Neakasa M1 Litter Robot Mat Replacement: Safety Update & Free Upgrade
If you own or are considering the Neakasa M1 self-cleaning cat litter box, this is a crucial safety update. I’ll guide you through replacing the silicone mat and explain how I got the updated mat for free.
Why I Got the Updated Mat for Free
I discovered that my existing mat was starting to peel off its stickers and allowing water to seep underneath during cleaning. Upon contacting Neakasa, they offered me a free replacement with an improved version to address these issues.
Removing the Old Silicone Mat
To remove the old mat:
- Unplug the litter box from the power source.
- Remove the waste drawer and clean it thoroughly.
- Slide out the silicone mat by pulling gently on both ends.
Installing the New Updated Mat
To install the new mat:
- Ensure your hands are dry before handling the new mat.
- Align the mat with the litter box’s grooves and slide it in gently until it clicks into place.
- Reassemble the waste drawer and plug the litter box back in.
My Thoughts on the Upgrade
The new mat has proven to be more durable and better at preventing water from seeping underneath. However, it’s slightly smaller than the previous version, which might require some adjustment in litter placement. Overall, I’m pleased with the free upgrade.
If you have a Neakasa M1, replacing your silicone mat is an essential maintenance task to keep your litter box clean and functioning smoothly.
