RobotShop and AutoPets Announce Distribution Exclusivity for Litter-Robot Products in Europe

RobotShop.com, the world's leading robot store for all your robotic needs, announces today that it has partnered with Automated Pet Care Products, Inc., DBA AutoPets. AutoPets is the maker of Litter-Robot, the automatic self-cleaning litter box.  RobotShop is now the exclusive distributor of the Litter-Robot for the European Union.

Since 2006, RobotShop has been selling the popular Litter-Robot II, and will now offer the Litter-Robot III Open Air, released Summer 2015. It has proven to be an incomparable product that has helped customers care for their cats across thousands of homes worldwide.

"RobotShop has demonstrated a strong commitment to the Litter-Robot brand." states Brad Baxter, Founder and President of AutoPets. "We are looking forward to growing the European market with them."

All AutoPets' resellers of the Litter-Robot in Europe will process their orders through RobotShop. Located in France, RobotShop will be able to provide Litter-Robot resellers and customers across Europe with centralized access to Litter-Robot products, logistics, and customer support. RobotShop's technical center will support all service requests during and after the manufacturer's warranty.

Reseller partners will benefit from the optimized pricing through RobotShop's dealer program. Resellers will have the option to stock product at their facilities or drop-ship through RobotShop.

The Litter-Robot Open Air is an automatic, self-cleaning litter box.  Its unique design senses when a cat is inside and when it's time to clean up. Once the cat exits, a cleaning cycle will begin automatically.  The patented sifting process separates the clumps from the clean litter and deposits them into a carbon-filtered drawer below, reducing unpleasant odors and leaving a clean bed of litter every time.

"I have been a proud owner of a Litter-Robot self-cleaning litter box for more than 6 years and would never think of going back to a standard litter box," says Julie Gendron, VP Consumer Robots Division at RobotShop. "We are excited to continue our growing partnership with AutoPets and expand the network of Litter-Robot resellers in Europe."

For more information concerning this partnership, see the official press release.

This is DIY pocket pack solder. To portable and lightweight with the division lead to shorter. Normally we always to buy big lead because worthy than small. My son buy new solder; DIA: 0.8mm 1LB TIN/LEAD 60/40. But He does not like it because too much heavy and difficult to use with As Figure 1. He saw the pocket pack solder is in here: Thus, there is an idea to adapt something near us to reused without buy more. We have these markers a lot as Figure 2 We take pen nibs out, then put the lead instead. Figure 3 Use pliers to pull the pen tip out. Figure 4 Use pliers to pull the pen nibs out Figure 5
