My last cat passed away and he loved the Litter Robot (well, I loved it and he used it). When I went and adopted a kitten he wanted nothing to do with it. The noise and the closed space really scared him.

What I did was I put a traditional litter box next to the Litter Robot and unplugged it. I let him use the regular litter box but never cleaned it. It got full and soon he started to explore the LR which of course was clean. Soon he started using the LR and I would cycle it when he wasn't around. Then he started using the LR exclusively and would even sit and watch it cycle after he was done.

Now, a year later all is well and he uses it all the time. I only have to change the trash bag once a week, even longer if I have to. It really is a set it up and forget it product.

I tried tidy cat, fresh step and cat attract and the cat still would not use the litter box. I was about to give up when I went to kroger and bought the cedar fresh with cat attract in it made by ultra-pet. So I took it home and put it in the litter box and to my surprise- the cat used the box. Im am so happy and I'm not going to return the litter box.

Thanks,

I LOVE THIS PRODUCT.

I spend months trying to train my young cat with the Litter Kwitter toilet training system. After a ton of time cleaning up after misfires using very expensive solution for cat urine, I decided to explore another option. I came across this product and line.

This is where I should have spend my time and money in the first place (actually, no time was involved in making this switch). The trial period was a big selling point for me so I took the leap. What did I have to lose? I am so glad a trial period was offered or I would have never spend that kind of money on a litter box and my home would still smell like a litter box.

I highly recommend this system and if it doesn't work for your cat like it did for mine, simply return it. I am considering purchasing one for my cat loving mother for Christmas (some gift, huh...a litter box?? but she would love it)!!!

My wife and I recently purchased your product after getting tired of replacing our littermaid every year for the past two years at a $100.00 a pop. I didn't even know your product existed until I researched online for something different.

I have to admit it was a little pricey for a pooper scooper but after watching several videos of it doing its thing online and reading a boatload of positive customer reviews I was sold especially with the 60 day money back guarantee and the 18 month warranty I figured to let the cats give it a try.

We have two cats ones a domestic and the other is a siamese. When I received it and got it together, Midnight our domestic cat couldn't wait to get in it and do his business. Now Andy on the other hand was a little skittish at first and only wanted to pee in it and poop on the step going in to it. So I cut it off for a couple of days so he could get better aquatinted with it and, low and behold - it worked and he started pooping on the inside of it .

Now its on automatic and it works like a charm -as for as pooper scoopers go .All in all were pretty impressed it so for -money well spent!!!

Dear Litter Robot People:

We are thrilled with our robot and even more thrilled with your customer service. We had a problem 3 days ago and I called and left a message.

I really never expected a call back so quickly and was even more delighted that the person on the phone knew exactly what to do and even more, guessed the cause of the problem. Our parts arrived today and in 5 minutes were were up and running again.

Nowadays most companies don't even return your call, let alone have someone who actually knows the product and how to solve the problem.

I congratulate you for running a superb business and making a well thought out product.

Sincerely,
Dan

Over three month ago we received our Robo. Not one glitch, not one hangup, not one malfunction. Two cats, we empty twice a week - though I think it could be emptied once - but the Boss sayeth twice.

Buddy our larger cat went into it immediately and both cats watched it like a TV for several days then lost interest when it would cycle. Abby preferred her old box for about two weeks, then she decided she too would use the new Magic Box. Now life is Grand and so easy.

We tried two other brands in the past, and they were always jamming up and you had to clean the rakes which would break the clumps apart. Robo does it perfect. I haven't even cleaned the top section since we received it. but I don"t feel bad because it is not dirty in any way.

Thanks for a great product.

I have two Litter Robots and now I have just ordered my third unit after rescuing another cat. This is the most amazing litter box ever…!

What a wonderful invention.

April 2, 2008

Good morning,

I am soooooooooo happy with the litter robot. I can't believe how well it works. It took our cats and kitten less then a week to get everyone to use it. I have one cat (which was a ferial) that loves to stand on the step and watch it go around.

For more than 20 years we always had ten to twelve cats at home and the same amount of little boxes which were a pain to keep clean. Everyone called our house cat central so if you found a lost kitty it came to our house. I just wish I knew about this litter robot earlier. Life would have been so easy thank you thank you for this great invention. I tell everyone who has a kitty they should send for one.

We have two cats in our house that use the same box, so it “piles” up pretty quickly.

I have asthma which is accentuated by my cats and their litter, leaving only my wife to clean the litterbox.

I felt bad for her, as sometimes she did not have the time to clean the litterbox after every cat visit, which would lead to me breaking out in hives and my breathing would get difficult.

I searched the internet for an automated litterbox, but my wife was skeptical, as one of her friends used to have the automated rake type boxes that just didn’t do the job right all the time, because the rake would get coated in wet litter which would lead to the mechanism getting jammed. I found the litter-robot website and showed my wife the video on how it worked. She didn’t like it, mainly because she thought the cats could get stuck inside or it was probably made cheaply and the price was too high. I tried to convince her that the it was safe because of the sensors and that it seemed to be made well, plus, we would save money from not having to lose as much litter as we do when scooping… she still said no.

I went behind her back, like any caring husband would and placed the order for the litter-robot (when it became available in Canada). When I brought it home, my wife was upset; until, that is, when I set it up (Which was as simple as putting the round part on the base and pushing a button). Our cats took to it immediately, which was a relief, and we put it to work right away.

One year later, our litter-robot is still working hard doing the dirty work and my wife could not be happier.

I would recommend the Litter-Robot to anyone who owns a cat. In my house, it is an irreplaceable appliance that needs little attention and time, but returns so much.

Now, if they would make one for dogs….

Thank you so much for such an incredible appliance.

Kind Regards,

This is BY FAR the best invention ever created. We just purchased out litter robot at the beginning of March and we love it. We have 3 cats (2 adults, 1 kitten). Our oldest took to it like a fish to water. The other adult & kitten were a little hesitant at 1st but after about 2 days it was no issue. I followed the directions in the book on how to get your cats accustomed to the unit and now everyone is on board!

My husband & I used to scoop daily and fully change 2 litter boxes weekly (even though you can let it go for a month). Now, we change the bag 2x per week, wash the tray once & let the litter robot do the rest. I'll say it again.... this is by far the best invention ever created. It's cleaner, healthier and a time saver. I also don't have to keep several litter boxes anymore. Worth the cost!!! You guys should develop one of those 'priceless' commercials.

Cat adoption fee $100.00
Cat litter $11.99
Cat food $ 9.99
Litter Robot...never having to scoop poop again: PRICELESS !

Thanx guys, great job!

I bought a litter robot in December of 2007. I loved it immediately, but one of my two cats refused to take to it. Eloise started urinating in my office, on her scratching post etc. and she was doing other things too. After much frustration, I called the support center who recommended 'cat attract' litter. I tried this, and it wasn't enticing enough for my little Eloise.

In the end, I outsmarted my cat by bringing back her old litter box. At first I placed it directly next to the litter robot. Then I moved it across from the litter robot. Then I gradually increased the height of the old litter box so that it was the same height as the litter robot. After many weeks, I kept increasing the height of the old litter-box so that it was extremely hard for her to get to. Then I put a step (a shoebox) on the litter robot. Now both of my cats use it and I am really happy. I hope someone else may benefit from this method of 'training'.

BTW. I LOVE the litter robot. It's the best electric litter-box I have had. Previously, I tried several of the litter maid--but the motors kept dying within 6 months. I also tried the Purr-forma. It was a messy nightmare and took up so much space.

Warm regards,
Agnes

Hello,

I wanted to share how VERY happy I am with your product, the Litter Robot!! I initially purchased another automatic litter box that only used crystal litter. What a huge mistake that was because the smell was unbearable, the cat urine was soaking wet in the bottom of the tray. So, I returned it and then did my homework. Should have done more research to begin with but with a multiple cat household (3 kitties), I really wanted to stop being a slave to the litter box and knew that I wanted an automatic litter box.

Well, the Litter Robot is just the best!!! I was hesitant because of the price, but it is well worth every penny. In fact, I think it will save me a lot of money because you use a lot less litter. And, best of all, you can use regular clumping litter, not that super-expensive crystal litter. For anyone with a muli-cat household, this Litter Robot is a must. You will be so happy you own one. Even for a single cat, it would be ideal. You simply just open the drawer and tie up the bag of waste and pop in a new plastic garbage bag and your done!!

My cats adjusted without any problem and because they share a litter box, they seem to like having a fresh box to step into each time they use it. Thank you for such a great product - I will always have a Litter Robot in my home!!

This litter box is one of the best investments in pet products we have made. With four large cats we were scooping our old box every day, now it is simply changing a bag every other day. After a short adjustment period, where they learned it wasn't the new place to hang out, it's been fantastic. We have had them unbalance the machine a few times, but all it takes to fix that is a gentle shake to level the litter off and it's working like normal. The only difficult thing about the litter robot is deciding which is most appreciated, the odor reduction, not having to scoop, or the always clean litter. Either way, it makes for happy cats and happy cat people.

I belong to "Catster" (community for cat lovers) and we just lost our beloved two cats within a day of each other before Thanksgiving....I said 'no more for a long time'...well, within three short weeks I rescued a white kitty less than a year old and then that same day found a little orange kitty...our net friends at Catster were so happy we adopted two more, they gave us a 'virtual' kittybabyshower... there were 408 real people who gave money for the kittybabyshower and one of the things bought for us was your Litter-Robot (the rest of the money was donated to a local shelter).

What an invention!!!! It is amazing!! We love it!!! My white kitty, Gibbs, is already large so he trips the switch easily but little Cash is so tiny he does not.. No problem..I just hit the button for him and it is clean!!! I told my husband last night that it was like not having kitties at all....no more messy clean up or smell!!!! We just get to enjoy the love they give us and we are lucky enough to give back!

Thank you inventors of litter-robot!!! We love you guys..by the way, I ordered another one last week!!! Now they each have their own!!

I want to mention that I did have trouble with my Bot 1 twice. Each time the staff was helpful and very knowledgeable when I talked with them on phone and e-mail. I returned the unit and got quick service and repair. These folks do seem to really want to build the best product possible. They do take customer advice into their product redesigns.

But I would like to see a measuring line either outside or inside, as I ways feel like I might be overloading it. I do have a trick to share for my model . The used litter does tend to want to stay in in a pile, which is problematic when you open the drawer. I had an old elastic band that was made to hold plastic trash bag in the plastic can. Well, I wrapped it around the drawer all the way on the outside around the 2 corners and the bag seems to hold tighter. I use 15 gal kitchen bags. The waste doesn't seem to pile up from the bag sagging. An easy and cheap fix. Hopefully not a problem with the LR 2.

Truthfully, just can't wait to see what LR3 will be like.

Let's be honest - scooping litter boxes is truly the worst chore! After years of scooping, we heard about the litter robot from a family member. I did a lot of research on the internet and I did not find one single bad review on this product. In fact, quite the opposite - rave reviews on every site I found! After reading these reviews and seeing the demonstration on the litter robot website, we were sold! We received it just yesterday and set it up immediately. Our two cats were so curious about it; we could barely get it set up before they were trying to get in! They both used it right off the bat, and we watched it do its "thing" seven minutes later - like two kids with a new toy!! I have no doubts that it is going to be worth every penny and I have been spreading the word to all cat lovers that I know. Thank you automated pet care products for such a great invention - finally! No more doing "paper-rock-scissors" to decide who's going to clean out the litter box! Ha!

March 6, 2008

I have three cats, and two loved it from the get go and one just refused to use it, would go on the floor next to it. So I did what I did when I trained her as a kitten. She had to stay in the spare bathroom, which is big by the way I love my kitties, when I was not home. But I let the other two run the house without their buddy. Then she could come out when I was at home, and everytime I saw one of her sisters using it I would show her it was ok. It took a week and she was convinced she didn't like being separated from her sisters. Now she uses it all the time, I think it just stressed her out as she hates changes. But now she is the one who sits there and watches it cycle when she is done her deposit. Be patient with your kitties, it took mine two weeks to get it together.

March 1, 2008

I think this is a great machine. I have 3 sibling cats and had been searching for a mechanized catbox that really worked well. I'd been through 2 Littermaid Mega boxes. The first worked adequately, though the waste compartment was too small. The new and "improved" elite, which I bought after the first one died, was junk. I researched other options and then decided to take a chance on the Litter-Robot. The 60day return guarantee was what convinced me to give it a try.

I have two males, an 18lb bubba, a 15lb fellow who is terrified of strangers, and a persnickety 9lb female. The 15lb scaredy cat took to the Litter-Robot immediately (surprise!), the other two were reluctant (the female acting like it was some kind of trap) and continued to use the tiny manual catbox I'd purchased as a stop-gap. I was sure I was going to have to send the Litter-Robot back when they still wouldn't use it after the other box got incredibly nasty and they'd eliminated elsewhere. I changed it once more and tried again. Long story short, they both finally switched over, with 3 weeks left in the 60 day period.

My little one isn't always heavy enough to trip the sensor but no big deal. A tap of my foot, or if she's followed by one of her brothers, does the trick. It is very easy to maintain and the waste drawer has a large capacity so that even with the three I don't have to empty it frequently. I highly recommend this box!

I'm coming up on four months with the LR. I've already sent you letters of praise and a testimonial. I'm sorry to do it again, but..... I'm so happy with this product.
It continues to work beautifully everyday. My kitties love it, I love it, my wife loves it. What an ingenious solution to a dirty problem.

Thanks again,

I waited a few months before submitting my testimonial to really give the Litter Robot a thorough looking over. The product meets, and possibly exceeds, all my expectations. I have two older cats (11 and 12 years old) . I was a little worried about their transition to the box. They are also rather large cats, about 15 pounds each. They have had no problems at all and seem to prefer the Litter Robot over their traditional covered box. My life is now significantly improved and I enjoy my cats more. I have gone from having to scoop litter daily, to just changing the bag once a week. Best of all, there is no odor. Thank you for such an excellent product! It was money well spent for me. If I have any suggestions it would be to design a slightly larger version for those of us with big cats. I feel that especially your repeat customers would be interested in such a product.

I cannot tell you how happy I am with my Litter Robot. We have two cats and after a rather slow start they have taken to it so well. There is hardly any odor (the only time I have that is when the big guy doesn't turn around and his hind end hangs out, but that happens very seldom) My husband actually thought they must be going somewhere else because he couldn't smell the box.

I change it 2 times a week instead of scooping 2 boxes 2-3 times a day. Emma my shy kitty watched it intently as Sam, AKA the big guy went in to explore. I started out with kitty treats in there. Emma wasn't buying it. Sam, however would do anything for a treat. Then we tried litter. Sam kept looking for treats and wasn't going in there for doing his business. Then I took away one box. They doubled up on the other. Then I tried Cat Attract.......... a very pricey litter that is supposed to attract the kitties. Not my guys, not in the least, finally Leslie at Litter Robot, said take away the other box and just see what happens. Well I waited all day and NOTHING happened. I was Very concerned. Then my hubby came home and we went out to eat and I forgot to bring in the other cat box. Guess what I came home and they were both relieved to have used it "with a little privacy if you please" That following them in to see if they would use it was discouraging them. Duh, it would me if someone followed me to the toilet.

I am already noticing the savings I will get on cat litter (after using up the expensive stuff) They have been using it for about 3 weeks, I have added to it two times. Scraped off a little clump one time. I throw baking soda into the tray/bag to assure odor control, but that may not even be needed. I rinse out the drawer about every other time unless Sam has done his down the front deal. But I think he is figuring it out now. Thanks Litter Robot, my marriage is happier and so am I.

We have 3 cats, two rather robust individuals and have been loyal
Littermaid customers for several years. We purchased the Littermaid Mega Elite about six months ago. What a disappointment that was. In search of a better alternative, I began doing research on different litter systems. Yours seemed to be the most well engineered system from a functional standpoint just from the basic physics. I was a little concerned with the price, but with the 60-day guarantee, I felt we had little to lose.

We have had it for almost two weeks and I must say this is the most efficient litter system I have ever seen! Our 3 cats love it! For the first few days, I kept going in to add litter to find that it didn't require any. That was a big surprise from the Littermaid model. The way the drum rotates and completely cycles the litter top to bottom not only saves litter but makes sure there is no waste left in the drum. Even the litter tracking is less than the Littermaid and is much more quiet in its operation. For anyone who has the Littermaid and is concerned with the Litter Robot's noise scaring your cats, don't bother being worried. You can barely hear this one cycling. Good job guys! Your invention is worth every penny!!

Well, I look at this purchase very much like I did another purchase I recently made…Yes it is Overpriced; and I guess this purchase would be one of those instances that my GrandDad always called “an incident where two fools met”. However I am tickled to death with my purchase as is my wife (who always took care of the litter box chores).

My 2 cats were inside the thing within 6 hours of setting it up and I didn’t even need to leave it turned off until they got used to it… the Litter Box Odor is now a thing of the past (I covered the holes in the shelf/timer trigger with some transparent 3 inch wide parcel tape because I could see how the odors could easily escape). I have had my box for about a week now and haven’t seen the need to even empty the drawer yet.

I know it is waaay to expensive but if you ever can find a way to get one I am sure that you won’t be disappointed. I look at it this way… if I can afford to part with the money for 3 months and can survive, it will be well worth the investment around my house. I am sure that over time it will become even more of a godsend. My wife and I aren't fighting as much now either. My cats are tickled to death as well. We are using less than half the amount of litter as before I figure too.

My daughter has had a littler robot for six years so when I was about to adopt Mandy (who had been rescued by the son in Philadelphia), I purchased one. Mandy arrived home after a long airline flight from Philadelphia to San Francisco and I put her into the littler robot. She used it and that was that!

I have had 3 different Litter Maids over the years and and they have continually gotten worse in quality. I was so fed up with them! Then I read a review on Amazon.com about the LitterRobot. I went to your site and read the testimonials and decided to try it since it had such a good return policy.

I love this litter box. It did not take long to get my cats to go in it and they seem to like it a lot There is absolutely no mess at all! How refreshing! A litter box that works! AND I don't have to buy those expensive, polluting receptacles. I only have to change the bag once a week with two cats.

Thank you for inventing a great product. I am telling all my friends with cats about this.

February 11, 2008

We received our Litter Robot at the end of January, having considered it for almost a year. Because of the high cost, I chose a reconditioned unit. The unit arrived in excellent condition. Setup is as easy as advertised, and the unit is very easy to keep clean. We have ten cats, and only 3 are not using the robot at this time. The house never has a cat odor any more, and we are using a fraction of the litter with a fraction of the tracking that we had in the past.

As a suggestion for some who have still noticed an odor, I found Ruffies color scents trash bags (8 gallon, 76/bag) for under $4.00 at Wal-Mart. The scent seems to be just enough to take care of any residual odors you might have.

Even with 10 cats, the litter box chore is now just one small bag out to the trash each night. This cat box probably saves me more time than my dishwasher.

Thanks Litter Robot.

I already have a testimony in there some place. Just want to let you know, we did a complete cleaning of the LRII today (could have waited one more month after looking at it and cleaning it). Piece of cake!! I stuck it in the shower and rinsed with warm water. 10 minutes later I was done. It is drying right now (I just turned the heat on in the bathroom and put a fan in front of the drum to circulate the air).

Also, the best part of all is we only add 2.5-4 cups of litter (measured) 2 times a week (we have two cats that use the LRII pretty heavily). The maximum time allotted between emptying the tray is 4.5 days for two cats. WE LOVE THIS MACHINE.

I have had 2 different litter maids in the last 1 1/2 yrs....both were a horrible mess to clean and just stopped working. Having multiple cats, I was unsure as to how they would re-act to this machine. My first one came and within just several days...they were using it. No smells and very little tracking outside of the dome. It worked so well that I have ordered a second unit for another room......I love this...and even with multiple cats using each unit, I only need to empty the drawer about every 3 days or so....

It also keeps dogs out of dirty litter!!!

Thank You!

I just have to give you my vote. Having three cats in the house, I spend a lot of time cleaning the litter box. The cost was also a great factor. I was spending about $30.00 to $40.00 a month. At one of my client's house I noticed the box and bought one. The amount of money and time it had saved me was worth the initial outlay. Every 3 months I would pull it apart and clean the housing, which was not really dirty ( I just like my cats to have a clean bathroom).

Just wanted to say thank you for a great product, kudos to the inventor.

We're very happy with the Litter-Robot. We have three older (and one of them larger - about 16 lbs) indoor cats. I was a "litter" concerned that the old cats wouldn't learn new tricks and that, based on Litter-Robot's "literature", the big lunk just might not fit. However, life is good in the kitty bathroom. Two of the cats caught on within a couple weeks. The big guy was slower: after a "litter"
while longer he started using the Litter-Robot for #1 but #2'd on the floor along side the Litter-Robot. After some timely and friendly suggestions from Shirley with Automated Pet Care Products Customer Service (clean out the inside of the globe and try using Cat Attract brand litter) and, for a while, putting the old-fashioned litter box alongside (to keep #2 off the floor), the lunk caught on. This
revelation occurred only a few days before the 60-day money-back return policy expired. I put away the old litter box and after a few weeks switched back to a more economical litter. The Litter-Robot and the cats have been doing what they're supposed to ever since (about 4 additional months). Occasionally, when we're out of the house for a few days, I put the old litter box back alongside for a "litter" extra capacity, but they choose (except maybe for a couple #1's) to use the Litter-Robot. So, the moral of the story is -- be patient and seek help from the masters if your cats are not cooperating.

One benefit that we were hoping for that has worked out nicely: We have a small indoor dog that has a disgusting habit of getting into the cats' litter box for a little snack (uuugh!). We've trained her to stay away, but still leave her in a separate part of the house when we're gone since she occasionally falls off the wagon. With the Litter-Robot, the "treats" are swept away a few minutes after they're
produced, reducing (almost eliminating) the likelihood that our dog will find anything if she looks.

I'm the one who used to have the daily chore of scooping two litter boxes (we used to have 5 indoor cats). Having just one "box" that does the scooping for me is a real treat. Don't deceive yourself though, there is still maintenance involved. With three cats, I change out the tray bag about every two days (I probably could go three) and you do have to supplement the "clean" litter every few days. (Maybe Litter-Robot III will empty the tray, take the bag out to the trash, and add more clean litter!!) All in all, I'm extremely happy with the Litter-Robot and highly recommend it. It's on the high end, price-wise, but it's also on the high end, performance-wise, so if you can afford it, buy it! Based on our experience, you won't be disappointed.

Even though I returned the one I bought a year ago because one of the cats just wouldn't use it, I recommended it today to someone else:

"I bought one of these for Christmas a year ago and she loved it - provided odor control and prevented the dog from "snacking". Unfortunately, one of the cats would not use it, even though they offer a progressive training regimen to get older cats to adapt, so we returned it after a few weeks. They have a no questions asked return policy (less the shipping costs) so I stand by the company. Not cheap ($300), but it really works. I saw one at someone's house before I bought it. Unlike the "raking" ones that get gunked up, this worked consistently."

After years of frustration from scooping out conventional litter boxes, I went online investigating automatic litter boxes. I wasn't thrilled with the reviews of other automatic boxes. I stumbled across Litter-Robot online, but dismissed it due to the high cost. I came back, however, and began reading reviews. After reading about the payment plan and all the great reviews, I decided to order. This product is fabulous!!!. We have 3 cats, and my male cat used it within 20 secs. My larger cat, over 12 lbs, used it within the first day with no issues. We have one last cat that is taking some convincing, although she took convincing to use a litter box in the first place.

My male cat is so fascinated, that ever time he hears it start up, he runs into the laundry room to watch it. Sometimes he tries to climb in, but it stops immediately. My only suggestion for improvement is to put a sixth grommet in the front to hold the bag. Otherwise it is perfect!!!

Hi,

I just want to say that it took my girls about 10 days to start using the "Bot" but use it they did ... I feel like singing like Julie Andrews on the mountaintop. I finally had to take away their old box (the cold turkey method) and sprinkled Cat Attract on the litter which worked like a magnet - amazing. I also think because of the styling of the "bot" my one won't be ambushing the other. I'm thrilled is an understatement.

I think the whole system is pretty darn amazing, and the look of the black Star Wars model is very sleek. The delivery box was pretty scary ... I thought you sent a trainer along with the "bot" but, no, it just was a great packing job. The unit itself is not huge, about the size of a kitchen trash can. I've read about the noise and to that I say "what noise?", it is very quiet. I am impressed.

I, like many others, contemplated yet another litter box discovery, asking myself how much more will I spend in search of the perfect box? I made one more investment and it's the best money I've spent. Clean litter, no daily dumping, scraping, etc., no smell (I've put baking soda in the trash bag just in case) is it worth the investment - you can bet your cat's butt on that LOL As one person stated, now if it will only take the stuff outside, it would be a perfect world.

Again, thank you for coming up with such a great product, sleek, well made and does the job. I will continue to monitor my 2 cats to make sure they are getting used to the "bot" and hopefully, by next weekend it will be set on automatic.

Hello there,

I have been trying to submit feedback for my Litter robot for the past six months, but my computer does not support Outlook Express. I hope that I can get feedback to you this way.

Firstly I live in the Uk and found it very difficult to obtain a Litter-robot. Eventually I was able to buy one from you from your European distribution center at a great price. I have 4 cats - two Singapuras, one Birman and a Siamese and they are
all house cats. I previously bought 3 littermaids and they all went wrong due to damaged circuit boards. It was impossible to send them back to the manufacturer from the UK, so I searched the web and found the litter robot.

I have had mine for six months now, and cannot praise it highly enough. The cats took to it straight away, there is absolutely no smell and it uses far less litter than the Littermaids (I use the Worlds Best Cat Litter). This machine has been a godsend - thank you so much for inventing it!

Best regards,
Marion Woodham,

All I can say is WOW! The Litter Robot surpassed my every expectation. Initially my 2 cats were very reluctant to go near the Litter Robot. Lo and behold after following the advice given in manual, within 3 days they were happily using the Litter Robot. One of the best decisions I’ve every made!!!

Hello, just wanted to let you know that I received my Litter Robot and my cat has started using it. My cat is a fully grown Persian cat female, about 7 years
old. My cat's been using it for about 2 weeks now and no major problems to report.

Comments:
1. When I received the box, I was surprised. The shipping box was huge! But once I took the Litter Robot out of the box and assembled it, it wasn't that big.

2. My cat started using it within 24 hours, didn't require much persuasion. But the sensor did not activate after my cat used it and had to adjust the sensor by rotating it twice. Now it works perfectly.

3. It's a little noisy for my taste but it's in another room so it doesn't bother me while I'm sleeping.

4. It appears to be solidly built. I had horrible experience with another litter box cleaner. They usually broke with less than a month of use. I'm hoping Litter Robot will last much longer than that. I'll give you a feedback later this year to see how this product is holding up.

Best Regards,

I love the Litter Robot!!! I have arthritis, and it makes my life so much easier. My cat was nervous about it at first, so I left it off until he had used it a few times. Once I turned it on, he was once again nervous, but seemed to get over the noise pretty quickly. Now, he actually likes to make it go, so he will use the box. Watch it do its thing, and then go right back in to make it happen again. He is obsessed with it. Usually, after the third time, he gets bored and moves on until the next time he needs to use it, and then the cycle starts all over. He cracks me up! Thanks for such a great invention!

I tried several other methods for our three cats once they migrated inside the house after years of using the great outdoors for their needs. Nothing worked well enough. No litter box was clean enough—the litter kept traces of the cats’ business and had to be entirely changed quite frequently in order to remain acceptable by my standards.

Then I found a site that described the litter robot and I decided to purchase one. What an ingenious machine! You have to see it work to believe it. I am amazed at how clean the litter has remained after nearly two weeks of use. All I need to do is add litter every once in a while. The box is close to being odorless, too. And I am so grateful that I can place a regular garbage bag in the drawer without having to worry about soiling my hands or spilling anything when I empty the drawer.

Our cats took to the box within a day. I didn’t need to coax them at all. It’s funny to watch how each cat uses it. I guess I never realized how very particular cats can be. They are definitely clean, and they deserve the cleanest, most efficient litter machine around.

I had been told by a friend that this "automatic" litter box really did work but didn't decide to try it for quite some time. I thought maybe my cats were too big or there were too many or they might not aim right once inside. But finally I broke down and bought one and we love it!! Cats do too.

We are a cattery and have had five females and several kittens using it on manual mode. Now that the kittens are leaving we will go to automatic mode. Although I have several other litter boxes they definitely used this one a lot and I'm now planning to get 2-3 more and replacing other boxes.

We just got our litter robot this month! Let me start out by saying, I've been the one on litter box duty for years now. No matter how fun I seem to try to convince my husband it is, he doesn't seem excited to change them? HAHAHA With 7 cats, and 3-4 standard boxes, it was quite a smelly chore. The temptation was always there though whenever I passed an automatic kitty box in PetSMart stores.. looked too good to be true....One day my husband Chris said to me while researching boxes on the net.. "hey honey, what color do you want on the screen? black or beige? to which I replied..."white." no, no he said.. "black or beige??" "fine, beige I guess.." I wasn't too impressed.. and went back to cleaning my house.. (housework never ends right??)

After our litter robot arrived (while I was at work), my husband (who had a day off) eagerly set it up...doing everything the manual said to do to introduce our kitties to it... they took to it immediately...my husband is so impressed and fascinated with this neat gadget, he now takes care of EVERYTHING!! I pretend I'm not mechanically inclined and don't know anything about his new toy yet... lol and I haven't touched litter since!!

ps. don't be surprised if our kitties order another one from your site!!

We bought your product because I have a cat that does not want to use a dirty box, and she sprays the hood of the litter box, so other automated litter boxes would not have worked for us. This was the perfect solution. This product is so easy to assemble and operate and is very well built. There was certainly a lot of thought that went into the design of this product. We love it

The moment we set it up the first of our three cats entered and had no problem figuring out what to do. If fact, it is not only a litter box, it is a source of constant amusement. As soon as it cycles, they gather to watch. For the first few weeks one of the cats stopped the unit continuously as it proceeded through the cycle by stepping on the entry step and peering inside. Then I added a small step stool in front of it and now she sits on the stool to watch the inside and does interrupt the cleaning cycle.

We would like to see a larger unit for the longer cat. We have a very long cat that has to go through quite a contortion to use it. Despite that, she loves it!

I can't say enough good things about the Litter-Robot. I adopted a 10 year old, 19-lbs cat and was a little concerned that he might not want to use it (something new and it made sounds), or that he was going to be a little too large to use it. I set it up in the same location that his old [covered] litter box had been and mixed a little of his old/used litter with a newer brand of kitty litter. I started the cycle to get everything properly sifted and aligned. I then went about my evening as if nothing had changed. I did notice a little bit of curiosity on the cats part, so I started the "cycle" so he could see it and hear it while I was there with him. A few hours later while the cat was sitting on my lap, I heard a strange noise and noticed that the Litter-Robot had come to life. Ahhh, the sweet sound of success.

I travel occasionally for work and prior to this purchase I noticed how quickly the standard litter box had filled up and how unwilling the cat was to use it if there was not a clean area to “GO…” With the Litter-Robot, the good is separated from the bad and the cat is happy, I am happy and clean up is a breeze. I use inexpensive trash bags to line the drawer and when it is time to empty, I just turn them inside out and take them outside to the trash. When the cycle starts, the noise is minimal and barely noticeable in my small 1 bedroom apartment.

After reading so many helpful automated litter box reviews on Amazon, I was pleased to find information about the Litter-Robot™ that guided me towards a purchase.

January 13, 2008

I bought the Litter-Robot a few months ago for my 2 Birmans. I had no trouble getting them to use it. As I expected, the adult male was the first to use it as he is more adventurous than his mother. But a few days after he used it, I saw her use it and out went the litter box. There has been no trouble with it ever since.

Zen, the male cat, finds the device fascinating. He watches the cycle with total attention. He has learned that if he puts his paws on the sensor during the cycle it stops andd if he takes them off it continues. So every once and a while we have a 5 minute cycle. It doesn’t harm the machine and it makes Zen happy.

I should mention that these are fairly large cats. Zen is 15 pounds and fairly long, but he has no trouble using the Litter-Robot. It certainly makes me happy, as bending over to scoop litter is difficult for me. Pulling out the drawer every 5-6 days is a lot easier.

Highly recommended.

Can I be thrilled with a product only after a week of use? I have three cats and two dogs who have a peculiar taste for the contents of the litter box. Needless to say, trying to find a location for the boxes that only the cats can access, while maintaining sanitary conditions in the house, has been a challenge.

Enter the Litter Robot. I was stunned at how easy it was to put together, but I pulled the first litter “bag” out by mistake, thinking it was packing. It went back in easily, and we were good to go. After setting it up the evening it arrived, the first cat used it within an hour, and the second early the following morning. Their curiosity really did it – they couldn’t wait to get in the thing!

I cycled it myself for a couple of days, turning it on and off in front of the cats so they wouldn’t be startled by it when it ran. Upon leaving it plugged in, however, it seemed that it cycled extremely frequently. Coincidentally, the dogs would disappear for a while, then sneak into their beds, back and forth all evening, with the LR going off every seven minutes! The cats were nowhere in sight. I went into the laundry room to see what might be going on. You guessed it -- the dogs were triggering the globe, looking for a snack! I’d rather have the thing run a few extra times than deal with the dogs’ bad eating habits.

I will be ordering a second unit. My third cat stays in another part of the house, and will be getting her own for her birthday. I rave about your product to all my cat-owning friends – especially the ones who initially told me about it, but were reluctant to buy one themselves!

I’m still so surprised that such an unusual product solves the cat litter problem so elegantly! I wish your business every success.

I received my Litter Robot the day before Christmas. I wondered what I was getting into when the BIG box arrived - but assembly was a breeze and the cats were curious.

Our black cat Edward took to it right away. In fact, he is mesmerized by it - watching it go around, and stepping on the step to stop it when he wants a closer look inside - kitty entertainment. We have one Birman that doesn't trust it yet, and is still using the box - but he was traumatized by the Litter Maid and may never get over it. (Litter Maid was one of the worst investments I ever made!!)

The other two Birmans are experimenting, and I think they like it. No more spraying over the edge of the box, and no smell. I love the convenience of the drawer. Why didn't I buy one of these before! It is great!

This is the fourth automatic litter box I have tried. I am on a limited income but love my cat. So I tried others first because of the price. It was a waste of money.

I PROMISE YOU, I have had this litter box for almost 2 years now, and it is absolutely the BEST thing that will ever happen to you and your cat.

I am retired, brought my cat with me, and live in Cancun, MX. Shipping here is difficult. Receiving any shipping, other than FedEx, is doubtful. It is either takes over a month, is lost or stolen. The company was new and not willing to ship directly to me. So I had it shipped to my daughter in San Francisco, and she brought it on the plane to visit me. I would have preferred that the company agreed to my request to ship it to me by FedEx. Perhaps they now do that. My daughter bringing it on the plane from San Francisco was not the best move I ever made, but she has forgiven me!

I can absolutely 100% guarantee that this will make the life of you and your cat better than you EVER imagined. Yes, it is a bit expensive, but not more expensive than trying all of the cheaper brands first! And how does price compare to you and your cat being happy? I can go back to the USA to visit my kids for over a month at a time, and my maid only checks to see if my honey has food and water, and NEVER has to change the litter! I find NO DUST and absolutely NO SMELL. It is the best automatic cat litter box on the market!

Greetings,

I ordered the Litter Robot before Christmas and I am very glad I did. I was a little bit concerned about the price, but I can say it is worth every penny! I have 4 cats and my bathroom never smells anymore.

I was also worried that my cats would be scared of it because 3 of them were wild that I brought inside. But I can say they used it right a way no problem.

I also want to pass on 2 tips I use the scented trash bags that I found at the local dollar store to make the soiled litter smell a little better. I also use Filter Fresh Whole Home Air Freshener filter pads that you use for your home filters in the garbage bag area to make it smell good too.

Thanks so much ,

I received my litter robot on the second of January 2008. My 2 cats were there as I unpacked their new gift. Ernie is a black 8 month old pound kitty and Sweeney is a 7 week old fluff ball. You could not ask for sweeter well behaved felines. Ernie ( named after Sesame Street) sleeps with our 2 year old and guards our 8 month old. Sweeney has the same disposition.

I felt they deserve the best. What more could I give these great felines? I know —the litter robot.

At the time I had the mega litter maid. I had it for 4 years. It was nice but such a pain to replace the poop cans and the maintenance was NOT fun. Once a month I cleaned this thing out and sprayed the whole thing with vegetable oil to keep the parts moving. Yet the rack would still jam on a big load, be in pee or poo. The only reason mine lasted that long was the care I gave it, which in my opinion is not self cleaning.

So after long research I found the litter robot. I put it together and I swear both my cats were in it within the first few seconds of the initial cycle. I used some old litter with new but I think they were just into the privacy of the dome. Since I have been an electric litter box consumer for many years I have to say I have never been more excited by this product.

Thanks so much,
Autumn, Ernie and Sweeney

The Best Christmas Gift!

I bought the litter robot as a Christmas gift to myself and love it. It seemed pricey so I purchased a reconditioned unit and my cat took to it as soon as I set it up. I also received the unit very quickly after ordering. This strange looking, yet wonderfully working machine makes litter clean up as effortless as possible.

I highly recommend this product to anyone in search of easing the litter box burden. Also, adding an small open box Arm & Hammer Fridge and Freezer Odor Absorber to the collection bin completely eliminates any smell.

Thank you Litter Robot for such an amazing product.

I’ve been using the litter robot for a few years now. The new one is MUCH improved over the earlier model. It’s lighter and has a larger “waste bin”. My 3 year old cat Sushi (a ragdoll) thinks the litter robot is a personal sandbox and just spends a lot of time playing in it as well as doing his business. I told Shirley I would try to send a pic but I’ve never been able to catch him facing FORWARD in time to snap the picture.

I have included a picture of him anyway and someday there’s be a cute one of him in the litter robot.

Sushi thanks you for making such a great product!!!

My wife and I have 4 cats. Before owning the Litter Robot we owned 2 litter maid litter boxes, and only the older one with the plastic rakes could keep up with the 4 cats some of the time. But the cost of the plastic containers that the waste gets scooped into plus the amount of litter we would go through was getting out of control.

We debated and researched the Litter Robot for about 8 months, because we just couldnt convince ourselves that any litter box was worth paying 300.00 for.

After having the Litter Robot for about 7 months now we love it. Not only can it handle all 4 of our cats, but we are using so much less litter then ever before. There are 2 great things about the Litter Robot, 1) there are no special bags or containers you have to purchase and 2) It works great.

Yes 300.00 is a lot to spend on a litter box, but after owning a Litter Robot for several months now, I would easily pay more for one (but please dont raise the price).

Thank you for a product that works extremely well. This customer will be getting another one this year for our downstairs. Not that we need one but we spoil the cats?

Have a Happy and Safe New Year to all who work for Litter Robot.

Thank you,

We received a litter robot towards the end of October. It was to replace a Litter "Old Maid" that had not outlived its usefulness but was only a month old. I call does all ! How does this litter robot thing work? Easy she says. Litter and clumps are separated when the unit turns and clumps are dumped into the draw and it then revolves back into position.

Happy days are here again. . We have 3 of the six cats now using it. Perhaps after the holidays we can get the other three such a present. No fuss, no muss, and NOTHING MISSING THE TRAY !!! This has been the best purchase since my last amateur radio antenna. I was astounded at one little (?) kitty I call "His Highness." Markings indicate at least part Ossie cat. He was the first one to use it and came out with his head held high.

So far, I am proud to say, I am not sorry for this purchase. Clean out is easy, replacing litter is easy, and so is saying Get to the Robot dukes. I had just one little problem soon to be solved. This was placed on a hardwood floor and caused elevation in the noise factor. I am planning to get a one inch thick piece of foam rubber as a sound absorber and it should be fine. Summation - best litter picker upper on the market.

I ordered the Litter Robot after going through three messy, smelly, sticky
Litter Maids. We have had it for two weeks now, and I have to say this is
worth the money! We went cold turkey, took out the Litter Maid and put in
the Litter Robot, and our cats, (five of them!), went right in and have been
using it ever since.

No expensive receptacles! No scooping! No sticking! No smell! No mess! WOW!

The Litter Robot II is a very sturdy and well made product. It is one of those products that make you scratch your head and say "Why didn't I think of that"?

We have had the LRII for only 6 days now. We put it to the test by having our two felines quit their regular litter box Cold Turkey! To our surprise they went right to the LRII without any qualms. No coaxing. No tricks except we put about a 1/2 cup of old litter in to get a familiar scent to the box as suggested in the LRII owner’s manual.

Is the motor quiet? You bet! The noise of the LRII is no more than a minimal hum at best. To us, it is music to our ears. We live in a small house and the only living beings in the house that hear it kick in are the cats. They scramble to it and sit in front to watch it tumble, kind of like people standing at a window downtown watching television displays on a big game day. Within four days it became old hat and they now go about their business after doing "their business".

I can't speak highly enough of the LRII. In just 6 days we can see the money savings. In 6 days, after the initial set up of 9 pounds of litter, we have added only 5 coffee mugs of litter to the batch. Every other day we sprinkle a bit of Arm & Hammer baking soda in and pull it just below the surface of the litter and then, NO ODORS. Litter is not wasted over a huge surface area due to the contour inside of the LRII. Be honest with yourself. You know that you are throwing out more litter than is being used doing it the old way. The LRII wastes no litter whatsoever.

Sprinkling a couple of tablespoons of A & H in the new bag after changing the soiled bag controls the odor as well. I have a very sensitive sense of smell and the odor is actually less than with a regular litter box and most of the time it is non-existent. With two active cats we have found that every three days (72 hours) is the safe limit for changing the litter bag. We could possibly push it and go 5 days in an emergency but we have not had the LRII long enough to vouch for that.

We did a LOT of investigating before making this purchase and hands down, research paid off. And with such a great money back guarantee like the LRII, what's to lose? Nobody and I mean NOBODY has this kind of satisfaction guarantee except for Costco.

We read review after review after review and the most negative thing we found was that some cats tend to urinate over the edge and into the outside tray. Well, that was easy to figure out. Follow the instructions and keep the litter at the two inch below or lower level at the entrance. If you overfill the cat stands too high and of course they are then standing over the edge of the portal at that moment in the event they don’t turn around. It's like putting a tyke at a urinal and expecting him to hit the urinal on the inside when he stands a foot under the urinal. We have one cat that spins around inside and the other just steps in and we can see that the height of the litter is an important factor toward satisfaction of this product. FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS. The folks at LR know what they are talking about.

Seriously, If you are looking for a litter box and not just "any litter box", the LRII is the one to purchase. Besides, if you or your kitties are not happy, you get your money back. It's that simple. You won't be sorry.

And NO, my wife and I are not being paid to say anything in this testimonial. We don’t want to oversell this fine product but it truly is a fantastic piece of workmanship and well thought out.

December 1, 2007

This is, by far, the best litter box ever! Easy set-up; Low litter usage; No smell. We'd been through two Litter-maids before giving up on them. Too many times the rakes had to be cleaned and the last one quit working within 2 months of purchase. We chose not to even return it....We didn't want another one...even if it was new. However, the Litter-robot works perfectly, and, as an added bonus (to your wallet), there's no special bags to buy...just use whatever bag you have available around the house. We're as happy as our cats are!

December 1, 2007

The Litter Robot arrived 2 days ago. It was shipped promptly and arrived in perfect condition.

I have been waffling about this purchase for about two years. I'm so tired of scooping, but to spend so much for an alternative seemed crazy.

Good news... Easy set up. Well written manual. It fit perfectly in the space of my old covered litter box. Both cats went in and sniffed.

More good news... Second day both cats had pooped and peed in it. I have now removed the old litter box. This seems premature, but I have confidence.

I did a manual cycle and I'm so amazed by the clever design. If you watch it do its thing you can appreciate the genius of this product. My hat is off to the LR folks.

Thanks,
John

We have had our litter robot since Sept. 06 and are thrilled with it. I only had one cat when we bought it, now I have three because of it. We got the second cat at the end of Sept and he was only 2lbs and had no problem using it. He was to little to trigger it, but that was okay. Now I just go the third cat in Sept this year and she was small like the second and had no problem using the litter robot. It is the best litter box I have found. And if your wondering about the price don't, because the time it will save you in clean up is well worth the price. And by the time I returned all the stuff with the old litter box (bags,tent,litter, ect..) it was well over the price they want for this unit anyway. Please be advised your cats will love it and be very curious about and you won't mind the clean up. Thanks Litter Robot.

Sincerely

I just wanted to take a moment to let you know how pleased I am with your product. I have 4 cats and scooping multiple litter boxes was a daily chore, I was wasting tons of litter and my cats were not very happy. After I began using the Litter Robot I was amazed how well it worked, so much so that I kept forgetting about it! For anyone who is considering purchasing any type of automatic litter box, here here are the reasons you should by the Litter
Robot:

Much quieter than any other automatic litter box, you can hardly even hear it! Never jams!!!! no parts to constantly clean and unclog! Saves a ton of money in litter and supplies. practically pays for its self if you have a multi cat household. I am down to emptying a try every 2-3 weeks instead of scooping every other day! A huge time saver Absolutely worth the price!!!

The only feature I would add is a level so that you can see if it is sitting correctly. I have it in my basement, and the only time that I have had to reset it is if I had placed it on a surface that was not even. Once I found a nice level area, I have never had an issue.

It has been a month and though I had my doubts, I am still thrilled with robot. I have two cats, one very large main coon, and wasn't sure if he would be able to use robot when I saw the size of the opening to access the litter. Wrong, he figured it out quickly, and now puts his rather large rear end to the back and sticks his head out the front. The convenience is what I was looking for. Whenever I went away for the weekend, I would have to ask someone to come in and clean the litter box EVERYDAY. Now it only has to be done every third day. I did find that the 13 gal bags work better, the 8 gal are really too tight and harder to get in place, not to mention the 13 gal bags are cheaper due to their popularity. Would I recommend Litter Robot, you bet and have to many of my friends, the price is the only thing holding them back, but for me, it was worth every penny.

I have four cats and have used the Littermaid for the last 10 years. It is a good pro
