Pet Zone Semi Automatic Cat Litter Box Self Cleaning - Smart Scoop Cat Litter Box with 6 Bags & Carbon Filter for Up to Two Cats 6-16 Pounds

Just buy it you wont be disappointed! You need to use a lightweight clumping litter with it. one that the rack can pass through. Dont get me wrong you still have to do a little maintain on it but literally once a week and emptying the plastic bag when its full. other than that the litter stays clean and fresh bad smells are dealt with in a timely fashion by the scoop. My two cats love it as well as being fascinated when it whirls in to action..

it does it's job, but it grinds a bit like its straining ands thats even when empty but it gets through and picks most of poop up now my cat has taken to riding on it, pity you cant get a cover for it...

I love this. It's been 8 months and it's still working, however I can see how the motor will wear out. But still, if I buy it one a year I still would because my god is it a god send with two cats. Key is to almost under fill, and use greenwoods natural litter, it's flushable and works perfectly. Biodegradable, not expensive.

Nice and easy to set up keeps litter clean all day do no worry about smell now

Smell issue dissapeared. Super!

I have been using this unit for nearly a year now. There are a few things that I have learned. I've tried multiple litters; light-weight, clumping litter seems to work best. I'm currently using the Tidy Cat with Fabreze. I've tried the "all natural crushed walnut" litter; once. It molded like crazy. Don't over-fill it! About an inch of litter in the unit is all you need. If you over-fill it, it will have a hard time pushing through the litter. Don't think that you won't ever have to clean it. The rake doesn't always get to the very bottom of the pan, so if urine has clumped down on the bottom of the pan, it's time for a cleaning. The great part is, cleaning it is pretty simple. The rake / collector unit lifts off by simply pulling the black lever under the lid. The motor comes off by unlocking it and sliding it. Everything except the motor itself can be washed, hosed off, whatever. I think I end up completely changing the litter and giving it a thorough cleaning about every 2 months; and this is with THREE CATS. I mean, let's face it. There will never be a completely automated cat litter box that doesn't need occasional maintenance; but I have to say that this one is about as close as you can get. I empty the tray every few days (mainly when I see that the lid isn't closing completely because it's full), and give it a hose down every couple of months. The only down side about this box that I have found is that while it does appear to have a sensor for when the cat is IN the box, it doesn't appear to have one if the cat is behind the mechanism. This did result in one of our cats getting briefly trapped in the unit; needless to say he never did it again. He wasn't injured, and the motor-release was right there, but it did cause me some worry about how he may have been injured if we weren't right there. I suppose that would be my biggest request for this unit; put a motion sensor on the back side of the mechanism, so cats who are a little short in the brains department (like one of mine) doesn't get trapped by the returning mechanism. Pros: Works quite well, even in a multi-cat environment. Isn't super noisy Easy to disassemble and clean Motor seems well built and rugged Cons: Overfilling it can cause it to stop working Power failure will turn the unit off; it won't clean until you turn it back on. No sensor to avoid entrapment on the return cycle of the unit Overall, this is a good purchase for the money.

Excelente producto. Adiós a la limpieza rutinaria y al mal olor. Funciona perfectamente con cualquier bolsa de plástico de súper, fácil de limpiar, funciona con cualquier arena aglutinante. Mi gatos felices.

its very bad quality

Electric Plug not suitable for Australia. Note says there is lead in lead wire. Cannot use it yet due to Plug.

I purchased my first Pet Zone Smart Scoop from Canadian Tire over six years ago and it just recently broke down over all those years of continuous use. I had very positive dealings with the company when they VOLUNTARILY sent me an updated rake for the litter box I originally purchased, and so, I had no hesitation with replacing my old one with a new one sold through Amazon. Yes, you will have to scrape up the odd stuck on litter clump or buried treasure, but I find I only have to do this once a week, and kitty loves her clean litter box. As far as I am concerned, Pet Zone uses a tried and true technology without bells and whistles. It just does the job efficiently and I am pleased to recommend this product.
