Omega Paw NRA15 Self Cleaning Litter Box Regular Size,Grey

treasure hunting in the cat box is so tedious, smelly and difficult, we once put our son on box cleaning as punishment for neglecting his schoolwork. My husband found this litter box in the US, in a large size, and we have happily been using it for over 4 years. We have 2, one in use and the other in cleaning or stand-by. I didn't put one of them in our airfreight for our year in London. I had been led to believe our flat had 3 baths and was planning on using box in 3rd bath. So, arrived, couldn't find that 3rd bath. Had to put litter tray, the open kind, in main living area.I don't want to see or smell what the cats leave in the box and I was getting both, and way too close to where I was eating. I found this rolling box on Amazon UK, not realizing it was smaller than our US versions and ordered it. Husband thinks smaller fits better anyway, just need to roll it more often. I highly recommend Litter Purrfect brand litter to use in it. We can go about a month, rolling and adding litter as needed between box cleaning. The box has a screen on the side, roll box towards handle and clean litter falls through screen whilst dirty bits stay on top, continue rolling it towards handle, to upside down, and the dirty litter falls into a removable tray. Pull out the tray and dump into garbage. In US, I'd pick a carrier bag, check it for holes, dump tray and then put in our large outdoor wheelie bin. Roll box back to right side up and past to get litter back into cats' part of box.A few cons, but not insurmountable: the plastic tabs that hold the top & bottom together tend to fail after long use. Replace with metal bolts and wingnuts. As the tabs fail, litter will spill from the back. Make sure the parts fit together tightly and tape the removable tray side edges with masking tape to keep litter in. If your cat doesn't care for a covered box, he probably won't like the Omega.I think it's the perfect litter box, sorts out the nasty bits on its own, hides them from sight and a quick dump of the tray into a bag (no holes or you'll trail cat litter across the floor!), add litter as necessary and clean occasionally.notes after returning from London:-use the finest grained CLUMPING litter only. If you can get to a Costco, Litter Purrfect clumps hard & fast, even the wetter poo. The disastrous week or two in London using large grained litter in a lined, open tray resulted in the liner being coated in a smelly urine sludge that would not scoop out. Good litter was hard to find, Sainsburys had a good but expensive brand and not always in stock.-the large box is best for adult cats and I would get one even larger if it was made.-to clean, we take it outside, take it apart, dump used litter in heavy duty bin liner and spray all parts with spray bleach. Let sit. Hose off and/or add more bleach & let it soak. Hose off well. All the stuck on bits go away, no scrubbing. Let air dry. Best to have another box for cleaning unless you want to do it all in one go and wipe it dry.-it is a bit fiddly to put together sometimes, but I have rheumatoid & even my hands can get the job done.-taping is _crucial_ duct, masking, something unique to UK but tape the seams.-bang on the bottom of box when rolling to dislodge any stuck on clumps and prevent a mountain of wee & litter - one of my cats likes to wee in the exact same spot. I'm sure the guys in the flat beneath ours wondered about the thumping at midnight.-highly recommend

The idea is great makes an horrible job a little less unpleasant I really couldn't go back to a rack and shovel.You need to experiment with different types of clumping litter as some can be very stubborn and will just stick to the bottom, tried sainsburys, pets at home and various branded all didn't work too well, Tescos clumping has been by far the best where the others fail with this system Tescos seems to stick far less aggressively to bottom.Why one star? The construction is weak, the design problem lays with the sifting part, the sifting piece is a one part affair that folds to form a right angle in the inside of the box. I say folds because that exactly what it does, no hinge just ultra thin score in the one piece sifting part. As you can imagine you will need to regularly clean the box and its inners. Over the space of the 3 months I've had it the score in the folding siv is slowly turning into a detachment you can clearly see the stressed plastic in my photo. The catches are weak, you have three of them to keep the top bolted to bottom.To sum upProsGreat conceptGood removal of waste providing it doesn't get stuckConsWeak design it will not last long. Rubbish brittle plastic.You need to experiment with brands of litterTo expensive for a throwaway litter boxWeak catches****Update****Amazon customer service first class no fuss, replaced my broken litter box. Thank you Amazon.

When I seen this I thought yeah right a cat tray cleaning it selfI'm now kicking my self for thinking of this due to the fact that it does what it says and all you need to do is empty the handle part from the cat tray and you cat litter is clean and ready for your cat or kitten to use again.My kitten loves it she's using it all the timeShe's making the cat tray work hard so she is really testing it out bless herThe cost is fineSet up was a little awkward due to had to look at the manual over 3 times but given me a good jigsaw jobThe smell of the cat litter tray after my kitten has used it is okay not much of a smell like normal cat trays at allPackage with what it came in was big but tight to which I was pleased with cause stuff like this can break duing transitThe step for my kitten is brilliant she loves using itThe only thing that I would advise is putting a cat door on to give your cat some type of privacy cause when I went to check on my kitten while she was doing her toilet I got a dirty look as if she is saying to me do I mindOver all I think it has saved the cat litter being wasted and it has a good feeling about itI'm glad that my kitten really loves it she feels like queen bless her.Easy to use I can handle it well and great as I like it my self the ease of removal of the handle is fantastic and easy and yes I would really recommend this to all thoughs that is looking for a cat tray as this cat tray does exactly what it says on hereAnd who ever came up with this idea thank you it is the very best idea you cam up with
