Better late than never...sorry everyone! I was supposed to start this review on jan 1, but now it is Feb 1
I have two of these Litter robots and would not trade them for anything...below is a description by the company and then you will see my Pros and Cons...http://www.litter-robot.com
The Litter Robot is the automatic, self cleaning litter box for cats 'that really works'. When your cat enters the litter chamber (globe) a weight activated sensor detects the presence of your cat. After 7 minutes a clean cycle starts with the slow rotation of the globe in a counter-clockwise direction. The rotation of the globe sifts and separates clumps from the clean litter (clumping litter) and deposits all waste in the large capacity drawer lined with a standard kitchen garbage bag. The globe then returns to its home position with a clean, level bed of litter ready for the next use. The Litter Robot has no rakes or wires to jam, clog, or break. Its simplicity and durable construction ensure a long life of service. The Litter Robot operates on 12VDC and is easy to set up - just add litter to the globe and plug it in.

- All cats are using it, which surprises me
- Can turn off at night if noise bothers you and then turn on in the morning to clean
- Do not need to use bags at all and can just use the plastic waste drawer, but must then soak and clean the waste drawer once/week
- Uses less litter than conventional litter boxes
- 90 Day guarantee - if you don't like it or the cat won't use it, you send it back...you just need to make sure you keep the box it came in.
- 18 mo warranty
- Has an extender for larger cats (this is the one I have) - Litter Robot ll Bubble
- Can be a tad noisy for light sleepers
- Cannot be used with kittens/cats under 5 pounds
- Peeks the interest of kittens/cats who then go and step on it to see what is going on, stopping the cleaning process - it does resume, but sometimes I have to hit the on/off switch..Cinny is famous for stopping the globe rotation
- Needs something to prevent cats from entering the globe while it is rotating, although I have not had an issue with this, it would be nice
- Total smells are not prevented if waste gets in the drawer instead of the plastic bag - cleaning the drawer and wiping it down then eliminates any smell
- if enough litter is not in globe, urine can stick to liner, so be sure to replace litter when it gets low...
- Not for very large cats, although my 16 pound Savannah uses it with no problem
