EZSKUUP’s C32 litter box solves a simple problem most automatic boxes ignore: cats that hate being trapped. The fully open design means no hood, no door, and no enclosed tunnel. For skittish cats or seniors with arthritis, that matters. The entry sits at just 6.7 inches, so kittens and 22-pound Maine Coons can step in without jumping. The whole pan is 27.5 inches wide, giving even large cats room to turn around.

The dual-rake system handles the dirty work. Two rakes sweep from opposite sides, meeting in the middle to push waste into the sealed bin. In testing, this cleared clumps without dragging debris across clean litter. The 20 included liners fit the bin snugly, and the self-cleaning cycle runs on a timer or manual trigger. The box handles cats from 3.3 to 22 pounds, though larger cats will appreciate the extra width more than the small ones.

One limitation: the 7.6-inch height means the rakes can’t dig deep into corners. You’ll still need to scoop the edges manually every few days. The liners are proprietary, so you’re tied to EZSKUUP’s refills. But for a box that prioritizes cat comfort over gimmicks, the open layout and dual-rake cleaning make daily maintenance genuinely less gross.
