Does the top have to come off to scoop out clumping litter?

It does not have to come off but it is easier. If you go to the door you will have to remove the flap

It would be easier to scoop with lid off, you could go through the door it is big enough. I myself do not use clumping litter, so I dump mine.

I supppose you could go through the doorway, but I always take the top off to scoop out the clumps. Otherwise I wouldn't be able to scrape the bottom well. I took the door off as well. The top snaps off easily, though, and it has been no problem.

Yes. There are four clamps that flip up easily. These really cut down on litter dust getting on things even without the door on.

It may be a bit hard to force the clumps in past the top. You have to kind of shove the diaper in (not excessively) but I think you want to avoid touching the litter.

Sorry, but no. It was a little difficult to scoop. We only used this while our kitty recovered from being spayed and could not use the other type of litter.

yes the bottom does slide out toward the front. what you have is the litter container and then the wire screen that sits just above the litter container. they both slide out individually if you chose. the process is rather easy.

Yes. There are 2 clips on either side that attaches the top to the bottom. They are very secure until you want them to come off. They just unlatch, lift, and clean.

Lol...no, unfortunately. It cleans the litter and gets rid of it down the drain or in the toilet, but you have to take it apart at least once every 6 months to clean the insides. I found that it would need cleaning every month, month and half.....and it always seemed that when I went on vacation - that would be a signal for it to not work properly. I am actually getting rid of mine. I have 2 in my basement. It's too unreliable and too much trouble. Scooping the old fashioned way is a relief, to tell you the truth.

Yes, it is flat on the bottom. Curved where the sides and bottom come together so scooping there can be difficult. I just slide anything in the curved areas toward the middle and then scoop it up. Works very well at cutting down on litter getting outside the box.

No - our cats have not been able to turn the machine over or get the top off. The machine has a broad base, and is stable. The top sits in pretty snugly.

We use clumping litter, so we never pick it up, just lift off the top, sift out the clumps, add some new, and recover. We periodically take it outside and hose it out. It's very low maintenance.

If you are using the scoopfree do not use the clumping. It can jam the mechanism and burn out the motor. Walmart carries an inexpensive crystal litter that works great.

It's pretty easy to remove. It just unsnaps from a point on each side. Honestly, I never need to take the top off. The opening is big enough for me to get in and scoop.

No, the top just slips down in place. I really do not use the top. I find milk stays fresh longer in this glass container without the top.

It depends on the litter used, but with our Arm and hammer super scoop, it does not clog.

Yes it will. I have both. :)I should add I have the littermate scoopfree box. I can't say what the size if off hand as I'm not at home but it fits with about an inch or so to spare. You have to tilt it a bit if you want to take the entire box out but the bin comes out with no problems.

I don't know, but the previous comment about the litter clumping very hard makes sense. Probably would not work, but there is a smaller size bag you can get if you want to try.

The lid on mine comes off extremely easily because there are no locks/latches to attach the bottom to the top. A good, strong wind could possibly blow it off. I would look for a covered litter box that looks more like this and has the locks on the side to secure it:http://www.catsofaustralia.com/images/litterpan12.jpg

I have never used that type of litter but I can assure you that this scoop will not bend or break. I sometimes need to use quite a bit of pressure to scrape the wet litter from the bottom of the pan and this scoop is definitely up to the job.
