An Analysis of The LitterMaid Automatic Litter Box

If you're considering the purchase of a self-cleaning litter box, whether made by LitterMaid or another brand, you might be wondering if it's really a good value. One drawback to a self cleaning unit is the initial cost and maintenance costs associated with them. Read on for a great review of the LitterMaid self cleaning litter boxes.

The CrystalMaid is the first unit we'll discuss. With this model you simply insert a crystal liter tray under the frame. This is probably the closest thing to a maintenance free system as you'll be able to find. This tray will last up to a month before it needs replacing. The crystal litter system is designed to absorb liquid waste immediately, which prevents odors and germs from spreading. The box itself will accommodate virtually any size cat or a multiple cat household. The CrystalMaid retails for about $130 and is efficient for those who want a litter box without the work. LitterMaid recommends using their special corn based litter in their boxes although there are other litters that will work too. Some of the features of this special litter include easy clumping, odor prevention and minimal tracking. Many problems that some customers report with LitterMaid products can be attributed to not using the right kind of litter. Litter Maid's specialized litter is a bit more expensive than other litters but will ensure proper function of your system. Because this litter is corn based it is safer for your cat to use.

LitterMaid litter boxes come with a warranty that protects you against defects, but you have to remember to register your product. Some consumers report that the available 800 number for customer service is busy all the time and when leaving a message the call is never returned. We sincerely hope this is not the experience every customer has but if you ever need to call customer service be sure you have patience for waiting long periods of time.

Litter Maid's self cleaning litter boxes can make your life easier and make your home more sanitary. Some users, however, experience problems with getting them to work consistently. Be sure to read all the instructions and the right type of clumping lever if you do buy a LitterMaid product. If, like many cat owners, you're tired of cleaning out the litter box, you may want to consider a LitterMaid product.
