If you despise cleaning your cat’s litter box you may be interested in a LitterMaid product. There is a wide variety of models to choose from not to mention plenty of opinions both good and bad about how they operate. Keep reading for a review of some LitterMaid products including the good, the bad and the ugly.

Oftentimes, when talking about cat litter boxes, it is not a good idea to think of it in isolated terms.

As far as models go the LitterMaid LME500 and it’s metallic red color is probably our most popular model solely for the modern looking design and attractive color. Of course your cat won’t care what it’s litter box looks like but the appearance of the litter box probably does matter to you to some extent. The LME500 is best suited if you have one cat of average or smaller size. The Elite model would be a better choice if you have a larger cat.

Yet both models use the same technology that automatically rakes away waste into receptacles minutes after your cat exits the box.

It often takes time for cats to become comfortable with the technology in these boxes which rakes wastes into a receptacle soon after the cat has left the box. Cats don’t like change, but these are not hard for them to learn to use. One way to get your cat to use the new box is to leave the dirty old box close by but don’t clean it. Your cat won’t like the dirty litter and will want to try this new clean system. The cleaning mechanism is often the cats biggest worry since they’ll hear it go off from time to time but it’s not usually a problem.

We do hope what you will have learned already concerning cat care tips, as well as also the particular information regarding caring for cats, is useful to you. Please continue reading more below for additional ideas about this subject.

The biggest complaint among LitterMaid box users is that the cleaning rake will sometimes jam. It’s not a perfect solution, either, as the rake doesn’t always get all of the waste into the container. The rake needs to cleaned regularly since the clumping litter can clog it.

These issues can outweigh the convenience of having a self cleaning litter box for some people. Customer reviews of these products show a difference in opinion about how well they work. Since individual models have a tendency to malfunction, you should call Litter Maid’s customer service if yours starts to have problems.

The Litter Maid Self Cleaning litter box is a great alternative to the standard litter box. These boxes aren’t perfect for everyone, some have experienced failing rakes among other things. The choice is really yours but you must still consider the facts before deciding on which solution is best for you since there really isn’t an ideal solution.
