iKuddle Auto-Pack is the world's first self-cleaning cat toilet

Cat lovers are no less than dogs lovers. One can endlessly argue about which of these animals is more faithful and loyal to their master, and to make endless arguments in favor of a pet. However, many dog owners often also have cats. Without them, our lives would certainly not be complete, they give us a lot of pleasant moments with one grunt and a lap. It is scientifically proven that pet owners are much more balanced and satisfied with life than those who have no animals at all. Usually, we talk about wonderful inventions that focus on both cats and dogs. Manufacturers typically try to make smart animal devices unified to maximize the reach of their users. However, this does not apply to today's beautiful device in every sense. Today, we head to Burlingame (CA, USA), where iKuddle has introduced a self-cleaning smart cat toilet for iKuddle Auto-Pack, which can operate both from a removable battery and from the power supply, but most importantly - it collects livelihoods and favorite foods neatly packs them in special packages, packs them and deodorizes the air indoors.

Features of the novelty

We try to give our animals love and care. Instead, we get their loyalty, dedication and a lot of fun and interesting moments. Who, but not domestic pets, can see the excuse for joy and fun, even when it is not near. Dogs and cats teach us responsibility and are very disciplining. And this is not to say that psychologists have recently been inclining to the fact that the modern man in the face of constant stress just needs to have a pet that will relieve the stress and nervousness of its owner better than any doctor.

Earlier, we talked about the wonderful invention of the present - a smart collar Scollar Mini from the American company Scollar. It combines a wealth of useful features: its display shows the name of the animal along with information about its owners so that in the event of a loss, it can be returned to you, includes a GPS module, as well as Wi-Fi and Bluetooth so you can to track its location within a radius of 800 m. In addition, the novelty will remind you of the need for timely feeding, vaccinations, insecticide treatment and will help monitor the health of a pet (you can read more about it at the link).

Most recently useful gadgets allow you to keep abreast of your favorite cat and dog routes, find them quickly, keep track of their health, focus our attention on their possible illnesses, and entertain them in our absence. Today's novelty is designed to address the day-to-day worries that every owner has - namely, cleaning and depuration their toilet. The smart device looks like a small nightstand with an oval entry hole (like in a dog house). Its principle of operation is very simple - as soon as your animal has done "its thing" and came out without bending, the mechanism that sifts the filler of the toilet, sifting the lumps and putting them into a special container comes into effect.

About once a week, when this tank is full, you will need to be notified in the app that you will need to manually pack a waste bag using your smartphone or smartphone. The device is neat and importantly, sealed, packs the breasts and opens the feeder, which already has a formed roll. All you have to do is remove and dispose of it. The new garbage bag is automatically replaced by the discarded one. The whole process of packing and disposal of lumps can take place automatically with a set interval of time (from 1 minute to 1 hour), when the lift needs to begin sorting and cleaning. Clean pellets of cat toilet filler are filtered off while passing through a special sieve. And all the waste is immediately sent to the garbage bag, where they are stored until final disposal.

The tank is tight enough, and in addition received a filter to contain odors. By the way, it must be changed periodically. The manufacturer recommends doing this about every two months. The deodorant system holds about 80-90% of the odors inside and automatically turns on after the cat leaves the toilet. Odor filtration works every 5 minutes for the best air purification. Each automated toilet is designed for one or two cats.

Inside it there are special motion sensors. If in the process of cleaning, the cat accidentally appears inside the device, the cleaning is immediately stopped, so as not to accidentally injure your pet. Dimensions of iKuddle Auto-Pack were 76.2 * 47 * 44 cm (length * width * height), its weight - 10 kg. The size of the waste compartment is 19 * 16 * 15.2 cm, which is equivalent to about 7 liters of lumps. The filler tray measures 44 * 38.6 * 7.6 cm (length * width * depth).

This volume is sufficient for final disposal once a week. The size of the entrance oval was 24 * 19 cm. The recommended weight of cats is in the range of 1.8 - 8.2 kg, that is suitable for almost all known breeds, except the largest (like Maine coons). The novelty received a removable lithium battery with a capacity of 2200 mAh. This is enough for 15 days of battery life. Recharging comes from the mains and lasts about 3 hours. This device also works from a power source directly.
