AutoScooper 11 Self Cleaning Cat Litter Box, Automatic Cat Litter Box for Multiple Cats, Integrated Safety Protection with Open-Top Design

I do animal rescue and over time I've collected 5 cats. I adore every one of them, but the problem is, I hate mess, particularly animal mess. I've been cleaning litter boxes up to 5 times a day, but it still smells gross and I've been miserable.I was reluctant to get this, because from the description it didn't appear to be able to keep up with 5 cats, but in my desperation, I took a chance, and I'm so grateful that I did!!! I selected this one because I have a huge male cat (25ish lbs and 36 inches from nose to tail tip). I hoped that with the large opening he would fit in it ok. I also have a partially blind cat and worried that she'd be afraid of a more enclosed box. This litter box accommodates them both, plus the other 3 cats.There's no smell from the waste collected by the machine, the litter box is always clean, and the receptacle box is large enough that it only has to be emptied every 3 days or so.I feared the cats would be too afraid to use it. They're all total scaredy-cats, but they were fascinated by it, and within a few days, they were all using it, and I was able to remove the other boxes.Also, the safety settings work well and the machine stops if one of the cats jump in as it begins a cleaning cycle.If you have an obscene number of cats like I do, and have no desire to part with any of them, do yourself a favor and buy this!!!!!

It's super easy to set up. Simply remove it from the box, attach the legs, place the litter catching mat where the cats enter/exit, and assemble the poop-catching area. Basically, just place one of the included special-sized plastic baggies on the inside of the internal cassette-style box, then insert it into the unit.Run a quick alignment (middle button), add cat litter (about 20#), run the alignment again, and your cat's new throne is ready for use.- PROS -It's a cool little space pod that comes with everything you need except litter.It only has three buttons, so other than possibly a slight initial confusion about the placement of the poop baggie (it runs along the inside seam), it couldn't be easier to set up and use.It will pause the clean cycle if it senses your cat! The light turns red, the unit stops, and then it goes back to its cleaning cycle once it senses that your cat is no longer in the area.It's lifted off the ground so you can easily clean underneath, but it's also small enough to tuck under a counter or table if you want to hide it or maximize space.Contains smells!It's so quiet!- CONS -It's so quiet you might wonder if it's working, and spend a few minutes on the first day double-checking it. We saw the litter looking immaculately flat after being used, so we knew it had to be working, but we never saw or heard it; therefore, was it really? Like a tree falling in the woods, it *was* working, we just didn't see or hear it. lolLorge cats or those who don't like appropriately sized litterboxes might have an issue. They can still have their heads out (unless they are weird little yoga dudes like mine who do the stinkbug in there). It's more about how much space they have to turn around. That resolves itself once they get into a groove and develop their potty routine, but it's something you may want to keep in mind.

Ive6 wanted to buy an automatic litter box for years, but could never justify the $400-800 pricetags. Made an impulse purchase when I saw this on sale for $180, and after a week, I can't go back to manual scooping EVER again.So first off, it's compact enough to fit in the laundry room of my 2 bedroom apt. I put my three cats into it one by one to get them acclimated, and was especially worried because I have one who frightens easily, and another that clocks in at 22 lbs. (He had to pace in circles a few times before finding a comfortable way to sit, but was very content after figuring it out). But surprisingly enough, when I checked the old litterbox the next morning, and for two days after, it hadn't been used at all (and fortunately no one had made a mess on the floor, either).And the craziest part is that aside from the cycle for adding more litter, it's so quick and effective that I haven't seen or heard it in action once! It scoops very soon after the cat leaves, so by the time I go to the laundry room, the litter is already scooped and balanced, and even the smell is completely covered up.Fellow cat people, PLEASE save yourself the time and effort with this thing!!!
