How do you change the litter out of the Robot? Does anyone know how to change the old litter out and put fresh litter into the Robot?

It's not that bad. There is an "empty" button that makes it spin the other way. Unfortunately, at least for mine, it doesn't really empty but rather gets the bubble around to where the emptying doors can be opened to remove the litter. It is at least easier than renewing litter in a traditional box (unless you line the litter box with a trash bag already)

I'm sorry I do not know, however, after using the litter for a while, it started to track. At first it was great, didn't use excess litter( I have a litter robot) . As time went by the tracking was really bad and if you have a long hair cat, the litter gets imbedded in her fur. Good luck

I use only the Arm & Hammer ultra last litter. I also use their double duty deodorizer freshner powder when I change the waste drawer. I put some in the bottom of drawer and in the waste bag. When I add litter I also put a little bit of the Double Duty Arm & Hammer deodorizer and mix it in with the litter. I change my waste drawer twice a week. And clean the globe about once a month. I have two cats using it. I love it and it saves me tons of time and my animals are well taken care of.

It is awkward getting the litter in and out. I had to tip it to get it in on ground level through the door. I like to clean our litter every day. So I ended up taking the dividers out of the second level and putting them flat on the floor of the right side and putting the litter there with some hay in front of it. That works well because I can raise the roof to clean it. I only use the bottom door to put food and treats in and out. When we are home I leave the bottom door open so my bunny has the run of our deck. He goes back in to use the litter. Hope this helps.

It's really hard finding dust free litter that works in these machines. They only work as well as the litter you put in it. If it doesn't clump enough, there's leftover dirty litter that broke apart small enough to go through the grate. Tidy Cats works best in my situation, not the best at clumping (that would be scoop free, which is like a sandstorm of dust) but also no where near as dusty as its competitors. Hope that helps.

It's not possible. Ive not used this type of box for quite sometime. I've used the litter robot for over five years with no problems and three cats. I would only change if they came out with something better!

Its SUPER easy. If you are wanting to change the "litter", you just pop off the wire part from the bottom via the snaps on the side. Dump, change, done. If you are wanting a deep clean (do this every so often!), pop the wire part off, take the tunnels, platforms, wheel, and cover off and wipe them down with a disinfectant wipe (I sometimes put them in boiling water too). Dry and you're good to put it back together. The little green part at the top acts as a holding cage too (if you have tiny hamsters that is), so they are in a safe place while you clean. I've had this for a while now and I LOVE it. And so does my little hammy Dokken! Its SUPER easy.

This would definitely benefit you! After the cats use the litterbox the robot automatically rotates and drops the waste into a drawer at the bottom therefore eliminating the odor. There is a place inside the drawer that you insert a carbon filter that helps absorb the odor. I have 2 cats & usually only have to empty the drawer once a week. Hope that helps answer your question. It is an expensive machine but I truly believe it is worth the money.

I had the same problem until I simply took the old box, that sat next to it for 3 weeks, away. The self cleaning box is MUCH cleaner. NO smell and I don't have litter tracked all over the floor anymore. I almost gave it away, but I'm glad I didn't.

This machine cleans great if you use the rite litter. Use plastic grocery bags to line the tray, just tuck them under and its a easy clean up and you don't to buy trays

I had a Littermaid first & couldn't get it to cycle reliably. I also disliked having to buy fecal receptacles specially designed for the Littermaid. With the Litter Robot any small trash bags will work. It also does a better job of keeping the litter contained if you have a messy cat like mine. Litter Robot has a higher up front cost but I've owned it for over 5 years now & it still works.

You have to roll the litter box until it is up side down. I hit the sides to remove the stuck on urine. Don't do this real hard. Then you roll it back, basically follow the directions right on it. Remove the litter tray and throw away. You can add more litter if needed. The cleaning action starts when you roll it over.

We have 3 cats, and it's enough, but we must empty the dirty litter 2 or 3 times a week. One Litter Robot might be enough for you, but be prepared to empty it every day, which simply involves opening the drawer, taking out the bag with the used litter, replacing a fresh bag, and adding some clean litter to the LR. Still, you'll enjoy the advantage of not smelling the litter box, and not scooping. Also, you don't need to use their bags - shop around.

Hi. I only left the old box there for a day. I took it away and watched my cats and they used it right away. Try using some litter from the old box into the new one. Don't worry she will use it. Put it in the same spot as the old one.

I have two cats, my siamese took to it as soon as I opened the door after running it the first time. My older cat took about 2 weeks to go from his old clumping litter to the Genie. Just leave the old box dirty and right next to the genie, eventually they will start using the clean box over their dirty one. Leave the Genie on manual mode until they are using the Genie for both for at least a couple weeks, then you can switch it to automatic.
