Living with it
- Consumables
- The waste drawer uses pre-fitted, auto-sealing waste bags, so emptying it is a pull-seal-toss motion with no scooping or touching the clumps. elspet.com
- Subscription
- The Orbitie itself is a one-time purchase with no required app subscription; Els Pet's separate 'Subscription' program is only an optional auto-delivery discount for litter and liner accessories. elspet.com
- Noise
- Els Pet advertises whisper-quiet, library-quiet 35dB operation, with a sleep mode for overnight use. elspet.com
- Warranty
- Els Pet backs the Orbitie with a one-year warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship under normal use. elspet.com
What long-term reviewers and owners report.
- One owner who'd previously used Els Pet's own Spaceship and a Litter-Robot says the Orbitie is smaller, quieter, cleaner, and cheaper than both. elspet.com
- An owner with a cat over 20 lbs says the wide entryway makes the Orbitie easy for large cats to use and that it runs quieter than she expected. elspet.com
- One owner who'd had an unreliable sensor on a previous automatic box says this one ran flawlessly with no stuck cycles over two weeks of use. elspet.com
- An owner reports the safety pause worked as expected when her cat climbed in mid-cycle, though she still hopes there's a backup stop mechanism. elspet.com
- One verified buyer ran the unit for about two weeks with no stuck cycles or missed self-cleans, after a prior automatic box's sensor was unreliable. elspet.com
- A one-star Trustpilot reviewer calls it a design and customer-service failure after her unit jammed within weeks and support declined a refund inside the 90-day trial. trustpilot.com
- One owner says a support agent was slow to respond, pushed back on a return by warning about return-shipping cost, and sent a replacement unit that arrived already broken. elspet.com
- One owner says the waste drawer still smells for a while after a cycle and wishes the seal were improved. elspet.com
- One owner found it unclear from the unit itself how to tell when to empty the litter before adding a fresh batch. elspet.com
