Has anyone used Nature's Miracle brand crystal litter with this? It is a smaller crystal, so I'm not sure if it will work well with the machine/tray.

That will indeed work OK, but if you look at the sheer volume of reviews Just the Crystals seems to be the preferred crystal of choice. They are the correct size and come in pre-measured bags, so typically work better and last longer.

I have not used that brand, but I prefer the smaller crystals. They work better in the fake.

I tried it, and it worked ok, but I had better luck with the Pure and Simple brand crystal cat litter. The natures miracle just doesn't last as long, but I also have 3 cats so that is a large factor.

I've only used Fresh Step crystals and Mimi Crystal litter which both sell at Walmart. The Mimi litter is half the price of Fresh Step and works well.

I am satisfied with Nature's Miracle crystals.I have only one petite kitty now and she doesn't load the box fast. It is a tad more time consuming to figure out the .4 lbs but well worth the money you save-more than 50% compared to just the crystals.

I have used it before. The key to this is putting 4 pounds in at a time and placing it in a cool place with a fan or by an open window. I can't wait to buy another auto litter box for my kitties. I love it!!!!!!!

I have an automatic kitty litter box and use the crystals. I use the crystals that they recommend, and they are fairly small. I have bought others and they are a lot chunkier and did not work as well. My cat has no problems with the crystals .

I don't know about crystal cat litter. However, I can tell you, from our experience that this litter box was a total waste of money & aggravation. In less than a week, the sifter began to stick and, not long after, got stuck open. Cats wouldn't use it. We tossed in the trash and went back to plain old covered cat litter boxes. I have nothing good to say about the Catit SmartSift.

It's regular clump able litter. Not crystals. I love it. I've tried everything and this is my favorite.

You'll need to figure out which litter works best for you. Certain litters don't clump solid enough and the convey belt will break apart the clumps, but I buy the big tub from Sam's Club and it works amazingly for that. The 'fast clumping' brands didn't seem to stay together well enough

I don't know the answer to that, but crystal litter does not clump. There're two kinds of crystal litter - one with smaller crystals one with larger. I would try the smaller crystals with a scoop-free automatic litter box. I've tried several types of litter and prefer the larger crystals. Crystal litter is more expensive but you have to change the litter less often which may make the crystal litter less expensive in the long run.

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!

I used to use this as well. After I had difficulty finding it, I chose Fresh Step crystal litter.

Not too bad, but keep in mind all crystal litter will track somewhat. I have tried almost ever litter on the market, because I have 4 cats. I don't like to smell the litter, and I want easy clean up. Be careful with the clumping litter, if it clumps in the box it can clump in their stomachs.

Yes. You remove the solids and stir the crystals a little so the pee isn't all in one spot. The crystals are pretty good at supressing the odor. I get about three weeks out of my crystal litter but I use Fresh Step not Just the Crystals. I Found that JUst the Crystals did not do as good a job as Fresh Step.

I highly recommend a good clumping litter. I personally use Tidy Cats. Just getting the solid waste into the tray defeats the purpose because the strong ordor of the urine will remain in the non clumping litter...

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.

Not sure. Manual says to use "premium litter" but doesn't give brand names. I did not use crystal litter.

It is similar I have been using the Mimi litter lately too because of the price. If I order again it will be natures miracle. Best of all other brands of crystal litter I have tried.

You can buy a separate tray and buy only crystals will be cheaper. However the problem is you will get tired of cleaning the tray.Since the urine stays in, it will get into the tray and you will need to clean it with bleach. It's a real pain. I gave up and usere-usable paper containers. It's a lot easier. Each box lasts about 1 month. It's a lot better than anything else at this time.

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.

Whenever there is too much wet spots in my warehouse (we have dogs) and water or mopping is not the option, I use kitty litter. Sprinkle and use a broom to the areas... it will dry instantly and easy to pickup. Probably not relevant to the question but I don't think the crystals would help, probably make it worst.
