They both work well in the sense of not having to scoop the litter box, however the LR4 is more advance with more features, easier to empty to clean, and easier for the cat to enter to it. The SmartSpin is a good option for people who don't want to scoop anymore and who are willing to give up on the LR4 features and cleaning convenience because they cannot afford the expensive unit.
Hi, it doesn't get dirty under the rubber because the seam around the bottom between the rubber and the halves is tight . However, you don't want to let the device got too long without cleaning it, this way wipe cleaning will work well. To unscrew the halves simply check the screws that attach the two halves. You can see this on my video of assembling the SmartSpin here, (min 1:57) ruclips.net/video/HnG2htIlcFQ/видео.html
Where do I find the QR code to set up the app? I can’t set it up thru WiFi pairing and so they want me to scan something and I don’t understand what or where that is. Please help? If u can.

Just got mine! Works really well, but I realized it's leaking litter, likely under the litter saver, and it's getting into the gear that rotates the globe. Could become a problem in the long term. Have you had this issue?
Hi! I haven't experienced cat litter leaking like you mention. What I have noticed is that sometimes the SmartSpin doesn't rotate if I put too much cat litter. It seems like the unit operates with a minimum amount of it. If I put a little extra of the required amount the excess of cat litter goes to the waste drawer when rotating (I must mention that this happens with the Litter Robot too). What I do is trying to keep the litter level low to allow a better performance of the unit. Thanks for your comment. I hope that helps.
@@catfooddispensersreviews2696 That's interesting. You're probably right, it can only handle so much weight. I use micro crystals, which are pretty light compared to clay. However, because they're so tiny that's probably why they're getting through and getting into the gear. I spotted some very tiny holes in the globe on either side of the screws >_< I might use gorilla tape along the inside seam to keep the litter out.
This video is great! Thanks for taking the time to make it!
My pleasure!
Very thorough and informative video! Thank you 😺
You are so welcome!
thanks for this review ! do you still recommend this after a couple months of use ? thanks
I do, my cat still uses it and it keeps working well.
@@catfooddispensersreviews2696 excellent. mine comes tomorrow, can’t wait !
How would you compare this auto litter box with the LR4? Which one is better?
They both work well in the sense of not having to scoop the litter box, however the LR4 is more advance with more features, easier to empty to clean, and easier for the cat to enter to it.

If you dont unscrew it for a deep clean, does it get really dirty under the rubber? Not sure i want to unscrew it each time 😅

Also, how often do I need to dump the whole litter?
I replace it every two weeks and it works fine.
