Litter Maid Advanced Deluxe Litter Maid Litter Box

Pros: Eliminates smell, mess and a lot of extra work.
Cons: That they don't include the privacy tent and ramp. You make you buy them separately.

Okay, I'll admit it (listen up my dear husband, you will only hear me say this once) getting that third cat was a BAD decision. That was two too many as far as you were concerned and I think I am beginning to agree with you. Who would have...

Pros: the whole "idea" is good, you can save money on litter
Cons: noisy, messy, you have to clean up after the maid....

UPDATED: July 5, 2002!!

The maid and I have this love/hate relationship (more on the hate side) that I would like to share with you all and maybe help you out in deciding whether or not you should plan on hiring a maid for your cat....

Pros: electric, disposable containers, clean litter box
Cons: container sticks sometimes when full not useful for more then one cat

The maid quit just when I needed her most. Too much litter. That said I will tell you about my three kittens and the Litter Maid.

When my cats were little I went to one of the pet stores to shop for toys. I saw the Litter Maid was on sale...

Pros: Spending so much on kitty should really make him feel loved!!
Cons: Talk about hassle! More work for you, less space for kitty.

I am a cat lover extraordinaire, so when my younger brother asked what I REALLY wanted for Christmas I wasted no time bypassing new clothes or perfume . . . I wanted "that electronic cat box thingy". Much to his disgust, John headed for the local...

Pros: If it worked it would be a fantastic idea.
Cons: Does not clean itself 10 minutes after use.

We always have a friend to take care of our two cats when we go on vacation. However, our friend will be away at the same time as ourselves. We only plan on 3 days, so out I went and purchased a Litter Maid Advanced Deluxe litter Maid Litter...

Pros: Works OK for solid waste, good for travelers on 2-3 day trips only.
Cons: messy, noisy, bulky, lousy for scooping wet clumps.

Have had Litter Maid for 2 years now. Got it because I was frequently traveling for work. Can say it helped for the short trips (3-4 days max) but not so great for longer trips. If you don't manually help the Litter Maid do its job (explained below),...

Pros: excellent once improved/improvised, saved lotsa effort, lifesaver for trips
Cons: needed improvising/improving, had to replace infa-red-emitter, occasional auto-cycling, noise

I've had a LM since august of 2000 and I've never bought ANY waste-receptacles ... I just built a 15.75" box lifting the LM high enough so it dumps through a 4x8-slot (cut in the bottom of one of the original waste-receptacles) down into a bucket (that ...

Pros: Eliminates smell, I don't have to touch any "nasties"
Cons: none so far

I will start off by telling everyone that I read pretty much every review on this site for the littermaid product. I took in all of the good and bad and decided to still give this a try. I recently got 2 little kittens and the idea of cleaning the litter...

Pros: None
Cons: Expensive, loud, poor quality

When I first moved in with my husband and his two cats, we had real issues with chore of scooping the litter box. Or, to be more accurate, I had issues with the fact that he didn't scoop enough, and I didn't want to assume full responsibility for...

Pros: Reduces smell, do not have to scoop litter
Cons: Noisy and expensive

Before I even bought my new kitten, I had a good idea of what I DIDN'T want to do. I didn't want to have to clean a litter box all the time. I never had my own cat, but observed people with cats, namely my sister and my mother in law. I was always...

Pros: Picks up the stuff and packages it for you
Cons: Makes more of a mess than a standard litter box; noisy

OK, I have to admit up front that I bought this as a Christmas present for my wife. I was thinking about this because just yesterday, I wrote a review on the KitchenAid Ultra Power KSM90 Stand Mixer, where I went into great detail about how not...

Pros: Faster, somewhat easier & cleaner
Cons: High price, not always reliable

I had never had a pet until last Summer, and as a somewhat busy (and forgetful) person, I worried that I wouldn't always remember to change my cat's litter box. I had heard of Littermaid's automatic litter box, but I was somewhat skeptical about how...

Pros: I don't have to fish around in the litter box!
Cons: Clumsy disposal system, noisy, uses a lot of litter, makes its own mess

The concept was phenomenal - the application needs a lot of work, though.

This system is designed with a deep pan, with a "comb-like" apparatus on a bar above the pan. It works on a pressure system whereby it can sense a cat in it and, 15...

Pros: No more raking poo!
Cons: Expensive. Mediocre durability and craftsmanship.

I don't know where I'd be today if I didn't have the Advanced Deluxe Litter Maid Litter Box....probably scooping poo. Being a pet sitter, I do enough poop-scooping on a daily basis. So, that last thing I want to do when I come home is scoop more poo. M ...

Pros: No more scooping poop! Litter is always clean.
Cons: Daily dumping of the canister. Noisy. Gets stuck sometimes.

Dirty Deeds

Anyone who loves cats knows the dirty job I'm about to describe. Everyday, grab nasty plastic slotted scooper, dig around in nasty clumpable litter, find nasty cat "brownies", scoop into plastic bag, take smelly plastic bag...
