Whisker Debuts Litter-Robot 5 Line With AI Cameras, WasteID and New $7.99 Subscription

Whisker ties health insights to a $7.99-per-month service to push an ecosystem model.

Overview

  • Preorders opened today for three models priced at $599 (Evo), $799 (5) and $899 (5 Pro), with shipping set for November 3.
  • The 5 Pro adds two 1080p night‑vision cameras with facial recognition to identify individual cats, with video viewing and saving available through Whisker+.
  • New WasteID tech distinguishes urine from solid waste to adjust cycling and odor control, with long‑term behavior and weight trends unlocked by Whisker+ at $7.99 per month or about $79–80 per year.
  • All models include a larger redesigned waste drawer and a full‑color LCD display; the 5 and 5 Pro support up to five cats, while the Evo targets one‑to‑two‑cat homes in smaller spaces.
  • The $29 PetTag uses RFID to aid identification on the 5 Pro and offers a QR digital ID for lost‑pet recovery, as launch bundles include discounts up to $150 on new units and on the Litter‑Robot 4.
