Important Information Regarding the LitterMaid Self Cleaning Litter boxes

By Athena Hunter


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. There is a higher price associated with a self cleaning unit and some maintenance for the unit to function properly but you'll never have to clean another litter box. This article intends to review the Litter Maid and show you how they measure up

LitterMaid LME9000 Elite is a larger model self-cleaning litter box that this company makes for larger cats or households with multiple cats. It is important to get a litter box that is big enough for your cat to fit into. A smaller cat box can have issues, as most cats like to use it at the same time. The LitterMaid Elite is 28" by 20 by 8 1/2", so it gives your cats plenty of room, and the sensor will cause the unit to start cleaning a few minutes after a cat leaves the box. This self-cleaning heavy duty automatic litter box model has a ionic air cleaner, four carbon filters as well as four waster receptacles.

Regardless of the model of LitterMaid box you choose, you should also consider getting a cover for it. The company offers you a couple of options for covering their litter boxes. The LitterMaid Cat Privacy Tent fits all of their boxes and helps keep the litter inside the box while providing your cat some privacy.

If your cat is used to an ordinary litter box, it may take a little time for it to get used to the LitterMaid. There's nothing about LitterMaid that's difficult for a cat to use, but the simple fact is cats aren't too crazy about change of any kind. Try luring your cat to the new box by leaving the old one nearby and dirty. The cat is smart he will quickly decide the clean litter is the way to go. At first, the cleaning mechanism might disturb your cat, but since it's set up to not go off until a few minutes after the cat leaves the box, this isn't usually a problem.

Some that own the LitterMaid Self-Cleaning Litter Boxes have complained about the unit making noises when cleaning. Some people may think the sound is disturbing at times, but some are more sensitive to the noises than others. To help with the noise problem, some of the LitterMaid models come with a timer, so when the cat uses the box in the middle of the night it won't wake you. If you're wanting any kind of self-cleaning litter box, you probably won't find one that is silent.

As we've noted in this article, LitterMaid self-cleaning litter boxes can be a convenient way to avoid the daily hassles of scooping and cleaning that an old fashioned litter box represents. Like many high tech solutions, however, these models also have some glitches that users find annoying. Now that we have given you the above information, the choice is yours.
