Large, Noisy, Clumsy, Messy, Expensive...

byAndyman Feb 3, 2007
34 Helpfuls 35 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Keeps pan relatively clean most of the time.
Cons Noisy, litter spills, design doesn't work as well as it should, expensive.
Recommended it? No

While the LitterMaid Elite Mega doesn't completely fail as a product, I regret spending money on it. It is poorly designed and cheaply made, noisy, messy, and requires you to buy disposable refills forever. Overall not worth the money.

The unit "self-cleans" by dragging a rake of metal... Read full review »

The Story: Why I Bought this Litter Box
I owned an older LitterMaid for a while, which I also reviewed on epinions so I won't go into that too much. The bottom line was that I liked it enough to not want to ever live without an automatic litterbox ever again, but I saw room for improvement... Read full review »

I think they've got it, by Jove I think they've go it!

byproserpina Jun 1, 2006

Pros No smell, minimal care.
Cons It's a bit louder than the old model, but the timer makes up for that.
Recommended it? Yes

When my old LitterMaid broke, I was so frustrated. Not only did the thing need as much attention as any regular litter box, but then the silly thing decided to break on me. Getting it fixed would have cost me the same as buying a new one (apparently, they do have a battery heating problem), so I... Read full review »

Seems ok, on par for a littermaid automatic box

25 Helpfuls 26 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Bigger, Timer, Ionic Cleaner, removable rake, scoop
Cons Expensive, stuff gets stuck behind rake, assembly directions
Recommended it? Yes

I had one of the old littermaid basic self cleaning litter boxes. Used it sucessfully for around 4 years and last year it broke. I thought that I could get by without one but my cats revolted. They were used to having a clean litter box and a human only scooping every two days or so was... Read full review »

Pros Never have to scoop again. Easy and quick cleanup. Ionic cleaner works very well.
Cons Cost of replacement waste bins. The kitty kabana doesn't fit perfectly. Noisy...
Recommended it? Yes

I previously owned the Petmate Purrforma Plus Jumbo size box. It was a nightmare. After speaking with a couple of friends(one which was a vet assistant) I decided to do more research on the Littermaid product. Of course my friends owned the older models loved them. I saw many negative reviews on... Read full review »

A BIG step backwards from the old LitterMaid Mega

byfrednewjr Apr 30, 2007
19 Helpfuls 20 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Ionizer, slightly less work than a regular litter box
Cons Weak motor, cheap construction, still messy
Recommended it? No

Like several of the reviewers here, I also had the old version of the LitterMaid Mega. Mine died after 5 years of continuous use. After seeing the new LitterMaid Elite Mega at Target, I didn't even hesitate at the $100 price. I really wish that I had. Here are the main reasons to avoid this... Read full review »

Don't waste your money!

17 Helpfuls 18 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Not much... The sleep timer is nice.
Cons Wastes a lot of litter. Have to scoop at least daily.
Recommended it? No

I have owned Littermaid litter boxes for about eight years. In general, they don't seem to last more than a few years each (the motor just wears out), but considering what they do for us, we've always been willing to purchase a new one when the old one died. As our last Littermaid began dying, we... Read full review »

NOT self-cleaning in ANY SENSE of the word - save your money

byinesvmd Oct 16, 2006
17 Helpfuls 18 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Detachable rake
Cons Weak motor, rake stops midway through scooping preventing the litter box from being used.
Recommended it? No

I had the old version of the LitterMaid Mega that was the greatest litter box ever made! The motor finally died after four wonderful years of use by three cats (That's twelve years of cat life!) The biggest problem I had with that machine was that every so often the rake would get clumped with a... Read full review »

Used for 2 years & love it. Keeps dog out of the cat poop!

bypokerwidow74 Jul 2, 2007

Pros Cleans easily, keeps dog out of litter, cleans with every use & smells under control!
Cons Purchase price cost, liners cost. May scare some shy cats. Need outlet near plug in.
Recommended it? Yes

Bought it just after we adopted a cat from the humane society and she adapted well to it. I use the plug, not the batteries, cause the batteries died in a few weeks. I empty pan 2 x a week. Can just dump container out, replace, or use plastic grocery bag to line it. She uses it and 10 minutes later... Read full review »

Don't buy it

bykaybrownfox Feb 20, 2007
16 Helpfuls 17 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros When it worked, however rarely, it was great.
Cons Expensive, Dirty, flimsy, unreliable
Recommended it? No

We have three cats. I purchased one and it lasted for a good two years, with constant attention. It was right in front of us so we were able to un-clump it constantly. When it finally died I was excited to see the new style with the metal rake! I took it home, set it up and walked away. I found... Read full review »
