ScoopFree® Self-Cleaning Litter Box Review

Nov '06--My cat is a 13 pounder, poops about 5 times a day--and boy does it stink! I feel that cleaning a cat box several times a day is a real pain, but then so is cleaning it up off the basement rug every day if I dont clean the box soon enough for "his highness"!This thing is GREAT!Ok, I've only had it for 5 days now, and it specifically says on the box that for larger cats or multiple cats, the cartrige will NOT last 30 days--the container is full (like I said, he poops A LOT) BUT!! I really dont mind taking the scoop and scooping out the container once a week--I have to do this because replacement cartriges are $15 or so (that's the really bad part) I still have to see if it will take all his urine for 30 days, but in the mean time: The smell is gone, he doesnt track litter everywhere (I used clumping before and he left a real mess--along with the smell) just a few of the crystals get on the floor, I dont have to clean the box daily (as well as the basement carpet), and it works.One thing to note, I did not realize how BIG the thing is, and I also didnt think about plugging it in--so you may have to revise where you put it.Also, it's not perfect--some of the poop got behind the rake, and got stuck, but whoopie, no big deal to take a piece of toilet paper, and pull it off. I may look into reusing cartriges (waxed cardboard boxes with scoop free crystals dumped into it) and adding crystals from a bottle, but that may not be possible, because waxed cardboard can only take so much wetness--but that may be an option. I think a bottle of the stuff is around $15 too, but you may get 2 or 3 uses out of it, rather than just the one.

**update**1 1/2 months--I still love it. It lasts about 14 days, with a once per week clean out of the poop trap. The crystals never smells like urine, but there is a smell after that amount of time (big cat).cant use a litter liner as the rake can get stuck--or kitty's nails, so I'm still working on a way to refill more cheaply--but no more "accidents" on the carpet.

Odor Control
Fresh Step Crystals stop odors five times better than clay and clumping litter. They absorb urine on contact and dry solid waste to reduce odor. The covered waste compartment locks in odor and leaves litter smelling clean and fresh. Crystal litter offers the benefits of low tracking, is 99% dust-free, and you need 5 to 10 times less of it than clay and clumping litter, so it's earth-friendly and lightweight. Replace the trays at least once every 20-30 days for one cat, every 10-15 days for 2 cats, every 7-10 days for 3 cats. More than 1 box is recommended if you have more than 2 cats.


Size
The box's exterior dimensions are 7 inches high, 19 inches wide, and nearly 27.5 inches long. The litter area is a 14-by-14-inch square.
