Littermaid LitterMaid Self-Cleaning Litter Box LM900 Reviews

I was very excited when I got my new LitterMaid, and for a very good reason. LitterMaid cleans the litter box for you. Once a day, usually in the evening, I would empty the little holder in a bag and dispose of it. Terrific ideea. There was only one big problem. Quite often, I've found kitty poop on the floor outside the box. So, I've followed the cat to the box and watched the whole incident. The cat was indeed getting in the box, but her butt was hanging over, and of course, "stuff" got on the floor.

I guess it would work fine for a very small cat or a kitten. I have two adult cats, medium size....

I had one of these and wound up giving it away as my cat didn't like that it moved and made noise.  It didn't do that when she was in the box of course, but she noticed it and was a little scared of it I think.  Also I thought it was a little messy.  Maybe I needed a more premium clumping litter though.

I wish it had worked for my cat as it would have been convenient.  I would say if a cat is not easily spooked and for those cat owners who really want to avoid scooping around in kitty litter, this might be a good product.  My kitty though, gave it a "thumbs" down. 

Item worked well with one cat or if I have the kitty door open so that my cats can come and go, but the minuite they are confined to indoors and are all forced to use the litter box - wow - it gets bad quickly.  Works good for one or two kitty's - not so good when you have more than that.  Also does not cover up the odor's as advertised.  One positive point was that when the rake did break the company was very good about sending me a new one at no charge since it had a 1 year warranty.  Good service.   Would not purchase again for my situation. 

Bought this and it worked for about 3 days. When I called the service dept. they had me cut the ribbon to the computer chip and send it back so the could replace the whole unit.

Well they did and this time it worked for about 2 months. Yes I will call again but this time I want my money back.

The so called hands off waste disposal does not sit well and some litter does get in under it which winds up on the floor. 

The first one I bought lasted the longest (about a year.)  After that they kept breaking on me.  I guess my multi-cat household was too much for it.  One of them just kept cleaning the box every ten minutes.  Great unless you are trying to sleep... Forget customer service.  Weren't helpful and who would blame them? Would you like receiving broken, dirty litterboxes in the mail to repair?
