The App Review and My Experience with Neakasa's Toilet
As I was browsing through the App Store, I came across an app that caught my attention - Neakasa's toilet app. The fact that it had only one review on the App Store always gave me a positive vibe about the app needing to be improved. Upon further inspection, I realized that it required an email address for login and precise location data before calibration. I was intrigued by this requirement, but I couldn't help wondering why my cat's toilet needed to know where I was before it would calibrate to the cat litter in it. Perhaps there's some very important reason for that, but I decided to proceed with caution.
After connecting the app to the Wi-Fi and creating a toilet Tinder profile, I was finally able to dump some cat litter into the toilet, which it could then calibrate to because it knew where I was. However, my excitement was short-lived as I ran into a problem - I had forgotten the bags that came with the Neakasa at the office. I decided to test its compatibility with just regular bags I buy at a shop, which were medium-sized and slightly problematic due to their size increasing in depth as they went up.
Once I got the bag in place and the toilet fully figured out, the real battle began - getting Neco to use his new water closet. The cat poop waiting game had begun, with Neko staring down his new toilet for ages, seemingly uninterested in using it. I couldn't help but wonder if giving him some laxatives would encourage him to move forward, but he seemed more interested in tummy play action. Eventually, after several hours of sleep, Neco woke up and finally decided to use the toilet.
However, his enthusiasm was short-lived as he used the wrong one - Neko-Chan! The app had suggested moving some old litter into the new toilet to help him recognize its scent, but even with that strategy in place, Neco continued to use his trusty old toilet. We eventually resorted to blocking off his original toilet, which made Neco less than pleased.
But after an extended display of displeasure, Neko finally gave in and began using the new toilet, albeit sometimes just for general recreation. The Neakasa toilet worked wonders, with a rotating cycle that filtered out defiled cat litter and left clean litter at the top for Neco to interact with. It was a convenient system, requiring minimal interaction on my part - apart from adding more litter or emptying out the poop dungeon once it got full.
One issue I encountered was the plastic bag, which seemed heavy and not biodegradable. While I accepted it because I thought it would be funny, I realized that there should be compostable options available for such a product. Additionally, I found the app to be somewhat unnecessary, despite its ability to track Neco's bowel movements.
Another issue was the cost - Neakasa toilet is no cheap solution, and while I think it's worth the investment, it's still a significant amount of money to spend on just something for your cat. Despite these drawbacks, the toilet itself worked remarkably well, like having a "poop Butler" at my disposal.
In conclusion, using the Neakasa toilet was an experience that tested my patience and creativity. However, despite its challenges, it provided me with a convenient and reliable solution to managing Neco's litter box needs.
WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enThis is my cat neko... and I know a bunchof you are going to commentYour cat's name is Cat and that's stupid.Well, do you know what? You're a stupid! Howabout that? huh? How do you like that? Anyway,moving on from my little outburst... For today'svideo, Neakasa sent over one of their fancynew robot toilets for Neko to defile.Now the fancy new cat lavatory in questionis the Neakasa M1 Automatic Cat Litter Box...whose box looks like it was passed throughan actual cat... one with a very violent digestivesystem. This has some exciting features onthe side of the Box. Apparently it's hands-freefor a maximum of 14 days and there's an appwhich helps your big brother track your cat'spoop schedule which kind of weirds me out.I don't know if I'm going to be able to getNeko's consent for that.One there are some safety tips so that wedon't injure our cat. I don't know if we haveBentonite at home but I'm I'm sure we canfind some. ooh, it comes with a litter catchmentmat and then under that we've got some robotL legs. Let's get the legs out and here area bunch of bagsI'm guessing for all of the poop to go intoand a user manual which hides an externalpower brick. Ooh, this feline latrine is notvery power hungry as you can see therebut you do need to be near an outlet unfortunately,it has a nicely braided cable. That kind ofjust looks like a plastic bin on a pivot butin here there's some Hightech ablution actiongoing on with a like like a grate that I guesssifts the poops I don't know if that's a that'sa technical term okay now I get to throw myback out unboxing it oh it'sbig now there is quite a lot going on on thebase of this these holes are where you screwthe feet in so that it elevates it a bit offthe ground and then this I think is the poopcatcher which this is quite rubberized andthen I think it can pop out yes there we goso that it can accommodate a reasonable amountand then these have like little guide holesso that you put them in the correct way aroundI like that oh yeah okay so now that properlyset up it looks even more like a bear or someanimal on the front there's a bunch of controlsfor Neko to use I think it's going to be abit of a learning curve for him to turn histoilet on and off every time he gets intoit but he should be fine with all of the restof the controls like the cleaning functionsand stuff he's a smart guy I'm sure he'llfigure it out and then in here I've just figuredout how this works right so this is like ait's almost like a silicon pad down here whichI think is where your cat craps onto but youhave like cat litter in here and then whenyour cat's done just defiling this area thenthe kitty crapper rotates and dumps all ofthe desecration into the base of it but withthat I'm going to take this home and we'regoing to introduce it to the neachChan from the moment I got home Neko was anxiousto see his upgrade toilet from the one he'sbeen using for years which doesn't even havean app madness put on inside ni and then we'regoing to put the feet on initially he wasreal involved in the setup of his new ouseoh look at it move but the moment it startedself articulating I was the one that was waymore excited about it than Neko okay so that'swhat it looks like you do need to plug itin uh and then once you've plugged it in yourcat completely loses interest and walks awayfrom it which is kind of standard I thinkso we're going to have to put some litterin here before that stops flashing it is goingto be quite difficult for him to get in he'sgot like a whole ledge to climb up I meanhe is a cat they are very Nimble but stilland after a quick snack and some coaxing Neelwas reignited with new toilet lust oh therewego okay and now he's licking the plastic ohthat is potentially concerning cuz he's likea plastic junk but Neko didn't spend too muchtime making out with his new friend beforesettling in nicely oh it's immediately gottenhim all sleepy so I went to go get some catlitter and add a dash more context our catneko is a pretty big boy he's not a littlecat so I think he's a good example of a lotof girth of cat in the litter box althoughas I mentioned earlier there is quite a bigstep getting into the litter box so I thinkNeko is not a great test of how accessiblethis litter box is for a small cat havingto clamor up into it now other than that Iam curious to see how Neko handles this toiletcuz he has quite an interesting way of usinghis litter box he pretty much perches on theedge of it like Batman on the side of a buildingit's very precarious and I'm not sure howwell it's going to work in the Neakasa becauseof the kind of angle that it's at I don'tknow if there's enough purchase for him onit let's connect it to the app and then seehow we go about calibrating the cat lter whichis something that is a little bit contentiouscuz it doesn't accept the cat litter thatwe normally use which is like a a wood chipbased one you have to use a different onewhich we've used in the past and didn't likesh we got to download an app yeah my favoritething in the world I wonder I wonder how muchpersonal data they're going to want now asidefrom the app just having a single onear reviewon the App Store always a great sign the appneeds an email address for login which I guessmakes sense but it also needs precise locationdata before it will Calibrate at the toiletfor some reason now I'm no engineer but Idon't understand why my cat's toilet needsto know where I am before it'll calibrateto the cat litter in it but maybe there'ssome very important reason for that so afterconnecting the app to the Wi-Fi and makinga toilet Tinder profile fan I could finallydump some cat litter into the toilet whichit could then calibrate too because it knewwhere I was but then I ran into a bit of aproblem oh I forgot the bags I forgot thelitter bags that came with the Neakasa atthe office but I decided it was a great opportunityfor me to test its compatibility with justbags you buy at a shop now these are mediumsizedbags the problem with these is as the sizegoes up they just get kind of deeper as supposedto to bigger but I'm hoping this works ohthat's not ideal and then once you half acidlypack the bag in you kind of slide it in andthen it's in and once the toilet fully figuredeverything out the real battle started gettingNeco to use his new water closet and so thecat poop waiting began with Neco staring downhis new toilet for ages do we need to giveyou some laxatives Neko? (joke)Neko had other plans all the excitement hadhim tuckered out so he head to his hidey-hole,leaving me in a state of intense productivity.So after several hours of sleeping Neko-chanhas finally woken up, although he doesn'tseem to be into pooing at the moment. Howare those bowels doing down there huh? Arethey full? but the only thing on Neko's mindwas tummy play action until the toilet startedstirring. Oh! Neko. I think the toilet thinksyou used it... but this wasn't enough to winover Neko's heart because when he eventuallychose to go to the bathroom he used the wrongone. Neko-Chan... that's the wrong toilet.You need to do... You need to be using thatone! Why are you perching there? ... Oh lookat that face! o_o The thing that they suggestedin the manual is that we move some of theold litter in there in into there so thathe like recognizes the new smell but evenwith the used cat litter mixed into the newtoilet Neko kept using his trusty old toiletso then we decided to block off his originaltoilet which Neko was not a big fan of butfinally after an extended display of how displeasedhe was Neko gave in and with that great successlet's give Neko a bit of much needed privacyand check back in in a couple days after theinitial struggle Neko seemed to acclimatizeto his new toilet real nicely he seems toquite like it sometimes even hanging out init just for like General Recreation and thetoilet works way better than I was expectingafter every time Neko uses it it goes througha rotation cycle which filters out the defiledcat litter dumping it in the basement leavingjust clean cat litter at the top for Neelto interact with and it does all of that withno interaction on your part the only timeyou need to do anything is either add morecat litter or empty out the poop dungeon onceit gets full which the bag makes really easyto do although I am still looking for offthe-shelf bags that'll fit in the tray andI do wish they had compostable options becauseas it stands it is quite plastic heavy butat the end of the day I accepted it becauseI thought would be funny but I actually likethis toilet way more than I was expectingalthough there are a couple of issues withit the plastic bag one like I mentioned beforeI don't like that you have to use an app withit even if it does let you track your cat'sbowel movements for some reason although itis nice that it tells you when the poop dungeonis full and when to change it out and anotherissue is that because it's got a bunch ofmoving Parts it's never going to be as reliableas just a bin on the ground and then there'sthe whole thing of it costing quite a bitof money I think it's worth what it costsbut it's still a bunch of money to spend onjust a thing your cat in however it is likehaving a poop Butler which is pretty coolwhich brings me to the end of me massivelyviolating my cat's privacy so um yeah if youenjoyed it subscribe to the channel and untilthe next videobye-bye
