I have four cats, prefer to use liners, and change the box daily vs scooping. Has anyone tried using a liner? Concerned with the slope/rise at the back and fit of a liner. Jumbo's I use are 36x18. Thanks!

I've been using this box for some time now with 3 cats, 2 under a year and 1 older, all about average size. Haven't tried a liner but it does a good job of containing the litter. It seems the liner could be held in place at least partially by the top which is pretty secure with 4 good size snaps. Aligning the top can be a little tricky at first but easy to figure out. Hope this helps!

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 was using those Johnny Cat large litter tray liners for a while but this unit does come with 1 large upper tray liner and 2 smaller liners for the bottom tray. Personally I tried the liner for the upper tray where they poddy but it was always ripping from their clawing and I had to use extra long rubberbands to secure the liner because they would pull at it. I finally just removed it and am so much happier without it, especially using the silica sand cat litter. You just rake it after they urinate to keep things absorbed and less smelly and the tray never has the silica sticking to it unless really saturated but it scrapes right off when I clean it. Clumping clay litter sticks a lot worse so that is why I now only use the silica litter. This litter box works wonderfully with it and I just use paper towels and a bleach/water solution every 5 days when I change the litter to wipe out the tray and wipe off the sifting plate. The silica absorbs the solid waste's moisture so well the tray never has waste stuck to it and that really is another bonus! I have not even had to replace my bottom tray liner since I use the 9 x 11 foil baking pans sitting in the bottom waste tray. I use the foil baking pans that come with the top tray having pencil sized holes in it. It allow me to lift that top tray to sift the solid waste and dump it and then I dump the sifted silica sand litter in the bottom tray back in the unit so the litter remains plentiful until changing time. Once the foil trays get too beat up or super nasty I just replace them at less than $3. I like saving money. Hope this helps.

Question...did you get the Litter Robot for your eight cats? I'm in the same position of having 8 rescue kitties and wanting some relief from catbox duty. Currently I use 4 huge Sterilite plastic storage boxes with 40 pounds of Dr. Elsey's Precious Cat litter per box. While I'm totally sold on the litter, scooping is still bothersome. But this box is really, REALLY expensive, so I'm asking around to anyone who has more than the usual complement of 2 cats.

I don't use litter liners anymore, but I should use either a large or an extra large depending on the brand. (If the liner is too tight, the cats end up clawing through them and everything falls through, and it is a mess to clean up!)

While no expert, I do know there is a pan size between the regular and multi cat product. Even with the larger size, my cats sometimes hit the tray cover. I'd suggest the multi cat For any cats, size not withstanding (of cats).

Hello Jonas,I just measured my champ litter and mine came out to 19" high,but keep in mind I am not always the best user of a tape measure. The other two measurements came out the same. If I understand correctly, you want to put it under your sink area. With that idea in mind, I am giving you something to thing about. First of all, I absolutely love my litter champ. I have ffour cats and I empty the storage once a week . I have no smell from the litter champ even waiting to empty it for that period of time. Next, I will say that it has been my experience that when it is full, it is a little more difficult to shift about. the other thing I would mention is in order to put waste into the champ, it needs a few inches of clearance for the lid to open up. Just a couple thoughts I have encountered;but I would be truly upset if I could not use my champ litter disposal now after having used it for a couple yrs. I hope this helps.

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.

I don't use it anymore because my cat died after 18 yrs. but I also looked for alternatives and I think anything that doesn't drop through the holes would work. I will be looking for an alternative when I get another cat. Love the system, but the pellets are too rough on their paws. I say try it!!

Not at all, except for the ridges in the lid and the available proprietary liners. If either feature is important to you, the price may be worth paying. I don't like liners and find a quick vacuuming takes care of tracked litter so I made my own boxes. My cats are large so I used larger totes that still cost much less. I glued carpet to the lids for traction, but I'm no longer using the lids at all. My cats prefer open boxes. I have sturdy small tables the same height next to them to give the cats easy access in and out.

I love the compartments. My box is in the basement, so it's a perfect place to store scoopers (I have 2 large ones that fit in one compartment) and I have a roll of bags in the other compartment. I use those bags in a bucket right next to the litter box so I can easily put them in the trash. I can also fit spray cleaner in the compartment. I suppose you could put paper towels in too. My cats do not mess with anything in the compartments. They love the box.

Check out the Modko Flip Litter box introduction video on YouTube; it explains the liner. I actually use the litter box without the liners. http://m.youtube.com/#/watch?v=VPT2jt8EycA&desktop;_uri=%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DVPT2jt8EycA

I have two cats, one of which is a large boy who pees a lot and prefers to do so against the back corners of the box. Even with daily scooping, the box will eventually start getting soaked through on the bottom - because of this, I place the box on a large baking pan to avoid damaging the bottom of the litter box cabinet. I find that with my two large cats, it works best to change the box every two-three weeks. For me, being able to just dump the whole thing and never needing to scrub a litter box in the tub is worth the extra cost.

Please be aware that this IS NOT an Official Yes/No answer, simply one buyer trying to help another.1st: Why would you want to trim off edges? Are you trying to make it fit a confined area?2nd: I cannot see a reason Why this would affect the Quality of the products' ability to retain excessive litter when your cat comes out of his/her litter box. 3rd: For me, I LOVE the mat because it TRULY captures excessive litter. All I do is after scooping litter from Pan. I just shake off the excess litter!!Hopes this helps!! :-)

I have two 9-10 lb shorthair and med-hair cats and a LARGE box. There is plenty of room. I would think the medium would work just fine. Be mindful, however, that it's not so much the size of the box as the amount of space you need to roll it back and forth for the emptying. Your cat, though, should be find with the medium-sized box. (And, I will attest that it's VERY EASY to clean!) When you figure out how to lick the "cat hair everywhere" problem, please share!

when I used the liners I fit it snug to the bottom of the pan. It will form fit. I would not use it alone. I used the liner along with a plastic liner because my cat was older and tore the bag so it leaked. Saved me from having to scrub the pan because of litter leakage. I highly recommend these. The plastic wings can be a little long don't use the adhesive that's attached to the wings. Tough time getting it off my pan when changing.

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.
