 150 dollars to waste November 19, 2008
This thing has not worked once. Something called "elite" and "advanced" should work at least sometimes. We paid full price for ours at local pet shop with unfriendly return policy. We are stuck with an overpriced plastic container with permanently blinking failure light.
Avoid at all costs November 14, 2008
My wife and I purchased one littermaid Elites with ionic air from Target to help with our two older cats. We had the first for about two weeks and were satisfied so we purchased another for our younger cats.
The littermaid is flawed on so many levels. The gears and the track that the gears ride on are made of cheap plastic and pop out of place, causing the track to run crooked and therefore not settle in the off position, leaving the machine to run back and forth until turned off.
This is also not a clean solution as the advertise. The will are far too low and the cats end up scattering litter everywhere. The suggested level of litter is too deep to allow the machine to work properly and yet too low for cats to feel comfortable using it, especially when you adjust the level so that the machine works. This low level of litter causes even more mess. Not to mention the mess associated with the disposal bin. I have come into contact with far more cat feces using this product than with years of old fashioned boxes. It furthermore wastes a great deal of very expensive litter in its cleaning process.
This is a cheap, poorly made product with a high price tag that should be pulled from the market.
noisy, poorly functional November 9, 2008
I have had Littermaid electric litterboxes for 8 years now (I have 4 cats,) one, still an original and still functioning. This one, however, is the worst. It is incredibly noisy, the metal tines don't pick up the litter, leaving little clumps everywhere, and the clumps end up behind the tines frequently. It also gets stuck on relatively small lumps. It also doesn't turn itself back on in the case of a power outage. (Found that out one smelly day.) Save money, buy the older model- mega- plastic tines and quieter!
Very Poor Quality October 30, 2008

I have had 3 Littermaid litter boxes. This model is the worst by far. One week and the motor was dead. Plus the receptacle goes under a few tabs that allows litter to fall underneath. They need to scrap this model. Another note is that the sleep timer isnt very adjustable because it automatically shuts the box off for 9 hours. Youre better off with your own timer you can get at the drug store for a few dollars.
 Great Product October 10, 2008
I was received this as a gift from my Aunt. She owns two cats, I have three hefty male cats.
When I got it, I said "Problems" to myself. It was one of those moments that the voices are talking to you...lol. I have a job that deals with to much high tech stuff all the time, but I did not want to offend my Aunt with not using it.
Everybody knows what a pain in the butt it is to change cat litter. Being a computer geek, I just thought to myself, "Ah, what another high tech thing to call tech support on".
Well, I filled the unit up with Makall Mimi Litter and got rid of the old cat boxes and figured this was going to be a disaster.
After a week of usage, it was flawless!!!! And one of my cats (Boots) d hop's into the unit, then hop's out and waits for the rakes to activate and watches it.
This contraption does work, and has really saved me alot of time and money. And, it is a sense of enjoyment watching Boots go downstairs just to activate it.
I was using the Makall Mini Litter which worked very well. I decided it is just a tad to expensive. I picked up a 14 box of Scoop Away, dumped the whole box in, and the rakes could not get through it. I took out half the stuff, and it works GREAT.
Two tips....
1. You do not have to buy the Receptacles. I just pull them out and dump out the contents into the garbage and put it back into the collector. Just wash your hands afterwards if you are inviting me over for dinner.
2. The rake got stuck tonight when it was going back to the original start position. I pulled the rake out, sprayed a little WD-40 on the plastic contacts, good to go.
3. Be carefull of cat amuzement.
This product has made my life so much easier.
I have seen so many complaints on this product, I just do not understand why? It's really strange. It really works well.
