LitterMaid Cat Privacy Tent Review

I agree completely with the other reviewers regarding the flimsy quality of the support posts for the tent. In addition, our zipper broke, and as the tent itself is plastic there was no easy way to simply replace the zipper without tearing up the tent itself.
I do disagree with those who say the tent is useless. Once you've gotten a feel for how much litter is "too much", you rarely have to actually see into the tent itself for anything other than adding litter. The only problems I've ever encountered were that our cat had decided to "prefer" one side over the other, resulting in a mountain of litter in one half of the box that the motor for the scoop just couldn't handle. After 3 or 4 retries, it just stops and waits for the next cycle. Such problems are easily resolved by taking our "old-fashoned" litter scoop and shoving the litter around, then switching the unit off and on again and seeing if the rake makes it through the cycle. None of this is impaired by the presence of the tent. Adding litter is a bit of a pain - it would help if there was a snapping flap of some sort on the top.
Meanwhile, the tent really does signifigantly improve the odor situation. But the most important thing, at least for our cat, is that without the tent she tends to ignore the ramp and jump out of the box directly, leading to litter all over the vicinity. The tent prevents this, and the carpeted ramp does a pretty good job of preventing litter from going everywhere.
We haven't found a good replacement for the tent yet, and I'm loathe to spend 30 bucks for such poor quality. But as I noted in my title, this is not a review of the actual littermaid system - We got ours almost 3 years ago and (tent issues aside) it's worked great! I'd hate to go back to scooping. One recomendation - use a plastic grocery store bag as a liner for the little plastic container, then just throw away the liner and stop buying new containers!

Vanity Litter Box made from recyclable material-Save our planet product approach Review

Vanity Litter Box made from recyclable material-Save our planet product approach

I've used it for almost a month now and my cats are still loving it. My floor has been clean the whole time. The box has a total of six perforated holes that you can choose to open. Two perforated holes on each side panels and two perforated holes on the front panel. The box can fit to almost anywhere. if you have a narrow space, you can cut the opening on the front or the side panels. The mess could not escaped when my cats digs and scratched the litter granules. In addition, I put a scratch pad on the pathway where it trapped the litter from my cat paws as my cat exited from the box. My cat also used it as a scratching pad. The shredded cardboard from the scratch pad stays inside the box as well so I hardly cleaned up my floor. This box is very economical compare to other litter box I've had. Everything is hidden; the litter pan and the mat which is the scratch pad. Great Product.
