I purchased this product about 3 weeks ago. My 6 month old kittens were a little scared (hence, scardy cats!) and just sniffed at it for a couple of days and would just jump in and out for a week. When they finally decided to use it, it was all good. I still have their old box next to it until they are totall acclamated to the Scooper. It's a quiet machine. Like the customer before me, I clean out the box (those liners are expensive) and refill with Scoop Away crystals. All is good in the Smokee & Spookee household!

We switched from Litter Maid to Ultra Scoop Free and even though its not 100% its a step up from Litter Maid. With two cats, we find that changing the litter tray every 2 weeks works best. Saving money on receptacle and litter is an added bonus. We simply order the litter trays in advance so we have 3 months supply at all times. One complaint that comes to mind is that cleaning the rake is not easy since it is not removable. It would be nice if this was sorted out with the research and development team.

You'll get more satisfaction taking a hundred dollar bill and buring it.
The cats saw this litter system as a threat. The scooping tynes would get bent out of shape. The cardboard cartridge would leak through all the time. The crystals have all the absorbancy and odor control of sheetmetal, and on top of that, the replacements were more expensive than any other litter product and only last half as long.
The cherry on top? The cats would only pee or scat outside what they were supposed to while using this machine, never before and never after. This machine is a scam. Please save yourself the suffering and DO NOT BUY IT.

I had really high hopes for this litter box, and I went to a lot of trouble to try to make it work, but in the end, I went back to a normal litter box, and I am much happier. The main problem with this litterbox is the terrible smell which develops within days -- we have one 13 pound adult cat, and I was taking apart the box and scooping out the solid waste every two days or so to fight the terrible odor. The litter should have been switched out at the end of the first week, but since I was expecting it to last 4 weeks (or at the very least, 3), I stretched it to two weeks. Then, not only did I switch out the litter, but I got a Febreeze odor remover, decided to pay an arm and a leg to replace the litter once a week going forward, contacted the company for recommendations, and looked through the reviews for advice. The company that makes the litter box told me that I was obviously feeding my cat low quality food and recommended that I switch to something more expensive -- I was actually in the process of transitioning my cat to a premium cat food recommended by our vet, but I found their tone a little irritating. Looking through the reviews, I saw some posts about adding a little Arm and Hammer litter to the crystals to absorb odor, so I got some and mixed a little in. Even with all that, there was very little improvement -- I still had to pull apart the litter box (not convenient!)and scoop the poop every couple of days or give up the use of the first floor of the house. After about three days, again the smell was terrible -- far worse than any other regularly maintened litter box that I have ever had. I was mortified at the thought of having anyone over to our house, so after three weeks, I switched back to our old basic litter box with Arm and Hammer litter. What sweet relief! I (easily) scoop it out once a day, and when we have people over they comment on how there is no "cat smell." A few other things to note, though they aren't really deal breakers -- the crystal litter is a mix of blue and clear -- after the cat pees, you have a much less pretty blue and piss yellow/green mix, and since I had finished off an amazon.com giftcard purchasing the Scoopfree litter box, the selling company said they could only refund "what I had really paid" (aka not the $20 from the giftcard). Thankfully, amazon.com is great, and even though it was technically outside of their refund window, they agreed to a full refund when I contacted them. Maybe someday I will try an automatic litter box again, but it will definitely not be a ScoopFree!

Best thing since sliced bread. I was very weary of trying automatic litter boxes since I'd heard of them having lots of mechanical problems. But a friend was using this and highly recommended it. I've had it for a month now and am soooooo happy with it. My cat took to it right away and had no problems switching from her old box of regular litter to this new box with crystals instead. I have not even seen the poop the whole time I've had it!!
The cat goes in the box, and once she is out the sensor knows to sweep the crystals. It waits 20 minutes and then does a full sweep forward and back pushing any "tootsie rolls" into the compartment in the front (that is covered). If she were to go back in there during the 20 minute wait period it would reset the clock and start the countdown again once she leaves. After 3-4 weeks I replaced the bottom cartridge holding the crystals with a new one. Very easy and very quick and MUCH MUCH cleaner than the old litter box. The crystals don't track around the house as much as the litter does. And no more litter dust!
I'd say the motor isn't exactly quiet but it is not too terribly loud either.
Their website has a replacement crystal try subscription service which is convenient. They send you the replacements at whatever interval you want.
This is also fantastic for pregnant women who are advised not to handle dirty cat litter (due to fear of toxoplasmosis).
