ScoopFree Crystal Smart

This was worth it. I've had it for almost 4 years now and it still works great. In combination with the crystals it reduces odors quickly and completely. The litter lasts a long time, usually about 40 uses before I have to change it. It's deep enough my cat doesn't drag/scratch litter out of it all the time, the smell is gone, it stays clean and it is quick and easy to change when it is time. It is not loud, but definitely not quiet and we sometimes hear it when it runs after use in the other room(not all the time though). Highly recommended

Edit- So I see the newest generation of this box and I am so upset I didn't see this anywhere for purchase when I bought the original. I feel like I bought a money pit with these trays and crystal litter and it doesn't even have the removable bin like the newest. This new one is everything I wanted but I didn't see it was available anywhere although the release date was July 17 and I bought mine July 29. Pretty bummed. I wish I had the opportunity to get the newest version when I made my purchase. Other than shedding hair, having to scoop a litter box is the only drawback to having a cat, in my opinion. I have a new kitten. I bought this litter box knowing I didn't want to scoop, obviously. I also have two older cats who will be coming back to live with me after a few years of travel nursing. I figured I needed to make the litter maintenance streamlined with an automated box. I was also hoping it would keep any smells down to zero. So far, this is my experience. First off, the litter trays are super expensive, nearly cost prohibitive. But if used properly, it is not so bad in comparison to the cost of clay litter for multiple cats, and you might as well get the reusable tray and buy the fresh step crystals. I have one kitten, and the only way I can avoid replacing a whole tray in less than a week is by removing the scooped poo from the stored compartment. I think this is how it should be used, and it just isn't clarified. Any other auto box is going to require you to remove the scooped poo, but the difference with this one is that it doesn't have a removable compartment you can dump. You have to remove the poo yourself. This is still better than scooping the old-fashioned way. Just grab gloves hold your nose, lift the storage compartment and hurry it into a bag. This will extend the life of the trays. That compartment fills and stinks in less than a week with a kitten. It has to have the clumps removed. Otherwise, you have to change the whole tray at least weekly, and this is just with a kitten. If you are going to replace the whole tray every time the compartment is full, then you might as well pay the 699 for one of those fancier contraptions that use the regular litter. By the time you pay for disposable litter trays on a weekly basis for the life of this box, you will have bought several of the high-priced fancy ones over and over. That compartment fills and stinks in less than a week with a kitten. It has to have the clumps removed. It does have some litter spill out of the compartment in the front end, and it sits. It is not a lot at all. Make sure you clean out from under there from time to time; it is a scant amount. I started putting a puppy pad under it so orders don't absorb into the floor. Not a big deal. The litter doesn't track at all. Have never used this crystal litter, but I love it. The kitten loves the box. At first, he freaked out by the fact it moved, but no problem with using it. When it's quiet and starts working 20 minutes after its last use, we forget we have it and think someone is in the house, and then we both remember it's just the box and go back to relaxing. It's pretty quiet, though. My boyfriend loves that it is a clean way to manage litter; he is not a fan of cats and worries it will smell, but he is warming up to the cat and to the whole idea with this box.

**UPDATE** I wish I had never bought this. The crystal litter is so expensive, and it just soaks up the urine and sits there, it doesn’t get raked to the back. I feel terrible for my poor cat. She keeps urinating outside of the box because it’s reeks so badly of ammonia and urine. Realistically all the litter needs to be changed out WEEKLY. But unless you’re made of money and time that’s not going to happen. Save yourself, your pet and your wallet - don’t buy this. I was super excited for this. I decided to downsize after years with the litter robot because I now only have one cat. I got the more expensive wifi option which I didn’t quite realize only tells you when the cat stepped on the tray and when/option to rake. The extra money really wasn’t worth it. I’ve only had it set up for 6 days and I’ve had to “scoop”/ reposition the litter 3 times and my cat urinated outside of the box once because she didn’t find it to be clean enough (this was the first time I went and scooped myself). She took to I fairly quickly, I put it where I had her old litter-box to signal this is where she’s suppose to go now. Added a little bit of her old litter (I saw this suggested). And put her old box next to the new one, covering it up more and more every day until I removed it as an option. She does not seem to like the crystal litter and I will tell you I don’t blame her, it gets everywhere and while I normally have slippers on I walked on a piece once and it is like GLASS! I also tried vacuuming it up and it’s leaves scratches all over my floors. I’m going to have to shop around for other litter options (for her and I). Overall I’m going to keep it because it is less work than scooping daily. But do not for a second believe you can go more than 3 DAYS without managing it, and I highly doubt you can go more than 2 weeks without changing out the tray. Because in 6 days my one, female, 9 y.o. Cat has nearly halfway filled the back compartment.

It's an expensive start up but it's worth it. It's incredibly easy setup and change. Our 16 yr old cat took to it within a day. We get about 2 weeks out of the crystals box, not the month advertised but, again, worth it (she tends to pee a lot in the same spot so that's a big factor in the 2 wks i think) We bought the 6 pack of boxes which worked out to about $15 a box. Looking at the difference with litter the smell is almost non existent (get close enough ans you may get a whiff), there is no dust, she tracks a couple little crystals but nothing like littee, and IT CLEANS ITSELF! No scooping is worth the cost. Plus, the amount of litter we were buying, scooping, changing, smelling etc ends up being more than the crystals. Our cat is asthmatic so even the low dust arm and hammer was still dusty and even buying in bulk at box stores I really do think it's not that much more for the crystals (after the startup of course). I read lots of reviews and think a lot depends on your cat, their habits, etc. But overall despite the very few shortcomings (2 wks vs a month, it has a decent size footprint) it is worth not scooping and smelling cat litter.

Se daño el rastrillo de la nada y es según la tarjeta. Terrible

J’étais très septique avec l’utilisation de la litière aux cristaux ???😂😜 Mais après 2 mois d’utilisation, j’adore ce produit qui offre moins d’entretien journalier…Je suis très technologique donc, j’ai le modèle connecté avec wifi.. qui offre la tenue des données jusqu’à 12 Mois pour le ratissage et une tenue de tout 💯👌Vraiment heureux de cet achat ! Dispendieux, non nécessaire mais une belle invention pour maintenir un hygiène de la litière presque parfaite! J’ai remplacé les bacs en carton jetables par un bac en stainless lavable 👍J'utilise ce produit depuis Février 2024 et je dois admettre que c'est un excellent produit avec la litière en crystaux. Je retire les excréments de mon chat tous les jours quand même pour éviter les odeurs et tenir la litière très propre. Aucune poussière et presque aucune odeur sauf quand il le fait en ma présence :)...

It’s a good product. I returned my plain scoopfree and upgraded to this connected one. It will not connect to my network no matter what I try. I am on a 2.4ghz network. My phone is connected to the same network. It just consistently fails and will not connect. I’m going to contact support and see what’s up and update my review. Until then 1 star due to the frustration this causes in getting set up. Updating my review. Customer service was great and quickly updated the app in the App Store to fix the issue.

This new design is a major downgrade. If your cat pees near the back it will leak out under the top shroud. The previous model without WiFi did NOT have this problem.

Likes: super easy to use, way less odour from cats (2), feel at ease leaving the cats for a night or 2 knowing the litter is cleaned often. So far the cats have had zero accidents where as before they had minor ones. Cleaning is Fairly quiet and doesn’t scare the cats Delivery for new refills took longer than expected but I was able to scoop out poop to throw away for longer use of box. Dislikes: the price for the refills…. Not sure if it’s really sustainable financially. Box of 3 for $65.. vs my $12.99 litter bag that would last a couple months. Not eco friendly with lots of waste from refills…. The reusable tray is $70… seriously?! I tried other trays but they don’t fit. The pebbles/crystals end up all over and I step on them- gross and annoying. Same as regular litter but larger pieces. Advertised as cleaner but I somewhat disagree. At first the cats did not use it dispute me trying everything- mixing their old litter in the new box and new crystals in old litter, litters side by side. Finally removed the old box and they were fine using the new one. Size- it’s large. I cannot find a litter enclosure large enough to fit it so it’s hidden. My last box fit into a bench designed for litter boxes. Overall, would recommend for people who seriously hate cleaning the litter box or go away often. It has been very helpful this summer.
