Analysis: The Poopy Cat uses an existing OEM model that is virtually identical to the earlier PETLUX V2. While this model worked well for smaller cats at the time, it has some limitations:

• Not 100% leak-proof

• Has a rubber inner mat that can be damaged by digging
  

• Limited interior space

• Plastic bags for waste 

The PETLUX V3 was developed as a successor, with significant improvements in all areas mentioned. Especially for larger cats and households with multiple cats, the V3 offers significantly more comfort and ease of use.

Environmental aspects: The PETLUX V3 supports the use of biodegradable trays and stainless steel waste bins. This saves up to 100 plastic bags per year per user. Poopy or the PETLUX V3 only accepts plastic waste bags.

User experiences: PETLUX V3 users report that their cats adapt more quickly to the spacious drum and that odors are better controlled. Poopy users are generally satisfied with their smaller cats, but more often report odor problems or limited capacity.

Conclusion: The PETLUX V2 and, for example, the Poopy automatic litter box are suitable for smaller cats, easy to use, and more affordable. However, they have limitations in terms of waterproofness, risk of malfunctioning components such as the rubber mat, space requirements, and durability. For cat lovers who value comfort, ecology, and modern features, the PETLUX V3 is the logical choice.
