Cat owners, let’s talk litter boxes. I have two cats, and while I love them both to pieces, scooping their litter was always the absolute bane of my existence. Honestly, it’s just the worst. Scooping up the waste hurt my back, made my eyes teary and had me holding my breath just to get through it. The worst part? I live in a small apartment and have to keep the litter box in my bedroom!
I had considered picking up a self-cleaning litter box in the past, but the prices always drove me away. Eventually though, I gave in, deciding the constant trips to the dumpster across the street had to stop, especially with winter approaching. I set up the PetSafe ScoopFree Original Automatic Cat Litter Box, and as another of its 200+ reviewers also reported, it was the “best decision ever!”

Shoppers are also describing this self-cleaning litter box as a “blessing,” saying that it makes litter duty “a breeze” — which is basically proclaiming that the impossible isn’t so impossible after all. The setup is easy, plus the disposable trays make cleanup so simple — and rare. If you have one cat, one tray can last up to 30 days! Since I have two, I change it about every two weeks, which is just heavenly. Yes, I’m using the word “heavenly” in a sentence about cleaning up cat litter.
This automatic litter box uses a pretty crystal litter, claiming that it’s five times more effective at reducing odor than clay or clumping versions. It also may use five to 10 times less litter! I was hesitant about switching to solely crystal litter, but realized in the end that it would actually save me money. Plus, having a stink-free bedroom is incomparable. It has other benefits too! Is the dust from other litters making your allergies go berserk? Go crystal!

So, how does this litter box work? First, it detects when our cat uses it. The sensor then begins a silent 20-minute timer, the light blinking, before it’s clean-up time. The automatic rake system then sweeps the waste into the covered compartment (available in two colors!), keeping it out of sight and out of mind for weeks on end. Done!
If your cat needs a little help transitioning, start by keeping this litter box next to your old one for a little while. You can also try sprinkling a little bit of your cat’s old litter into the crystal litter. My cats took to it very quickly — and they have never looked back!
Saving $45 on this ScoopFree litter box is an amazing deal. Its benefits are basically priceless when you consider all of the ways it could change your and your cats’ lives, and I can’t recommend making the switch highly enough. Happy no-scooping!
