Ugh! When I think about the reviews I have read about LitterMaid boxes, I squirm in discomfort. They are not good. This post will give you a good idea of what the reviews are saying and where to go to get more information.
LitterMaid began selling self cleaning boxes a while ago. I believe (but have not been able to confirm) they might have been one of the first manufacturers to do so. This tells us a few things.
Firstly, their customers initially were extremely loyal. After all, what were they comparing LitterMaid against? Manually cleaning the litter box, of course. If the LitterMaid broke down here and there or had to be cleaned often, it was still much better than the manual alternative to some people. In addition, the earlier LitterMaid boxes were more reliable than the current ones today.
Here is a LitterMaid review from Amazon that illustrates these claims. It is from a customer who bought the LitterMaid Elite 9000. They claimed the earlier boxes were reliable with some breakdowns, but these newer ones were not at all reliable. “I'm not sure what they were thinking when they "improved" the LitterMaid. We had a model purchased in 2005 and absolutely loved it. It would occasionally clog but once a week manual scooping wasn't too bad.”
Today LitterMaid reviews indicate extensive maintenance problems. I bought instead a Litter Robot, which got pretty good reviews, to avoid these reported breakdowns. However, that box too broke down within two months of use.
I believe much of the breakdowns of the LitterMaid and similarly conceptualized designs have to do with clumping litter. There are two automatic litter boxes out on the market that do not use clumping litter. They introduce revolutionary approaches to litter box automation.
The ScoopFree litter box (priced in line with LitterMaid boxes) is based on a different form of litter which does not clump, called crystal silica. This box gets great reviews, reporting high reliability, especially if used with a permanent litter tray.
The CatGenie (entry price more expensive than the LitterMaid) is another box worth exploring. It actually flushes clean with water like a human toilet. I have found, however, that users do complain of some breakdowns.
The choice is yours. To learn more about self cleaning litter boxes go to LitterMaid reviews.
