LitterMaid Cat Privacy Tent Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)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!

ScoopFree Automatic Litter Box Privacy Hood Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)First, crystal litter is the best I've used. All other litters track more and create much more dust. Note that I have tried all litter incuding Worlds best cat litter ect. So, I was looking for an automatic litter box that could use crystal litter. Since I had a gift certificate, I figured I would try this box. After two months I am still not disappointed. The engineering and design are excellent. You replace the entire bottom of the litter box, which is made out of cardboard, every time you change the litter. No mess or cleaning of the mechanism necessary. I know that there have been complaints about soggy cartridges. Well, my cartidges have a thin sheet of plastic on the bottom (they all do now). This has the dual effect of helping the mechanism slide and preventing my cat, who is a digger, from tearing through the bottom of the litter box. My cat loves to drink, pee and dig and I have not had any soggy litter box problem. In addition, the rake goes in both directions which insures an even spread of litter.
Although the cartidges my be pricey, I feel they are well worth it. I change a cartidge every two weeks. In addition, I got the hood which fits great and helps reduce litter spreading.
