Gimars XXL 90L Anti-Pinch Self-Cleaning Cat Litter Box with App Control
Product description
What it is and what problem it solves
The Gimars XXL 90L is a fully enclosed, self-cleaning litter box designed for multi-cat homes. It combines remote app control with a sizable 90-litre interior to handle cats from kittens through larger adults. The aim is to minimise daily maintenance, contain odours, and reduce litter tracking across the room.
How it works and what’s inside
You can operate cleaning cycles remotely via the companion app, and the system can recognise up to five cats by weight to track usage and health data. An external fresh air system continuously filters air inside the unit, helping to keep odours in check even when placed in living areas. The triple sensor setup—IR entrance sensor, IR sensor in the waste bin, and a PIR thermal sensor—acts as a safety net to stop rotation the moment a cat approaches or enters.
What stands out in everyday use
The XXL interior offers ample space for small to large cats (1.5–10 kg), making it a practical choice for households with multiple felines. The dual anti-tracking step design reduces litter scatter, particularly when kittens or older cats use the box. It’s designed to be practical for daily life rather than a gimmick: you can monitor activity remotely, receive alerts, and adjust sensor settings as needed.
Strengths and what could be better
On the plus side, the large capacity and multi-cat recognition help with busy households, and external odour control is a meaningful feature for rooms that aren’t dedicated to pet care. The safety features are sensible, and the separate steps can be kinder on smaller or less mobile cats. A potential limitation is that the system relies on app connectivity, if your phone or internet is flaky, you might experience delays in remote control or alerts.
Who it’s for
This product is a sensible fit for households with multiple cats, including kittens and seniors, where minimising maintenance and odour is important. If you value a higher-capacity solution that can cater to a range of cat sizes, the 90L interior is a notable point in its favour.
Who might prefer something simpler or smaller
If you only have a single, smallish cat or you’re not keen on relying on an app for routine tasks, a smaller or non-app-controlled model could be more straightforward and affordable.
When to buy and when to pause
Consider buying if you live in a multi-cat household and want to reduce manual scooping, if odour control is a priority, and if you appreciate remote management. Pause if you’re not comfortable with app-based control or if your space doesn’t set up well for an enclosed unit.
What to check before purchasing
- Confirm there’s suitable space for the dual-step design and the full enclosure.
- Ensure you have reliable Wi-Fi for app operations and alerts.
- Consider your cats’ sizes, while it supports 1.5–10 kg, very large cats or frequent heavy sprayers may impact cycling.
- Think about litter type compatibility and how easy it is to replace or clean after cycles.
Practical usage note
In a busy multi-cat home, you can imagine scheduling cycles to run during periods when rooms are less occupied, then checking the app for usage patterns. It won’t fully replace manual cleaning if there is significant mess or heavy litter usage, but it can noticeably reduce daily maintenance time and help keep living spaces fresher.
Quick FAQ

Decision section
Is it worth it?
Worth considering if you prioritise lower daily maintenance in a multi-cat home and want stronger odour control through an enclosed design. It makes sense for households that want remote supervision and health data on their cats, provided you’re comfortable with app-based management and have space for the unit.
