Comment on Omega Self Cleaning Litter Box by elbe8ball

I agree with all the bad reviewers and can’t believe the amount of good reviews — they must work for the company — this liter box is terrible! It is too small and even if I clean it daily my cats urine makes its way out of the box because the opening dips down too low and if there but is near the opening they pee outside the box and when you rock and roll it the clean liter spills out due to the poor construction — the lid is secured only by 3 plastic clips — I purchased 2 of these for my small cats and I want my money back! I sent an email to the place and they would not stand by their product and said they had never heard of cats peeing outside of the box — I bought this item based on good reviews I read over the internet which are lies! My cats have never urniated outside of their litter pan before the Omega rock and roll!

this has got to be the worst product I’ve ever used! The smell it leaves in my house is disgusting and I threw the whole device out within 1 week of using it. The slide bar never works properly and my cats HATE the box. I am in the process of emailing one of the customer service managers about this product in hopes that he can refund the money I wasted purchasing this product. DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT!! It is horrible and does nothing for odor control and makes a mess!

Comment on Cat Genie Self Cleaning Litter Box by cynta

I had purchased the first cat genie and it took me a while to decide to set it up, which I finally did in July 2009. Almost immediately, I began having problems with it. It worked for about a week, and then for the next three days, I had recurring problems even though I was following the instructions including cleaning the machine twice. The machine continued beeping three times even after it was cleaned and had run through the cycle. There were no blockages and the black knob for the black thing (you would think I would remember after having read the instructions so many times) that turns in the bottom turned freely in both directions.
I also had a problem where there was water in the bowl and all four green lights at the top were lit. It was very frustrating because my cats didn’t have a place to go to the toilet and they were starting to become scared of the machine again. It took more than two weeks and a very filthy litterbox before they even began using the Genie, and I was afraid they’d start going in other places if the problem wasn’t corrected soon.
Unfortunately, I first called customer support repeatedly, including three times in one day (if you’ve ever smelled baking cat feces or had to clean that unbelievably disgusting muck out of the bottom of the cat genie which caused me to retch every time I had to do it, you’ll know how desperate I was), and didn’t receive any response from those messages, nor from email messages. The cat genie eventually ceased to work at all; all four lights 1-4 were lit on the top of the machine but I could not cancel the auto setup. I also could not run a cleaning cycle because the button didn’t work when I pressed and released it. I tried several times to press the buttons or press and release the buttons and they didn’t work. When I finally got someone from customer service to return my calls, I had to go through a hassle to convince them I owned the cat genie and had purchased it within the valid warranty period. They send me a new processor and that one seemed to work okay, but I think the cat genie just really doesn’t handle solid waste all that well, even though both of my cats are short haired and I brush them both regularly.
Now, I am once again having issues with the cat genie, but this time it is the 120 Cat Genie which I purchased in September 2009 from Amazon.com. Briefly, the cat genie now beeps once every time a cycle goes through, even if the cycle has gone through successfully – or it beeps during the cycle and when I try to restart it after following all of the steps, it will begin beeping again mid-cycle even though there is no issue with clogs. I have had to clean the genie now every day after a cycle for more than a week, and there is nothing visibly wrong with the machine. It has been thoroughly cleaned each time and reassembled, and this is getting very annoying.

Best hidden cat litter box ever made. My friends didn’t know it was my cats litter box until they seen my kitten climbing out of it.

I have to say I was a little skeptical at first about getting a CatGenie, but after I did, I don’t know how I lived without it!! I never have to scoop litter again

I use this cover for my bunny litter box. Works great and looks even better!

Comment on Litter Robot Automatic Litter Box (LRII) by gottwokats

Recently purchased a Litter Robot II for my two cats. I really like it. It took the cats a while to get used to it, but now it’s my only litter box. It is a litter miser and extremely easy to clean. One caveat–if you purchase with their 3 month plan they will add $15 to the cost (currently $346 versus $329). Also, if you can wait, watch the website for free shipping that they offer periodically. You’ll save $19,95.

When I got this thing I was impressed with how sturdy all the sides and beams are, right up until I couldnt hook the thing together because it didn’t line up properly. Eventually my brother and father came over and muscled it into place. However once set up its nice. I bought a cat bed for it, so right now its just a hideaway, and the cats like it (both my cats like little enclosed areas). Be advised that it doesn’t have a bottom, but with the material its made of thats probably a good thing. If it DID have a bottom and was used as a litterbox retreat it’d be next to impossible to clean the floor of it. Either as a litterbox retreat or just a hide-a-way its definitely a really cute piece. Its also cheaper than other products like this. The price seems to be fluctuating a lot. I first saw it for $80, but I waited and ended up getting it for $50 so if you’re interested, you might be able to wait for the sale price to drop down again.

I thought it was wicker, and probably should’ve read closer, so I was disappointed to find it was made of plastic, and had that horrid plastic smell to go with it. It’s not sturdy at all, and is a bit of a pain to put together. However, it does cover the litter box, but might actually make it more noticeable since it’s larger than the litter box.

At first glance – putting this together was a pain – but after about two three tries and a helping hand from my husband we got it to work for us. I thought it would be more of a wood material as opposed to plastic – so gives it a cheaper appearance. Litter box isn’t the full size of the litter cover, so not sure if your cats wil have this problem, but mine seem to balance on the front opening of the cover and side of the litter box, and miss the litter box and go all over the floor:( Not sure if this is confusing to them or what. The front door opening is a nice touch and allows for easy cleaning and it looks much better than you standard kitty litter box, but right now it’s just not working for us. I had to put it away and revert to our original box, since the cats keep their mess in the box and not on the outside like they do in this one. Maybe I’ll revert it to a kitty bed instead.
