Ease of Cleaning
Made of ABS material, the Petkit Pura X can be cleaned only once a week. Using Petkit flushable cat litter is recommended to make the cat poo clump together. The ChillX AutoEgg Litter Box starts its cycle 5 minutes after your cat uses it. It also runs its auto-cycle every 3:00 and 9:00 am and 3:00 and 9:00 pm which we can take as an advantage as this helps in thorough cleaning of the clumped waste. The drawback of this litter box is that it does not do its job of cleaning really well as you will still see small pieces of litter clumps on the litter bed, and it can also leave quite a mess on the sides along the track of the rake. It is therefore best to still clean up after this and throw away the filled-up drawer once a week, at best.
Smart Features
ChillX AutoEgg Litter Box

- OLED Display
- Petkit Pura X has anti-bacterial odor removal which also kills 99% of harmful bacteria.
- Petkit Pura X has xSecure system which includes a thermal sensor, infrared sensor, weight sensor, anti-pinch infrared sensors, smart detection, remote alerts, accident protection system.
The ChillX AutoEgg offers a health tracking feature that shows how many times your cat has used the litter box, the amount of waste products in the waste container, your cat’s weight, etc. The downside to this feature is its inconvenient location; it is located inside the litter box so you will have to remove the top cover for you to be able to check the display screen.

For Pekitpura X, for some cats, the ramp is too high. The common negative comments received are the lack of customer support especially in the US. I think the reason is that both of them were manufactured overseas. Though in my experience, I was able to reach both of their customer support team when I needed assistance. There’s also a review that the customer support sent him a brand new replacement. For ChillX, The ChillX AutoEgg clearly has its good points such as easy to empty plastic bag, minimalist design, good warranty, and tech support. However, reviews from legitimate customers on Amazon and Reddit say otherwise such as the rake spreads the litter around the bed, not clumping well together. touchscreen does not consistently work and so on.
Conclusion
Overall, both are great and popular for feline parents. If choosing only one, Pekitpura X wins. Working OLED screen and it removes more unpleasant odor than the ChillX. It is quiet when in use. With the sensors and auto-cycles, it’s easy to schedule the cleanup. ChillX is still good and it’s a cheaper option if you don’t need all these fancy things. Check the current price for ChillX here.
