Trixie Self-Cleaning Cat Litter Box

A thorough cleaning is really very difficult, and once the litter box is filled with water, it becomes extremely heavy. A lot of litter ended up underneath the box. And after just 23 months, part of the silicone (where the litter goes) developed a hole. Fortunately, zooplus was very responsive and offered me a replacement or a refund after I returned the litter box (I was still within the legal warranty period). I definitely recommend the PETKIT much more! But on the other hand, zooplus customer service is excellent!

Unfortunately, this automatic litter box hasn't solved the bad smell in the bathroom that I had with the regular litter. I was hoping it would be more hygienic, but that's not the case. It's hard to clean, there's always some dirt left somewhere. It still smells even after cleaning it with disinfectant. My cat often pees outside because she can't get in. Basically, I'm only using it to make up for the cost, otherwise I would have already gotten rid of it...

Purchased a year ago, it does the job and is genuinely practical, especially with several cats. However, it doesn’t always activate after they’ve used it, or sometimes not fully. I often have to trigger it manually, and a lot of litter falls underneath the tray. The real downside is cleaning it thoroughly, as it’s heavy and the drum can’t be taken apart. I’m planning to buy a second one, but definitely not this model, just because of the cleaning issue.

Unfortunately, it's not easy to clean. The drum is heavy and sand always gets stuck in the corners. The waste container also doesn't seal tightly enough, so it smells very unpleasant. Since everything is made of plastic, odours linger. Not suitable for tomcats that pee standing up. Somehow, urine leaks out in one spot.
