Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about this comparison
Which is better for multi-cat households?
PetCove is marketed for multi-cat households, holding 5 days of waste for three cats. PETKIT also has multi-cat recognition and tracks individual data via its AI camera, but its 8L bin is specified for 17 days for one cat, implying less frequent changes for multiple cats.
What's the main difference in sensor technology?
PETKIT utilizes an AI camera for facial recognition and health monitoring via waste analysis, alongside proximity sensors. PetCove uses a combination of weight and infrared sensors for operational safety, including anti-pinch protection. This offers a more basic, yet effective, detection system.
Which product can accommodate heavier cats?
PetCove supports cats up to 18.0 lbs, making it suitable for slightly larger felines. The PETKIT unit has a slightly lower maximum pet weight limit of 17.6 lbs. The difference is minimal but could be a factor for cats close to these limits.
Which litter box offers better waste capacity?
The PETKIT has a specified waste drawer capacity of 8.0 liters, capable of holding 17 days of waste for one cat. PetCove's waste bin holds 15 days for one cat or 5 days for three cats, making PETKIT slightly superior for single-cat extended use.
