from this ad, why would you NOT need to scoop this litter box? wondered if i am missing something since this looks like a regular covered litter box. that i would assume you have to scoop or sift to clean

I read the ad/description & don't quite know what they mean by Litter Scoop Free Maintenance. You have to scoop the poop. Doesn't matter to me. I'm still loving this litter box. With it's higher sides, front & back it really cuts down on the amt. of litter that ends up outside the litter box.

I will tell you the exact same thing as I mentioned to the other person who asked. The way LitterMaid markets this is so you spend lots of money. You don't have to replace filters or poop catchers as often as they say. The box stays closed after the scoop dumps the poop in it. The poop bucket pulls out so you can empty it. Another suggestion is the top part of the poop bucket sometimes comes loose so put a piece of tape on the sides so it doesn't move. Let me know if this helps you.

We have two litter boxes. One is covered, one (the Lucky Champ) is not. My cats don't seem to care one way or the other. They use both equally. A covered box is helpful in more public areas of the house.

Question...did you get the Litter Robot for your eight cats? I'm in the same position of having 8 rescue kitties and wanting some relief from catbox duty. Currently I use 4 huge Sterilite plastic storage boxes with 40 pounds of Dr. Elsey's Precious Cat litter per box. While I'm totally sold on the litter, scooping is still bothersome. But this box is really, REALLY expensive, so I'm asking around to anyone who has more than the usual complement of 2 cats.

I do not have an issue with that. Make sure your insrerted try is put in corectly. Also SLOWLY turn the litter box over. This should collect all litter.

Hi! The litter box isn't as shape as it looks. Cats will kick litter out of almost any box, but my cats didn't kick much litter out of this one. It also depends how much litter you put in it. I just used a little less. Hope this answers your question.

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.

My 16 year old cat pees outside the box. I think she was trying to tell me something about she not liking it. I had been using her old cheap Costco litter first. Thinking that that was the problem I switched to Tidy Cat Multiple Cat something. I even purchased a new mat.I had to wash the mat yesterday and found she was peeing in front of her litter box regardless of the litter type. Since she can't tell me why she doesn't like it it seems I'm back to the store to find a regular style litter box. But oh, how I hate the back breaking scooping of the litter...

Check out the Modko Flip Litter box introduction video on YouTube; it explains the liner. I actually use the litter box without the liners. http://m.youtube.com/#/watch?v=VPT2jt8EycA&desktop;_uri=%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DVPT2jt8EycA

We wondered the same thing, but it actually keeps the scooper really handy. We also leave a box of fragrant sprinkle dust in the other compartment, for emergency odor control. Our cats do not mess with anything in there unless we leave paper towels....then, it is "game on"!

I honestly do not clean my cat's box everyday. It's more like once a week. But in regard to you question it will not affect the product. The one thing you need to do with this product is use a clumping litter. As long as you do that you're golden. I've really enjoyed this box, I would highly recommend it.

Yes the scooper goes there, great sanitary handy place to store. I have 6 cats and they've never messed with it or displaced it. Live this litter box!

I think you need to use crystals, but like other people have said, there's a reusable tray you can buy and I also saw some other crystal litter (that is probably cheaper) that you can buy to go with that. So basically, it doesn't have to be ScoopFree necessarily, but I'm pretty sure it can't be anything but the crystal kind.

We bought a wider scoop. I prefer the one that came with the Champ and my fianc 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!

This is definitely a question I should have considered before buying mine. My one cat likes to pee in the corner directly above the grate so it does require regular maintenance to clean out that spot or else it will build up where the scoop can't reach. I wouldn't call it a huge dealbreaker, though, just a minor inconvenience and still better than scooping out a normal litter box every day. (Also, I've noticed this problem gets worse if I don't occasionally even out the litter, since the grate tends to push it all forward and leaves those back corners a little low.)

This answer is too late, I'm sure, but I found that periodically raking in the box the way I always HAD to do in the regular litter box, gave my cats a curiosity about it and the sound apparently triggers their "need to go." Even my 11 year old cat uses it but he still has access to the old box, so he doesn't use it all the time.

Absolutely, good for multiple cats, we bought the larger one, which probably is a bit deeper, but our cats hated the door, so we took it off.We have several types of boxes, and this one was definitely a favorite, (we have 5 cats).Hint, use the sifter in the middle,then you just pick up box 1, run thru the sifter, and the bottom box becomes the cleaned litter box, wipe out the old dirty one and then put the sifter in it, otherwise everything sticks to the sifter pan.
