Limits of this list

What is still unknown

This is the band where manufacturers publish least. Several of these products state no litter compatibility, no entry height and no kitten restriction. That is a documentation finding, not a verdict on the hardware — but it does mean you will be buying with fewer answers than the price bands above.
