PETLUX V3 – The difference is in the details

The PETLUX V3 is designed in Europe and specifically tailored for large cat breeds like Maine Coons, Ragdolls, and Norwegian Forest Cats. With a 100-liter drum, sturdy construction, and eco-friendly waste disposal options, this model offers something other brands simply don't: space, peace of mind, and simplicity.

The PETLUX V3 is also included 100% waterproof, easy to clean and suitable for both plastic waste bags and sustainable alternatives such as cardboard and stainless steel.

Why Petkit models are less suitable for large cats:

• The Pura X and Purobot are relatively small inside.

• Odor control relies on UV/ion technology, less effective with intensive use.

• Only compatible with expensive, brand-specific bags.

• Assembly and maintenance are more complex than with PETLUX.

Conclusion

If you have a small cat and are looking for a compact, futuristic litter box, consider Petkit. But for those truly looking for a long-term solution, suitable for large cats, multiple cats, or simply a lot less hassle, the PETLUX V3 is undoubtedly the smarter choice.

Locally supported. Sustainably designed. Spacious enough for every cat.
