I went ahead and bought it. It comes with the AC adapter and it's first cartridge. One of the reasons I got it was to keep our dog from getting his little "treats". My wife just couldn't stand it. I'm happy to say that it seems to be working quite well. I'll be getting the "Forever Tray" now that I'm satisfied with the product's operation. The prefilled cartridges are quite pricey.

Don't know if this is still a question, but....it comes w/ some of the recepticles and their lids, and the electric cord, and AC adapter. I can't recall if there was a scooper in it? If you look at my Listmania on cats, I prefer the permanent lid and disposible plastic liners vs the very over-priced recepticles and lids that the company sells. You have to buy those separately though online. I think its worth it, and we originally got ours due to the problem of dogs sneaking in for "snacks".

Yes, that comes with the box, a scoop, 1 bag of pellets (lasts a month) and four pads. Depending how many cats you have, one pad could last a week. It's not cheap for the ongoing supplies, but SO much neater and less smelly than regular litter boxes. I buy pellets (now up to about $7.98 a bag, I believe) and pads (about $4.98 for 4) at Wal-Mart. I think I said before, I have four cats and have two of these and two regular litter boxes. Oh, I do believe I last ordered a box of a dozen pads from Amazon when I was out of town so the pet-sitter wouldn't run out.

I sent this to someone as a gift and was not sure..but looking on Step2's website it does say drain plug included. Wanted to let you know I ordered this as a gift for a friend for her baby's bday. When they opened the box a leg was missing. It was going to be a giant pain in the ass to have her return it to Amazon (Although Amazon was offereing me a refund) so she was just going to call Step 2 and see if they would send her the leg for it. Not sure if she ever got it. just wanted to let you know..hopefully that was just one box out of 1000s but I was really dissapointed in the quality control of the packaging. It's not like a scoop cup was missing or something..it was a leg to hold the table up! lol I sent this to someone as a gift and was not sure..but looking on Step2's website it does say drain plug included.

I empty the receptical twice per week and I don't put in a new one for it will last for quite a while. The problem that I had was the difficult time finding the 'reset button'. It is on one of the tracks opposite the main motor and it is unmarked. (Mark it with a magic marker. Also spray the bottom of the box with Pam or veggie oil to make the clumps easier to remove when you weekly change the litter.---djk

FYI&gt;.... Hope this helps you: the collar recently broke on this unit so I called PetSafe and they informed me that this model is discontinued and extra collars and spare parts are no longer available. I bought their new product line (PetSafe Yard Max Rechargeable) that is replacing the UltraSmart product line directly from PetSafe at a discount.

http://www.amazon.com/Jebao-PP300LV-Water-Pump-GPH/dp/B0088892PK/ref=pd_sim_petsupplies_43 This appears to be the pump, at $15.00 plus s&h. I checked the pump transformer to try to verify the name and model, but it shows nothing useful. That name, Jebao doesn't show on the pump itself, though the photo looks like it's the same thing as the one that comes with the fountain. Type "drinkwell 360 pump replacement" into the search box. It brings up a bewilding array of complete Drinkwell fountains and parts, but, with more patience than I have for such plentitude when I just want a dang pump (!!!), you eventually can find what you want. I ordered mine from Petsafe, and it cost something like $16.95 plus $5.95 for Pony Express handling. I wanted two as backups, but Petsafe's website argued with me until I finally said to myself and anyone that was listening (specifically, Andy my Persian, who expressed zero interest, dang cat!), "OK, if you don't let me to buy two when you want to sell me just one, so be it. It's your bottom line, not mine!" Amazon has links to many vendors, including some where you can buy used ones. Hunh!? The new ones are iffy enough. Good luck. I hope I saved you some time and grief. It may be possible to buy directly from the manufacturer, too, but I stupidly tossed the instructions after I became comfortable reassembling the darn thing. Incidentally, DO clean this thing out a minimum of every two weeks or when the flow slows. I have two Persians. Their hair tends to clog the vents on the pump, which no doubt contributes to their failure.

to M Ford.....did you find one? We are in the same camp as you....this is the only model worth buying. It is flagged on the LitterMaid site as 'best seller' and now I am being told that it is discontinued, but the crappy blue/white ones are still being sold. this makes no sense! Anyone know where I can get one of the all-beige LM900s?

I had emailed them earlier, and they mentioned the Dr. Fosters site. They also said: "The Litter Champ has been available for the last month, the refills are still not available on Amazon yet. They will not have them until probably the beginning to mid June." So they may be coming back, but still not from what I can tell as of yet.

the ramp is in there. there are some containers for the littler part. i suggest getting some bags to make the containers last longer. While the older model was much better this one works with the two cats i have. i did have to find the right litter to use with it, I use Scoop Away. don't get the hard clumping, the rake doesn't work well with it. I've tried a couple other litter box brands and this is better than hand scooping every day. good luck.

Ditto here, I was expecting the geniuses at Hoover to show me the working of their vacuum but once I saw their even more genius product's video, "the amazing box", I'm sold! Update: Unfortunately my husband angrily tore out the precious box, he couldn't figure out how to open it...I should of made him watch this amazing video :( I am now looking for a replacement box.

When I bought it the 3 month supply came with it. After I ran out I just looked up carbon on Amazon and bought the biggest bag for the cheapest price. It all works the same, or it has for me so far. I found this that worked for me Acurel LLC Economy Activated Filter Carbon Pellets, 3-Pound It is in long pieces and I just break it up. It has worked for me and the bag is huge so I've been using it for almost a year and it's half full if not more. I also change it regularly and had 3 cats and 2 dogs using it. Hope this helps! I love this filter. When I bought it the 3 month supply came with it. After I ran out I just looked up carbon on Amazon and bought the biggest bag for the cheapest price.

I saw a LITTERMAID in Petco 2 days ago. The canopy, ramp and pad,with receptacles come with this kit. I really like this kit! It prevents litter from getting out of box. The ramp attracts litter from cats paws, helps keep tracking of litter to a minimum.

The seller, GREAT VACS, has wonderful customer service. Tap on their name on the Amazon ad and that will bring you to their site where you can go to customer service link and type your request. They are very friendly and professional, I'm sure they will hook you up. Hope this helps. It is a great little vacuum that out performs machines that are 3 times it's cost. Love it!!!

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 wish i could help...my unit stopped working 3 weeks after purchase and has not worked for the past ~month. i will most likely throw it in the trash can. the manufacturer said they would send me a power adapter. i never recieved it. i am thinking twice about ordering anything from amazon as they appear to not care at all for their customers. it maybe time to revisit the brick and mortor stores. sorry for the venting. i wish could have helped

Yes. You still need to scoop your litter. All I was getting across is that this is a nice box and the litter I use with it is great. Sorry for the confusion. Happy scooping!
