All specialty robots. Every figure below is placed against the whole class, so a gap can be read against how much the class itself varies.
How far apart is a long way?
A number only means something next to the spread it sits in. Each track is the real range across every classified robot in the class, with the median marked.

Not compared, because fewer than two of these robots carry a published figure: Runtime, Charge time.
What the numbers leave out.
Written on each record, and the only thing here every robot on the site carries.
The trade-off
What each design gives up to be good at what it is good at.
CatLink Scooper Pro Ultra
Includes a camera and two-way audio for remote monitoring, but data storage details are not disclosed on the product page itself.
Supports up to 5 cats with individual health tracking, but that tracking depends on a maintained WiFi connection.
PetKit Purobot Max Pro 2
Identifies individual cats via camera and weight sensing, but that video is stored in the cloud rather than on-device.
Continues its preset cleaning cycle without a network connection, but per-cat usage logging stops syncing while offline.
Who each one is wrong for
Stated by the record itself. A robot being wrong for a household is a fact about fit, not a fault.
CatLink Scooper Pro Ultra
- Cats under approximately 6.6 lbs
- Manufacturer states the unit is not suitable for cats below this weight.
- Households without reliable WiFi
- Health tracking and multi-cat recognition depend on a maintained WiFi connection.
- Buyers wanting clear, on-page disclosure of camera data storage
- The product page references a paid cloud storage plan without detailing where footage is stored by default or its retention policy.
PetKit Purobot Max Pro 2
- Kittens or cats under 3.3 lbs
- Manufacturer does not recommend use below this weight.
- Placement on soft or unstable flooring
- Manufacturer states the unit should not be installed on this type of surface.
- Buyers who want full video history without an ongoing subscription
- Video playback beyond a 30-day free trial requires a paid PETKIT Care+ subscription.
What stays your job
The upkeep ownership hands back to you, whatever the autonomy level says.
CatLink Scooper Pro Ultra
- Weekly: Check litter depth in the 65 L globe and top off; CATLINK supports mixed, bentonite, and plant-based litters and publishes no refill interval.
- Weekly: Empty the 13 L waste drawer; CATLINK publishes no emptying interval, and multi-cat households will empty more often.
- Monthly: Spot-clean the globe interior and sensor area with the included cleaning brush; CATLINK publishes no cleaning cadence.
- Monthly: Check the activated carbon filter; CATLINK states each filter lasts 30-60 days and recommends replacement every 60 days ($29.99 for one set covering two months; CATLINK sells six sets as a one-year supply for $174.94).
- As needed: Replace the sift filter screen when the mesh wears or clogs ($19.99 replacement sold for the Pro Ultra; no interval published).
- As needed: Maintain the WiFi connection; health tracking and multi-cat recognition stop without it, and offline base-cycle behavior is undocumented.
PetKit Purobot Max Pro 2
- Weekly: Check litter depth in the 76 L cylinder and top off; particle size must not exceed 0.47 in (12 mm).
- Weekly: Empty the 8 L waste bin and fit a fresh liner bag; PetKit sells fitted trash bags ($29.99) but publishes no emptying interval.
- Monthly: Wipe the litter chamber, camera lens, and sensor windows; PetKit documents 12 safety sensors and an IPX5 camera but no cleaning cadence.
- Every 3-6 months: Dump the litter bed entirely and wash the cylinder before refilling; PetKit publishes no interval for a full change.
- As needed: Replace the Pet Odor Eliminator N50 2.0 cartridge ($19.99); PetKit publishes no replacement interval.
- As needed: Confirm placement on firm, level flooring after moving the unit; soft, uneven, or unstable surfaces are unsupported.
- As needed: Renew the PETKIT Care+ subscription to retain video playback beyond the 30-day free trial.
How much each of these is standing on.
Classifications rest on different depths of evidence. A pre-release assessment and a verified one are not the same kind of claim.

Evidence status counts the sources behind a classification, not their kind. A high count can be maker documentation and price coverage, so read it as how much was reviewed rather than as independent testing. How we weigh evidence.
