Is this better than the litter genie?

Never used the Litter Genie; didn't like the look of it in the store. This Litter Champ is terrific; I have two healthy grown cats and it serves them well. If you are suffering odor then it can't be blamed on your Litter Champ. I suggest that you look at the litter you are using and also get a bag of baking soda to sprinkle in the litter and in the Litter Champ. If the odor persists you should perhaps change your kitty's food or even take her to a Veterinarian, preferably with a stool sample. Cat feces do not normally smell after a day or so when they dry out.

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.

I have neighbors who have the Litter Genie and I prefer this one much more than the Genie. For one thing, they don't have a foot pedal to lift the lid, you have to lift it manually. Also, the inside seems much smaller and holds less, needs to be emptied more often

I have never owned a litter genie. I researched it and opted out of purchasing because according to what I read the replacement bags would've been more costly for me than the ones for the litter Champ.

My experience with the Litter Maid Elite has not been good. My old one worked really well, but this one does such a poor job that I ended up having to clean out the litter box as much as a non-automatic one. I found a couple of other self-cleaning ones on Amazon, but haven't ordered one yet. I'm sorry I couldn't recommend a specific one, but maybe someone else can. I hope you find one soon.

IMHO........No!!!! This unit is not robust enough to eliminate the stench of cat urine. I switched from a traditional cat box to a Tidy Cat Breeze litter box that utilizes special pellets and absorbent pads. I find it very, very effective at controlling odors.

If you mean the Cat Genie, yes, it does clean itself. I'll never have a cat in my house without one again. I keep mine set so that it cycles each time the cat leaves. I had it set to clean four times a day, but it clogged twice and caused a disgusting odor when the heater came on. Since then, I've kept it on the cat setting and it's never clogged again. The heater did go out in mine, I called customer service, received a new unit within the days, returned the defective one in the box, no questions asked. I'll never have a scooping litter box again. I hope this answer helps.

I've never used the litter genie, but I absolutely love my litter locker II. I've had it for over a year now and have 2 cats. So very happy I bought this. Easy to use and no smell. Even with 2 cats the bag refills last a long time.

Alice, I would only use the litter genie... mainly the bottom seal is what keeps the odors down. Without that you may as well use a grocery store veggie bag and call it a day. Litter Genie is pretty well engineered piece of plastic and we've bought about every one of them out there as well as making our own... hope that helps !

I've had both. Omega Paw is fine, but I would always end up with a tiny amount of litter spilling onto the floor. And also, sometimes the clumps were either too big or too small for the tray to handle. Plus, you need a large section of clear floor space next to the box in order to roll it over. Yes, those are minor issues, but still. My main reason for buying the robot was due to one of my cats who refuses to cover his poop. With the robot, it takes care of it after 7 minutes. With the Omega Paw, I would have to stop what I'm doing and go deal with it myself.

The best litter I have found that works well is Petco's brand of scoopable clumping litter. However I have notice that on the Litter-robot site that they have thier own brand. I dont know if it works as well as Petco brand

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 use Natures Miracle intense defense clumping cat litter (PetSmart). It comes in a 40 lb bag (It may come smaller-- havent looked). I saved back a couple of Tidy Cats jugs (Tidy Cats DOSENT Work for me) and put the Matures Miracle in them for handy use. I have 2 litter boxes 1 upstairs and one downstairs and the stuff really works! if the hopper is stinky just put a cup or so of the litter in it the Contious Clean does a very good job of sifting out unclumped litter and only a bit of the loose stuff ends up in the hopper. Sometimes thats not enough to control the stinky stuff. Also I have the boxes on timers that runs 2 hours twice a day. I got those at Home Depot the 2 pack of GE times was only about $10.00. I think having the box run 4 hours a day instead of 24 hours a day will help extend the life of the things and having the waste sit buried with litter may help kill the odor. (Dosen't keep things stirred up all the time.)

Ok, so I love this one. It is wayyyy bigger than the litter genie. However, the lucky champ bags are bio-degradable. Which means it is not good for smells. I buy odor trapping trashbags and they can be used in the Lucky Champ. And that has been awesome.

I own this sprayer and it is a far cry better than a bidet sprayer. The first "diaper sprayer" we purchased was really a bidet, and it didn't have the pressure that the bumGenius Diaper Sprayer has. The adjustable pressure on this product also makes a big difference when it comes to spraying off diapers.

No better or no worse. I think the litter is more important that the box as far as odor is concerned.

Yes. After each use by your cat it scoops the litter and washes the reusable litter. You hook the Genie up to your water line and run a hose to your drain so it actually flushes the sanitized waste. Once every couple of months you use a maintenance cartridge to clean the units inside and prevent lime buildup. I love the Genie. I have three cats and have used it for three months with no problems at all. I just add a few new pellets every week, and change the cartridge about every month.

We purchased the Cat Genie, after researching various cat self cleaning litter boxes on line, and after owning the littermaid self cleaning box...and when the Cat Genie arrived it was just so HUGE we never even unwrapped it, just sent it right back. It looked like a WASHING MACHINE! That it, assuming we're talking about the same item! We now have the new automatic Littermaid for multiple cats (2). We use it with the Bag-it system (see my Listmania) which means instead of tossing away the outragiously expensive disposable plastic receptacle and lid every day or so you simply toss away a plastic liner, like the smallest size Glad trash bag, or you can even use a grocery store plastic bag. It comes w/ a solid top to replace the flimsy plastic one, which imo holds in the odors etc even better. Together, this is the best system we've had so far, no mess, odor, little fuss, little maintenance at all. Cats use it with no problems or complaints.

I use the clumping saw dust type litter, it is more expensive but it is so much lighter when buying in the store or putting in the litter box. I have two cats and two boxes one inside one outside and they use them both with no problem. Also with this litter box there is very little tracking of litter.

I hope this response answers any questions you may have. We have tried so many litter boxes and been so disappointed, not to mention the money wasted. Then we discovered the Omega Paw LitterSystem - inexpensive, no electronics, simple and efficient. No loud noises, no mess, no more odor - it works like a charm!! I highly recommend that you google the product and watch the several youtube videos. Then order one. Add a litter genie to simplify disposal and go back to enjoying your kitties!
