What owners single out
In their words
“I'm really impressed with this litter box. I had low expectations because I haven't had an automatic litter box since around 2010 and it was awful. I set this up today and my cats are already using it. Starting with the unboxing, there was a helpful note stuck on the top that advised you to be careful with some cardboard because it was not part of the packaging, but actually a component.”

“This litter box is amazing in concept, but in actuality, it is incredibly poorly designed. Setting it up was relatively easy because the only "construction" you have to do is build the cardboard box that is the dirty litter container. Cardboard cannot be cleaned - if any cat mess gets on that box, it will need to be thrown away.”
