Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about this comparison
Which is better for multi-cat households?
Both are designed for multiple cats. PetCove states its waste bin holds 15 days for 1 cat or 5 days for 3 cats. ABRCT also accommodates multiple cats, but doesn't specify waste capacity. PetCove supports cats up to 18 lbs.
What's the main difference in sensor technology?
PetCove specifies a "weight, infrared" sensor for reliable detection and safety. ABRCT mentions an "Anti-Pinch" mechanism but does not detail its specific sensor type, implying a basic safety mechanism rather than a sophisticated detection system.
Does one offer better remote control?
Yes, PetCove offers remote monitoring and control via an app, utilizing 5 GHz Wi-Fi. ABRCT does not specify app control or Wi-Fi connectivity, suggesting it operates without remote functionality.
Is one unit easier to move or takes up less space?
PetCove is significantly lighter at 16.02 lbs and more compact (18.9"W x 20.08"D). ABRCT weighs 30 lbs and requires more floor space (21.5"W x 21.5"D), making PetCove easier to relocate and fit.
