ScoopFree Covered Automatic Self-Cleaning Cat Litter Box

I bought this unit June 2020 and in August 2021 it stopped working. I have reset it, cleaned it thoroughly and made sure it was put together properly. Still not working. There is a 1 year limited warranty on these and you have to register them within 30 days of purchase and keep the receipt. Even still it would not have mattered, because it was just past the one year mark. It worked great up until it didn't. It just sucks to pay $200 for something and only get to use it for 14 months. I have 2 cat boxes for my 3 cats, so this one was only used half the time. It was @ 1,000 scoops give or take, before it went out. I reset it to zero, power works, the scooper will not move.

It's like the arm is broke internally or something. So if you are okay with spending $200 to get 1,000 scoops, then go for it. I am going back to regular liter and scooping. Much cheaper and less issues. … more

Going on 3 months with this box. We actually have 2 of them, and between them we’ve gone through 7 tray refills. We have 2 kittens. I try to get the rake count up to the 70s before swapping the tray, but it’s pretty gross by that time. I noticed that my cats will often use the box, one right after the other, so the usage count would actually be twice as high. It’s not scoop free. The poop has to be scooped or else it is extremely stinky after a few days. Overall I really like this system, but if I could change two things, I would like for the pee to clump and end up in the trap, and I would like the trap to be easier to clean out, without completely disassembling the unit.

We bought Scoop Free back in February of 2021. For the most part, it's a life saver because you don't have to clean the cat box every day. The issues that causes problems are as follows: 1. It's NOT completely track free. 2. Its collection area seems to be too small to hold ALL of the cat's business. The MGF. recommended to change the TRAY every 30 days for one cat, but unfortunately, I have to change the TRAY every 21 days. Our cat must be a very healthy cat(13 years old) because she makes a lot of business. 3. There is an order that comes from the Scoop Free box. A person must be able to adjust to compensate for the above issues. I believe that Pet Safe We bought Scoop Free back in February of 2021.

This product in theory is great. However, the crystal litter doesnt last nearly as long as they advertise. 1 month for 1 cat is a joke. Considering 1 cat uses litter box 1~3 times a day, there is no way this will last After 20~30 uses, the litter is mostly soaked yellow with urine. At about 40 uses, my cat refuses to use it. Besides, leaving poo for a month with a light plastic cover on they tray is a extremely bad idea. You will end up scooping every week anyway. Might as well stick with cheap litter and box.

Adding my input because there aren’t many reviews out there that address clumping litter. I bought this and my cats refused to use the crystal litter. They didn’t seem too like the feeling on their feet and went back to our other box with clay. We bought the reusable pan and use scoopfree clumping clay litter. We have no issues using clumping litter. Every 2-3 days we clear out the clumps that accumulate, then we scrub the pan and take clean when we switch litter. Don’t worry if you are trying to switch to crystal and your cats hate it! You can still use your normal litter.

The good news is that poo is moved to a covered area as advertised. However the crystals are not stirred enough to spread out the pee from a 6 month old cat. The crystals for one cat only last about a week. It still gets stinky. I have to clean out the covered area where the poo is every few days and stir the remaining crystals to get them to absorb pee for a few more days.

I bought this last year I believe. It is a game changer. It works without fail. I keep one more traditional litter box that is oval and top entry. Cats use each box. It’s much easier to only clean the other one every other day. I change this one after about 30- 33 uses. My cats enjoy sitting and watching it rake. The fresh boxes are pricey but I don’t care. It makes my life much easier and keeps one litter box area so much nicer. It has easy entry and plenty of room for my older larger senior cat. My friend got it first and recommended it. I did recently adopt a younger cat who gave birth 8 weeks ago. She leaves behind softer stools that get stuck in the rake. I have to manually clean that but I bought this last year I believe.

Would definitely buy again after observing how great it’s been for almost a year … more

Now that my cat had used it for several months, it isn't as great as I had hoped. It needs to have the poop removed weekly if you don't want it to stink and grow mold. The pee doesn't clump and get removed, so the box starts to stink. The whole box needs to be changed no more than every 25 uses.

The biggest expense with this box is the cat litter- about six times as expensive the ordinary pine litter we use. The box works as it should but for more than one or perhaps two cats it is not worth the expense. Yes the rake works but dumps the waste in to the end of the box where it needs to be scooped at least every couple of days if not daily. Unfortunately this box is more difficult to clean than an ordinary box. The crystal litter makes a mess on the floor and hurts to step on. Pass this by if you have more than one cat,

I bought this item because of all the hype and great feedback from online that I saw and wanted something that would take the hassle away. Well this was not it! I would not recommend this to anyone!!!! 1. The trays themselves are expensive to refill and hard to find in stock most the time in my area 2. It doesn’t work like it shows. My cat likes to burry everything and this was just getting stuck and stopping when the rake would come through it! So it would just stop in the middle and not do what it’s intended. My cat couldn’t even use the bathroom because the thing was in the way! I would just find something else or stick to the manual one because this was not what I expected!
