AutoScooper 11 Cat Litter Box vs AutoScooper 12 Lite Cat Litter Box
Both are self-cleaning AutoScooper boxes, but they fit different homes. The 12 Lite is the better-known, higher-rated model and the cheaper one at $149, while the 11 is the roomier open box with a 10L waste drawer. Buy the 12 Lite for a proven, budget-friendly automatic box; buy the 11 if your cat is large or dislikes enclosed drums.
