 DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY July 30, 2008
I rate this item 1 star because there are no lower ratings that I can use. Read some of the other 1 star reviews for details of the problems with this machine. I have used two LitterMaid cat boxes for the past seven years and absolutely LOVE them. But one finally bit the dust and I ordered this new Elite Mega model as a replacement. I know, I know.... I read the reviews but just could not believe the product was as bad as they said since my original boxes were so great. Well, this piece of junk lived up (or down) to even the worst review! After suffering with it for a few months, I finally purchased a new machine; the older LitterMaid model Mega LM-900 and threw this new model machine in the trash. The LM-900 is a FAR superior machine and I am now quite happy with my decision. Suffice to say; DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY on this product! Buy one of the older LitterMaid models... you'll be happy you did!
 litterbox maybe better in newer models July 26, 2008
so I had left a bad review not that long ago about this litterbox, but I have to say I contacted customer service for littermaid and after some haggling they sent me a new box for 10 dollars, I know some people had complianed about paying 10 dollars for something covered under warranty but it is still cheaper than buying a new one. And I have to say this new one seems to work alot better, I was amazed!!! The last one was total crap clogging all the time, i was doing more scooping than the freaking litterbox was!! But this new one seems to be getting the job done. No complaints!!! I did spray pam in the bottom of the pan and on the rake, seems to help as well, sounds crazy but helps with the clumps sticking to the bottom which seemed to be a part of the jamming. So so far so good, if you have a chance to get the newer model (don't know how you would know) I would recommend it, seems to have a stronger motor in it then the older one, mine was about a yr.
Horrible Product July 25, 2008
I wish I could give NO STARS for this!!! I have to say that I have been a LOYAL customer of LitterMaid for almost 10 years and I just bought the LitterMaid Elite and I can not stand it. To begin with, you can not move the litter box without the top coming off. There are no latches to lock the top and bottom. It is MUCH louder than the older models and it does not clean at all. I still have to go up and scoop the litterbox every day. All the rake does is push the litter around and the poop gets stuck behind the rake. I guess that the only bonus is that the rake comes off so you can clean all the yucky litter out. The way the receptacles fit, all the litter falls out and I have it put together properly. I am so disappointed with this new model. I will be returning it and purchasing an older model. This product is terrible. If you want a good litter box, get the older models of the LitterMaid.
 go with the basic unless you need the special features July 23, 2008
I wish I had seen more of these reviews before buying the elite after my last one died. I have used these machines for almost 10 years... they lasted for a good 3-5 years each before they just stopped working. the older models were quite sturdy although haed to be careful with amount of litter and the newer tines are easier to clean. however this one is quite flimsy and have to take apart to pull the recepticle in and out. the recepticles really don't fit well especially the flimsy replacements. may be looking at alternatives soon as bit of a hassle to use...
 We LOVE this litter box July 21, 2008
I don't know what the other reviewers are doing to their litter boxes, but I have had this item for 5 months now and have not had a single problem with it.
This is one of the best purchases (next to the petmate freshflow water bowl) that I have made for my cat.
I have never had a problem with the rake or the amount of litter in the pan. yes some of the litter does end up under the receptacle... but a quick swipe with the vaccuum hose takes care of that, it's not a huge deal.. and it's not a HUGE amount that is under there..
My cat is also much happier with having her litter taken out of the box soon after she uses it.
I give this FIVE STARS!
