Do the conveyor belt effectively move the litter into the waste bin or do the clumps often break up in the process creating more mess?

It moved the litter clumps very well. They stayed together and went in the bin easily. Didn't break apart.

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

If you use fast clumping litter the clumps aren't strong enough to handle the conveyor belt. But any other type of litter should be fine. I had to switch when I noticed that happening and haven't had a problem since. I use cheap litter from Sam's Club.

You MUST use premuim littler. I like to use the new lighter weight litter and have not had a problem. Had my first one for more than 5 year before the motor went out! KEEP the instruction manuel because I could have just called them and paid $14.00 for a new motor.. oh well.

The litter box works greats when it works. I went through 3 in 5 months. Finally gave up and went to another brand. I don't think the motor is big enough. Would have loved it if it would have lasted longer than a month.

I use the clumping saw dust type litter, it is more expensive but it is so much lighter when buying in the store or putting in the litter box. I have two cats and two boxes one inside one outside and they use them both with no problem. Also with this litter box there is very little tracking of litter.

Although we do not use the plastic bags to place the litter, the base of the container has a lip that will hold the litter disposable bags nicely. The top, when placed in locked position will hold the plastic liner in place. No mess

I didn't have any problems with this clumping. It does a great job I've been using this brand for years and no complaints here. I hope this helps you out.

We usually try to clean it every three months. If you use a premium clumping litter, it should work well. We only use for one cat in our household. No, the cover doesn't interfere with the waste collection. Our only issue was the turn table motor on the first unit died after a year and a half and we replaced the entire unit. This really has reduced the box odor. We dump the collection bag every three/four days.

After assembling the unit I put in clumping litter, not exceeding the fill line. I ran the motor once after pushing power and it got about 3/4 of the way down to just where the scooper arms start to engage, the motor hung up on that and would not proceed any further, so the scoop tray never actually had anything fall into it.

I have two cats and clean daily using ever clean litter. mine has not broke down..and the smell is well under control ..i feel its a comb of the liner and the litter..

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!

It has ridges so litter gets caught in the lines. I do the vacuum back and forth and up and down and can get about 90% of the litter. Every couple of weeks I have to pick it up and shake it. But it is flat fiber so it does not snag in the vacuum. Hope this helps. :). I have a Dyson rollerball vacuum that I use.

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.

Absolutely. It picks up litter right away. You don't have to keep going over the same area.

No, I haven't had an issue with the belt. The wheels seem to fall off during vacuuming though. That's my only issue at the moment.

I go through a lot of litter. I have eight cats and I buy two bags at a time and they last me about a month or so. The litter clumps extremely well and there is no waste. I prefer this to clay, pine and all the rest. It's just really good litter.

The lid wipes clean very easily. We have not had a bag break yet a d we had the trash crusher since Christmas. We really like it.

I have not had this problem. I scoop mine every day as well, when I empty it completely, I clean it with a combination of water, lemon juice, vinegar and baking soda. I also have 2 litter boxes for my cat.

My older cat took to it really well. I put a little litter in the center at first, and she quickly converted over to the holder. Clean up is easy, and once I switched to just the pad (no litter with it), there was no litter mess tracked through the room. I changed it once a day.

I just use the liner and when I change the litter I throw away everything in a bag. The price is good and it is so easy.
