How does this item do in containing the odor of fresh poop? With my current CleverCat box, the room smells like poop for 15 minutes after my cat poops. Even if I scoop the poop out immediately, the smell lingers.

It does much better than an a open box... For my cats, this box gives them the ability to cover their poop well (more room to turn around and maneuver....), minimizing smell...

Try scooping some poop out of the other box, place it in the new one and unplug the box until he/she uses it. Then plug it in once a day and hit the button to cycle but dont leave it going. Unplug it once it has cycled. I have the same issues with my cats but we are on week 3 or 4 and they are almost never using the old cat box anymore. Slow transition. They need to trust it.

This would definitely benefit you! After the cats use the litterbox the robot automatically rotates and drops the waste into a drawer at the bottom therefore eliminating the odor. There is a place inside the drawer that you insert a carbon filter that helps absorb the odor. I have 2 cats & usually only have to empty the drawer once a week. Hope that helps answer your question. It is an expensive machine but I truly believe it is worth the money.

I was wondering the same question. I just got it for my 3 rats, the odor control is great but I caught them eating some. I'm worried about that. What's your experience with that litter? Thanks for hour help.

Well every cat is different, but I'd say the transition should be gradual. Definitely pour some of his old litter with some feces in there so he can learn to associate the smell with bathroom. Keeping his old box out for a bit of time is a good idea too, at least until you see that he willingly (and often) uses the Clevercat box.

I've never used the litter genie,only because I came across this one first. I can say I am very satisfied with this one. I have 4 cats and a filler bag lasts me about 6weeks. I empty the bag/tie it off and remove litter once a week and I have never had any odor issues. Hope this helps.

I recently purchased this and we have 1 cat , We remove the bag every 2 weeks and discard it . There is no odor @ all. I scoop the box a few times per day and we love this thing it keeps the smell contained inside. Highly recommend this!!!

No, the litter is clay pellets which I purchase and you only need to change the pellets once per month. I clean the feces out daily and the urine passes through to the pads which are in the bottom. The urine pads are changed once per week and there is absolutely no odor. I have two cats and use two litter boxes but could probably get by with one. For me, this is absolutely the best, cleanest, and most economical system with the benefit of not having to deal with odors. Hope this helps

I definitely agree with all of the comments. Not a worry for poop. I have 1 cat and I replace the disposable box ONCE A MONTH. BEST $100 purchase EVER.

I suggest that it be done at least 2-3 days. I have a 5-1/2 month old kitten and she poops more than any cat I have ever had. I clean it out every 3 days. So, it depends on your cat. Good luck!

There is only the smell directly after they go. To me there is 90% less smell than with a regular cat box with the best. I suggest you buy the unscented solution. The solution that comes with the catgenie is quite strong. Its a clean smell but strong and it dissipates. My genie always cleans completely. I set mine to clean 10 minutes after the cat uses it which also will extend the solution uses.

approx 2 months... but it depends on how stinky your cat is. :) I also find it works best to pour a little in before the litter, and then a little on top.

I have virtually no smell with this system. One thing I noticed is if I take a peek at the pad then the smell seems to develop so I change the pads twice a week rather they need it or not. I have 3 boxes and 2 cats.

Yes!!!!Just be diligent about scooping but I work from home and have two litter boxes in my office. Before, I would be overwhelmed and have to scoop 2-3 times a day to handle the odor. Now, if I forget a day or two, its not the end of the world. And one of the cats has really smelly stuff.

The box lasts for two changes. Depending on the number of cats you have; I had two cats and would completely change the litter every 2-3 weeks, but scoop and stir it at least once a week.

I'm told this litter works with covered or uncovered box. So would definitely try it! My 12 year old cat who has never used a litter box actually uses the box for his feces now! I'm still training him not to use my bathroom rugs for urinination! I would try this litter for your cat. Expensive but worth every penny. Cats are creatures of habit so keep this in mind. Try to catch him using the floor and just gently put him or her over into the litter box. My cat would not use any other litter for years!!!
