AutonomyL2 capabilities expandedReadinessReady Now heldScoreScores unchangedThe redesign targets larger and multi-cat households already served by the original Max Pro. Owner reports on long-term facial-recognition accuracy and health-alert reliability remain limited.
Impact on autonomy
- AI camera adds per-cat facial recognition for automated visit identification and logging.
- Weight sensors pair with the camera to flag deviations in individual cat behavior.
- Multi-cat recognition accuracy reportedly depends on an active Care+ subscription, per third-party coverage.
Impact on readiness
- Litter box entry widened roughly 43 percent, per manufacturer and reviewer descriptions, for easier access.
- 8-liter sealed bin rated for up to 17 days scoop-free with one cat.
- Multi-cat scoop-free duration varies with cat count and usage, per PetKit's own product page.

Technical notes4 sections
- Design Changes
-
The Max Pro 2 widens the litter box entry opening, described by PetKit and reviewers as roughly 43 percent larger than the prior Purobot Max Pro, intended for larger, senior, and short-legged cats that struggled with narrower openings on earlier models.
- Camera and Health Monitoring
-
An integrated AI camera with a 210-degree wide-angle lens and infrared night vision pairs with weight sensors to log each cat’s litter box visits. PetKit markets this as part of its AI Health ecosystem, tracking visit frequency, duration, and weight changes per cat and flagging deviations for owners to review in the companion app.
- Multi-Cat Recognition
-
Facial recognition distinguishes individual cats in multi-cat households. PetKit’s own materials emphasize multi-cat suitability generally rather than a specific per-unit ceiling, while some third-party coverage cites a much higher supported count.
- Capacity and Connectivity
-
An 8-liter sealed waste bin with contactless drawstring packing is rated by PetKit for up to 17 days without scooping for a single cat, with multi-cat intervals shorter and usage-dependent. The unit connects over 5G WiFi to a companion app for remote monitoring and control.
