Why it matters
This ScoopFree rakes through clumping litter and locks clumps and odor in a waste bin, so there are no trays to buy. PetSafe says it works with clumping and most other litter types.
Empty the bin about once a week and refresh the litter periodically. The bin, tray and rake come out for cleaning.
Who it's for, and who should skip it
Good fit if
- Clumping litter users
- Single or multi-cat homes
- Owners avoiding trays
Look elsewhere if
- Homes without a level spot near an outlet
- Cats that are afraid of moving parts
- Kittens under the maker's minimum weight
Pros and cons
Pros
- No trays
- Clumping litter
- Easy cleaning
Cons
- Weekly emptying
- Limits not stated
- Rake design
Limitations to weigh
- Set it on a hard, level floor near an outlet. Weight sensors read wrong on carpet or uneven tile, which can stop or trigger cycles.
- Automatic cycling has a minimum cat weight; keep automatic mode off for kittens under it and run cleans manually.
- Empty the waste bin before it's full and keep spare bags; an overfull bin is the most common cause of a stalled cycle.
- Running costs come from the bags, liners, filters and litter the maker specifies. The compatibility checker lists refills that state they fit.
