If you are exploring the higher end of the automatic self-cleaning litter box market, you have almost certainly come across the Casa Leo Leo's Loo Too and the PETKIT PuraMax 2. Both of these machines promise to free you from the chore of daily scooping, but they take very different approaches to design, app tracking, and odor control.
In this comparison, we break down how the modern aesthetics of the Leo's Loo Too stack up against the spacious and smart capabilities of the PuraMax 2.
Design and Footprint
The Casa Leo Leo's Loo Too is famous for being arguably the most attractive automatic litter box on the market. With its rounded, pastel-colored exterior, it looks more like a smart home appliance than a place for your cat to do their business. At a compact footprint, it fits perfectly in smaller homes or apartments where the litter box must be placed in a visible area.
The PETKIT PuraMax 2, on the other hand, prioritizes an airy, low-to-the-ground, square design. While it is still sleek and white, it takes up a bit more horizontal space. However, this extra space translates directly to a much lower entry height. At just a few inches off the floor, the PuraMax 2 is significantly easier for senior cats, kittens, or cats with arthritis to enter compared to the raised drum of the Leo's Loo Too.
Odor Control Capabilities
Both models excel in odor control but utilize different technologies to achieve it.
The Leo's Loo Too uses a tightly sealed waste drawer combined with Bamboo Charcoal filters and a UV light system. Once the waste drops into the drawer, it remains isolated, and the UV light kicks in to destroy bacteria, significantly cutting down on standard litter box smells.
PETKIT takes a more active approach with the PuraMax 2. It features an automated built-in deodorizing spray system. Every time the completely sealed waste bin rotates and dumps the waste, the PuraMax 2 sprays a burst of odor-eliminating fluid. The waste drawer is remarkably large, and combining it with the spray means you can go weeks without smelling anything.

Smart Features and App Connectivity
When it comes to tracking your cat's health, both companions come with dedicated mobile apps.
The Casa Leo app is incredibly intuitive. It tracks weight, usage frequency, and allows you to adjust the cleaning cycles and UV sterilization manually. It is compatible with Alexa and Google Assistant, allowing you to ask your smart speaker for litter box updates.
The PETKIT app takes data tracking to an almost clinical level. Paired with the PuraMax 2, the app not only tracks weight and time, but provides deep behavioral insights and alerts if your cat is visiting the box too frequently (a potential sign of urinary issues). If you have multiple cats, the PETKIT app tends to handle weight-based identification slightly better.
The Verdict
If your primary concern is aesthetics and you have healthy, agile adult cats, the Casa Leo Leo's Loo Too is an outstanding choice that won't disrupt your home decor.
However, if you have senior cats, multiple cats, or need maximum odor control to last for long periods of time, the PETKIT PuraMax 2 is the superior machine thanks to its low entry height and active spray deodorizer.
