This litter box is a piece of junk. It worked for approximately 3 weeks correctly, then limped along sort of working for 1 week before completely breaking. It was almost impossible to get ahold of the company and once they finally answered an e-mail, they wanted video. I had to send a video of the box doing nothing . I also sent a video of the full litter box as it was full of cat poop from not working.
Once i again got a response, their answer was that they wanted to send me new sensors. From hearing from lots of other people having the same issue, they come with no instructions. I told them no and that i wanted my money back and at that point i did not hear another word from them. I had to dispute the charges to get my money. Now i tell everyone i know and i post on every ad i see to not buy it. There are so many people having these same issues. This company should not be in business

I bought this piece of crap November 23 stopped working after 4 months.
I bought this crap last November through affirm. It stopped working after 4 months. The door won't close the rake stuck and it smelled like something died. I sent email was constantly ignored. Elspet should refund everyone and close down the company. And refund everyone who lost their money. It's not fair. People don't have this kind of money. I was praying we'd get enough people to file a lawsuit. It's still in the process. Few lawyers are looking into it. But they all need to stop selling anything from elspet or anything that says spaceship.

The product didn't work and the…
The product didn't work and the customer service is atrocious. They demanded I take a video of myself assembling the product before offering any refund. They also won't give a full refund even if it's a defective product like mine. This company is trash and the product sucks. At least mine does. Nice $499 gift for elspet. If i could write a more harsh review for them, i would because they screwed us over and the product is worthless. Don't buy this garbage. You've been warned.

Dreadful
Dreadful. House smelled and cost a fortune in litter as it wasted so much. Never done cleaning it. Reverted back to more traditional box and it's is soooo much better. I want a refund but getting the runaround. Angry and disappointed. Can't afford the financial loss.
Don't waste your money folks.
Response from els petOct 24, 2024
Dear Kara, We sincerely apologize for the any inconvenience and disappointment this may have caused.
We understand your frustration and will work to correct this issue, we are sorry this situation has caused you any trouble, for this situation, we fully understand your concerns and are here to help you.
Please accept our sincerest apologies. We are working on resolving this problem. About the problem of bad smell, we recommend using mineral cat litter.
Mineral cat litter is lighter, has better absorbency, and provides superior odor control. Bentonite clay mineral cat litter is favored by many cat owners for its excellent absorbency and clumping ability. Mineral cat litter offers effective odor control by absorbing urine and reducing odors.
We got your feedback, it never done cleaning? To assist us in diagnosing and resolving your problem more accurately, please upload your video of the issue to Google Drive and share the link with us. This will help us gain a better understanding of the specific problem and offer timely support.
Here are the simple steps to upload a video:
Open Google Drive (drive.google.com).
Click the "New" button in the upper left corner and select "File Upload".
Please select the video file of the failure you recorded and upload it.
After the upload is complete, right-click on the video file and select "Get Link".
In the pop-up window, ensure that "Access Permission" is set to "Anyone with the link can view", then copy the link.
Send the copied link to our email: [email protected].
After we receive the video, we will analyze your issue promptly and get in touch with you.
We will address this immediately and take measures to prevent this problem from happening next time. We apologize for this problem again, and appreciate your understanding as we work to improve our services.

ZERO RATED: BUYERS BEWARE
BUYERS BEWARE - my automatic litter box stopped raking after 6 weeks and I was told by their support team that the sensors needed replacing. You are expected to do it yourself. If you do that and cause more damage then the warranty would be void. Communication is via email only (via China). It would be very costly to send back at your own expense, I’m going to dump mine. Conflicting information on who the founder is: CEO Park (on Website) or CEO Yuan Gong (not mentioned on Website).
UPDATE
Was sent a new one on 19th October and told that I did not need to send old one back, so I took it to the dumb. This does not rake all the debris, which means you have manually scoop. Their advertising says “No More Scooping”. This means they are lying to us. Below is the reply I received from Elspet Customer Team this morning 29/10/24
Dear Maureen,
So sorry for the trouble caused.
There is still a 9mm distance between the rake and the bottom of the litter basin.
The garbage buried at the bottom may not be raked.
You need to use a shovel to turn up the clumped cat litter at the bottom, and then can rake it.
Please rest assured that we are taking steps to address the issue and prevent it from happening again in the future. Your satisfaction is our top priority, and we appreciate your understanding and patience during this time.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us again.
Best regards,
Luna

LATEST UPDATE - 30/10/24
Email from Elspet
Dear Maureen,
So sorry for the trouble caused.
I hope this message finds you well.
I wanted to address your recent concerns regarding this issue.
For the old one, we have sent you the sensors but you do not want to change.
So we sent you a new one, you still said it has the problem.
But this is not the machine problem.
According to our return policy, this is the returning request of our customer's own problem instead of the product problem, so you need to pay the shipping fee incurred by returning the goods, and we can not issue the refund until we receive the package, please kindly understand.
The return will cost you about 150 USD and the returning time may last for about one month. To save your time and money, we suggest that you keep the item or give it away to others in need.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us again.
Best regards,
Luna
ELS PET Customer Service Team
Basically, stay well clear of this Company because it is false advertising. It is a blatant lie that you will not have to scoop again. Of course you do because they admitted that the rake does not go to bottom of tray. You still have to scoop the clumps. Here ends my very expensive lesson.

POOR QUALITY SCAMMING CHINESE
Absolutely never buy from this company. When I asked for refund they told me that it takes too long and asked to give the litter box to people in need instead. DONT BUY ANYTHING FROM THESE CHINESE SCAMMERS. Poor quality product!!! AVOID AVOID

Won't ever get a full refund
I really wish I would have known that this box uses foam pieces to block urine from coming out of the box. Having to wipe the sensors, scoop myself at the bottom of the box because the litter gets caked are ALL reasons that I want to return AND get my full money back!
Understand that if you buy this product and are unhappy and want to send it back for a full refund, THEY WON'T DO IT!
Had I known ALL of this up front, best believe that I would have NEVER purchased this box.
PLEASE DON'T MAKE THE MISTAKE I DID. GO WITH A DIFFERENT AUTOMATIC LITTER BOX COMPANY!!!!!
El's Pet...... I've already emailed you. Why don't you state here that you just give the runaround on a refund!
