"It can do as it is advertised. However if you have a digger this thing is horrid. My cats love to dig and they scatter litter everywhere with this. it does not make anything easier. I have to constantly disassemble the entire thing to get all the litter that the cats scatter out so it works. As for cleaning it does ok. Littermaid's do better. And it does smell. I had to change back to a litter that clumps better for this but it smells more than the pine that my cats love. So overall not worth it and I got it on sale. If I could return it I would."

Messy and Stinky, November 7, 2009
by jdbuggy from Cincinnat, OH

"The quality of parts seemed acceptable. There were no defects in the manufacture of the product. Assembly was very simple.

The unit has three sensors that will prevent it from operating. If the unit is not level, it will not operate. If the waste pan is not completely in place, it will not operate. If the cover is not on the waste extraction arm, it will not operate. There is a green LED that indicates that it is operating, which makes it easier to keep track of. All of these sensors are very well thought out.

Pros: It is quiet most of the time. The cat was not scared to use it. It can use old grocery bags for the waste disposal.

Cons: There is absolutely NO odor control. It is actually worse than a normal litter box as it is constantly stirring up litter. The bathroom that it is in smells awful. We have only had it a week, so the litter should not be that dirty yet.
It is messy. This thing scatters litter EVERYWHERE, not just the normal that sticks to the cat's feet. The sides are too low, and so the cat kicks litter out when she tries to cover her waste. At the other end, the sweeper part causes some mounding of the litter and it falls over the edge. I spend more time sweeping up the floor and mats than I ever would have cleaning a normal litter box. I have had some trouble trying to get a rug under it, as it needs to be very level to operate.
It takes a lot of space. The round pan is big enough as it is, but the cleaner assembly covers almost half of the pan area, making it small for a large cat."

Good idea, but, October 12, 2009
by CatsLoveIt from Powder Springs, GA

"I have three cats. I have a spare bathroom, so my litter box is in the tub. I kept the old litter box and put this on the floor near to tub. They pass by this box and still go to the old litter box. It makes a strange noise about every 5 minutes, so I unplugged it, and the cats use it until I plugged it in again. I am afraid to remove the old litter box, so hopefully they will get use to the vibration and use this one more. It is better than the other electric boxes, but it needs to be a bigger area for the cats to use and my cats are only about 11 lbs."

Best Litter Box, October 9, 2009
by Melly1 from Houston, Tx

Pros: no more scooping manufacturer backs up product

"This is a great litter box. I purchased 2 of them because it reccommends that one was good for up to 2 cats and I have 4. This uses grocery store bags and you can go several days before having to empty the bags. Large clumps have a problem sometimes, but overall this is wonderful. We first purchased these because we would leave town for several days at a time and could depend on these to work while we were gone. My brother even purchased one after seeing ours. We did have a problem with the plastic gears, but called the company and they said they had upgraded their gear system and would send us a new gear upon proof of receipt. We faxed over the receipt and the gear was replaced on both. I am very pleased with these."

Good but not great, July 24, 2009
by Whatthe from Suburban Philadelphia, PA

Pros: very quiet cat friendly
Cons: sill leaves small clumps behind

"We introduced this product to our 3-month old kitten and he took to it right away (the product makes very little noise) and moves very slowly so I'm sure he doesn't realize it moves. The product does remove the larger clumps and deposits them to the built-in waste receptacle but can't handle the smaller clumps which fall through the conveyer and instead get regularly raked. We still need to manually remove these small clumps daily.
The product states that you need to use a premium clumping litter (we're using Fresh Step clumping litter right now) so maybe we just need to use another litter. Does anybody who has this product have any sugggested litter brands that work really well with this product?"

Works well but not without issues, July 22, 2009
by pricemc1 from Gaithersburg, MD

Pros: nice design, not loud or noisy, basically works as advertised, 2 year warranty, uses standard grocery store bags for storage
Cons: large clumps can stop the conveyor, requires high quality litter, needs to be emptied frequently

"I purchased this litter box because it got great reviews and was very cost effective compared to the other well reviewed automatic litter boxes. I have had it for about a week now. Overall it works pretty decent. I had no problems assembling it or getting my 2 kittens to use it. When you first see it, it seems like its kind of small compared to a standard litter box but that doesnt seem to bother my cats. It is very quiet. I never hear it. It also constantly rotates but its so slow you and your cat will never notice. The continual rotation causes it to keep the litter in a nicely raked pattern. I really like that you just use standard grocery store platstic bags to catch the dumpings.

While the litterbox works well I have noticed 2 issues. First, small half-inch clumps of litter do tend to stay in the box and the conveyor cannot seem to remove them. The manual says to use better quality litter to avoid this issue. I will try that in the future. I also noticed that larger clumps can sometime be a bit to big for the conveyor cover. The conveyor has a large plastic cover and the device will not operate without this cover firmly in place. On occasion a large ball of clumped litter will start up the conveyor and when it gets near the top it will lift the cover up a little. This causes the conveyor to stop and you have to manually clear the oversize clump. This could be easily remedied by a slightly taller cover but so far it hasnt been a regular issue for me. If you notice the box is not being raked be sure to check under the cover for a clump that is lifting the cover. The green power light will go off if the cover it not properly seated. The only other issue I have with this box is that the dumpster fills up pretty quick. While it is very easy to empty you definately need to change the the bag every couple of days or so (at least with 2 cats).

Overall, I recommend this box."

Works GREAT!!!, July 9, 2009
by GoMetricToday from Erwin, TN

Pros: automatic clean, no smell, my cat loves it.
Cons: no on/off timer, doesn't need to stay on all the time.

"I have had the litter box for 2 days now and my cat took to it right away. She likes having a nice fresh clean box to deposits her presents in. I love that I don't have scoop the litter box again. I just pull the bag out of the receptacle and throw it away. No mess, no smell. LOVE IT!!!"

Wonderful Product!, April 2, 2009
by Dreamcicle from Bulverde, TX

Pros: easy to use and clean, no special supplies to buy
Cons: kitty litter does come out onto the floor

"This system works great. My 9 lb cat fits nicely. It took less than a week for her to learn to use it but I kept the old one set up for a week. We have 2 cats but one goes outside most of the time. We recently went away for three days and it was great to just change the bags! With it always clean, my cat covers all the time so no odor and I love recycling free grocery bags! My cat does fling some kitty litter onto the floor but I made a "shield" around the bowl out of a large paper shopping bag that helps keep it contained."
