ScoopFree Original Automatic Cat Litter Box

I’ve never owned a cat before but I have taken care of people (and their cats) so I KNEW I didn’t want a litter I had to clean. This is SO simple. It was so easy to put together and my new kitty used it without any coaching (although I did lock her in the room with it for 24 hrs) Cleaning it makes me want to cry bc it’s SO EASY!!! You legit put the lid on it, I tape the sides, and then put it in the trash. And slide a new pan with litter in. The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is bc when she uses the bathroom (before it cleans itself after 20 min) the smell is HORRID! I wish it didn’t wait 20 min to clean bc she uses it often and those 20 min are not fun. Outside of that though.. this I’ve never owned a cat before but I have taken care of people (and their cats) so I KNEW I didn’t want a litter I had to clean. This is SO simple.

This product is definitely worth the money. This is 22 days and I probably won’t change it for a few more. My cat loves it, and we absolutely love it. There is no smell when he goes to the bathroom.and our room does not smell like cat box. You got to buy this product.

This was my first purchase of an automatic scooping litter box. My expectations were high. 1. It was difficult to take out of the box and set up - took some wrangling. 2. The crystals and the cardboard trays are not cheap and you cant use regular clumping litter instead. 3. The cardboard trays are coated in wax? so they don't absorb liquids, so the urine stays in the box in the bottom of the crystals, it turns them from blue to green. 4. The urine smell is still present so my finicky old cat doesn't like it and pees outside the box. The only upside to this unit is it is big enough for the cat to get in and do their business. It has a nice night light. The scoop mechanism does work This was my first purchase of an automatic scooping litter box. My expectations were high. 1.

It has a nice night light. The scoop mechanism does work ok but it only scoops the solids, not the urine. It traps the good litter behind the scoop arm and you have to fish it out, I'm still having to manually remove the wet crystals daily. That defeats the whole purpose of an automatic unit,. The crystals also get outside the box and on the floor if you step on them they hurt, like hard chunky pieces of glass,, and can scratch hardwood floors,, … more

We have two kittens.... I ordered this box hoping that it would make my life easy, and keep odors to a minimum. WRONG!!! It ran the rake (that is supposed to push poop into the closed box front) through poop that was too fresh, and created this nasty poop covered metal grate. There was always cat poop stuck in the grate and exposed to the air, so the smell was awful. So disappointed. Maybe for a single cat, or an older cat? Not for us. Oy! Worst money ever spent!!!! Walk away right meow!

A friend recommended it, I thought it was expensive for a cat box, but my son never cleans the old one which needs cleaning every other day and I always have to yell about it, ugh! It was very easy to set up, and i changed the tray after 2 weeks but it really could have gone 3-4 more, the crystals seem to shrink down the poop and no more heavy clumps of pee because the crystals absorb it too. So no more smell, no more seeing a dirty letter box. Very happy, I actually thought it ran on batteries because the videos did not show a cord, but it worked out.

I honestly really like it bc I don’t have to ever clean it. We had it for almost 5 months and I have only two issues with it. The first one is that the odor is REAL. I can smell everything my cat does and I know that other people have issues with it too. But the main issues is that those crystals get all over my apartment. I find them in my couch, my bed, floor and around the litter box. I put a mat under the box but it does nothing. The crystals are all around the litter box area. If someone struggles with the same issue, please help me to find a solution!

The motor stalled frequently, because it couldn't drive the rake over liter piles that are typical of what cats do. Very unreliable as an automatic liter box that jams every day. It stopped working at only 11 months. The liter is expensive and only last 2 weeks if that. This could be a good product if the motor was sized properly. I do not recommend this product.

I got this in hoping to make my life easier with the self cleaning feature and even bought the hood to go over it to make it more appealing. The SMELL is SO BAD. When I had just a basic litter box with clay litter there was NO smell but with this litter box I cannot stand the smell of cat pee and poo. It does nothing to cover it. I have tried everything from odor absorbers to room fresheners and nothing makes the smell go away. Not worth it, and they trays don't last as long as they say. Very disappointed.

This litter box worked wonderfully while it did work. We didn't originally realize that it doesn't run right away, but that the pee/poo needs to be "dried out" first and then it runs. It's really convenient, and worked well. Unfortunately, after about 7 weeks, it sounds like it's trying to run, but the rake just won't move anymore.

To start, this litter box is a dream! It’s easy to assemble, low maintenance and tells you how many times your cat has used it. My reasoning for the two stars... since I bought it almost 3 months ago, my two cats have only stepped foot in it 5 times. There is nothing noisy that scares them, I think they just know that it’s different because of the crystal litter and they refuse to use it. I have two other plain litter boxes in the house that we clean regularly. Our perfect combo ended up compromising to add a pretty cabinet with a regular litter box inside. I’m bummed because this was a really expensive litter box and now it’s just a really expensive floor ornament.
