Requires Extra Effort Jan 09, 2010
While the litter maid is large and looks capable of handling the "mess". We still have to clear clumps that stick to the bottom, otherwise the unit just keeps trying to run over and over to do what it can't.
 Helpful tips Aug 02, 2009
The system works...after 3 years with the same box I did these things to make it close to maintenance free.
First off, buy the tent enclosure instead of the cabana.($40) It conceals and keeps the littermaid and it's loose litter all inside. BUT the tent setup will need you to cut off a half inch off six of the longer plastic rods used for uprights. NOW the tent halves will zip together with ease. I used a tubing cutter to do this. Next, place a half inch piece of plywood cut to fit inside the bottom of the tent frame. This raises the litterbox to allow proper fit of the ramp that protrudes out the tent door.
Cleaning is a snap...a craftsman shop vac that I use in the garage works great to vacuum out the old litter and the plastic receptacle. Lift the front of the litterbox and vacuum out any spillage inside the tent. Empty the shop vac contents into your garage garbage can. Use a hot soapy rag to do a quick wipedown. Refill with a cheap NON clumping litter (use a beach sand pail filled to the top for the exact amount of litter each time.)
I have one kitty and I clean it out once a week using this method. Receptacles last a long time doing this too.
did not work very well Nov 12, 2008
the product did not work that well, it tried but didnt do its duty, i ended up scooping after it didnt work every time, i gave it a few days but didnt work as i expected
Eh Oct 23, 2008
It is nice not to have to scoop all the time but this thing ends up cutting the things into little pieces that it can't push into the bin and so you still have to scoop all the time. Also the litter from the box gets everywhere. Totally NOT worth the money.
Broke twice but Replaced Sep 19, 2008
The older Mega box I had worked more consistently when we were out of town.
The design of the Mega Elite seems very good, in reality it's still lacking.
CONS:
The price!
This box is very noisy. You can hear it anywhere in the house.
My old unit I could put a grocery bag over the receptical container so I didn't have to constantly buy more recepticals, however, the design of this one is so tight, this strategy doesn't work well.
This unit take up a lot of space.
The shovel it comes with is open on the bottom of the handle, making it uncomfortable.
Proglems:
The roller from the rake broke about 3 months after I installed it. I called the help line and they sent a replacement rake which has the rollers on it.
The motor unit got out of alignment and broke the rollers again. When I called the help line, they made me jump thru some hoops but in the end it cost me an additional $10 shipping but they sent me a whole new unit, including the cabana which my unit didn't come with.
PROS:
The ionic air cleaner seems to work pretty well out of the box. After 30 seconds I couldn't smell anything.
The rake with it's thin metal tines doesn't get clogged.
The shovel it comes with fits the rake perfectly.
Summary: It's better than not having a mechanical unit, however, it has many drawbacks.
