I didn’t like the litter genie because of the water connection required and I feel that that has more room for problems that I can’t easily fix. I saw an ad on Facebook for the LR and so I did more research. I had been thinking about the “Breeze” system and realized that wasn’t going to work for us because I have a snooty kitty that likes to shoot for the moon when he pees. When I got mine last year, I had 2 cats and worked 12 hour days. Their second and third options are currently Scoop Free, but they never touch them anymore since the LR. I'm actually considering a second one as you're supposed to give cats more than one litter box option. Time savings + happier cats + no smells = game changer for us.įor us, the price was definitely worth it and would buy it again if it ever broke down. The Litter Robot sends me a notification about every 3 days that the drawer is full, which takes about 5 minutes to address, or about 50 minutes a month. I used to scoop 3 litter boxes daily, at an average of 5 minutes = 2.5 hours a month of scooping. All 3 cats took to it after several days, as they were probably relieved (no pun intended) to have real litter vs crystals again. Litter Robot - I got a refurbished Connect on a whim after seeing a commercial last fall, and wasn't sure what to expect based on my past failed investments. Expensive too if you're replacing with cartridges vs buying the reusable pan.

Scoop Free - better than Litter Maid, but the cats never got used to the special crystals and would go outside the box from time to time. The frequently clogged rake and falling off lids blocking the receptacle created more messes and smells than they solved. Litter Maid - tried that one 15+ years ago, so they may be better now. The Litter Robot is the only one that actually delivered on the promises of time savings and no smells, at least for this cat household. We've tried several different automatic litter boxes over the many years of having cats, and kept going back to the regular boxes as the automatic ones usually created more work and smelled worse than just scooping yourself.
