A look at the LittleMaid Self-Cleaning Litter Box

Cat owners have been tempted to try self-cleaning litter boxes over traditional litter boxes. When it comes to scooping out litter from a box daily, is a task that no one enjoys. If you’re thinking of an automatic litter box, there are a lot of brands to choose from. In this article on LitterMaid cat boxes, we will be going over features and reasons for wanting this product.

One of the main advantages of LitterMaid litter boxes is that odor is controlled because waste is raked into an airtight container, unlike a traditional litter box where it just sits there until you clean it up. There’s also an ionic air cleaner that freshens the air. For many cat owners, the odor of the litter box is the main disadvantage of having a cat, which makes this an attractive solution. Of course, you do have to clean the rake and replace the filters every so often, but you are saved the trouble of having to clean out the litter box every day. If you choose a box cover you can control the odor even more.

The LitterMaid makes the One-Step Litterbox that is semiautomatic for those that don’t want to buy an expensive model. Unlike some of their expensive units, you have to step on a pedal to sweep away the waste. This unit is still easier and more sanitary than the traditional cat box, as you don’t have to do any scooping. Like fully automated models, the One-Step comes with a four waste receptacle and four carbon filters that also controls odors. You can take the rake out that makes it easy to clean. This semi-automated litter box sells for about $69, as opposed to the fully automated ones, which are over $100, so this is a good solution for anyone on a budget.

Some owners of LitterMaid Automatic Self-Cleaning Litter Boxes complain about the noise the unit makes when cleaning. The fact that you can hear the unit, may be more disturbing to others. There is a sleep timer on some of the Liter Maid models that come equipped, so when a cat uses the box in the middle of the night it won’t wake you. In general, if you want any kind of self-cleaning litter box, it will probably not be silent, so this is one of the drawbacks you have to deal with.

For anyone who dislikes cleaning a standard litter box every day the LitterMaid Self Cleaning Litter Box is the perfect alternative. These boxes aren’t perfect for everyone, some have experienced failing rakes among other things. This is probably your best solution although not ideal for everyone you are the only one who can decide that for sure.
