LitterMaid Mega Series Automatic Self-Cleaning Cat Litter Box is the ultimate in convenience, eliminating the need for scooping. It contains a motion sensor that determines when your cats enter and leave, automatically scooping any messes into a sealed, disposable receptacle with carbon filters that absorb and trap offensive odors. The strong, durable rake can be removed for simple cleaning, and the extra-high side walls and paw-cleaning ramp help keep more litter in the box and off the floor. It plugs into standard wall outlets and even features backup battery power (requires 8 AA batteries, not included). You’ll get everything you need to get started—4 waste receptacles and 4 carbon filters that last approximately 3+ days each, and a scoop and rake cleaner.

Why is my rake stuck in the middle of the litter tray?
A waste clump or blockage is preventing normal operation. Follow the instructions from the above question and clear any blockages.
Why does my litter box not start cleaning 10 minutes after cat has left?
This can be cause by dust accumulating on the sensors that activate the cleaning cycle. These sensors are located at the center of both of the side walls of your litter box and activate a cleaning cycle if they detect motion for more than five seconds.
Wipe each sensor with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. Turn On/Off button to off. Turn On/Off button to on. Unit will run through a cleaning cycle.
Why does my rake not completely clean the litter box?
This can be caused by using the wrong type of litter (such as paper-based litter, pellets, or crystals) or by using a low-quality clumping litter. Check to make sure you are using only high-quality clumping litter. The rake will not work with other types of litter and may leave a tray unclean or only partially clean.
Why won’t my litter box operate after the On/Off button is pressed?
This is usually a power issue. Check to be sure that the outlet is working and/or that the batteries are charged and installed properly. If this is not the cause, your AC adapter may be faulty.
Why do waste clumps adhere to surface of the litter tray?
This may be a product of the type of litter you are using. Check to make sure your litter is a high-quality clumping litter. Also make sure litter is filled above the MIN Fill Line. This can also be caused by an unclean litter tray. Follow the instructions for cleaning the litter tray in your Use & Care manual.
If the problem still persists, it may be caused by too much saturation of the litter at one time. Cats may be going one after another in a multi-cat household or your cat may have a condition that causes excessive urination (often seen in cats with diabetes). Check to see how saturated the litter is getting after each cat in your house leaves. You may need to get an additional litter box or refill litter more often to avoid litter sticking to the tray.

Not a fan.
By Julia on Jun 2, 2022
I bought this litter box because I wanted an extra one so my older cats wouldn't have to walk as far to get to a box. The space wasn't big enough for the unit I wanted to put in there, so I opted for this one, hoping it would do the trick. I am disappointed enough that I am now in the process of a remodel of that room so I can put the litter box I actually want in there. Pros: it does have a rubber cover over the power switch, which is great for keeping that functional. I also like that it has a "clean" function that keeps the rake pulled forward so I can clean the back of the box out. The after-cat delay is 20 minutes, so the clay litter has plenty of time to soak up any liquids.The 6-foot I bought this litter box because I wanted an extra one so my older cats wouldn't have to walk as far to get to a box.

Despite having plenty of time to soak up all the liquids (and we're talking premium litter), the rake just cuts into the cakey clumps, and then those are stuck to the rake, or they fall apart halfway into the receptacle. The receptacles are convenient, but also expensive and they don't actually hold much. I keep seeing that they should last 3-4 days, but I only have two cats, and if I don't change the receptacle EVERY day, it overflows. Others have mentioned the poor design--litter getting into the tracks, the litter falling out between the receptacle and the lid, the fact that the rake doesn't actually go all the way to the bottom (or the back)--and I echo all of that. One thing I haven't seen is that the mechanisms are all made of plastic and click horribly when they encounter any resistance. I've had this box for over 6 months and I STILL think the plastic is breaking every time it runs. I can hear it downstairs from my bedroom, and it wakes me up at night. As others have said, it's actually more work to deal with this box than to just scoop a plain, un-automated box. Do not recommend. … more

Great service!
By Tanya on Jun 6, 2022
I bought one of these and it had issues. So, I contacted customer support, via message, at 10 pm and told them what happened with the new littermaid. I didn't think it would go anywhere, since that has been my experience in the past with offer suppliers. To my surprise, within 10 minutes, I had a reply and a new replacement was on it's way!! A week later, and new one here, I'm still in shock!! Thank you Chewy!!

Breaks easily
By Mick on Jun 20, 2022
We've gone through two of these litter boxes in 6 months, both worked for about 3 months before needing to be replaced. The rake stops running or it'll get stuck halfway through and then my cat can't even get inside the box. Nature's miracle automatic box worked well for almost 4 years before needing to be replaced.

Quit working after 3 months
By tsmith on Jun 11, 2022
I have only had for 3 months and it already not working right. It will not clean at all anymore. So back to scooping. The light is on but the thing that scoops the litter will not move. Plus every since I got it. It tends to scoop all the litter to one side of the tray so wasting over half of the litter. Guess I will be asking for a refund.

Works half the time.
By Jend on May 31, 2022
For the money it should work better than it does. It’s not dependable and gets stuck every other time. Sometimes it will run 4 times before stopping. Our cat pees at the back of the box and it gets stuck in the grate. I still have to scoop the box and dump the tray every day. Otherwise it starts to smell after a couple days.

Stopped Working
By LitterMaid3Edition on Apr 21, 2022
I had the Litter Maid 1st edition for many years with 1 cat. Probably about 8 yrs & it started to slow down. I knew it was probably time to replace it. I loved it. So, I decided to upgrade to the newest model. It just froze & stopped working after 5 weeks. I had finally gotten around to looking at it & cleaning it out really good, 2 weeks after that. (I am a very busy woman & that is why I have the self cleaning box in the first place). After it was all clean, I plugged it back in & it would just freeze after it dumped. Since then I have cleaned it again & plugged it in with no litter & it sounds horrible & still freezes. I am very disappointed since it cost so much & I do not know how to return I had the Litter Maid 1st edition for many years with 1 cat. Probably about 8 yrs & it started to slow down.

Not worth the trouble
By Josie on May 7, 2022
This litterbox is not worth the trouble and has to many design flaws to be worth the price. Litter gets stuck in the grate and on the track that requires extra cleaning along with having to empty the compartment it dumps into has gaps and always spills litter down the sides, it just adds extra work on top of scooping. Its does not make cleaning easier as intended because it adds so many extra divets and spots for litter to spill and get caked in, it just creates a mess. They also break really easily and I've only had it 5 months, the piece on the track no longer works and won't position right, so its now useless. Do not buy this box, it only adds to the frustration of having to cleaning out a This litterbox is not worth the trouble and has to many design flaws to be worth the price.

Littermaid
By Missy on May 11, 2022
This box is awful! I purchased it to save myself time and to make cleaning easier. I now spend more time cleaning this box than I ever did with a regular litter box. It gets stuck at the end by the receptacle every single time it runs. The rake doesn't go down far enough and the motor isn't strong enough to pull it up to dump into the receptacle. As a result of its poor cleaning, the cat pee accumulates in the litter and it's like trying to scoop cement. I'm using the recommended "premium" litter. Solid waste gets stuck in the rake constantly. It makes a bigger mess than my regular box and is much more time consuming to deal with.

Waste of money
By Winter on May 13, 2022
I bought this product Feb 2022 doesn't work. The machine has struggled since I bought it. Thought it was going to make my life & my two cats life easier wrong. I was better off scooping the little out of the cat litter box myself. I wasted over $110, because now it doesn't work at all. The rake getting stuck is the first signs that this machine is going bad. The second is the noise it makes gets louder & louder every time it self cleans. Third is doesn't work. Save your money do it the old fashion way or spend the $400-$700 if you want a good self cleaning cat litter box.
