Littermaid Automatic Self Cleaning Litter Box LM700 Review

Thrilled to finally buy the Littermaid 700 automatic self-cleaning box...then it got intimate! It took a long time to assemble because the notch to hold the receptacle and ramp was so poorly designed and flimsy as to be almost non-existent. I couldn't believe that it was really supposed to hold together that way and kept trying again.
The first time the cat used it the mechanism wouldn't shut off and it kept going through the auto-scoop maneuver incessantly Good thing I was home to shut it off. Called customer service, the cat had peed behind the rake and this clumped so the rake couldn't return to the right position! Poorly trained cat problem, so there. She also informed me that I should have sprayed the whole thing with PAM before assembly. So duh, was I supposed to disassemble it, scrub, spray, and start again?
Tried it some more, soon the flimsy notches let the whole ramp and receptacle go askew, cat's fault again, from the 7 pound cat going in and out. After a few more passes the lid was off and the ramp ajar, so that each pass of the rake spewed litter and fecal clumps all over the floor. Had to clean it to re-box it.
All in all the most intimate experience of kitty litter in my entire life.
