Cleaning up after the cat is one the most unpleasant chores known to a pet owner. Many products have been produced over the years to ease this burden but none garner the praise of cat owners like automatic litter boxes. Littermaid cat litter boxes are at the forefront of these, offering an affordable model that is both safe and efficient.
Litter Maid cat litter boxes come equipped with a heavy duty rake that when activated, moves through the used litter, cleaning it and depositing the clumps in an easy to change cat litter tray. This container will need to be changed once a week at minimum or when it is full if there are multiple cats using it. The rake is activated by a sensor which starts a timer and initiates the cleaning cycle.
Once the timer is activated, there is a built in ionic air cleaner that comes on to filter the smell out of the air. This air cleaner will run every 10 minutes while the unit is in sleep mode to continuously keep the air fresh. Littermaid cat litter boxes are designed with your cat’s safety in mind.
There is a safety mechanism built in to stop the rake should anything obstruct it. If the cat should leave and return before the 10 minute cleaning cycle has begun, the sensor will restart the timer to 10 minutes and this will avoid it starting up while still occupied. These innovations keep your pet safe and you happy.
It is generally recommended that clumping cat litter be used in these, but the cat litter crystals will leave virtually no odor while sitting in the tray until disposed. Many of the customer reviews state that using simple clay litter should be avoided, as once it is wet and then dried the clumps left behind are like small concrete blocks. While the rake will still clean these out, it may lower the efficiency of the unit.
