Litter Robot Self-Cleaning Litter Box Reviews

Like millions of cat owners, I was a big fan of the concept of an automated litter box, but I found that the Litter Maid simply could not keep up with the sheer volume of what my cats produced. Not only that, but the liners for the receptacle tray were expensive. So when I discovered the Litter Robot, a large domed automatic litterbox that has a litterbox sized tray on the bottom and can be lined with a garbage bag, I was on board, even in spite of the steep $300 price tag.

About the Litter Robot
The Litter Robot is a pretty sizeable device, so you can't really use it in areas where you want a discreet...

This is the fourth automatic litter box I have tried.  I am on a limited income but love my cat.  So I tried others first because of the price.  It was a waste of money. 

I PROMISE YOU, I have had this litter box for almost 2 years now, and it is absolutely the BEST thing that will ever happen to you and your cat.

I am retired, brought my cat with me, and live in Cancun, MX.  Shipping here is difficult.  Receiving any shipping, other than FedEx, is doubtful.  It is either takes over a month, is lost or stolen.  The company was new and not willing to ship directly to me.  So I had it shipped...

After much research of automatice litter boxes, I decided on the Litter Robot.  Glad I did.  I have a 16 year old, very finicky cat and she is doing just fine.  She didn't take to it right away, but with some work after a week or so, she started using it.  I had serious doubts about her using it, but I thought - what the heck - I'm only out the return shipping if she won't use it, so we decided to give it a try.  And I'm glad I did.  Here is what we did.  When we first put it together, she snooped all around it - of course - something new - and then she just went away.  Then we plugged...

     I bought it for my cat who was very finicky about his litter box.  Occassionally, he would just take a #2 in front of the litter box for no reason.  I've tried it all, littermaid, all types of regular litter boxes, all typed of diff. litters, & finally decided to fork out the money for this sucker.

     My cats would use it 50% inside and 50% just outside the door.  Although the thing is gigantic from the outside, it is very small inside.   I believe that it was just too cramped in there for my cats. 

     It didn't even help w/ the smell.  To me, it almost seemed to make...

I never knew what I was missing until I took a chance with the Litter Robot. I continued to puchase Litter Maids which would fail to work after about 1 year of use. Thought about it and thought about it and finally decided to take a chance. COuldn't wait until the "Bot came in the mail. Finally the day came and the UPS man arrived with a HUGE box with a picture of a futuristic litter box on the side. I was so excited and my cats were NOT enthused. I hooked it up read directions. It seemed to work at first and then it was a no go! It didn't work! Never fear though! The customer service at the Litter...

The Litter Robot (second version without the window) is a unique idea that --as the reviews as a whole support--is a godsend for some and just odd for others. 

Some background: I have two cats, one is a problem. Though they eat the same diet one's litter deposits are much more odorous than the other's. Plus, my Problem Cat tends to not cover up her feces. So I really needed something that would help with this. The Litter Robot seemed ideal, and the reviews are generally good. It seems well constructed and I really liked the option for recycled plastic components.  

When you see it in action--in...

I ordered the Litter Robot online after being fed up with traditional litter boxes. Even though it was pricey, they have a good return policy, so I decided to give it a go. Setting it up was really easy as it comes in two units and all you have to do and put the top on and plug it in. The bags they give you are helpful, but short and make a mess if they get full. I had to learn some tricks along the way because I ended up cleaning my Robot once every two weeks and the website said you only need to clean it once every 6 months.

I get big garbage bags, the ones you use for leaves and wrap it around...
