So is this basically an automatic version of the "rolling" Omega Paw? Omega Paw Self-Cleaning Litter Box, Large, Green and BeigeThanks...

I've had both. Omega Paw is fine, but I would always end up with a tiny amount of litter spilling onto the floor. And also, sometimes the clumps were either too big or too small for the tray to handle. Plus, you need a large section of clear floor space next to the box in order to roll it over. Yes, those are minor issues, but still. My main reason for buying the robot was due to one of my cats who refuses to cover his poop. With the robot, it takes care of it after 7 minutes. With the Omega Paw, I would have to stop what I'm doing and go deal with it myself.

It is, but it stays together when you roll it, and the "used" litter is deposited into a bag (I used the omega litter box along with a littermaid prior to biting the bullet and ordering a litter robot).

I was thinking the same thing, but thought through the long haul and going away on weekends this would be better for us. Off to find best price

Ana,I wouldn't call it a perfect fit. I have the same litter box, I had to play with the liner a bit but was ae to make it work just fine. It definitely fits better than the bag liners. What I like most about the liners is that unlike the plastic bag liners these do not tear when scooping. Plus they have small adhesive strips on both sides to hold the liner in place.

I put 1/2 new litter, and 1/2 old litter in the unit and didn't plug it in the first time. Nitro hasn't had any freight about it, he's just a kitten.... SorryPS: I love love love the unit! It's awesome

I did and do! In fact, I had three Littermaids (one after another, after each one broke), and now own two Litter Robots for my three cats. I also have cleaned a Littermaid monthly for years, and can tell you the Litter Robot is a LOT cleaner and easier to clean when you want to do it. The old Littermaids (before they became really bad quality) weren't bad. My first one broke because the line (that cord that used to stick out when the rake went forward) frayed and eventually broke. The two that followed both had the motors go, since I had a 19-pound male with kidney issues and the clumps were just too large and heavy for the motor. The current Littermaids (and I think the company is now defunct) have terrible motors, cheap plastic tray bottom, and don't get everything into the waste tray. I do not recommend them, period. Litter Robot: I have had one for about 6 years now, and the second one for about two years (when I got a third cat, decided we needed two). It is easy to use, easy to maintain, fits (despite looking large) in about the same footprint as a Littermaid, inexpensive to use after the initial cost (I use regular kitchen bags with flaps in the waste drawer rather than the ones they sell, and yes, you do use up less litter than the Littermaid did -- not sure how)...I LOVE my Litter Robots. My only caveat is that older cats might not want to switch into it, especially if they have never used a covered box. Customer service is fantastic (yes, I have had to send the bottom back for service), even if you are just calling with a "stupid" question. I could and have given lectures to people who stare at the spaceship in my house on why this is the best automated litter box on the market...:) A note: it says the Litter Robot is made to use all clumping litter including Swheat Scoop -- my experience living in a hot, humid climate is the very fine clumping litters don't work as well. I use Dr. Elsey's unscented clay now, and take the bag of waste clumps out of each box twice a week. If you get one, have fun!

It does but i never use them. I recommend not using the liners, actually. Just cleaning it once a month and putting new litter. The liners get soggy and i prefer this box without them. I have had it for a while and it's great.

one thing you can do is to rearrange the litter daily to "re-activate" the crystals. I have done this and it seems to help. If you are buying the premium kind, I know I haven 't had that problem.

No, you are not missing something. I couldnt keep the liner in place either. It is too small, and like you said needs a clip or 3 to keep it in place due to the unusual shape of the litter box. I think i used the liner for 2 days and gave up. I found it harder to scoop than without a liner anyway. I decided i would rather wash my litter box out completely every 3 weeks too a month when the litter needed to be changed then deal with the liner twice a day.

I don't know, but it is amazing in regular litter boxes. No more smell and no more dust.

My experience with the Litter Maid Elite has not been good. My old one worked really well, but this one does such a poor job that I ended up having to clean out the litter box as much as a non-automatic one. I found a couple of other self-cleaning ones on Amazon, but haven't ordered one yet. I'm sorry I couldn't recommend a specific one, but maybe someone else can. I hope you find one soon.

A scooper and an adapter. I would advise you not get this litter box. The older version of this littermaid worked great but the new model is a waste of money!! It constantly jams and defeats the purpose of having an "automatic" litter box because you constantly have to fix the rake. I threw this away after a week of owning it and purchased an Omega Paw rolling litter box and love it! Hope this helps!!

I bought this for my son. I will ask him. He said it is larger than the one he had before. Hard to believe he had the other littermaid litter box for 9 years! Good product!

That's actually pretty funny that you asked. When I am in a hurry I dont bother but when I am in my type A frenzy I hand pick each one out because it makes me crazy seeing poop in the box. Regardless of whether there are small pellets of poop in there, its still better than old fashioned litter and I'm sold on the Tidy Cats System.

If all of these boxes use the standard plastic litter collection box, this product is compatible. I used this replacement system for some time. Eventually I found it to messy and not worth the effort. I now use the standard collection system, empty the container contents into a plastic trash bag for disposal. The collection container may be reused multiple times to reduce costs.

My advice--do NOT buy the Ultra Micro Crystals!!! It is a very dusty litter and after the cats use the litter box, the tiny crystals go everywhere on the floor and the particles are so tiny, it is one big hassle to clean up! Plus, I worried about all that dust going in my lungs and also my cats' lungs. Just go with the Ultra Pearls, which is just fine.

Good question! Since my litter box was not far away, I thought I would check. Yes it does! Although I noticed in an area that had a heavier amount, the Shark kicked some back towards my feet but was soon vacuumed up. I also noticed that it did a great job along the edge of the molding.

I received an email from Amazon, asking if I can answer this! I have no idea if there is a difference, I only have the litterworks. I purchased it over a year ago and is holding up fine! They do appear to be the same, from the photos.

This NVR Miss Box sounds like a good option. Here's a link to a review:http://consciouscat.net/2011/09/20/nvr-miss-the-perfect-litter-box/
