Whisker Launches Litter-Robot 5 Line With AI Cameras, WasteID and New Whisker+ Plan

Facial recognition plus advanced health insights require the new Whisker+ subscription.

Overview

  • The three-model lineup—Evo ($599), Litter-Robot 5 ($799) and 5 Pro ($899)—is available for preorder at Whisker.com, with shipments beginning November 3.
  • The 5 Pro adds dual 1080p, night‑vision cameras for cat facial recognition and interior monitoring, aimed at accurate multi‑cat tracking.
  • Whisker’s $29 PetTag uses RFID to help the 5 Pro identify pets and includes a scannable QR for lost‑pet info.
  • WasteID distinguishes urine from feces to adjust cycle timing for odor control, while the 5 series introduces a full‑color LCD, a larger waste drawer and improved filtration.
  • Whisker+ costs $7.99 per month or about $79–$80 per year, is required for certain Pro features like AI facial recognition, and expands retention from a default 7 days of data and 5 minutes of video per day to two years of data with unlimited video; launch bundles offer up to $150 off for a limited time.
