What about the pee clumps that stick to the bottom of the litter box that practically have to be chiseled out. Does this remove those?

SmartSift takes the chore out of litter maintenance by eliminating the need to scoop. However, as with any cat pan, it will need to be maintained. Even with maintenance, there may be some particles that get caught in the grate; a simple tapping of the cat pan should knock them off. The SmartSift unit is extremely easy to take apart and clean.

Can I use any type of litter? And does the bags come with it or do I have to buy the bags?

For best results, use a quality clumping litter with this litter box. This litter pan comes with an integrated carbon filter and 2 liners. The Catit Hooded Cat Pan Replacement Carbon Filters and Catit Design SmartSift Biodegradable Replacement Liners are optional.

I get the liner in the bottom but where is the second and is it really needed? I don't use liners in my two boxes now due to my cats have claws and would tear it up anyone. Plus one has pica and likes to chew plastic.

The liner is intended for the basket that holds the used litter.

Would I still be able to use the litter box pee pads that I currently use, or would the softer interfere with it?

Handle pops off.

The handle on the litter box pops off all the time. It is a pain to use.

My cat is 16 pounds and wants her litter CLEAN all the time. This is the 3rd litter box we tried with her and I love it. When she uses the box, I wait a few minutes then dump the waste. I agree the handle could be a little sturdier, but we've used it for several months, no problem. This box makes my cat happy (clean litter) and me happy (easy cleaning). We use kitchen garbage bags in the drawer, and empty it regularly.

I have a large 15 pound cat and when she would use this litter box her weight kept disconnecting the handle after a year or so of using it we no longer can because the handle will no longer stay in place. I might try again with our new kitten but I'm not sure.

After reading the reviews on this, I decided to go ahead and try it. It works EXACTLY how it's supposed to!! Yes occasionally you have to reach in with a scoop to knock a clump into the bin and yes sometimes a cat pees right at the grate but it's fairly easy to unstick. I went from letting my box go for to long to pushing the handle and getting rid of the clumps 2 times a day! As for putting it together I honestly didn't even have to look at the instructions. So far I have nothing negative to say about this box. The cats both love it and I love it! Take the risk and buy this box.

I have a 18 lb cat (don't judge me) and a 9 lb cat. Both use it without difficulty. The big cat won't fit in any of the motorized litter bins so I was about to give up my search. Then, I found this little gem of a litter box. I would change the entry point- but honestly?.....it works (drop the mic).

We used this for 2 weeks and had to throw it away! We followed the instructions as per litter, and this box is flimsy to roll back and forth, the handle feels like it may break on first and subsequent uses. The sifter is not sturdy and collapses on each roll. It could use an extra sealed edge around the gap from top to main compartment as pee just goes through the gap. It is difficult to remove bags to replace them. Also, replacement bags are not available unless you special order them from France. All in all I cannot give this any stars at all. Certainly not worth any of the $65 paid for it.

I love this box, if you put the correct amount of litter in it works great, i do wish it was a tad bit bigger but my 2 cats use it just fine. The handle is a little finicky i had it taped on for months and it didn't effect how the box worked at all and i now just have ut superglued in place! Super easy fix i just wish it was made to me screwed on!

I was super excited to get this litter box bc i hated having to clean and scoop poop all the time. It took awhile to get used to putting the box together. But when you dump it, all the litter basically just sticks to the liner in the box. It’s inevitable to stick bc the box doesn’t hold enough litter for the cats to dig and everything not stick to the bottom. Ive tried a lot of different clumping litters too but it hasn’t helped with anything. I’ve wasted a lot of litter bc if you over fill, when you dump it, all the clean litter just falls to the waste bin. Also the odor control is awful. I’ll clean out the waste and change the filter and everything and it still smells awful. It’s super hard to clean too.

I spend far more time cleaning this litter box than I ever did with the standard litter box and the odor control is a joke.. after the price I paid, I hate to just toss it.. but would highly recommend just sticking to a standard. The urine just sticks and has to be scraped and I dump it multiple times each day.

I've had this litter box for several months now. I have a large adult male cat, and female kitten. Both are able to use it without difficulty. I don't use the litter pan liner, as my cats just scratch it up, and honestly the liner was more of a hassle than it was worth. The type of litter you use also makes a huge difference in how well it works. If you don't have a GOOD clumping litter, the urine can and will stick to the sides. I love how easy it is to sift out the dirty litter, and because of this my litter box gets cleaned several times a day. It does say the bin can hold 2 weeks worth of litter, and it does, but the smell gets pretty rough after a few days. All in all, I'm very happy and will most likely purchase one for my mom when they are available
