Pls offer a top of the line self cleaning litter box, I have back issues and bending over or kneeling twice a day to clean the box is painful to me.

I cannot answer this question as I have not yet found a self cleaning litter box that works. I have returned the Litter Maid boxes that I have tried because they had issues. I cannot recommend any one box at this time.

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.

Depending on how many cats you have . If it is only one cat, then you have to empty or exchange the container with the dirty litter every other day even every 2 days. If you have two cats it needs to be cleaned everyday. I would check in a pet store first and then buy online due to the better price!!! I love it no problems with it. Hope I could help you

Hey Michael, I had this exact problem with my cat. He was peeing on my couch, bed, rugs, etc. He has had some slip ups since I got this litter box, but they are significantly reduced. Having this one plus my old regular litter box (which I try to shovel out every time I notice he's used it) seem to work pretty well. He seems to pee outside of the litter box most when I'm not doing as good of a job cleaning out the original box. Hope this helps! It's been really helpful for me.

Absolutely not! The first Littermaid I owned was wonderful and lasted over 5 years with 2 cats. In the past year I've bought, returned, bought another, returned it, too, bought another and didn't bother to return it. Sad to say, but I've given up. So..... I scoop a few times a day. I don't have a solution, but would love to have a product as good as my first one.

Try putting a litter box close to the lounge. If your litter boxes are not cleaned daily that could be the problem. Some times if cats go to the bathroom in the wrong place it could be a sign of a blather infection.

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.

You have to roll the litter box until it is up side down. I hit the sides to remove the stuck on urine. Don't do this real hard. Then you roll it back, basically follow the directions right on it. Remove the litter tray and throw away. You can add more litter if needed. The cleaning action starts when you roll it over.

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.

It will not protect the floor. I'm trying to decide if I should send mine back, because it works well for catching the litter, but my cat has decided to use his box for pooping only, and has been peeing on the mat. I've tried cleaning it, even spraying it down with vinegar, because vinegar is supposed to be an odor eliminator, but it's not helping. I have afolded towel under the mat for now, so that my wood floor doesn't get ruined. Not happy at all.

My cat did the samething and then he stopped using his box all together. What I have found is do you have more then one litter box? I have just the one cat and he has three, some cats are very picky about where they do there business so by adding another litter box that can help. THIS STUFF WORKS!! Like i said my cat wasnt using his at all and now I have no more problems. Its worth it.

Been there, done that. It's likely the conveyor motor and it isn't supposed to do that. Unfortunately, I became very good friends with customer service. I went through a replacement motor and two different replacement units. It was never right. I finally gave up and bought a different litter box.

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!

There are activated charcoal products available for litter box odor control, just run a search.

I do find that it clumps into large pieces. However, I can still manage to get it out and leave the rest. One suggestion is to get a better scooper. I've found that when there is too much space between it's harder to clean. The other suggestion is to pour more litter in, so that it doesn't reach the bottom quickly. Good luck. Litter boxes are not the most fun thing to do.

I got this new litter box 2 months ago and haven't had any problems with it. I was reading a lot of reviews of the cat litter you mentioned earlier though, and I suspect that may be the cause of your cat's problem. It is recommended that when switching cat litters you do it gradually, starting with a mix of 1/3 World's Best and 2/3 your regular cat litter, and from there up the ratio of World's Best over a period of a few weeks. I'd suggest you try emptying out the new litter and mixing it as the manufacturer outlines--see if that solves the issue. Good luck.

I have 4 cats and they used it. The only problem is that it is so dark inside with the lid down they had a hard time hitting the box and urine got underneath the pan. I found cleaning the box was somewhat difficult. The lid doesn't stay open and I had to prop it open with something while I worked to clean the box. It's a nice piece of furniture, but I bought another litter box and am using it to put the cat food on top to keep it away from the dogs.

Do you scoop, clean and change the box often enough? Might try increasing that and see if it helps. Do you have a big enough litter box - good size and the right shape? That was key for mine who was doing this. You might also try keeping 2 litter boxes available (one for #1 and another for #2) if you can. Has something traumatic happened with your cat recently that could upset it (big changes, a move, another pet?) Is it eating and drinking normally? If all these things pan out, I then would talk to your vet about any medical issues (esp kidney or liver) that could cause it. But if it is otherwise perfectly healthy, it is usually behavioral. You just have to figure out the reason. Do you scoop, clean and change the box often enough? Might try increasing that and see if it helps.

My sister also has the same box. It gets the clumps, but tiny pieces get left behind and you have to change the litter often (depending on the cat). Which is still better than cleaning the whole box daily! Love it!
