Amazon.com Product Description
This automatic, self-cleaning litter box system uses disposable no-mess litter cartridges pre-loaded with Fresh Step brand crystals. Simply replace the cartridge about once a month for each cat and the litter box takes care of the rest. Fresh Step brand crystal litter offers unbeatable odor control and absorbs wetness on contact. Just open the pre-packaged litter cartridge, slide the cartridge into the automatic litter box, and store the cartridge cover under the litter tray for later disposal. One litter cartridge filled with Fresh Step litter lasts as long as 30 pounds of the leading clay litter. Recommended litter-cartridge replacement varies by the number of cats using the litter box, however. For one cat, replace the cartridge every 20 to 30 days; for two cats replace it every 10 to 15 days.

After the cat uses the litter box, the Fresh Step brand crystal litter immediately starts to absorb liquid waste and dry out solid waste. Twenty minutes after the cat leaves the box, the unit will automatically and quietly start to rake and clean the litter. Solid waste is sealed in the covered waste trap, and urine is absorbed by the crystals. The timer resets if the cat re-enters the box during the countdown cycle, and the rake will stop if it encounters a large object in the box. For indoor use only, the unit features an "on/off" power button and operates on a standard wall outlet. The automatic litter box measures 26 by 19 by 7 inches, and each cartridge measures 22 by 14-1/2 by 2-1/2 inches (refills sold separately).

Product Description
ScoopFreeT is the world's first automatic, self-cleaning litter box you can leave alone for up to 30 days! ScoopFree features a unique 30-Day Throwaway TrayT which you replace as little as once a month without any scooping, refilling or cleaning. 20 minutes after your cat leaves the litter box, ScoopFree will automatically rake the waste into the tray's covered trap so you can enjoy hands-off convenience for weeks at a time.

Simple, effective, and far more quiet than the Petmate Purrforma, June 2, 2006

By	Joe Vanderbilt (Irving, TX United States) - See all my reviews

I bought this as a replacement of my first automated litterbox, the Petmate Purrformat Plus XL. That one was awful, this one is great.

The rake on this litterbox actually switches the direction it points as it moves to the front and back to the rear of the box. The net effect is that, unlike the Petmate, you don't get a wall of litter at the rear of the box. The litter is evenly distributed along the bottom every time and the rake is able to return to its starting point every time unlike the Petmate.

As it sweeps forward, the purple part rises up and the rake pushes anything it has caught underneath it. Underneath the purple part is more Fresh Step litter, so when it closes down it traps the odor so the Fresh Step can absorb it. Simple!

Furthermore, this one is much more quiet than the Petmate. The Petmate sounded like a remote controlled tank but this one just has a gentle hum to it, and it completes the task of sweeping in about 1/2 to 1/3 the time the Petmate takes, too.

My 2 1/2 month old kitten took to it like a duck to water. She kind of thinks it's a toy right now but she also knows what it's there for.

Finally, a self-cleaning litter box that works, July 22, 2006

By	Dr. Kenneth W. Davis (Indianapolis, IN United States) - See all my reviews

We had mechanical problems with both self-cleaning boxes we had tried. They apparently just couldn't handle three cats.

So far, the SccopFree box is working perfectly, with very little odor, for the same three cats.

It's well and simply engineered, and although it has a higher ongoing cost than others, it's worth that higher cost for us.

not 100% perfect, but nearly so!, November 5, 2006

By	K. Hazenfield (dayton oh) - See all my reviews

Nov '06--My cat is a 13 pounder, poops about 5 times a day--and boy does it stink! I feel that cleaning a cat box several times a day is a real pain, but then so is cleaning it up off the basement rug every day if I dont clean the box soon enough for "his highness"! This thing is GREAT! Ok, I've only had it for 5 days now, and it specifically says on the box that for larger cats or multiple cats, the cartrige will NOT last 30 days--the container is full (like I said, he poops A LOT) BUT!! I really dont mind taking the scoop and scooping out the container once a week--I have to do this because replacement cartriges are $15 or so (that's the really bad part) I still have to see if it will take all his urine for 30 days, but in the mean time: The smell is gone, he doesnt track litter everywhere (I used clumping before and he left a real mess--along with the smell) just a few of the crystals get on the floor, I dont have to clean the box daily (as well as the basement carpet), and it works. One thing to note, I did not realize how BIG the thing is, and I also didnt think about plugging it in--so you may have to revise where you put it. Also, it's not perfect--some of the poop got behind the rake, and got stuck, but whoopie, no big deal to take a piece of toilet paper, and pull it off. I may look into reusing cartriges (waxed cardboard boxes with scoop free crystals dumped into it) and adding crystals from a bottle, but that may not be possible, because waxed cardboard can only take so much wetness--but that may be an option. I think a bottle of the stuff is around $15 too, but you may get 2 or 3 uses out of it, rather than just the one.

**update**1 1/2 months--I still love it. It lasts about 14 days, with a once per week clean out of the poop trap. The crystals never smells like urine, but there is a smell after that amount of time (big cat). cant use a litter liner as the rake can get stuck--or kitty's nails, so I'm still working on a way to refill more cheaply--but no more "accidents" on the carpet.
