Omega Paw Roll 'n Clean Self Cleaning Litter Box, Brown, Large

After reading all the reviews I was skeptical about this litter box but I have four rescue cats ranging from 7 to 19 lbs. The 19 pound cat is a half Main Coon. I had three extra large litter boxes and 1 regular litter box. Keeping them clean and not smelling was a daily chore! No matter what litter I used! I can't afford an electric self cleaning litter box and did not want the hassle of maintaining one by having to keep the sensor clean and taking the thing apart to clean at times. So I thought about this litter box. I decided that I could fix any issues the reviews addressed and I did! I should patten this! 😂 I am so happy with these that I had to share! I have two, even with four cats! I roll it daily and have no issues! Here are the instructions complete with pictures to make this the perfect litter box!1. Addressing the issue of loose catch pan with a gap. Buy a couple of buckle latches for each box. I got four (enough for two boxes) for around 5 or 6 bucks on Amazon. Take a very small drill bit and predrill holes. Make sure the drill bit is smaller than the screw you will be using to affix the latch. Be sure the part of the latch you pull up is clear of the catch pan handle. I bought 3 inch latch buckles. This will pull the catch pan close to the opening. Be sure to align the catch pan properly when drilling holes so it will sit rightWhen you use the sceew to attach the latch it may hang out some but it is not where a cat can scratch themselves. Be careful when atraching latch. I drilled my first hole to close to catch pan edge. Again, don't use a large drill bit or the screw will not stay. SEE PICTURE2. Catch pan spilling litter. Take some weather stripping and put inside the top of door of the catch pan. When you do this and add a latch...problem solved. SEE PICTURE3. Leaking litter and cat urinating against wall causing leaking issues. Get a roll of weather stripping. I got a roll for about 6.00 bucks from Amazon. I got 1/2 wide by 1/16 thickness. I will double check measurements. You don't need one to thick or the latch will not close. When lining the bottom of the box bypass where the latch connects to the top. This will stop any litter spillage and urine spillage at the seam. The weather stripping is not seen and does not get wet of a cat urinates on the wall because the top of the pan overlaps. After putting the weather stripping on it will take a little more effort to latch the lid. Do so carefully as not to break the lid. I had to problem. No when I take the lid off every 2 weeks to clean the pan the latch work great because the weather stripping as mashed into perfect shape.4. Now for the BIGGEST complaint. The sifter grid will not stay in place. First take a very small drill bit and drill a hole in the snap area at the bottom for the grid. SEE PICTURE before doing so. Then take a plastic tie wrap and insert and pull around to the back of the sifter grid and secure. To do this you have to drill the hole first then snap the grid in and then secure behind the grid on the horizontal part of the grid. Then finishing installing the piece as instructed by putting the back down into the pan. This will keep the grid sifter in place. Be sure to snap the grid sifter in place first or it may not work.I could not be happier with my 2 litter boxes! I hope this helps anyone who loves cats but can't afford an electric litter box or who doesn't trust them or doesn't want the maintenance of one.I have also found that if you roll the litter box to only 80% you will not loose to much litter in the catch pan. I sometimes roll it to far and get a catch pan full of good litter. My solution...I have a large plastic bowl with a large scoop in it. I slowly dump the catch pan in that then discard the waste in the litter genie and then dump the litter back in the box. Seems time consuming? Nope...takes about 60 seconds to clean each box! I use hardball litter mixed with paws and claws clumping litter because some have said hardball is dusty to cats sinuses. I have not had any issues and even with a 19 lb half Main Coon I have had to messy messes to clean. That would be a personal preference to anyone on the litter they use.I hope this helps anyone who wants a semi self cleaning litter box!

Finally! A box that simplifies the task! At a reasonable cost. No need to spend half a grand.I was prepared for this not to work as simply and effectively as it does. After working with many other types and left frustrated, forever sweeping, vacuuming far down a hall (and holding my breath against smell), this box has made it so easy to clean regularly.Still a chore, of course, but not one so bad that you find any excuse to avoid, to the disfavor of your pet.In the action of tipping all the way over, back, and just a bit more, I was convinced it would spill everywhere. But, NO. NO litter on the floor. No need to worry about the lid coming off. The locking clips are secure and not touched when you roll. The added advantage of the rolling, is if you have a totally unconventional cat who does not scratch til the end of time to bury his #2, it will be covered by the time it is retrieved in the closed pull/drawer scoop.Have a small waste can liner open and ready. Pull out, deposit into waiting bag, return scoop to box, and close your bag.Almost no smell, and only for a tiny fraction of the time standing over an open box sifting from one end to the other.I have added litter just through the entrance to refill to line indicated on interior wall, so I haven't needed to remove top.I only wish it came in an even larger size.We have three cats using it! (No problem at all to clean every day now. With the lower smell, we have it placed were it is passed several times a day. No shoving to a far corner, out of sight put if mind.)No, the reason I wish for a larger size is our grey mackerel tabby is a big American boy. He uses it without any issue, but I can't imagine how he turns around in it. As he was my concern, I had left our previous box, an over size, open top with high walls, close to this when I set it up.He ignored that and went right to this!I will admit, I am so excited about this I am reviewing after only two weeks. It is entirely plastic. It has a slick surface on interior. With the shifting of the litter, build up sticking to the interior sides has not happened, yet.The built in screen/shelf for scoop, is one piece, bent to 90°angle, and clicked into place.I do not know how long I can go without totally disassembling for a wash. Time will tell how many opening and closing of the clips will add occur before a break.You will have to find a litter that fills your needs AND works with this box. The sifting wall is comprised of a long piece of plastic with long slots, alternating with slats of equal width plastic. Too big a granule of litter, or granules that swell large but don't clump, will have you finding litter in the scoop.In sampling many varieties of litter, I had already been using one made from walnut shells. For a time, with previous box (and fewer cats), the box was in the bathroom and I flushed the waste; walnut shells are flushable.It naturally covers (most of the) smell.It creates no dust.It has no chemicals.It upsales/recycles a sustainable, green, waste product. (It really sickens me that as a culture we are using food, actual wheat and corn for cat litter; not the chaff and cob, but the grain!)It is relatively more expensive by weight, but have found it lasts a longer time. Not as much volume is used in covering and clumping.The recycled paper I tried did not clump or absorb (to my surprise). Also I could see that colored ink was in the mix and the types of ink were not listed.Every clay I tried had dust, even dustless. I didn't like spending time sifting, outside, with a mask, so the cats wouldn't be inhaling that.I use the medium size crushed walnut shells. The smallest stays in paws and one will find at farthest end of house. The pellets, though they absorb urine, don't clump (perhaps they are suited for boxes with bases that strain onto a pad.) I have no idea if these would trigger a nut allergy in a susceptible person.

This litter box was suggested to me from a family member who bought one and raved about it. It did come with the recommendation that there were some modifications to be made, because some of the pieces did not stay in place. I was skeptical, but wanted to give it a shot.For reference, we have seven cats. Looking for ways to make scooping easier, as we end up scooping multiple times per day. Not quite ready to invest in one of the electronic litter boxes yet.I feel like this box is a good concept, but very poorly designed. The sifter/screen does not stay in place. It needs a way to actually lock in. A few times I’ve been using it, it has fallen or loosened and all the litter has gone everywhere (this was the modification that the person who recommended it to me made, including screwing the sifter into place). I also often have litter coming out from the scoop box.The letter box ends up, creating extra work for us, because our cats like to pee in the corners. When they pee in the corner by the sifter, it gets clogged up and actually ends up sticking to the floor behind the sifter so I have to take the entire thing apart to scoop and clean the sifter out. That likely won’t be a problem for everybody, but it creates double the work for us.We’ll just have to stick to the regular scooping for now.
