- It took a little time for my two cats to get used to it, but now that they have I couldn't be happier with it. Not being a slave to scooping litter every night has been wonderful.
- I got this product a few months ago and have waited to review it until I had time to try it out for a bit. I was so satisfied with the litter robot that I ended up ordering a second one about a month after the first.
I have seven cats that are all indoor cats. It took some work to get most of them used to the litter robot. I ended up having to leave out the old litter box for a while and in another room, then moved it into the same room, and then at that point - those that still weren't using it I closed in the room (decent sized room) with the litter robot and just watched the catch under the robot to see when they used it. Once one used it they were free to go. I did have 3-4 times that we had a cat go outside the litter boxes but that was when I tried just putting the litter robot in the house and no other litter box (before the steps above).
It makes taking care of litter a lot easier than having to scoop. The cat uses the robot by climbing in and triggering a pressure switch on the bottom of the unit (which if placed on an unlevel or non-smooth floor can have problems being triggered by the cat but isn't hard to fix), the cat does it's duty and 7 minutes later (provided no other cats also trigger the pressure switch) the robot turns and dumps the clumped litter into a container in the bottom of the unit and turns back with the clean litter ready to use. You do have to be careful in that if the container in the bottom gets over-filled then used litter will start to smear on the outside of the unit as it turns; just keeping an eye on when it needs to be changed will solve this problem.
The manufacture does make biodegradable bags for the unit which fit perfectly but I did find out that with a decent sized litter bag or a 13 gallon garbage bag I could get it to work as long as I don't let it get too full. The garbage bag is nice because then I just lift it out, close the bag up, and throw in the garbage. The manufacture bags are heavy duty and tougher then a normal garbage bag and can also be closed and tossed.
I've had a couple of times that I would find the lights flashing on the robot but I found if I turn it off and back on (or unplug and plug back in) then the unit will continue with a cycle of emptying dirty litter and go back ready to use.
Decide you want to change out the litter completely? No problem, just press the "empty" button and it empties all the litter out of the unit into the chamber below. The "fill" button turns it so the holes that it dumps the litter out of will turn upwards, then on the back of the unit there is a sliding movable button - move it to lock the 'doors' open and pour in new litter. There is also a "cycle" button you can use so you don't wait the 7 minutes (but giving the 7 minutes if you can will help the waste solidify and empty easier).
Still nervous about the unit? Check for a trial period (I believe Amazon is 30 days)and if it doesn't work for you or your cats then send it back. Personally I got this unit because I have a couple of large cats (one is 18 lbs and not overweight, just large) and it has the window bubble on the back. I also suggest getting the 'lip' attachment if your unit doesn't come with it. It helps catch any litter that gets thrown around (or in the case of one of my cats, liquid waste since he doesn't turn completely into the litter robot) and is inclined back towards the inside of the robot. I do recommend having a litter mat in front of the robot though (as with any litterbox) to catch whatever litter granules your cat brings out with him/her.
I tried a few other litter boxes before trying this one and this is the best I've found. I've been very happy with my litter robot's. They contain any smell very well of the dumped litter. They are pricey but well worth the money in my opinion.
- The LRII came quickly in the mail. One quick note, the box is bigger than one might expect. The instructions provided are straight forward and simple. Set up took about 5 minutes and that includes reading a little of the manual. After the set up, I followed the instructions and put litter in it and a small sample of matter from the old boxes. I left it off overnight and was pleased to see that both cats had used it during the night. I turned it on and voila.
A week later, I have retired four litter boxes and couldn't be happier. Not only does the house smell great, it also just feels cleaner somehow. No more random litter sprays or accidents when the cat has his butt hung the wrong way.
350 bucks is well worth it. The litter box goes from a nuisance to something that's mildly entertaining.
