Litter Robot September 6, 2008 This product saved our cats life-literally. My husband bought it as a last resort for our cat that peed elsewhere when her litter had one peice of poop in it. The company was great when the computer board on the front got wet. They replaced it with instructions at no charge. Now we just tape a piece of saran wrop over it in case of accidents. The two cats in our house use it with no problems. It is easy to keep clean and now I would not have a cat without one. It was well worth the money.
Litter-Robot ROCKS! September 6, 2008 We have 5 adult cats and were getting totally fed up with the mess and the smell using littermaid automatic litterboxes. The thing would jam or overflow and it always smelled. About once a year, we would have to replace it - $100 per year. We also seemed to waste a lot of litter, because the littermaid didn't sift the litter - it sometimes just dumped a whole bunch of clean litter in with the dirty.
I read all the reviews here and on other sites and bit the bullet and bought a refurbished Litter-Robot on the company web site for $269. 60 day money-back guarantee.
We've had it for 2 weeks and LOVE it!
-- NO SMELL -- even standing right next to the unit -- USE LESS LITTER -- because of the sifting mechanism, the "hopper" has clumped waste lightly covered in litter - no clean litter clogging up the waste pan or going to waste.
The thing requires virtually no set up - it comes in one giant box and you put the upper unit on the lower unit and plug it in. Our refurbished one didn't look at all used. Litter Robot LRII Automatic Self-Cleaning Litter Box, Beige
We had zero problem introducing our 5 cats to it. They range from 1 to 5 years of age and are all former rescue-kittens. 2 of them are a little high-strung, so I thought we'd have to work at getting them comfortable, but no.
My kitties love catnip, so as soon as I set the thing up, I sprinkled nip on the step and inside the unit. I put one piece of waste from the old box inside. They were definitely weireded out at first - especially the first time it cycled, but now they are pros. One of them likes to hang around while it cycles and tap the step so that it stops moving - just for fun, apparently.
The price seems ridiculous at first, but I am so happy I took the plunge. No mess, no smell, less litter used. Awesome!
It's Worth it! September 4, 2008 This little gizmo is worth the money. I had a little problem when i first started it up, but that was because i was used to filling the littermaid box and wasn't putting enough litter in it. I wish the instruction sheet had mentioned something about that. I found the reason reading blogs and reviews about it. Cats (I've 2) took to it right away, in a couple days they stopped using the littermaid entirely. One cat refused the littermaid as soon as the litter robot had litter in it. the other helped me assemble the litterRobot but it took her several days to figure out she should put her head out the door not her tail-end.
Litter Robot is the BOMB! Wife, Cats, and I LOVE it!!!!! September 4, 2008 I was really getting fed up with our cats... I wouldn't even have cats if it wasn't for an ex-girlfriend who left me with one and my wife who brought hers into the family. At any rate, I still love the cats and especially my wife so I was at my wits end about what to do about their filthy litter box in which the smells and the cleanup was driving me absolutely f_ck*n crazy.
Anyways, this litter box is the B O M B! Since we've had it, I haven't smelled a foul odor in the house once. It really REALLY REALLY works! (unlike those flat rake kind that get crudded up after only a little while)
It probably saved my cats from having to find new homes (not really, but I was really frustrated with them, you have no idea, or maybe you do, in which case you need this).
The cats are happy too. They always use the box now - no going outside the box like before. They are nicer and friendlier, even!
Worth every penny. Don't even waste your time or money on anything else!
Love it! Will never go without one again! September 2, 2008 I love this litter box! I have two older kittens who were deathly aftaid of this litter box at first but within 3 days and some treats were using it without any issues. I would reccommend this litter box to anyone who has multiple cats and/or just hates scooping. I wasn't sure if the sensor was working properly and called the customer service number and they were wonderful and helped with ideas to get the kittens used to the box. As long as I have cats, I will have this litter box!
