Recommended Automatic Litter Boxes

Automatic litter boxes appeal to a lot of cat owners because they take a lot of the work off your hands and make owning a cat seem less troublesome. However, many people don't know that most automatic litter boxes could actually be more trouble than they are worth. Automatic litter boxes are a rather new concept, and a lot of brands are not adequately designed.

Sometimes, during the cleaning process, the gear and/or the rake could get caught on the waste and hold up. Or, the motor can be so noisy it will wake you up in the middle of the night. Some litterboxes even throw waste material across the room during self-cleaning! These things cause people who have purchased them to be sorry for ever investing in one.

However, there are some litter boxes that are well-designed and have many people satisfied with the over-all product. Although just about every product has the potential of not working properly, some are less prone to cause problems for their owners. The automatic litter boxes listed below are the most reliable on the market today.

Petsafe Simply Clean

The most dependable, safe, and low cost!

Unlike other automatic litter boxes, the Petsafe Simply Clean litter box not only goes through the cleaning cycle after your cat leaves, it continuously moves and deposits waste into a plastic bag.

This is one of the most dependable automatic litter boxes you can find, because it has no accessible moving gears that could possibly hurt your cat. There are no odors, as the cleansing is continual. The only things that will need to be replaced are the clumping litter and plastic bags. Plastic bags from the supermarket will work just fine.

Also, the Petsafe litterbox is priced quite low, compared with similar products. Though the quality of the Petsafe litter box is much greater than the similar products. It's a great buy, and it's highly recommended.

Litter Robot

The Most Durable!

A few minutes after your cat has left the litter box, the Litter Robot drops the waste into a plastic bag underneath. This brand eliminates odors quite well compared to other brands, and the motor is very quiet.

Another reason why the Litter Robot is a good brand is that it has low upkeep cost. The only things that you will need to replace are the plastic bag and clumping litter. The plastic bags can be any type of bags, even plastic grocery bags will work.

The Litter Robot may cost quite a bit upfront, but the low upkeep costs will save you a considerable amount of money in the long run. Also, the Litter Robot is very durable, so the chance that you will have to replace it anytime soon after you buy it is slim to none. The Litter Robot is highly recommended!

ScoopFree

The most Unique Litter Box with Low Maintenance!

Like most of the other brands of automatic litter boxes for cats, ScoopFree uses a rake to move the waste to a tray a few minutes after the cat leaves. However, one thing about ScoopFree sets it apart from the others. Instead of using clumping litter that needs to be replaced regularly, it uses litter crystals that can be used over and over again to absorb moisture in the waste to reduce odors.

The ScoopFree litter box is available at a very decent price in comparison to other automatic litter boxes. The only upkeep cost is for the tray, which must be replaced once it is full. This box is pretty low-maintenance. Although a few consumers have complained about the motor being a bit noisy, and some odor being present, I would still recommend this litter box as being one of the few good ones currently available.

    Great information. I now have The Litter Robot and feed Natural Balance ultra cat food because both made such a difference in my house. The food reduced the waste and both the litter box and the food made cleanup easier. And the odor got much better – my house doesn’t smell anymore!

    We've got lots of kitties, so I'm always excited about the latest and greatest litter boxes. All of the automatic ones I've tried required clumping litter, which doesn't work with my messy cats.

    It sounds like the ScoopFree would work best for you then. It's the only one that I have seen that doesn't use clumping litter.

    The ScoopFree is the cheapest one that I recommend. It's only $75 on Amazon (you can see above in the "Get it on Amazon" module). Compared to others, that's a really good price!
