Can this pan be used with walnut-based clumping litter? I like the litter a lot and would love to try this pan.

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 have never used the walnut based (but I would like to try it), but I have had no problem with any clumping litter I have used.

We use Tidy Cats type (not clay) clumping litter and it works well. I don't know how big the granules of the walnut-based litter would be. There are slots that the litter falls thru as the tray turns on its side for the clumps to fall down past into the pan and then it fills back up when you return the handle. If the granules are about the same size it should work fine.

I don't see why not. The sifter dumps so much litter that I mostly just scoop it instead of using the lever. Either way, you should be fine.

I use a clumping kitty litter & I now have 2 of this pans - with 4 cats (right now) they are easy & neat

As long as you use a good clumping litter you should be OK. I usually use Scoop Away because it clumps well and I have 3 cats. The litter box is great. I hope you enjoy it as much as I have through the years.

I actually use another brand of litter but I think it has to be crystals. I know that a clumping brand would not work. Hope that helps.

I'm not familiar with Blue Walnut Litter. If it clumps, this scoop will work fine. If it's like the pine pellets that dissolve into sawdust when wet, it won't work at all. For that you need a two tray litter box where the bottom tray is solid and the top tray has holes for the sawdust to sift down. Hope that helps! �

I dont see why not. Just be sure it is dry and flowable, as there is nothing to break up clumps. Wash down and oil with a light oil or penetrating spray after use. Good luck!

Not if you use "clumping" litter. We like it b/c it fits perfectly in the corner:)

I really loved it and raved about it, but after about 6 months it would constantly get stuck with not being able to lift the soiled litter. I had to stop using it, but I never got around to contacting the company. I moved on to a automatic circular one, and it didn't work either. Moved on to a 3 pan system where one is a sifter type pan, and I sift it manually. I wonder how long yours lasted.

I don't use any. I figure my kitties would just tear it apart during their enthusiastic burying so why add more plastic to the land fill? However, the other thing that I really like about this litter pan is that it is made out of a hard plastic, making it very easy to clean with little or no scratch marks left on the bottom.

I think the crystals would clog it up. I use a good clumping litter and it works great for me.

I have multiple cats so find the crystals expensive. I have done a lot of testing with other litters. I have found the clumping litter made from Walnut shells-from Blue works well and another reviewer mentioned the Worlds Best made from corn works for him. You have to play with the amount a bit to have it deep enough to function but not so deep as to hinder the raking motion of the machine. I think the clumping clay type litters might be too heavy to work with the machine. Hope this helps.

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.

I don't recommend doing so. There is a rack that combs through the litter that is meant for moving the cat poop but not necessarily a clump of litter.

Hi Aneesa. Search for "little giant dura-flex plastic utility pan 3-gallon". Make sure you're looking at the 3-gallon size, and plastic. It fits nicely. It comes in red, green and blue. I line the Little Giant pan with a jumbo size drawstring style litter box liner, and pull that tight underneath the Little Giant pan. This system is working great to keep the box clean and fresh.The Little Giant pan is available through Amazon, but I bought it locally at a local feed & grain store - I wanted the green one and it was much cheaper that way.

I would recommend using any kind of clumping litter. If the pine litter is not clumping, then I wouldn't recommend it. I currently use Scoop Away Clumping Litter. It seems to do a really good job. The biggest difference between the Litter Robot and a normal litter box is there is no smell with the Litter Robot. We have it in our laundry room, and before my wife was afraid to hang clothes to dry in there when we had a regular litter box because they would smell like the litter box. Now, you wouldn't even know it is there.

I haven't tried anything but the chrystal litter but my guess would be no because the collection container is too small for the clumps. The crystal litter absorbs the urine and only the feces is scooped. It doesn't work as well on the odor either so it needs to be changed more often.

Don't use good clumping litter. The chunks get stuck in the slot and you have to break them apart.

Unfortunately I just use regular litter from Costco, so I would just find the lowest dust clumping litter you can find for your situation and go that route.
