  • I've been using the Scoop Free litter box system for many years now and it's a very reliable system that saves me time. It's easy to clean up after my kitties!
    I will receive a small commission from Amazon if you purchase from my link:

    I upgraded and got a new one recently because the old one was a bit beat up. It still worked absolutely fine. I've paid for two of these now. It's not the cheapest system, but it's very clean and simple

    I have three of these. I have six cats. My cats make very regular use of them. I scoop out the feces and pour the litter into a five gallon bucket. The urine has become a powder in the bottom of the tray. I scoop that out and then reuse the litter in the bucket. I’ve found that Fresh Step crystals which are less expensive than Pet Safe and work well in the box so you’re not limited to pet safe litter. I love mine which is why I have three of them. You buy four or five for what one Litter Robot will cost.

      Hi Jim, thanks for sharing that tip. I have never seen the urine become powder, so I wonder if I am not using enough litter. About how much crystal litter do you use in each box? I use crystal litter alone, but I had tried mixing the crystal with non clumping clay, and that was not successful either at controlling the urine smell.

      @@mariewhitman8758 Hi. If you use the Pet Safe litter you may pour the whole bag into the empty litter tray, spread it out evenly and press the button to operate the rake. Anyway after the compartment is pretty much full of feces use a litter scoop and put into like a plastic grocery bag or something. Then gently pour the remaining crystals into a bucket. You may then see a powdery residue stuck to the tray. Discard that also. You can then reuse the crystals that you poured into the bucket. I usually fill to the small lip just below the motion detector. Also a bag of Fresh Step crystals might give you about two fills. I really like mine and the urine smell is very minimal. And also they don’t make the mess the clay boxes do.

      @@Jazz-ji9zuthis is the non clumping litter unless you meant the traditional litter, the clumping one? If so, I have my doubts since those lumps get a big bigger and heavier. Hence, the mechanical system may not be able to scoop it to the tray pocket, and the pocket may not be able to hold the lump due to the size. Disclaimer: I haven’t tried it.

    Thank you for the thorough explanation of this product. I just bought an additional unit, since we have 4 cats, and this system has saved our sanity. One of our cats had stopped using the basic litterbox, so we had to line the floor with pee pads, and it was a nightmare. Once we set up the Petsafe Scoopfree, I was shocked to see that he used it and has done so ever since without any issues. The system is not perfect, however, and we are still experimenting to improve its shortcomings. I found a crystal litter that is much more economical, since we re-use the disposable trays a few times. For us, this system was worth very penny.

    Thanks for making the review, I've had one for 6 years and have been satisfied overall. I did NOT do my homework to see that you can just purchase the litter separately and have been getting the box 3 packs all this time. So much money ugh, but THANKS I will be seeking out just the litter on next purchase.
    Thanks to others who have suggested alternative crystals to try, will definitely be looking into those.
    Wanted to add that on my model if I sit the cardboard tray into the tray top (as you did), the unit doesn't seem to sit right and sometimes seemed to have raking issues, so now I just sit the tray on the floor.
    I also saw someone mention using clay litter and was curious if anyone has any experience they could share.

    I've been through many different automatic litter boxes over my many years of owning cats and I've recently switched to this one about a year ago, and this is one of the first reviews of this system that I've seen on TH-cam so I was very interested to hear your opinion. I agree 100% about re-using the trays -- I considered buying the "permanent" tray that they sell but 1) I didn't want to deal with having to periodically clean it and 2) amazon reviews of them said that the poop tray is smaller and overall it doesn't work as well. So I regularly just dump out the tray into a bag and then when I finally change out the whole tray (about every 3 months or so), I typically just drop the whole thing in its own kitchen trash bag and try and tie it up tight. But I like your idea of taping it closed better -- when I drop it in the bag the litter spills out in the bag and taping it just seems like a more tidy solution.
    I have 4 cats, two of them are older and often have loose stools so I do end up having to change litter pretty frequently, but the crystals do a good job of reducing the odor. Interestingly, I've tried both the purple and the blue but I find the blue works better -- to each his own, I guess. I'll sometimes use Fresh Step crystals based on price/availability and they seem to work just as well.
    The biggest drawback for me is that the litter is more expensive and it does seem a bit wasteful but by reusing the trays, it's kept the cost manageable for me.

    I purchased this system over 6 months ago and I have purchased the 6 count litter trays and also the 3 count litter trays. With one cat, I learned to watch the usage count the system shows before removing and cleaning out the used box tray.
    I used to change it every 3 - 4 weeks which made it go over 50 uses. I noticed when it hit 50 uses my cat would stop using the box and go outside in my back yard. I just tried 40 count uses and seems to be the right number for her. I have one cat and the crystals actually work in keeping the odor to almost nothing.
    This week, I notcied the box start soaking up a lot of urine so I put a pad in between the bottom of the box into the lid box tray to keep the urine from soaking through the main box to the lid under it.
    That worked but I didn't like the mess, so I decided to get the additional complete PLASTIC tray and magnet which I found . Didn't know they had this, but after trying to figure out a better system than the tray, pad, lid combo....I started looking for a solution and Amazon came through again!!!! Love it! This actually works well and love the counter for use and the cleaner setting for how long to wait after cat uses it before cleaning starts. Great little system. Worth it.

      When I empty the tray, I grab a garbage bag, slide the tray into it, use the scooper to scrape it clean, wash it off outside with a hose. Very easy.
      I do have the box trays but trying not to use them too often because I noticed that there was some leakage 2 different months from my one cat urinating a lot and I had to start to use the potty napkins under the boxes before I got the plastic tray. Seriously love it. Simple to clean and reuse.
      No more hassle with the cardboard boxes leaking and having to improvise a potty pad insde the lid when under the tray etc etc..

    Look for scentless crystals. Cats want to smell themselves, not lavendar or something.
    I bought the whole setup, but if I were to do it again I'd just by the trays, or use crystals in regular litter boxes. There is no odor.
    When the crystals start showing a lot of yellow, I dump them in my gravel driveway, and continue to use the box.
    The crystals will melt / decompose.

    If this had double end cap ends where it move one direction each time to push the poop to both ends this would fix a lot of the problems you find with poop that breaks up. Having the ability to move to just one side in one pass allow there to be more time for stuff to firm up. Set the time to ever 30 mins to hour. All you would have to do is lift off the litter top which would expose a quite deep pan then scoop or dump the the entire contents. If someone made a litter box like this then I would be game for 150 bucks.

    This thing is hit-and-miss. It doesn't work on wet poo which sticks to everything including the rails. It doesn't absorb urine. The cat eventually decides to pee outside the box. It's expensive to keep operating. You will find feces on the rakes, and on the plastic parts and that's one more clean up job you've got to do.
    Use a regular box, with unscented, clumping litter. Put baking soda in the bottom of the box to reduce the smell. Buy one of the scoops for poop removal. 😉

      My cat was scared of it for a while too. Turn it off, so it doesn't do anything for a month and let her get used to it. Then, when she's comfortable, using it, turn it back on, but maybe close the door so she can't see what's happening. Some cats are just generally kind of nervous. My last cat was very scared of everything, but after a few months she got used to it. When it started cleaning she used to swat it, but then she gave up after a while. Good luck!

    I saw this review before I bought my litter box. I went with a 155.99 Nature Miracle cat litter box, the new version. While it is not the best a whole container of clumping litter will last 2 or more months for my single elderly cat. I opted to get that one because it was cheaper and did not have the crystal. The review pretty much are the exact same thing for every single cat litter box that is not some 1000 dollar fancy one. The other reason was the boxes and the price of the plastic box and the cost of the litter kept me from buying it. Every litter box says that it leaves behind poop, breaks up poop and everything else. Just go and read all the one star reviews and you cna sort the human error from the faults. After a while I pulled the side panels off and cut out the led lights as there is no damn on and off switch for them. Sorry it was just the stupidest thing ever. Then today it quit working. Emailed them and they fully refunded me per the warranty. I am pretty well versed in electrical, manufacturing and design that I opened it up and began testing every thing. Turns out that the ribbon cable broke down and is no longer good. I then fashioned a new one with some wire, glued, taped and tested it and its now all good. I am sure that with in a year or so my cable will fail as well. I will attempt to find something to make it work. If I had and knew how to use a 3d printer I would make a new rake that is just a bit longer so that it almost touches the bottom pan.
