Reviews from other Customers:
I bought one and then another a few months later. They are easy to assemble and clean. The “pot” finish is authentic looking but the plant and wiry moss are not at all lifelike and tedious to arrange the first time. But my cats (2)(ages 8 and 9) love them, especially the privacy. I have them on small washable area rugs, one on each floor. I had previously bought one of the covered litter boxes you tilt to clean, but it was ugly and did not work well for me as it was smallish and I like to give my cats a deeper bed of clumping litter than was practical for that model.
I own one and must say it looks surprisingly good for a thin plastic pot with a fake plant. The pot is realistic as long as you do not stoop to examine. The plant is not bad either and you can always use your own plant. It was difficult to arrange the leaves and the stem had to be “un bent”, but with a little effort it does not look bad at all.

The pot makes a large litter pan which I really like. I put mine in a corner with the opening towards the wall and as long as you keep it cleaned out people do not seem to notice.

I bought this when the only alternatives where $500+ wood furniture that looked nicer than my bedroom set. So I ordered a second one for the upstairs hallway. This is the problem, it has been on order for several months now. I cannot believe they are still selling this when it is back-ordered for so long. So I recommend this, but I would buy it from the manufacturer unless you have time to wait.

Omega Paw Self-Cleaning Litter Box


Easily keep the cat-litter box clean with this roll-away litter box. The unit quickly self-cleans, while controlling dust and containing odors. Simply roll the litter box to the right until the top touches the floor, and then roll it back to the upright position. The unit’s internal mechanism deposits the clumped waste into the pullout waste tray for easy disposal. The system works only with clumping litter, and the waste tray separates clumped waste from clean litter, so clean litter is never thrown away. The litter box makes it easy to provide the cat not only with a clean litter box, but also with privacy due to the covered pan design. The litter box also helps save money–no more scoops, liners, or filters to buy. With a silver top and blue base, the litter box measures16-1/2 by 19 by 16 inches with a 7-by-7-1/2-inch opening.

Reviews from Purchasers:

I would describe this cat box with words like- LOVE_LOVE- FUN- easy, ETC ETC….
When I bought the first one, I saved the receipt. I thought for $30 I am taking it back if it doesnt work like a dream. I also gave it to my mom as XMAS gift, so I wanted to make her test it out. When we first got Ragdolls cats for each other as XMAS gifts, we agreed on loving the cats but hating the cat box.
We even tried the automatic cleaning ones and took them back.
This cat box would be worth $100 in my opinion. I cant believe how easy it is to use, less then 10 seconds to cleans the litter box, no removing the lid. Throw away the scoops as you will never need it once you own this cat box. No smell, no bags, no mess. Even for someone with a bad back it would only require bending over. You roll it upside down, and the cleaning is done.
You slide out the drawer and the solied litter is ready to goto the trash can. The only thing I could think people may need to adjust themselves to is using minimal amount of litter. Just fill the main section with 3-4 inches of litter. Dont try to even it out to fill up the right side of the box.
Since I have gotten one for my mom, I purchased one. 4 other people I have demonstrated my cat box too, have also purchased one and they say they love it!!!
Go get one today!!

ScoopFree LB2 Ultra Litter Box


This self-cleaning box is meant to be used with Fresh Step crystal litter. It has a seperate sealed container that the waste is deposited into to reduce odor and make clean-up a breeze. One unique feature of this litter box is that you can choose the amount of minutes between kitty potty time and the automatic box raking. It even has a counter that keeps track of how often your cat goes!

Pros:

  • Counter is great for cats with urinary/digestive issues, you can give an accurate report to your vet
  • Comes with a hood for your cat’s privacy and to minimize smell
  • Quieter operation than most automatic litter boxes
  • Designed to be changed only once or twice a month

Cons:

  • The litter that must be used is non-clumping which can be messy wifor cats with soft stool
  • The disposable cartridge system can get very expensive (there is a non-disposable option as well)
  • Most users say they have to tend to the box much more often than advertised

More Real User Feedback

The ScoopFree was my first electronic litterbox. With the SF, I didn’t have to scoop pee clumps anymore so I was scooping maybe twice a day removing the poop clumps. I could and did forget about the litter box — didn’t find myself checking it or worrying about it any longer. It is very simple to maintain. There was very little litter tracked out of the box so a lot less floor cleaning, too. And, the crystals dried out the poop so much that the odor control was also fairly good — not perfect but a lot better!

The cartridges will not last 30 days; we change after 2 weeks. Still no odor, no mess, no tiny bits of poo in the FS. Zip, nada. Trouble free, with the exception of dumping the litter every 2 weeks, and everything in it is as dessicated as a mummy on the Nile, so no problem.

I just think it is such a fantastic litterbox! So maintenance free! I have a maid who once a week will scoop the doodie bin out for me, otherwise it just works it’s magic and I never even touch it.

This model is your more “traditional” raking system for a self-cleaning litterbox.

Pros:

  • The rake moves over the litter immediately after your kitty does their business so stinky surprises aren’t hanging around.

Cons:

  • Self-cleaning mechanism is quite noisy
  • Some users report that this litter box is low quality and breaks easily

CatGenie - Self Washing, Self Flushing Cat Box


The CatGenie is the closest thing to a flush toilet that your kitty is ever going to get. It actually plugs in and hooks up to a water line for a complete kitty sanitation system! It comes with its own plastic granules so you never have to buy litter again BUT if you need to replace any you only have one choice on who to buy them from.
Pros:

  • Users report close to zero incidences of malfunction, this is an extremely high quality piece of equipment
  • Washes itself
  • No more buying litter which could actually make the total cost of ownership of this expensive machine lower than a traditional litter box

Cons:

  • Cats might have a long adjustment period
  • Requires hookup to electricity and running water
  • Pellets tend to scatter

More Real User Feedback

I bought a CatGenie last week. It came yesterday, and I couldn’t believe how *EASY* it was to install. Took me more time to take it out of the packaging. I can see a little bowl warp (shipping?), but it still seems to work. I was amazed at how easy it was. I mean, I had it assembled, before I even opened the manual.

The Cat Genie has worked admirably for about 10 days, amazing me, the cat (and dogs), my family, and our guests. I’ve resisted the urge to drag unsuspecting strangers in off the street. I am thrilled to say this thing does everything I’d hoped. I researched every automatic litter box on the market and when I encountered CG, my first reaction was it was so ingenious I was jealous I didn’t invent it. I still am.

It’s been about three months and my admiration and appreciation for the CG has only grown. I’m on my second cartridge and have had to top off the litter once. Yes, there were some gross splatters the time we messed with Abby’s diet, and there’ve been some stubborn cling-ons on the scoop and chute, but nothing that some spot cleaning with a sponge or paper towel couldn’t handle. Basically, the CG does what I was told it would everyday without fail. Oh that all the gadgets in my life were so true to their promise!

I went out of town for almost 2 weeks and had a friend come every day to play with my two cats and check on things. I replaced the cartridge right before I left so they wouldn’t have to deal with the beeping. I ran the box on automatic 3 times a day and it worked great. The only thing my friend had to do for the cat genie was clean up some scattered pellets!

Litter Robot LRII Automatic Self-Cleaning Litter Box


This thing looks like it belongs more on the Jetsons, less in your bathroom but is the absolute top of the line best when it comes to never having to scoop your litterbox again. Yes this contraption costs three hundred bucks but cmon can you really put a price on not having to deal with cat poop?

Pros:

  • Empties litter into drawer with the push of a button
  • Can be put on a timer so that it works at night while you sleep
  • Uses much less litter than a normal box which helps to offset the high cost

Cons:

  • Perforated holes allow stinky smells to escape
  • Machine is large

More Real User Feedback

The construction of the LR (LitterRobot) is very nice. The motor that is used is pretty durable, and if it does go and you are handy at all it wouldnt be hard to replace.

We’ve had our Litter Robot for over six months now and it still works like the day it arrived. Beau and Sunny (males) both appreciate it’s cleanliness and right-on-schedule cycle 7 minutes after they go.

I have had mine for 2 years and 4 months. I have 4 cats, 2 of which are quite large, about 18 pounds. After about a year, the control unit failed and it was fixed under warranty. It took about 2 weeks for it to be returned and I tell you, we really missed it! There have been no problems since.

It is double or triple the price of competitors and worth every penny.

When you can leave it for 2 weeks without touching it, and it is always clean.. it is worth it.

My impression of the bot seems like it’s well made, and definitely works as advertised. Even though it’s only been a week, I have never even caught so much as a whiff of any cat urine or feces (the unit is currently in the living room but will be moved onto the screen porch when the cat door arrives). I refuse to have that “cat” smell in the house, and so far so good. The cat is nice enough to dig a hole, do her business and then cover it up–so I consider myself lucky.
