If you want a neater easier system to replace your standard litter box you might want to consider the LitterMaid self cleaning litter box. LitterMaid makes a few different models of automated litter boxes, and in this article we'll be looking at some of their features. We'll also be addressing both the benefits of these products and some of the complaints users have had.
LitterMaid Automatic Litter Boxes clean up waste, which gets detected by an infrared sensor, about ten minutes after you cat leaves the box. Because the waste is disposed of quickly, this box helps reduce odors while also having the advantage of not having to clean it yourself. With a traditional box, the waste can sit for hours stinking up your house, because you can't be around to clean it all the time. LitterMaid automatic boxes rake waste into a covered container quickly, which is more sanitary.
The LitterMaid makes the One-Step Litterbox that is semiautomatic for those that don't want to buy an expensive model. There are other units that are more expensive, but this one you have to step on a pedal to have the rake sweep away the waste. Yes this litter box is still easier than the traditional litter box as you don't have to scoop anything and its sanitary. This One-Step model comes with a four waste receptacle and four carbon filters, almost like the fully auto ones, so odors are controlled. You can take the rake out that makes it easy to clean. This semi-automated litter box sells for about $69, as opposed to the fully automated ones, which are over $100, so this is a good solution for anyone on a budget.
Some that own the LitterMaid Self-Cleaning Litter Boxes have complained about the unit making noises when cleaning. Some people are more sensitive to noises than others, but the fact is you will hear it, and it may be disturbing to you at times. To help with the noise problem, some of the LitterMaid models come with a timer, so when the cat uses the box in the middle of the night it won't wake you. There is an one drawback you have to deal with, when it comes to any kind of self-cleaning litter box, it makes noise. LitterMaid as you can see is well known as a leading manufacturer in self cleaning litter boxes. This is a technology that's not completely free from problems, but one thing you have to keep in mind, if you read product reviews written by customers is that, while they're valid, they're often written by people with complaints. Most people will report when they are having an issue with something but with litter boxes they rarely report the good because it's not something they often give much thought to when it's functioning properly. These litter boxes represent and advanced system that is still somewhat imperfect when dealing with kitty litter issues.
