Precision Engineering
WasteID Cycle Timing
Detects urine vs feces so the globe waits for clumps and cycles solids sooner. Odor logic, not a camera.
Larger Drawer, Same Seal
Carbon-filtered drawer Whisker rates ~10 days for one cat. Same 22 × 27 in footprint as the 4.
LCD + 3–30 lb / 5 Cats
Color screen, more headroom (17.5 in), carpet-ready without an add-on tray. 5 Pro cameras are a different SKU.

The Scoreboard
Editorial seed — Litter-Robot 5 is Whisker's current flagship (WasteID, 5-cat / 30 lb). No verified in-stock US ASIN pinned; Amazon URL is a search link.
