There are two things that every cat owner hates – fur on the furniture and scooping the poop. Vacuum cleaners can help with fur, but what about the poop? Until automatic litter boxes were invented, there was no other way to scoop but manually. That’s a nightmare for every cat owner.
Fortunately, those days are over. Nowadays, there are different models of electric cat boxes on the market, so cat lovers can pick the one suitable for their pet. If you choose the SmartScoop Automatic Self-Cleaning Litter Box, you will have a reliable and long lasting product with many useful features. Your cat will just love this auto litter box because it is quiet during the cleaning cycle, so it won’t scare your feline beauty. You will like it also because there will be no more bad smells in your house.
Product description
OurPets SmartScoop Automatic Self-Cleaning Litter Box is a powerful and long lasting solution for your scooping problems. It is a modern electronic litter box with sensors that will activate the cleaning cycle 15 minutes after the kitty leaves the box. It is more than enough time for clumps to harden. The metal rake will go through the litter and separate clumped waste from the rest of the clean litter. Then the waste will be locked into the special compartment that has a waste bag in it.
These bags are biodegradable, so they won’t harm the environment. When the compartment is full, just replace the bag and everything is clean. You will not have to touch the poop during the replacement process. Isn’t that great! Plus, your house will be odor free, thanks to the special carbon filter which is placed on the lid of the waste compartment.
If you wish to clean the entire machine, it will be easy for you to do it because the SmartScoop Automatic Self-Cleaning Litter Box can be disassembled and assembled easily and quickly. You will be able to wash the tray separately and then put everything together again in no time. Also, since the motor has metal parts in it, it is stronger and more durable than some other similar automatic litter boxes.
The most important thing about every cat-related product is how to get the cat to use it. Since the cats are very picky about their favorite place to poop, you should place the SmartScoop Automatic Self-Cleaning Litter Box on the spot where her former “toilet” used to be.
If there is no socket near that spot, you can use an extension cord to solve this issue. Also, a great advantage of this electric litter box is that it is not noisy. Cats can be turned off and scared by the unpleasant sounds that some other products make.
The size of the SmartScoop is large enough to be used by multiple cats. You will only have to change bags more frequently. There is a special fullness indicator button to let you know when it is time to empty the waste compartment.
And to make your kitty’s “toilet” even more hygienic, litter catching mat comes with this product. It should be placed near the entrance ramp, so the cat will walk on it while exiting and clean her paws.
The SmartScoop works with any litter that forms hard clumps. Don’t use the crystal litter because it won’t clump, so the rake won’t be able to separate the waste. In the case of power outage, you will have to press the power button to make the box ON again. It won’t be activated automatically.
