The machines I highlight in this video all have the same potentially lethal design. Recent firmware makes the sensors work correctly now, but the design is s...
This should not need specific mention. But it’s good that these warning exists, anyways. But it’s also kinda obvious, you’re ordering from Aliexpress/Temu. It’s like those shitty china cat fountains that run the 220V line into the water basin and convert the power there. Because hey, why only fry your pet a little…
Most people are used to devices being at least somewhat safe. They don’t expect devices they buy from a large online retailer to be that bad. A flaw here and there, sure, but basically a 100% chance of death? Yeah, that’s not exactly to expect.
The problem is this automatic litter box was bought from Amazon, which was being resold from Aliexpress. People have some level of trust in Amazon. Misplaced trust I would say, as it becomes littered with sketchy 3rd party sellers who have no responsibility to their customers.
There’s a lot of things wrong with Amazon of course, but this switch to Chinese shadow companies and their garbage products is really problematic. They create a new “brand”, set up a new product they bought from some manufacturer in China, add a fuckton of fake reviews to boost themselves onto the front and when they sold everything they vanish, along with the product page and any possibility to share negative reviews from the lack of quality or other issues. It’s literally a scam and needs to change.
My cat fountain uses a USB cable, so hopefully it’s only like 5v when it leaves the brick/adapter.
The water fountain is a game changer, my male cat absolutely loves it. He washes his paws in bowls and doesn’t drink much, but with the fountain he drinks a ton of water.
I mean… yeah.

Huh, I never really put much thought into that
