Too good to be true?

I already found out it doesn't scoop perectly. Darnnit!

Harry "christened" the box (I figured he'd be the one to do so) and it didn't scoop it well at all. Left a huge clump behind. So I turned it off and on and again.... watched it rake up to left-behind clump. Then I went in and scooped out the little nuggets left over still. Ok, this is how I see it working for me: making a almost pristine box,. Enough so that 3 or 4 clumps won't fill the box. Only little left behind pieces until I can get there and clear it out.

Ummmm... I'm cheap. I don't see myself tossing away those waste receptacles. I do see myself using a clean bag as a glove and picking up the clumps in order to save the waste disposal unit! LOL Then of course, I'll use the same bag for all the other litteboxes. I can't go wasting a plastic grocery store bag now! (Gosh, I am cheap -- I hoard grocery bags!)

But hey, at $28 I can't complain! I do think it'll make a difference for the pickier cats in the hosue (Allen). I also forsee a problem with him and his potty habits. He refuses to cover. I can see one of his famous king-sized poos making a HUGE mess going into the waste receptacle because its not covered, EEEEEWWWWWWWWWWW.

For once, I WANT A kitty to use the litterbox. I want to play with my new toy!

I would be afraid they (cat) would get scooped up in the sweeping motion of the unit if they took too long to do their business and dig a hole to china. God knows how electronic things go haywire when circut breaks or power goes off. poor things would be scared to death if it quit in mid sweep.
Give me my old fashion scoop hooded pan

LOL Craftlady! I think it takes like 5 or 10 minutes before it will clean itself, but I'm lmao!!!

We never used bags but that is a good idea. I'd say go for it!

oh, I forgot to mention another funny thing, Kim . . .

Our cats would always "go" in the back left corner, so the turds and biscuits would always pile up on the left side of the receptacle. So if we didn't watch, the lid on the thing would prop itself open becuase it would get so full on that side and stink up the house!

Remember that you're dealing with cats! They're ornery!

edit: Okay, just ONE more . . . always FUN when a turd gets CAKED into the rake and you have to bend over the thing and scrape it off . . . Y-U-C-K!!!

Sorry . . . maybe I should let you learn all this for yourself but YOU ASKED! You know I love ya!!!

I Have Never Tried One , And I Think That The Old Fashioned Box Will Have To Do For Me For A While Too.
