How does the litter box work? What makes it begin the cleaning action?

You have to roll the litter box until it is up side down. I hit the sides to remove the stuck on urine. Don't do this real hard. Then you roll it back, basically follow the directions right on it. Remove the litter tray and throw away. You can add more litter if needed. The cleaning action starts when you roll it over.

There is no cleaning action other than when you roll it over. It works poorly, at best. Read some of the negative review, including mine, or see the video on YouTube. I've thrown the ones I bought in the trash.

You manually roll it over. Don't waste your money, I threw it away after a few months ... just plain old scooping is much faster!!

You roll it over to initiate the cleaning action. It does not clean itself. You roll it. The clumps come out and when you roll it back and the clumps fall into tray

You roll it till it's on its top, then roll it back. I bought this litter box, and love it. Waaay easier than scooping out. I think this is a fantastic product.

It does REALLY limit the litter mess from a traditional box. It does not 100% eliminate it though, they track a very trace amount out that is caught in their toes. It's very minimal though. With normal weekly vacuuming, all is gone in a flash. So, yes it does! Not to mention how amazing it is otherwise... hope this helps! I should mention I use the "dustless" litter I bought here on Amazon as well, so that's probably some of the reason it works better too.

I don't know "how" it work, but rather it does work and incredibly. It is so small, you'd think it would be worthless but it's not. The cat box for our two cats is in our laundry room, this little gem keeps that room smelling so clean you'd never know that box was in there. It is well worth the money, you will not be disappointed.

That's what I did initially but it you leave the pee sitting in the litter box for a long time, it's gonna smell badly. Because the pee always goes down to the bottom of the box and the sand does not clump, I had trouble cleaning it. I had to mix the crystal with another cat sand product (Arm & Hammer) in order let pee sand to clump and reduce pee odor.

The cardboard liner box fits in the bottom and makes it easier to lift out and clean. The liner boxes are more expensive than I would have thought for cardboard. So I cover the liner box with a litter bag (31") and install it. The bag protects the box which then provides mechanical support when removing. Just dispose of the litter bag when it needs to be changed and reuse the cardboard liner.

There's a lid on top that you open to dispose of the litter waste. Inside is a plastic bag that catches the waste. It stores the waste out of sight and traps any odor inside.

I just run mine under the tap on the bathtub and then set it out to air dry. Dirt does build up in the part that you can see dirt in. About once every two or weeks...I have two cats, I get Lysol cleaner and clean the whole thing out with water into all areas. Yes, It empties hygienically, but like dirt everywhere, some remains, so on with the gloves and scrub it clean, then it takes about a day to dry...a whole day...groan, which is why I am thinking of getting the smaller canister vac. I have the big one, but when the cleaning is over, then I need something for the next day!!!!

Usually rabbits will pick a corner in their cage to go potty. Then put your litter box in that corner. In the beginning I would even put some of the soiled bedding inside the litter box so they can smell that it's there. They will usually pick it up fairly quickly.

It can't do much when its "bigger" objects. It's pretty much just a moving box with a wet tower tucked under its belly. Its a floor mop after all. If it is your first robotic cleaning device that you are looking for, I highly recommend buying a Roomba first, its a vacuum cleaner, can get 95% of the dirt sucked up.Another note: My mint just broke down after 3 months. Currently in the process of sending it back for repair/replacement. Let me tell you the process isn't super smooth so far.

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 read the ad/description & don't quite know what they mean by Litter Scoop Free Maintenance. You have to scoop the poop. Doesn't matter to me. I'm still loving this litter box. With it's higher sides, front & back it really cuts down on the amt. of litter that ends up outside the litter box.

I use Tidy Cats light weight clumping litter and it works wonderfully with this litter box. I no longer dread cleaning it.

My previous litter box didn't have liners, so when my cat scratched the bottom, it became very grimy. The liner prevents that and generally makes changing litter easier. I can lift the liner and litter out and throw them all away at once then wipe down the inside, and I find that to be a lot cleaner.

Extremely well. We always track in a lot of grit on or shoes, and cats litter box mess is also quite messy. The flair sucks up everything. I'm really surprised at how powerful it is.

I have not had a problem with anything getting stuck. The litter absorbs and clumps and moves everything along but you will have residue that will build up so it will require occasional cleaning. You can take it outside and spray out with a water hose and clean it. My only wish is that it had an electronic eye and would turn itself on automatically instead of requiring the cat to step on the mechanism. I have a cat that just jumps in and out without triggering it, so I have to check it a few times during the day and manually trigger it and after I have been at work all day, I can smell urine when I get home because the box has not cleaned itself.

Hi, every time you sit down it cleans the wand. You can press the and clean Button and it extends out and consistently keeps wetting itself so you can"clean" it. If it needs cleaning, typically I use my 10:1 dish soap spray bottle and spray it, then I retract it so it flushes it with water. Then I extend it out again to make sure it's clean. In the very rare case its still dirty, I get a piece of toilet paper and lightly wipe it. Its real easy to clean it. I love the toilet, it's really fantastic. Hope it helps.

We have 3 cats, and it's enough, but we must empty the dirty litter 2 or 3 times a week. One Litter Robot might be enough for you, but be prepared to empty it every day, which simply involves opening the drawer, taking out the bag with the used litter, replacing a fresh bag, and adding some clean litter to the LR. Still, you'll enjoy the advantage of not smelling the litter box, and not scooping. Also, you don't need to use their bags - shop around.
