Anyone out there who has had their Cat Genie more than 2 years and is still recommending it?

We gave up on using it. We had so many problems. I don't suggest you buy it. We still have ours but it is collecting dust, a waste of money. We use regular car litter boxes. Its a great concept, poorly constructed.

I Disagree with the last comment. We have had our for almost two years and have had no problems. Do need to take it outside about once every six months and break it down and clean it. I am guilty of going over a year without cleaning it and it still worked fine. Don't know what the other folks problems were. They never did say. Even if it breaks down in two year, I'll just buy another one.

Love it when working. But my drainage line wants to plug too frequently needing to he completely emptied and blown clear. My guys are using a very large box and dog pads couldn't go back to messy litter. So I layer the pads around the box which is deep and change them frequently. Cleaner than tracking litter....miss my genie but tearing it down to blow the line for tiny clogs was back breaking and messy. They need to work on a reverse feature to the motor to clear a plug

I may just have a stupid cat...but yes they have returned. I might be fighting a deep history of carpet using but it is still the best odor eliminator I have found.

We bought one over 7 years ago for 2 cats, and only replaced it this year. Mostly because we were moving house, and wanted the new one to be delivered to the new house. Well worth the money. We had tried pretty much all the other types of automatic litter boxes, and had to replace $200 units every other year, and they didn't have a very big collection tray. This one, is quick, clean, simple, and they cats hear know when it has rotated, and run to use their clean box. Besides, LR customer service is first rate! I had a problem many years ago with flashing lights on the front panel. They talked me through everything, were patient. We bought one over 7 years ago for 2 cats, and only replaced it this year.

It's certainly worth a try! The product reviews are great, and the price is ridiculously cheap for a bottle that will last you months and months. So honestly - what are you waiting for! I mean heck, for the price of a pizza, you can buy something that has a very strong likelihood of working, and letting you keep your dear kitty! Good luck to you :)

For my opinion YES. It's easy to install, functional, well made. Directions for programing ia very easy to follow. Great value. The remote functional and convenient to carry. Good size & fit. I'm very satisfied and don't plan to change Genie for different brand

I have stuck with this but still not happy it would have been a pain to return it. I wished I had the litter genie! I don't go a full weeks before having to clean it out from the smell coming from it and I only have one kitty.

My Genie door openers are circa 2000 with a manufacture date @ 1995. I don't know what a Python2 is. The remotes I got work perfect for me.They replace my originals.

I've had two of these before, both lasted about two years before exhibiting error messages because of the gears wearing out or being clogged with cat food dust particles. I'll be purchasing my third, I find it reliable, and my cats share the bowl, know the machine will feed them, and though they try, are unable to get snacks. It has helped them lose a couple of extra pounds too.

cant speak for everyone else, but i'm just about at my year mark, and I run it twice a day. Still going strong. Honestly if it did die in the near future, I would buy it again. I have two cats dark brown tile floors and several area rugs, keeping the fur, dirt & litter tracking at bay was a daily nightmare.

I've only had mine for about a year, but I've had no problems. My friend has had one two years, no problems there either. I would still say it's the best thing I've done for my cats. They had territory issues before, but all of that went away when I got this litter box. I try to tell everyone to get one.

I'm sorry but I have no answer for you. I would suggest going to the site and looking it up or calling Genie.

I have 2 cats and I only have to dump mine about once every 2 weeks. It really is a great product. Works great for me. I live in a small house family of 3. Don't hear half as many complaints since I've started using the Litter Genie Plus so I'm happy!

I have recently purchased the new version and have had no issues with the product yet. Very similar to the original version in a new color. My original lasted approximately 8 years with one large cat. I have only had this new version for a couple of months.

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.

Yup, 2 years. Email them if you have a problem. The customer service is great.

I have 4 cats (3 adults and a kitten) and I clean daily. I change the bags out when they get full. It entirely depends on the cats. And with me it varies from once every two days to once every three days. Genie is very easy to use. I LOVE IT!

My mom used to have a Hoover and she swore by it, lasted her like 20 years. That was then, she now won't buy a Hoover because they are junk nowadays. I have DC 17 animal, and it works fantastic plus my mom is jealous now.
