Cat lovers are quite relieved over the invention of the Littermaid Litter Box. With the Littermaid litter box, their homes no longer suffer unpleasant cat odor plus cat owners are able to maintain sanitation in their abode without much difficulty. Since it hit the market several years ago, the Littermaid litter box has surely made the life of cats and their owners easier.
Before the introduction of the Littermaid litter boxes, cat owners would normally go through all the scooping and disposal of cat wastes every day. But thanks to Littermaid's ever dynamic technology, creative minds behind Littermaid have come up with more advanced cat litter boxes to ease the burden of cat lovers. Littermaid’s litter boxes operate with a sensor device and a timer that initiates the scooping process ten minutes after a cat leaves the box. The rakes do the scooping and sorting of clumps before sending the wastes to a disposable tray below. The tray slides out for emptying of litter. To make your Littermaid litter box work for a long time, the rakes need to be cleaned occasionally as they can become clogged with the clumps.
Littermaid litter boxes are available in various sizes and models. The Littermaid Self-Cleaning Litter Box Basic LM500 is recommended for households with one cat only. It has dual power features and strong removable ramp. This Littermaid litter box model comes with reusable/disposable waste containers, AC adapter, triple action tool, four carbon filters, an instruction manual and one-year warranty.
There is the Elite Mega Litterbox advanced automatic self-cleaning type which is suited for home with multiple cats. This Littermaid litter box model automatically rakes waste into a container within minutes after use by the cat. It has a sensor-activated ionic air cleaner, a sleep timer for use during nighttime, removable steel rake, extra large capacity, safety bar, removable litter tray, low voltage, a kitty kabana, paw cleaning ramp and four disposable and sealable waste containers.
Another type of Littermaid litter box is the Mega Deluxe Littermaid which features a sifting comb that moves through the litter and gathers cat waste. The waste is automatically deposited to a sealed container and the sifting comb goes back to its original position to start another cleaning process. The waste receptacle is reusable and/or disposable so when it’s full, you can either wash it to be used again or throw it out. This unit has easy to clean surfaces, 12 waste containers, a cleaning brush, instruction booklet, paw cleaning ramp, low voltage AC adapter, four carbon filters and triple-action tool. The Mega Deluxe litter box is best for households with large and multiple cats as it holds more litter than the original unit and has a deeper removable tray. Its motor is quieter and longer-lasting so there’s no need to worry about it making so much noise in your home.
The Littermaid Self-Cleaning Automatic Litter Box unit comes in four series of models – the LM500, LM700, LM900 (by far the most popular) and the new Elite LME9000. The automatic units have been existing for a few years now and a new model, the Littermaid LME9000, has been introduced on the market but many consumers prefer the classic LM900 unit over the newer one. The new Littermaid litter box model assures a smoother operation of the rake and motor, no clumps and no foul cat odor in the home. Clumps are lessened as the unit clears them as soon as they appear and sends them to a sealed container. It is recommended that the Littermaid litter box rakes and litter pan be cleaned once a month. The rake guides should also be vacuumed every week to avoid litter dust.
