Returning the Litter Robot during the 90-Day return period

For most cats, especially if they are good with using a manual litter tray, the Litter-Robot is a welcome addition to the home. Everyone loves a clean litter tray, and once your cat or cats understand, they usually adapt quickly to the new lifestyle, and appreciate having an automatic litter tray.

If your cat/cats are good with a litter tray, and you follow our suggestions, we generally have a 99% success rate. Sometimes it takes longer than expected, with multi-cat households often finding an unexpected hierarchy affecting how quickly all the cats transition to the new lifestyle. Patience, and allowing each cat to transition at its own pace, is worth the outcome of not having to manually scoop your litter tray (or trays).

However, if for some reason transition is not successful, or you find the Robot is not suitable,  you have peace of mind that you can return the Litter-Robot for a refund, with the 90-day guarantee. 

Please get in touch with us at Lucky Pet if you want to return your Litter Robot. Do not return it without notifying us first.

Simply put, you need to return the Robot in the original box and all packing materials, cleaned and in good condition, including all paperwork (manuals) and power supply, to our NSW workshop for checking. The cost to ship is paid by the returner, with a courier needed for returns (the Robot is too large to ship for Australia Post).   

Once received, and checked, the purchase price will be refunded, less shipping if applicable, and the cost to replace or repair any damages.

It's disappointing if the Litter-Robot is not the success that was hoped for, but cats are cats, and sometimes, it's not a good fit for the particular home. We understand, as cat owners, and work to ensure the process is as smooth as possible.

During the 90-Day period, please retain all packaging materials including the inner protection, and ensure it all remains in as-new condition. The main consideration for customers to keep the box, which is custom-made for the Litter-Robot. The original box ensures the Robot travels safe, and can be resold as second-hand. The box (including the inserts) folds flat for storage. If not retained, the return process is more difficult to complete smoothly, and the cost of a new box is minused from any refund.

We strongly recommend NOT to use scented litters in the Robot. Scented litter is concentrated in the globe, possibly discouraging cats from transitioning, and can permeate the heavy-duty PVC liner, necessitating replacement at returner cost. Scented litters also affect the carbon filter badly, necessitating more frequent replacement.

A thorough deep clean with wash of the globe, as demonstrated in the manufacturer's video, ensures the Robot is ready to ship back.

A quick check that everything is in the Box before returning:

  • Clean and dry Litter Robot, including step mat, tray with filter, base, globe and bonnet, and power supply
  • Litter Robot box and all packaging materials
  • Manual booklet
  • Quick Reference Guide (colourful card)
  • Startup guide

We can arrange the courier for return, or can provide return address. The return cost is nonrefundable.
