CATLINK Self Cleaning Cat Litter Box, Automatic Cat Litter Box, Double Odor Removal, Cat Litter Box for Cats from 3.5 pounds to 22 pounds (Young Version)

This is my second automatic litter box and I LOVE it! The first box was a rake-style automatic cleaner from Els Pet and it had several design flaws (don't recommend it!). I've had this Catlink box for almost 3 months and it is truly well-designed. It allows for very easy bag removal, has minimal clean-up needs (unlike the Els Pet which was a nightmare!!) and is quite uncomplicated. There is NO odor -- I use a high-quality clumping clay litter and add a little Coir Wonder Cat Litter Deodorizer (you can get it here on Amazon) to it and I NEVER smell odors usually associated with a litter box. I change the waste bag about every 7-10 days, but it could go longer since it's pretty big. I also bought the entry pedestal which makes it easier for my cat to get in/out and it catches any stray litter stuck to his paws. The only problem I've had is with my very curious cat wanting to go inside while it's turning in a cleaning cycle. Once I shoo him away, it resumes the cycle. It's large, so you'll need ample space for it. LOVE this machine and HIGHLY recommend it.

So there's a lot to love about this litter box:1) It's super quiet - I don't even hear it until the giant PLOP of solid litter when it's emptying.2) Storage capacity is awesome - I have two cats and could probably leave it for over a week without changing.3) Ease of setup is awesome - the instructions are clear and there's only 2-3 steps, I don't even remember because it was that uneventful.4) Litter box quality is awesome - The lining is made of rubber so it's inherently less sticky. The tray to catch the waste also has a raised center so it doesn't pile up in the middle. They thought of everything with this!We've only had it for a month and we're obsessed. I'll update this review if that changes at all.

Overall purpose:for litter robot the ultimate goal is free my hand. This robot fullly fulfill this purpose, I can totally don't pay any attention to the cat litter for a whole week, great work for robot.Design:It pre-set the auto cleaning mode whch is that After 3 mins cat use it, it atuo run it to roll the box to pour down the excrement. It's very intuitive even without app feature. But it's very simple to use, you know, most time simply is the best. In addition, When it is running, cat might be curious and step on it, then the error light turn red and it stop rolling immediately by having a very sensitive safty sensor. However, it's has its own programmed way to work, not very clever in every way, read the user manual before set it up and use it.Litter Cleanning ability:As long as your cat is not in diarrhea and using the good clump litter. After two weeks usage, I don't see any sticky "thing" stick on the robot surface in auto mode. Don't add the litter over the max line, othereise you will waste clean litter for sure. Don't ask me how i know it…lol.Odor control:Before I just used a big litter box with lid on it, barely i can smell ordor. For this robot, it has open entry, i can smell odor when cat use it, but what surprise me is that after running, used litter rolling in its litter box, because of the filter and sealed design, i barely smell odor neither, even better than before.This robot works very good even though not perfect. Hope the good job could last. Totally worth the purchase.

Having more than 1 cat gets so stinky so quickly and this really eliminates the odor. Changing the tray every few days is so much easier than scooping. I wish I would have gotten this years ago! I reduced one star because the original base did malfunction fairly quickly, but Catlink customer service did ship me a replacement which has been working well. This really is a must have for cat owners

Easy to set-up and use. Not locked into any particular scoopable litter (I have tried two different brands and both worked well). So much nicer than scooping a litter box every day!
