About PETKIT
PETKIT is a smart pet-tech company founded in 2013 by Weike Guo and headquartered in Shanghai, China. Over the past decade it has built out a full line of connected pet-care hardware -- automatic litter boxes, WiFi feeders, water fountains, and litter -- now sold in more than 30 countries and backed by over 400 product patents. Its self-cleaning litter box lineup ranges from the value-focused PuraMax series to the flagship Purobot Max Pro line, which pairs a rotating-drum cleaning mechanism with an AI camera that uses facial recognition to track litter-box habits for each cat in a household individually.
PETKIT's litter boxes have drawn hands-on testing from Cats.com, CNN Underscored, and other independent reviewers, who've noted the PuraMax 2's multi-layer safety sensors and competitive price against flagship rivals like the Litter-Robot 4. The Purobot Max Pro 2's AI health-tracking system, which photographs waste after every cycle and flags abnormalities in stool color and clump size, won a Microsoft AI Innovation Award at CES 2026. The brand backs its litter boxes with a two-year warranty.

Why we recognized PETKIT
The House of Mittens Top Brand recognition isn't paid for and can't be applied for. We award it to the brands whose products consistently stand out in our vet-reviewed category guides. PETKIT earned it on the strength of the products below, evaluated the same way every product on this site is: assessed against feline-health criteria, used with real cats, and judged on merit.
PETKIT products we rated highly
PETKIT PuraMax 2 Automatic Self-Cleaning Litter Box
Delivers WiFi control, scheduled and on-demand cleaning, odor management, and multi-cat usage logging at roughly half the cost of the flagship robots -- the best price-to-feature ratio of any app-connected box we tested. A layered safety system pairs weight sensing with an infrared anti-pinch radar that stops the drum the moment a cat is detected, and the sealed, anti-leak waste compartment keeps odor down between empties.

PETKIT Purobot Max Pro 2 AI-Camera Self-Cleaning Litter Box
A high-resolution AI camera with cat facial recognition identifies each cat individually and keeps its litter-box data separate -- the standout feature for a multi-cat home where you need to know exactly which cat is straining, going too often, or skipping the box. The camera photographs waste after every cycle and flags abnormalities in stool color or clump size, genuinely useful early-warning data for catching urinary and digestive problems before they escalate.

PETKIT Pura Mixed Tofu + Bentonite Cat Litter
Blends plant-based tofu with bentonite clay to bridge two worlds -- the eco-friendly, partially flushable, low-dust character of tofu with the strong, reliable clumping that clay is known for. Lightly scented with green tea rather than synthetic fragrance, a gentler approach for owners who want some scent without overwhelming their cat.

- Two PETKIT litter boxes are among our top picks in our automatic litter box reviews, spanning the value-focused PuraMax 2 and the AI-camera health-tracking Purobot Max Pro 2, one of the few brands with multiple products earning that recognition.
- The Purobot Max Pro 2's per-cat AI health tracking, which photographs waste after every cycle and flags abnormal stool color or clump size, won a Microsoft AI Innovation Award at CES 2026.
- A layered safety system on the PuraMax 2 -- weight sensing plus infrared anti-pinch radar -- earns our reviewing veterinarian's confidence for households with a curious or smaller cat.
- The Pura tofu-bentonite litter offers a genuinely useful hybrid: tofu's low dust and partial flushability combined with bentonite's dependable clumping, rather than forcing owners to choose one or the other.
- Independently tested and covered by Cats.com and CNN Underscored, beyond Amazon customer reviews alone.
- Backed by a two-year warranty on its litter box hardware.
