Summary: Best one out there, but not perfect
Comment: My Littermaid finally broke after 3 years. Pretty good lifespan I think. I decided to try a different automatic box with a better design. Mistake. I will go back to the Littermaid Mega that works consistently better than the others. See all the tricks I've learned to make it a better box at the bottom of my review.
Pros:
Had one for 3 years and know it works.
Rakes the sand flat and scoops most of the debris consistently.
You can use a plastic grocery bag in the litter receptacle.
Fresh Step litter works great.
Smell is barely noticeable in the room the box is in. I got a plug in deodorizer and that took care of that problem.
You can't smell it anywhere else in the house.
With two cats I only have to empty the bin twice a week.
Cons:
Track inside box gets litter in it.
Litter falls between the box and the litter receptacle.
Box is difficult to do a thorough cleaning. I did get the whole thing wet and thought I fried the motor, but after it dried it worked fine again.
The low level of litter you need to use (I use less than they say and it works better) sometimes makes the pee stick to the bottom of the pan.
Noisy.
If you are thinking of the Smartscoop see my review on that piece..
Pooper Flicker! I have more urine balls and fecal balls on the outside of the box.
The littermaid with all it's flaws is still the best product.
TRICKS:
Use a little less litter than they recommend
Use a grocery bag in the litter receptacle and reuse receptacle over & over.
Spray bottom of box with No-Stick Litter Box spray (or cooking spray)and it keeps the pee from gooing up on the bottom.
Don't use the ramp as it makes more of a mess. (unless you have a kitten).
When the machine stops running don't assume it is broken!!!! There are two reset tabs at the end of the track on the receptacle end. Flip up the lid and look on both sides of the track. There are two little white tabs. Push those and the box will reset. That little tid bit was from Littermaid support line and it has worked numerous times.
Get one of those little dustbin brushes and brush out the litter in the track every now and again.
Put some newspaper or cardboard under the receptacle so it catches the litter that falls through. Then you can pull it out and dump litter back in box.

Summary: 10 Minutes Ample Time for Clumping
Comment: I suspect that people who complain that 10 minutes isn't time enough for clumping are allowing their cats to eat an inappropriate diet, resulting in messier stools. In this case, no clumping time is adequate. On my vets advice, I feed only dry food and stools are firm. Urine, of course, clumps immediately if you use a premium clumping litter as directed. Littermaid is not infallible, but it is a big help.

Summary: What happened? Quality isn't what it used to be.
Comment: This is the third Littermaid I've purchased. I've been very pleased with the first two cat boxes but this one is not what I expected. Littermaid has changed the quality of the recepticles boxes. The box will not stay in place thus kitty litter and waste go everywhere. The recepticle tops are horrible. I have to TAPE the cheapo lid to my cat box. I do re-use my boxes but I did that before with my two previous cat boxes and did not have a problem. The quality of this new cat box is not as good as before. Next time I have to purchase a cat box, it will not be Littermaid. I'm ready to try something else.

Summary: Great Product but not infallible
Comment: Do you have a pile of used litter at the very front of the pan? Most likely if you are having problems with this product you've put too much litter in the pan. If you don't think that is the case your little kitty has piled all the litter in the front. My little darling was doing this to the pan for weeks before I figured out that I needed to use less than the recommended amount of litter.
The motor isn't strong to prevent injury to the kitty if for some reason they are in it when it starts. It does have a motion sensor so it shouldn't be an issue.
Also if you have more than one cat get more than one of these. I have 3 cats and three of these. The stinkers sometimes jam it up but it is still better than the every day cleaning.
We clean ours twice a week on trash days so we can dump straight into the garbage that is going out to the curb that morning. We use rubber gloves (the hospital kind) to pull out the boxes of used litter. We dump those and put the receptacles back. We only replace when the are really bad or tear when they are pulled out.

Ideal for a household with a large cat or more than one cat, this big, self-cleaning litter box eliminates most odors while keeping the litter pleasingly fresh for tabby. It's ingenious in design: a cat entering the box triggers a sensor; the sensor sets a timer that counts off 10 minutes; then a rake runs through the litter, scooping out clumps and depositing them in a plastic container at the box's end; the container is automatically sealed until the next cat visit, when the raking cycle opens the container for another deposit. (Twelve reusable, disposable containers are included, each 13 inches long, 4 inches wide, and 3-1/2 inches deep.) The litter box can be plugged into a wall socket (AC adapter included) or operated on eight D-cell batteries (not included). It comes with a durable carpeted ramp that leads a cat into the box and cleans its paws on the way out. For safety, the rake stops and reverses at the slightest touch if an object gets in the way. If a cat re-enters the box before the initial 10 minutes have elapsed, the timer automatically resets. The litter box is made of hard plastic and measures 29 inches long, 8-7/8 inches high, and 16-3/4 inches wide. For proper operation, it requires premium, clumping litter but does not need as much as a nonautomated litter box of the same size. For cleaning, the litter tray can be detached. Instructions for acclimating a cat to the box are included. --Fred Brack
