Do any of the automatic litter boxes eliminate the dust? I have a smaller 3 bedroom house. My wife is going to convert one of the bedrooms into an office/craft room. This is the bedroom that the litter box is currently in. I would like to use the other bedroom for the occasional guest visit, but need to move the litter box in there.

Open to any suggestions or experiences that you want to share.

My mom had her cat in her assisted living apartment.  The staff charged big money if they were tasked with maintaining the litter and feeding.

We got this automatic litter box which I serviced once a week when I visited.  Service meant emptying the turds out of the box that the automatic rake would sift out.  Urine was absorbed in the media.  I found that the media refills needed to be changed about every two weeks.  The refills are pretty expensive.

When mom died, we just dumpstered the box.  Now that I have kitties, I wish I'd kept it and at least tried using it with normal clumping litter.

Also looking into this.  Are they worth it?  Was thinking about a week away from home and whether this would be worth it.

I have a Litter Robot 4.  It was expensive as hell. But it does a good job at separating the clumps and turds. I had the LR3 previously, but it died.
I use Fresh Step "Clean Paws" clumping litter; it seems to be the least dusty I've found.

This. Litter Robot 4 here.

Litter Robot 5 is out now. But the 4 is great and I highly recommend it.

I also had the Cat Genie. Do not recommend that one. It was awful.

LR4 or 5 is what you want OP.

We use Dr Elsey's litter. It's marketed as being something like 99.9% dust free and it's generally pretty good.
