Gavler Meta-Score
“The open-air default. Cats see sky; you pull-and-wrap a bag. Odor loses to a sealed Litter-Robot drawer. Buy it for acceptance, not for a studio apartment.”

Open-Top Drum
No tunnel. The reason shy and large cats actually step in. 13.86 in entry; 2.2–33 lb.
Pull & Wrap 11.23 L Bin
Yank the bag; it seals. Contactless empty, up to ~14 days on one cat.
IR + Weight Pause
Drum stops if a cat returns. Open-top also means the globe never fully cages the cat.

The Scoreboard
Editorial seed — Neakasa M1 is the open-top / cat-acceptance pick (neakasa.com $399.99). No invented ASIN; Amazon URL is a search link because US /dp SKUs are Lite variants.
