Very Good – Great so far cats used it straight away. Time will tell as I have 3 cats. It sure beats scooping each day and they have fresh litter all the time. The build quantity is better than I thought and its super quiet. I ordered the step as its a bit high for the cats to jump into. Show details
Stinky and hard to clean – Have been using this for 6 months now and have mixed feelings about it. It definitely serves its purpose and works as it’s designed to. If you have cats a self cleaning litter box is a must, especially if you have a fussy cats. However I find it gets smelly very quickly and you need to empty the waste bin very frequently as this is where most… Read more
of the smell comes from - which for my cats, this defeats the purpose of it. My cats don’t like the cat smell, and won’t use a litter box that is smelly. I find also after doing a complete deep clean and washing the ball with pet odour neutralising products, it still has a smell and a lot of waste gets stuck under the plastic flaps which you can’t get under. After taking it apart I also noticed a lot of litter as well as cat poop getting into all the tiny crevices which some are impossible to get into.
Also, medium and large garbage bags fit inside the waste bin so no need to waste extra money on their branded ones. They’re much cheaper and you can buy scented ones to help with the smell
Fantastic has made such a positive impact – The Catlink automatic litter box has been fantastic. No more scooping poop, no more upset cat/s. I have one who poops and pees outside the box if the litter wasn't pristine. Now all three cats are supper happy and so am I. Can't live without the Catlink litter box. Show details
So much trial and error and terrible to clean – I have so far tried 5 litter types. It doesn’t take much before it stinks (which mostly comes from the waste basket) which is clearly not very airtight. It also takes a couple of days (with two cats) before it needs emptying. Definitely not a week. And I just pulled it apart for the first time to give it a thorough clean. There was urine soaked… Read more
clumpy litter everywhere and especially in many little crevices in the base that they tell you to use wipes to clean. Was stinky litter and urine under the base as well. I am not sure it is actually a time saver. It just defers the time to clean to later
Won't be disappointed – I am a registered breeder and I was sceptical when buying this "Catlink". I was researching into the best robotic litter cleaner - there is a few on the market, but price wise, I couldn't justify anything over $1000.00. I came across Catlink and thought I'd give it a go. Due to a pre-existing back injury I struggle badly to do the litter boxes… Read more
(Cleaning them leaves me with pain for days). This has been a life changer! My cats used it pretty regularly over night and the clumping clay still looks good, no smell and still a lot left! It weighs the cats and updates you when they use it, so it was pretty good to see they USED it. The cats got in straight away, had a sniff about and investigated the machine. It is SO quiet, no noise from the motor and its pretty simple and easy to setup. The litter was so clean, and the clumping clay was still pretty full even after last night usage. I am going to absolutely buy another one! Great value, good price! PS - I bought a litter mat from Kmart to put at the base, and we haven't had any litter wastage (From reading other comments)
Should Have Bought it Sooner! – I have only one regret with my decision to purchase the CatLink Automatic Self-Cleaning Cat Litter Box and that is that I should have done so a long time ago. What a revolution. It’s made a terrible chore an absolute breeze and my 2 cats just love it. In the past they were forced to use cat litter until I was able to face cleaning the box. Now… Read more
it’s fresh and dry every time, they feel the call of nature and within minutes of setting the unit up, they were both in there doing their thing.
At first the $499 cost seemed expensive, but then considering I spent $670 on 2 Modkat Litter Boxes ($270 each) plus replacement liners ($65 each) it was cheap in comparison. Better still, the used litter doesn’t smell, and it makes the difficult task of cleaning a simple and no-fuss thing to do.
There are however, 2 drawbacks:
1. Litter on the Floor When exiting the CatLink Litter Box, the cats leave a trail of cat litter behind them. There doesn’t appear to be any way to avoid this, and the only solution is to put a floor mat in front of the box to catch it.
2. Auto Vs Manual Cleaning I don’t know why, but it seems that on some occasions the self-cleaning function does not activate. So, the unit has to be switched from Auto to Manual to clean and then back to Auto. If you’re not careful, it’s easy to activate the Empty Function by mistake.
One cat or two, this is a product you quickly learn to appreciate.
