I did at least as much work cleaning this box as I did with a standard box. My cats were willing to use the Littermaid 3rd Edition Multi-Cat, which more closely resembles a standard litter box than the Litter Robot, but the box played fast and loose with the concept of "self-cleaning." It left behind as many urine-soaked clumps as it filtered and half of those that made it out of the box got stuck to the rake or side, never actually landing in the waste disposal compartment. They were too intimidated by the peculiar shape and size of the litter box to use it. While the Litter Robot is beautifully designed and seemed to function well, I was not able to directly test it with my cats. The Petsafe Scoop Free was the only self-cleaning litter box we tested that met the needs of both my cats and myself. Buying the trays in bulk makes them more affordable. A single disposable tray costs almost $20 and must be replaced every two to four weeks, depending on the number of cats in the home. The litter is absorbent, produces almost no dust, and provides good odor control, but it's not cheap. Only one type of litter is compatible with the Petsafe Scoop Free, a proprietary blend of crystal cat litter. A health counter in the rim keeps track of how often your pet uses the box. Twenty minutes after they've exited, it automatically rakes solids across the tray and into the covered waste disposal compartment. The rim's sensor registers when a cat enters the litter box to do their business. Just place the rim on top of the tray and plug it in. It comprises two pieces: A 27.5-by-19-inch rim with a built-in safety sensor and rake, and a litter tray, which comes in either disposable or reusable form. The Petsafe Scoop Free resembles a standard litter box, and that's one of the primary reasons my cats were comfortable with it. Twenty minutes after a cat exits, the Petsafe Scoop Free Litter Box automatically rakes waste toward a compartment at the front of the box.
