I want to use a wet-dry vac to vacuum all of the kitty litter in the litter box. Does anyone think that it would work in this capacity?

This vacuum did not last a year for me. I don't think it would do the job you want.

I think it would... I have used it to clean out my coi pond, to vacuum my pool, and blow leaves... this is a great tool for all those kinds of things...

It won't to be honest. Our cats tend to jump out (sending litter flying as they do), though even when they step out they carry a lot. Also, due to the narrow opening and little of any airflow in the Litter Robot, the waste regularly stays quite moist rather than drying some during the delay between cat use and cycle rotation, so that contributes when they step in small moist or sticky particles that didn't get disposed into the drawer (or if the same or another cat entered again before it cycled which does happen). This unit is overpriced for the many issues that still need attention. Markedly the airflow and operation issues (litter that is moist gets stuck and jammed in the doors).

Hi! It's fantastic for us with a cat and little pebbles from kitty litter - UNTIL the filter gets full, then it kicks them back out. I think it's hands down the best vacuum I've ever owned.

I never thought about it like that however, I would not. There is a very small slit opening where the unit meets the carpet so you would have to go over the areas a few times. I believe the instructions would want you to vacuum first although, this unit picks up quite a bit of extra dirt even after I vacuum. We have cats and it does a great job in my opinion.

I would say yes since it does pick up cat litter from an indoor carpet too. Hope this helps you out and I hope it does the trick. It is a very nice carpet sweeper for the money.

This vacuum isn't labeled as a wet/dry vac so I have not tried and therefore cannot answer your question. The unit does have a fabric filter and I think water would actually wet the filter and damage the unit.

No, it does not operate as a wet/dry vac. Personally, I really do not recommend this product. And the vacuum is so small that it takes a lot of time to be effective. The steamer broke on its second mopping job. It sits in our closet doing nothing. And Oreck customer service goes in circles regarding accountability. The ones at corporate say to go to your nearest Oreck service center.... and the service center says to call corporate. Here is the link to their manual so you can have a better idea how it functions: http://demandware.edgesuite.net/aajc_prd/on/demandware.static/Sites-oreck-Site/Sites-oreck-Library/default/v1384978581761/images/userguides/Vacuum-VersaVac.pdf No, it does not operate as a wet/dry vac.

Sorry, never heard of that vacuum. I used it on a ridgid 16 gallon wet/ dry vac.

It will do great with kitty litter. The brushes and suction of the Neato are very effective on small debris.

Yes! Rather well, too. It gets all the cat litter out of my bathroom rugs and the carpet in the hallway outside the door. The suction surprised me, really. I actually have to push the vacuum away from me while sometimes stepping on the rugs to vacuum them.

Couldn't find the review you speak of, but I have realized that really can't trust or rely on the limited power of cordless vacuums. I own this and during use it picks up my cat food but when you turn it off, the food bits just fall right out, meaning it lacks adequate suction to fully draw into the collection chamber. I ended up just buying another "corded" vac for real usage and use this weak vac for dirty simple jobs, like my car. But, before I shutoff after using it "everytime", I hang it over a garbage can to let out whatever doesn't get sucked up, its pretty ridiculous.

I would not recommend it for that use, yes it can vacuum wet surfaces but it does not have enough suction power to clean wet fabric with foam. Keep in mind it does not have a brush, only a small opening to suck dirt about 1 1/2 inches, not big enough to clean wet furniture with..

You MIGHT be able to do that in VERY SMALL amounts - but it has a consistency of sawdust basically once it gets wet - so it could easily clog a toilet. I do think this is absolutely the BEST litter that I have ever tried. We have tried multiple brands from multiple companies and this one is the best - it absorbs the smell so well - I love it!

I use it in my hobby room and it picks up my beads along with thread and of course lint. So I think it would pick up your kitty litter very good.

I found that for cleaning things on top of the carpet or slightly under the top, it did fairly well. I found the suction to very weak. I bought a wet vac to use after I use it because it was not strong enough to remove much of the water.

It will pick up hairs and dust from carpet while you are shampooing it. It is best to vacuum the carpet first. I don't see how you can use this as a dry vac.

Ive cleaned a dry carpet before with success. I never tried cleaning a wet carpet but it may work since it picks up water with ease. I cleaned the bottom of my hot tub with this vac. Be sure to put the protective sleeve on the machine for the wet setting and remove the dry filter. It's a very good shop vac for the price. I use it for everything, house, garage, shed, craw space, yard, etc.
