 Better than scooping... July 26, 2008
I bought the Littermaid about 5 years ago and it lasted about 3 years which is pretty good.
The Good:
The cat liked it.
It kept the dog out of the kitty roca.
No more scooping by hand.
Lasted over 3 years without major problems.
The Bad:
It was pretty smelly-as smelly as a normal litter box.
The trap door did not close all the way so it let odor out.
The cartridges filled up quickly (my cat was a relatively light user) even with unused litter.
It was loud-kind of embarrassing to explain to guest what that noise was in the next room.
The rake got gunked up.
All in all I was happy with it but I had never tried any other automated litter box before. After it died, I switched to a normal litter box but I have now purchased a "Scoop Free Automatic Litter Box". I think the Scoop Free is already proving to be very superior to the Littermaid. I've only had it a couple of days so I won't review it yet but I can already say that it is MUCH quieter and has no smell so far. Before using the Scoop Free I would have rated the Littermaid with 4 stars but now I'm only giving it 2 stars. I plan on purchasing the Forever tray or Permatray for my Scoop Free once I determine that it is as great as it seems.
 Poor Product - do not buy it!!! July 24, 2008
They call this a self cleaning litter box? Maybe its because you have to clean it yourself!! The forks constantly get caked up with wet litter, the motor screams like its moving cement, and the box needs constant cleaning. This leads to more time maintaining the box and arguments with my wife. Spend the money on a good dinner and scoop the poop manually.
 LitterMaid Litter Box gets 4 paws up!! July 18, 2008
I just received delivery yesterday of my Littermaid LM900 litter box. This is my second Littermaid, the previous one having been purchased over 10 years ago. It was still working fine, but my cat preferred to use the dog door and go outside, so the litter box was lost in the abyss of the "storage shed". Anyway, I have a new kitty, so I decided to purchase another Littermaid. I must admit, I almost didn't do it, after reading the online reviews. I finally decided to go with the "basic" model LM900. It arrived ready for set up and was comparable in construction to the one I had owned previously, probably even improved. My kitty took to it right away and even sits and waits to see the scooper in action. I highly recommend the white Kitty Cabana--it covers the box, gives kitty some privacy, and makes the entire structure look like a Shiek's tent. My older "doggie door" cat is now even eyeing the Littermaid. I think it works great, my kitty loves it, and it is much less noxious than any other box I've ever used. (I was using the "roll over on its side" and collect the waste in a drawer model). Great product for the price!
 Very good product July 14, 2008
I bought this litter box a few months ago and I am very impressed with it.
Changing the kitty box is no longer a huge chore. I have two cats and need to change the receptacle every 2 or 3 days. My only complaint is that it does leave smaller clumps in the box, but it's not that big of a deal. The instructions recommend using a premium clumping litter, but don't use one that clumps too hard. I had to have my first one replaced because the litter would clump too hard for the rake to get through it and it burned up the motor. I recommend using Tidy Cat clumping litter.
Great! July 14, 2008

I love this thing! I have 2 fat cats and a kitten and it's big enough for everybody. The little ramp is kind of a joke. The cats use it to get into the litter box but then they just jump over the sides to get out. i suggest getting a large mat to go around it. The last littermaid i had was the smaller one (LM500) and the little motor burned out on it pretty quickly (within a year) so i'm just hoping the motor on this one lasts longer... Also, this litter box doesn't stall out like the smaller one did if it hits something big (like a cat toy). it just pushes through! So far, i don't have any problems!
