Autoscooper 11 Open-Top Self Cleaning Cat Litter Box, Automatic Cat Litter Box for Multiple Cats with Trash Bags and Litter Mat Included, White

Okay, here's the scoop (pun intended), this automatic litter box is great! We had another automatic litter box that was much more expensive and took more time and was harder to clean. This box is much easier! We have 8 rescue cats and were trying to find an easier way to clean litter. One of our cats have a limp and it was difficult for her to get into the litter box so we got a small step stool and put it in front of the litter box and she does just fine. In fact, we have bought 5 of these litter boxes and have a step in front them all. The other cats like the ease of the step also. The only issue so far is one of our cats gets aggressive in the digging and flings litter out on the floor but we can deal with that. The box is always clean and ready to go and we've noticed that there is no smell. This is a very affordable box that works great!!

The media could not be loaded. I am simply blown away by this box! I found it by chance and decided to cautiously order it after hearing stories of the cheap boxes being dangerous and squishing cats.Let me start off with safety:- the box never fully closed during the cleaning cycle, so even if the sensors were to malfunction, your cat would never be in danger- the sensors work really well during the cleaning cycle and me even briefly putting my hand in immediately stops everythingPackaging, design, quality:My boyfriend’s jaw dropped when I told him how affordable this box was. Our friends have the litter robot 4 and this is honestly the same quality. The packaging and design was beautiful. Nicely written instructions including QR codes for video and digital instructions, not the kind you sometimes get with cheap products where there are typically many mistranslations. It took me all but 5 minutes to set up!- even the box had beautiful branding and honestly, the whole thing looks like it would cost about $900-1000. It’s amazing!Usage and size:- we have two very large cats (they are light weight but large, around 13lbs, but cannot fit into a regular cat carrier) and one small girl. So far, my large blind tuxedo is the biggest fan of the box! We bought a step because the entrance is quite high and I put their familiar rug on the step to help. As any of the automatic litter boxes, it is somewhat small for large cats. However, my Elvi just uses it sideways and that seems to work.- Blind Elvi learned to use it the same night that I set it up! We started off with it unplugged so not to spook her with any of the movement and by the next morning, she was a pro!- there are two steps to the cleaning. One is shortly after the cat used it, maybe 60s later? It seems to be their levelling function which as I understand is to make sure the clump does not stick to the bottom. Then it waits a few minutes to give the litter time to tightly clump (about 5min I think) and then removes it. It does so very efficiently without wasting any unused litter!- we use a tofu litter with it that’s specifically designed for automatic litter boxes (soysand) and it works beautifullyWaste container:- The container is a clever design with special bin bags that are shallow but have a very wide opening that spans the entirety of the bin. It’s designed in a way that you can pull the draw string before even opening the container to avoid any unpleasantries.- it comes with a roll of plenty of these special bags but for now, I might just remove the waste and reuse the bag and see how that works. If it gets stinky, I’ll obviously replace. I’ve only had the box a few days so can’t yet speak about this.Training:- I didn’t have to do much training for my blind cat, just mostly dug in the (clean, new) litter so she could hear the familiar sound. This got her curious and she kept checking it out on her own- I read on Reddit that people have put a poop from another litter box into their automatic box to help the cats understand they needed to use it. In our case, this was not necessary but it’s a good tip- responses to cleaning cycle: my cat was initially spooked with the sound but then got very curious and now just loves to lay by her box and wait for it to move (she hasn’t worked out yet that it only cleans after she used it)All in all, this is the best purchase I’ve made for my cats apart from GPS trackers. Yes, it doesn’t have an app but I honestly don’t think this is necessary? We will be purchasing a second one soon to have in the living room. We are keeping at least one stainless steel litter tray for our large boy since he prefers to have more space (despite being the same size as our large girl). Our large girl (featured in the videos) is actively choosing this automatic box over her clean, usual stainless steel box. I think that says it all!

We got a kitten within the last 6 months and this thing has been a lifesaver. It keeps the litter clean and smelling great so your cat won't have a problem using the box instead of your floor and instead of having to manually scoop daily. It automatically cleans 5 minutes after your cat leaves the box and has plenty of sensors to stop if your cat returns. Reviewers saying it dumps the litter every time didn't read the directions and remove the blue plastic cover that you save and is used to dump the litter intentionally. Additionally, it's super easy to set up and use, fairly sturdy In case your small dog tries to jump in after the cat or something 😂, and the design doesn't take a whole lot of space. Overall, I would highly recommend this unit to anybody with a cat or three!

It was a slow process to get my cat to use this box but now that she does, it works great. My cat was a feral cat for the first few years of her life and to say she is skiddish is an understatement. I made the mistake of trying to transition her immediately to the auto clean mode and she was having none of it. She was deeply suspicious of the noise and motion.So I tried a more gradual approach. First I put it out without the tray underneath and the legs and it was unplugged. So, it was a regular litter box at that point. I would put the legs and tray back in place and run it through a manual cycle once a day. My next step was to leave the legs and tray in place with "steps" up to it so she could stand outside of it. I put it in manual mode and only ran it when she wasn't around. Occasionally she would come into the room while it was still in motion and she would stare at it. But she continued to use it. I learned to run it multiple times a day.Finally, I put it in automatic mode. She is still suspicious, but she uses it. I think having a step at the height of the unit so she doesn't have to jump into it blind helps her. She likes to scratch with her front paws before she gets all the way in. I think she enjoys having a clean box every time. It does a good job of containing the odor. Changing the bag in the tray is reasonably quick and certainly much easier than scooping litter every day. I use clumping litter from Costco and it works great.The unit is easy to assemble and disassemble for cleaning. The documentation is adequate, but I wish it has a better troubleshooting section.
