Three turns.
Clean box.

Orbitic One is the self-sifting litter box with nothing to plug in, pair or update. A rotating sieve drum lifts clumps into a sealed drawer while clean litter stays put.

How it works

One drum. One crank. No scooping.

Every other self-cleaning box hides a motor and a control board. We replaced both with a gear and a handle, so the failure rate is the same as a door hinge.

Why Orbitic

Engineered like an appliance, simple like a tool.

We spent two years removing parts. What's left is a sieve, a gearbox and a gasket, each built to outlast the cat.

Inside the drum

A stainless sieve that turns every clump into a drop.

The mesh is angled 11° toward the chute. As the drum rotates, clean litter falls back, clumps climb, and gravity handles the rest.

Zero electronics

No motor, no sensors, no firmware. The only thing that can fail is you forgetting to turn it.

Rotating sieve drum

A 2.4 mm laser-cut mesh separates clumps from clean litter in a single revolution. No raking, no scooping.

Odour-sealed drawer

The waste drawer closes against a silicone gasket and carries an activated-carbon filter. Smell stays inside.

Silent by design

Nothing whirs at 3 a.m. The drum rides on nylon rollers, and the crank ratchets softly.

Cat-first entry

A 24 cm opening, a 9 cm step height and a textured mat that catches tracked litter on the way out.

Fully serviceable

Every part unclips without tools. Drum, bowl and drawer go in the sink. Spares ship for the life of the product.

Designed for the room

Looks like furniture. Behaves like a machine.

A warm ivory shell, a matte crank and a footprint smaller than a carry-on. Put it where the cat wants it, not where the outlet is.

Returned two 'smart' boxes before this. Orbitic just works. Three cranks in the morning with my coffee and the box is spotless.

The build quality surprised me. The drum feels like a kitchen appliance, not a plastic toy. Zero smell in a one-bedroom flat.

My senior cat refused every enclosed box. The low step and wide opening won her over in two days.

No app, no notifications, no battery to die while I'm away. Honestly refreshing. The drawer holds a full week for us.

Takes a few tries to learn the right litter depth, then it's flawless. Wish the drawer liners came in a bigger pack.

Support replaced a scratched drawer under warranty in four days, no questions. That alone earned the fifth star.

FAQ

Questions, answered honestly.

Anything else? Our support team is made of cat owners and replies within one business day.

Does it really need no power at all?
Correct. There is no motor, battery, sensor or circuit board anywhere in the product. The crank turns the sieve drum through a 3:1 gear so three easy turns give a full revolution of the drum.
Which litter can I use?
Any clumping litter works: bentonite clay, tofu, corn, wheat or crystal-clay blends. Non-clumping litter will not sift because there are no clumps to separate. We include a fill line so you always run the right depth.
How often do I empty the drawer?
The 3.2 litre drawer holds roughly a week of waste for one cat, or three to four days for two cats. A full drawer never blocks the chute, and a small window shows the level without opening it.
Will my cat actually use an enclosed box?
Most cats adapt within a few days. The entry is wider and lower than typical hooded boxes, and the drum has no closed lid overhead, so it feels open from inside. If your cat refuses, return it within 30 days for a full refund.
How is it cleaned?
The drum, bowl and drawer unclip without tools and are dishwasher safe on the top rack. A monthly rinse is plenty; most owners just wipe the mesh with the included brush.
What does the warranty cover?
Two years on every part including the drum, gearing and gasket, with parts and labour covered. Spare drawers, mats and liners are stocked for at least ten years after purchase.
When does it ship?
Pre-orders placed now ship in the first batch, currently scheduled for early November. You are charged only when your unit ships, and you can cancel any time before then.
