| The cat litter and automated cat box is awesome. My husband doesn't like cats and would give me a hard time about how our regular cat box smelled all the time. After I got this automated cat box he never complains anymore! The box automatically scoops out any solid waste into a little compartment and the litter captures the smell really well. It's easy to assemble and takes no time or mess to clean up. Best purchase since I got my cats! |

| this product advertises that it will last for 30 days. I can't even get a full two weeks out of it before my cat is deficating on the floor. The price has also gone up and it is now too expensive. I'm going back to a regular litter box, and do my "scoop the clumps" thing! |

| I bought this product wanting to do as little as possible with the cat's litter box. Switching over from a traditional litter accomplished that. The only thing I noticed is that it need to be changed about every 3 weeks with my one cat instead of the recommended month. |

| I put the lid in a tall kitchen garbage bag before placing it under the cartridge. This provides extra protection in case of leaks. |

| I gave this product to my mother for Christmas last year. She still thinks it's great. She said it's easy to clean and I've noticed it reduced the smell in the room it's in. |

| The cartridge is quick and easy to install. I have 2 cats and need to clean the cartridge once a week, so I keep an extra bag of litter crystals and clean out the cartridge, refill it with crystals, and then replace the entire cartridge the following week to save money. |

| "Addressing the disposability issue and the cost." | 2008-06-20 |

The Scoop Free litter box is the best built, easiest automatic litter box available. I've tried them all. Everybody seems to like it. However, the disposable litter trays can cost a lot of money per month if you have more than one cat. I've found a cheat that works really well to extend the life of one of those disposable Scoop Free litter pans.
Your local hardware store sells thin hard sheet plastic for use in recessed ceiling lights, etc. It needs to be thin, about 1/16th inch, and absolutely smooth on one side. Measure the inside of the box bottom and cut out a piece to exactly fit (a marking pen and scissors works fine). Lay the plastic into the bottom of the box and fill with premium hard clumping litter. Now the box will keep itself raked clean for the kitties, but you must scoop the collection box manually when needed(which requires another small fix).
The cardboard trap door needs a slight alteration. Notice that when the box is in place you cannot lift the flap to scoop under it? I found that making a cut on each side of the lid with a razor knife allows you to lift it up past the lifting levers on either side, even when the box is in place. Now you can clean the trap manually, use premium clumping litter, and keep using the litter pan over and over again.
So now the best automatic litter box on the market can be re-used over and over in a more conventional way. You will still replace those cartridges occasionally, but much less often. I maintain three cats and this method is a must for me.
Two other recommendations for the Scoop Free Litter Box: To minimize litter scattering buy the box privacy hood. Better eye appeal too. I also use a 30 x 40 inch aluminum tray underneath the whole thing (the type you find in automotive stores to put under a car that leaks oil). It's a little ugly but it works well to prevent litter scatter underneath the box.

| "idea for hiding box.. love it!" | 2008-06-14 |

| I have 2 18 year old cats and pretty much tried everything in boxes and litter. I have to say I would rather deal with crystals then the yucky scoopable. Although they are old and pee alot, I do have to change often so it does get pricy. I read a review on how to save by covering the cardboard so the pee doesn't soak through. I have noticed though if you leave too long the poop gets moldy underneath the lid. BUT most important I have found a way to hide the box since I live LA in a small guest house. I bought a $30 coffee table from IKEA and placed the box underneath. The table sits against the wall and shelf that is supposed to go underneath fits perfectly to block the other side. I attached it with velcro for easy removal. The cats enter through either end and I don't have to look at the box or ugly hood. People who visit don't even know its there! AND it works great as an entry table, I put fresh flowers there to cover any hint of smell. I hope this helps anyone who wants to hide the box. |
