Needs revamped, made cheaper
Of all the things I have bought in my day, these things by far are the most over-priced item out there for what you get. Honestly, a piece of plastic for your cat's doo-doo, and a lid. Give me a break! Maybe they should charge $10 each for them, maybe they could stay in business with that! I guess that's where their money stays consistent after you buy the Littermaid box but really! <

>Anyway, with that gripe out of the way, these things work fairly well. They do get heavy and the doo-doo can spill out if you're not careful, but I just empty mine into one of those plastic grocery store bags, tie it, and dispose of it the night before garbage day. That way, it's not smelling up the garbage, the house, the garage, the garbage man's hands or face, and it just works out very well. But if you have more than one cat and high usage, then maybe a galvanized can for the disposal of the grocery store bags would be in order if you're emptying it more than once a week. My cat goes outside sometimes so I don't have as much to worry about smell-wise. But if I still lived in my apartment with this thing, I'd be emptying the liner contents into the grocery bag and taking it out to the dumpster daily. It just keeps everyone happy that way. These things curb the odor some, but not that much. <

Inconsistent quality so far
The receptacles I got with my first Littermaid (for multiple cats) were very flimsy. The replacement box of 12 (as shown) I got afterward were also flimsy. This did not stop us from reusing the trays over and over. It doesn't make sense not to, but eventually they get pretty brutalised from removal and reinsertion. <

>Oddly enough, when we got our second LitterMaid (regular sized) the receptacles that came with it were sturdier and more durable. Why they arent all manufactured at this thickness is beyond me. Actually, I'm sure it's a case of trying to get more money out of us at cheaper manufacturing cost, but it's a little ridiculous when they are that flimsy.

beats the alternative
This is a good thing. Overpriced? Yeah. But I don't have to play scoop for poop anymore. The cat's box being in the laundry with the dryer running can be repulsive. This is way better than cleaning the box several times a day. Yeah, the plastic containers are a little hokey, but everyone's gotta make a dime. My cat's almost entirely automatic now! I have a self-filling food bowl, a water bowl with a resevoir that filters the cat's water, and now, the lovely self-cleaning box! <
>Considering my cat has a new fun hobby of sitting on the kitchen table at night, I feel much better going to sleep knowing that she's not walking on piles of poo four or five times a day.
