using a feature that COULD be used for proximity, so it's restricted in the same way.
The neokasa logo looks a lot like the arasaka one, which could explain it
@@hyperturbotechnomike IT DOES LOL
One Man Five Cats has an informative video about his experience with automatic litterboxes
you should really make some more of those "reviewing random tech crap videos", similar to this.
at the end of the day 90% of dawid's quality comes from dawid himself so i agree
It's still my favourite video of his, I'd love it to be a semi-regular thing at the least
Neko is a beautiful cat. I would have subscribed just for him, but your content is a decent bonus at times 😉
Hey man,
I've watched tech channels for as long as I can remember, probably high school lol, am 27 now.
Having watched the old school tech tubers go from being one-two man shows to being actual companies or corporations and all the change that that brings, i'm kinda burned out from the Marqueses and Linuses of the space and find a lot of comfort in your channel because it's well produced, you can tell you produce what you want and not necessarily what fattens your bank account the most and it's just diverse enough to remain fun and interesting while not going off the tracks and not interesting me. So I just wanted to say thanks because the technical quality is top notch and your videos are interesting, chill and genuine.
Big hug from Costa Rica.
500 canadian drahmi for cat litter!? Holly crap!
That machine would freak my cat out, lol.
2:32 Looks like the Namek Spaceship from DBZ lol
Is it weird that Im pooping while watching a cat poop in a robot? POOPCEPTION!
you need a medal
@@AnnaDoesOr a filter
Forcing robots to watch cats poop is my kind of dystopian future.
How is this so entertaining?! Can't stop watching the tech cat poop device contraption thingee. Damn you Dawid
That is some serious cat content
My favorite takes are the ones where even Dawid can't keep it together and giggles gleefully before cutting lmao
Yes, he named his cat, cat.
If I had a nickel for every time i've seen someone do this, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.
My grandpa has Alzheimer's and calls their cat "Cack" probably because he doesn't remember it's name. The little guy actually responds to "Cack" instead of his real name, Simba.
I've known a few guys named Guy in my life, a few cats named Cat, but no dogs named Dog...
Neko-Chan specifically, which is little cat. So presumably there was a larger cat.
You'd have three nickels (if you came to my house)
Maybe 3, I named my cat "Big cat" (for the lack of augmentatives in english, that will be Gatote in Spanish)
Not sure why I did it but its kind of funny since he isn't a big cat
The tech review I didnt know I needed! Thanks Dawid!!
There definitely needs to be more poop dungeons in Dawid videos!
Yeah robo cat poo bins are mostly stupidly expensive for what they do.
I was hoping you were gonna try to game on it.
haha he should have!
It might just take some time to adjust but can't help but think it would have been smoother if the cat was sanctioned in another room during setup and only let him in after setting it up with litter and blocking the old one. That time where he got familiar with it and sat in it empty he probably thought it was a new sleeping/resting area which could have also lead to his confusion after of both doing his business in it and also using it as a resting area. Little awkward!
I actually really appreciate this video. I have litter robots, which are great, but aren’t the best for large cats. This might be the solution.
I have the omega paw litter box, they go from $30-$50 usd, it's manual but you just roll it and the solids collect in a drawer, I takes me less than a minute every day and I don't have to worry about it breaking, highly recommend it
Dawid knows how to give proper tribute to the true master.
The tracking can be useful to keep on top of some health issues. If your cat is using the litter box much more or much less than usual, it can be indicative of some health problems, like kidney stones or so.
And it needs location data to do that why?
@@claycassin8437 I never said that it did, just that the tracking can have some use. I don't know why it asks for location.

When the cat's toilet is more advanced than the rest of your house.
I will say I’ve spent the $700 on litter robot and even with just two cat I will NEVER go back to a normal litter box. The simplicity of not having to scoop poop is great and it tells me when it’s full. I recommend a litter robot of any sorts to anyone I know with a cat
1:49 the trick is to open the box; flip it upside down and lift off the box. 😁
(remove the box from the contents, not the contents from the box)
You're wrong Dawid, that's my cat now.
I'm good. My cat uses a normal box. I don't have any problems cleaning her poop daily and the box every 2-3 weeks.
I bought a Litter Robot last year. I was skeptical of automatic litter boxes but they are worth it imo. Just be aware that they are prone to mechanical issues from the harsh environment so make sure you buy from a manufacturer with a good warranty.
This made my day.. Thanks David.
I am astonished that it actually worked and that the cat just accepted it with ... medium effort. But I am also very happy that our litterbox at home is only there for emergencies since our cat much much MUCH prefers to poop in the wilderness around our home ^^
I keep showing my cat the clip from Meet the Fockers where the cat uses the toilet and even flushes, no sign of taking it up yet. Best cat gadget we got was an electronic cat flap that reads the chip so only our cat can use it .
This is the type of quality content I subscribe for
My grandmother had two cats that were siblings. When someone asked what one cat's name was, she'd reply "Cat." When asked what the other cat was named, she'd say "Other Cat." This confused people and pleased her greatly. If we didn't have three cats, I'd really be interested, but investing $1500 in cat poopers is too much
Cats don't share cat poopers?
@@KaijuAKDThey do.
These are actually really nice if you can cat to use it... Expensive but nice 🐈
500 dollars? i would teach the cat to use the actual toilet, if you can get an auto flusher for it you never have to mess with litter again
Just have to deal with cat shit on the rim every now and then…
Except it's actually not good for them to use the human toilet ergonomically.
Not calling your cat’s poop Neko Wafers is a real swing and a miss.
The one-liners in this one! Jeeeeezis Christ! 😆
a house cat can easily jump 2-3 meter straight up, so 30 cm?= it is nothing lol
thats a gorgeous cat you got there ^^
As a kid, I had a cat name Moggie which is British slang for "cat." It's cool to name a cat Cat.
Dawid, you remind me so much of a non-German version of the titular character from Gerhard Reinke's Wanderlust that it's filling the void left in my heart from its absence.
I am relieved my cat is not the only Plasti-phile (her best friend is the shower curtain, although empty bags also seem particularly pleasing...) ;-)
I've wanted an automatic litter box for a while... But either you pay 600 bucks for a giant eyesore that needs to be deep cleaned every week (and has proprietary trash bags!), or you pay 200 for a tiny box that still needs to be unclogged daily. So... The $15 plastic sifting tray my cat shits in will do just fine for now.
I've had a Litter Robot 3 and a Litter Robot 4. The 4 is great: WAY quieter and easier to clean inside. That said, sometimes it does have occasional sensor issues. I have it attached to a smart outlet so I can "reboot" it if a cat stops the cleaning cycle and it doesn't start up again fast enough for my liking. (push notifications help)
My cat: cat
It's actually really important to track your cat's bowel movements.
Forget the robo loo, I just love Neko's antics.
Would be worth testing out with the nicer litters (we use the grass seed version) because having to swap back to dust central is a no-go for this sorta thing, despite auto cleaning litterbot being a nice idea.
Thanks for the tip!
I read the title and saw thumbnail and I'm like 'not watching that' saw that it was from Dawid, 'oh this is gonna be good'
Just...no. Absolutely not. It's way too high off the ground for any kitty. The app, while tracking litter box habits may be helpful to a vet diagnosing a concern and the accuracy of the litter report is somewhat helpful, there are other options like cleaning the litter box with your hands hands and using your own eyes. My fluff uses the Scoop Free which you can set the timer for it to rake the litter box however, I wipe it down with litter wipes every other day along with scooping the "catch" and replace the trays every week. The price of this is outrageous also. This was surprising, Dawid, and while I'm thrilled you have a kitty, this was way different and glad you changed direction for a unique education. Gotta say though, not a litter box I'll be using. Thanks for covering it along with your beautiful fluff.
For older cats with joint problems it is probably to high.
I personally prefer the option that my grandmother's cat took, which was to just use the human toilet, but this thing doesn't seem too bad.
Dawid's Cat Does Tech Stuff! Spin off series?
I want to understand why is a cat pooping video so entertaining? 🤣🤣
Aw...that's the cutest robot hippo I've ever....wait...WAHT IS THAT CAT DOING TO THE HIPPO???? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!🤣🤣🤣
Wow! Very fancy. I thought having a bidet for humans was posh.
When the cat poop catcher becomes self-aware, I see a terrible outcome for cats. 😁
There's a cat? There's my like! 😍
Leave it to Dawid to make a video about a litterbox interesting.
I've got 2 similar ones to that except on mine you have to pull a handle like an old fruit machine, but you just win poop.
Never thought i'd wanna win poop 😂
We've been using Cat Genie for around 7 years now. They dispose to sewer drain like washing machine.
My cat Fluffy does the same thing... he refuses to get all the way in lol so he sits on the edge lol
PSA: Please never use cat litter not made out of wood chips, in the long-term these damage cats’ kidneys since these contain salts as a drying agent. Wood chips on the other hand just acts like fiber.
(Cats digest cat litter when cleaning themselves)
Each to their own I suppose...
For the (very few) cat owners who's pets really can't enjoy the great outdoors there is always to option to teach it to use the human bog if a cheap litter tray is just way too simple or not expensive enough.
I wonder to whom this company is selling the cat faeces data it is 'mining'?
You watch Dawid for his reviews and humor
I watch Dawid for his grunts
we are not the same.
I don't have a cat, I came for all the jokes. It was well worth it
Neko is tiny compared to my cats. Getting them to use it sometimes means scooping a bit of poop or litter from the old box into the new litter box.
" I can unbox anything"
Achievement Unlocked
even my cat Leo perches on the edge of the litterbox. Neco is not alone
At $500 its way too expensive for what it is. I recommend spending $200 more to get the Litter Robot 4. A superior design with (imo) better aesthetics and much better app, with tons of data and a inbuilt scale that can track multiple cats weight and assign values. Made and designed in USA with free 1y hassle free warranty (and accidental damage protection).
The reason some bluetooth accessories need precise location permission is; Apple considers bluetooth beacon scanning to be precise location information. It is fair, but very poorly communicated.
in our family for the past three generations, we have had two cat names as options for when we get cats (both in french) Name 1 ''Minache'' or Name 2 ''Seminou'' (or se minou). Name two litteraly translates to the cat or this cat just without a space.
Best title to a RUclips video I've read in my whole life 😂🤣
I maintain that cats are smart enough and physically capable enough to use the toilet, but they’re just jerks who get a kick out of crapping in the floor.
Marketing teams take notice, call this the Poop Buttler.
Had one of these hightech literboxes for a while, but ended up ditching it for the Pet safe scoop free crystal liter boxes. The litterbox itself is under $150, and even though you are locked into the Brand's refill trays, the difference in mess, smell and frequency of cleanup has been well worth it.
For $500 your better off spending the extra $100 for the litter robot
Precise location can be needed simply to join the product to wifi, android and iOS restrict access to wifi to precise location.
if anyone one buys this I might suggest they invest in some chew resistant cable covers so the cat doesn't chew on its power supply cable.
we have a different version of an electronic litter box. works exactly the same way though, it's got a barrel that rotates to sift and dump the used litter into a bag as well. we have 3 cats and it's essential. my kids take turns emptying it when it's full, the cats are happy cause it's always clean, and all the smell is kept behind a trap door, it's much better than a standard box for sure.
We have a Litter Robot 4. Works great 90% time. The issue is our cat seems to like to pee near the edge of the bowl rather than towards the middle of the litter pile. Due to the curvature of the bowl, there isn’t enough litter to clump properly so it ends up sticking to the bowl requiring a manual cycle/intervention. Annoying but everything else works great. No issues with his craps.
Companies that use their apps to spy on you like this need to be sent to the poop dungeon.
