PETKIT PuraMax 2 Review (2027)
In-depth research review of the PETKIT PuraMax 2: 76L cylinder, leakproof redesign, low entry, N50 odor control, and multi-sensor safety.
PETKIT PuraMax 2
The second-generation PuraMax: 76L cylinder, leakproof design, low entry, and N50 odor control with app management.
Our verdict
The PuraMax 2 is a focused revision of a strong original: the 76L cylinder, 11-sensor class safety system, and N50 odor control carry over, while a leakproof cylinder and anti-scratch liner attack the first generation's most reported weaknesses. A lower entry widens its cat appeal. It stays premium and app-dependent, but as a multi-cat odor-control machine it is the most complete PETKIT yet.
What we like
- 76L extra-large cylinder suits multi-cat homes
- Upgraded leakproof cylinder and anti-scratch inner mat address the first generation's weak points
- xSecure multi-sensor safety system with app control and usage tracking
- N50 odor eliminator with a sealed waste compartment, plus a low entry for older cats
What to watch out for
- Premium pricing
- App and WiFi setup required for the full feature set
- Enclosed design still deters some cats

Who it is for
Multi-cat households and odor-sensitive homes that want PETKIT's ecosystem with the leak fixes applied.
What the second generation fixes
Leakage at the cylinder seam and liner scratching were the original PuraMax's known issues. The PuraMax 2 answers with a redesigned leakproof cylinder and an anti-scratch inner mat, keeping the sealed waste compartment and N50 odor eliminator that made the first model an odor-control leader.
Capacity and access
The 76L cylinder remains one of the largest in the category, serving multi-cat homes with up to about 15 days of waste capacity for a single cat. The low-entry design lowers the step-in height, which matters for kittens, seniors, and short-legged cats that balk at tall thresholds.
App and safety systems
The xSecure multi-sensor system monitors cat presence before and during cycles, and the PETKIT app tracks visits and weight trends across cats, with one-click litter emptying at change time. The trade is dependence on 2.4 GHz WiFi and the app for full value.
