Litter Robot Ii Bubble Unit - Automatic Self Cleaning Litter Box, Gray Unit
Review by Simon : Litter Robot II is worth it

The LRII came quickly in the mail. One quick note, the box is bigger than one might expect. The instructions provided are straight forward and simple. Set up took about 5 minutes and that includes reading a little of the manual. After the set up, I followed the instructions and put litter in it and a small sample of matter from the old boxes. I left it off overnight and was pleased to see that both cats had used it during the night. I turned it on and voila.

A week later, I have retired four litter boxes and couldn't be happier. Not only does the house smell great, it also just feels cleaner somehow. No more random litter sprays or accidents when the cat has his butt hung the wrong way.

350 bucks is well worth it. The litter box goes from a nuisance to something that's mildly entertaining.

Review by D. Orton : Cage Match!

I adopted my third cat over the summer. With the addition I added a new Littermaid to my existing 10 year old littermaid. I was excited about the new look and features of the new Littermaid. HOWEVER, when I got it I noticed that it didn't work as well as the old one. It didn't just remove solids, but bulldozed out clean litter as well. This proved to be very problematic. It went through a great deal more litter, more receptacles, and I had to constantly remove ick from the tines that scoop the ick out. While on vacation the person watching my cats reported that the old littermaid died and they had purchased me a new one to replace it. Upon my return I learned of the thoughtful gesture and didn't have the heart to tell them that I hated it and they esentially wasted their money on junk. At some point I just turn both boxes off and started scooping the old-fashioned way out of frustration at how much litter I was constantly hauling to the house. That helped, but was the exact opposite of 'automatic litterbox'. In September a little lost kitten found me. Four cats and two horrible Littermaids was not working. I added a plastic box that looks like a rubbermaid tote with a textured lid to help with track off. It came down to cats having innapropriate eliminations out of frustration with the box situation that forced me into action. I'd been looking at CatGenie and Litter Robot online for awhile (since getting the horrible new LitterMaids), but felt like I'd spent way too much already. Cats peeing next to the boxes change all that. It was either get rid of the rescued kitten or do something drastic. I came home one night and got online and bought one CatGenie and one Litter Robot. I've been able to remove one Littermaid entirely and am working at getting the other out of here too. (Anyone in the market for two used Littermaids? lol ) Both new waste disposal systems are working great. I love them both. The cats do too. The Genie is a great solution for places that have water and a drain option. It's louder than I thought it would be, but doesn't bother anyone. I was surprised how long the cleaning cycle takes. But for never buying litter again that is really not a problem. The Robot is so quiet and actually sort of fun. I got the kind with the clear bubble on the back for my two larger cats. They all like looking out. I think the extra light it lets in made it much less frightening for them initially. It is taller than I anticipated, but again, for the convenience that is a little thing to consider. I would make sure you really think out where it will go first. The place I had anticipated putting it won't work. It is tall enough according to the measurements, but it doesn't account for the extra space needed to lift the globe onto the base. Both new systems are worlds apart from the icky, smelly, costly newer-style Littermaids. If you do go with the Littermaid option, go with the ugly, tan, boxy ones which are much cheaper. If they worked like the original model I had it will work reasonably well, but still can't touch either of the new systems. The best part is I got to keep the little lost kitten and the inappropriate peeing has stopped!

Review by Joe : Best purchase I've made all year.

It took a little time for my two cats to get used to it, but now that they have I couldn't be happier with it. Not being a slave to scooping litter every night has been wonderful.
