How wide is the opening? I'd like ot get a different scoop to use with the Litter Champ, but I understand a lot of scoops are too wide for the Champ.

Its about 3 inches wide. I use non clumping litter and it has never been a problem. I dont imagine clumping litter would be an issue either. I am very pleased with my purchase.

We bought a wider scoop. I prefer the one that came with the Champ and my fiancé likes the wider scoop. Either one works! If you use the wider scoop I would just angle the scoop to pour in your "findings". If you spill a little litter using the wider scoop that's ok! You can wipe (with a paper towel or Clorox wipe) the excess litter into the Champ. This is a great product! Let me know if you have any further questions!

The scoop that comes with fits the opening perfectly. You could take it to a store and try to find a different one. But too big and you won't be able to use it to push the inside lid down and empty it into the bin cleanly.

It's big enough. I was useing my own scoop an I had no problem but then I started useing the one it came with cause the holes where smaller an I feel like it gets more if you know what I mean.

The opening is 5.5 inches wide at its widest point. The scoop is about 4.5 inches wide. My observation is that this opening will indeed be too small for many scoops, and it seems very clear that the scoop that comes with the unit is custom-made for the unit. I found the small size of the scoop a bit of an adjustment, but now it's perfectly fine for me. This of course is a matter of personal preference. Good luck with whatever you decide to do. I am still absolutely sold on this product.

Opening is 4 in X 5.5 in. Just measured. We also wanted a different scoop than comes with the unit. Down side to that is the scoop provided comes with a magnetic device so that it will hang on the side of the container. The scoop we bought to replace it came from the kitchen department of a local hardware store. It has a 1/4 in metal wire mesh screen about 4in X 4 in and has a metal handle. Works well with the opening. Wire mesh seemed better than slots found on many of the plastic scoops one can find online. Hope this helps solve your question. Litter system has always been wonderful and can be washed out occasionally and dried outside. Opening is 4 in X 5.5 in. Just measured. We also wanted a different scoop than comes with the unit.

Sorry, I don't understand your question. What do you mean by "to hold" the scoop? Do you mean, how do I store the scoop? I use the scoop in one of those automatic litter boxes, and I store the scoop in a floor cabinet in the bathroom. It is a very large scoop! I call it "the Godzilla of cat litter scoops"!

I think you are asking the size of the scoop it self - it's about 2 inches long and about 1 1/2 inches wide - hope that helps

I never owned a Litter Locker 1, but I do love my Litter Locker 2. I have no problem with the size of the opening. It works just fine for me. Hope that helps.

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.

I use a walnut litter and it works great. The pee clumps do stick to the bottom of the pan base; so as you turn I just use my scooper to jostle it loose a little. I can't seem to find the bags for the base anywhere :[

I clip the edges of the collection tray to be sure it will fit, and I put a thin piece of wood on the floor under the collection tray so it won't sag in the middle from the weight of the used litter. The old model I had that wore out worked much better than this newer one. The only thing the new model has going for it is that the cord that controls the scoop is now covered.

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 assume you're asking because your space is too small for even the littlest kitty litter box, so I'll say it's feasible if you use a small scoop. The opening is large enough for that but you'd need to be careful not to spill if you knocked against the side accidentally while trying to put the scooped litter, etc. in there. Hope this helps!

The litter box I think Althea is referring to is the Whisker City Jumbo Two Compartment Litter Pan. I used to have one and I like these better. These seem more solid. The plastic seems thinner on the Whisker City one. I'd rather not have the compartments, but they are wider on the Petmate and I'm at least able to put a scoop in one. The compartments of the Whisker City one are too narrow and the scoop will not fit. They should allow you to choose with or without compartments.

I recommend that you continue to use the ScoopFree Crystals. I have tried to used the crystals combined with a less expensive clumping litter; however, it seems to be more difficult for the motor moving the rake to drag through the heavier, clumping litter. I also noticed that the other litter had a residue that when mixed with the urine stuck to the plastic bottom of the tray making it harder to clean. I hope this answers your question... Good luck!

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.

Ditto the previous response. Doree Tateoka's measurements are right on. I really like my two Flip Litter Boxes for our 'wall spraying' kitteh. Remember, once your cat steps into the box he/she will be a couple inches higher depending on how much litter you use.

I am not sure as I have not been able to find them sold separately and they seem to be larger than normal scoops... maybe you should email the people at Tidy Cat and they could tell you? Phone: -800-778-7462 (1-800-7PURINA) Or Email: http://signin.purina.com/contact/

Hi Samantha, I have the large size and just measured it. The bottom of the opening is 6" from the floor, and then the opening itself is 10" high and 9" wide. I also have 2 kitties, ages 4 and 5, the 5 year old can be cranky and doesn't really like change. Anyway, they've both only ever used uncovered litter boxes. We've used the LitterMaid, and regular ones, but all uncovered. I left out both regular boxes with the Omega Paw and let the old ones get dirty, took one away and let the other get dirty until I didn't see any "disturbance" in it. We've only had this litter box for about 9 days and both have completely adjusted. I don't know much about CH, and I'm sure any difference in height could make a big difference. Anyway, I hope that helps! And btw, I love this litter box!!

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.

Actual hole slot litter goes into is approx. 4"x4 1/4". I have no problem with the opening at all. I have 2 of these, and really like them!!! I've bought another brand too, and it's about the same size. The refills on Litterlocker2 is cheaper then the other brands if you search on Amazon. Hope this helps.
