: ScoopFree® LB2 Ultra Self-Cleaning Litter Box
Rating: 
- It Stinks
I have one 3 lb. kitten.The box and hood are great and the kitten likes the litter. But do not be fooled.....It doesn't handle odor the way other litter does! I still scoop everyday from under the cardboard lip.
Before my Scoopfree came i was using a disposable box w/ litter (Cats Pride) Far superior litter! I will not be buying anymore replacement cartridges. I will use a permanent cartridge and fill w/ own litter. A waste of money!

I was probably one of the first people to buy one of these "Scoop-Free" litter boxes - about 2 years ago. I bought it as a gift for a new cat owner while I attended a focus group for cat owners that was sponsored by the Scoop-Free folks. The inventor/owner of the company was there on hand to extol the virtues of his new invention.
It sounded good. I got a deal on the box, so it seemed like a good idea.
The owner of the company promised a "Discount" on cartridges if you buy them in quantity. Otherwise, they cost $15 each. PetSmart was mentioned as a dealer that would have them in multi-packs at a discount - as was Amazon. (Six cartridges for $89 and change... Um - that's $15 per cartridge. Where's the discount!?)
The "discount" is pretty lame. Nowhere near the savings the owner/inventor promised.
That's only half of it.
As others have mentioned, this litter box is NOT odor free! The solid waste is scooped up and sits is a tiny little compartment and it festers there - stinking and festering and getting moldy. IF you have more than one cat - or a larger cat - the undersized compartment QUICKLY overfills and won't even close - making sure the odor permeates your home. To make the litterbox a *little* less odor-full, you can remove some of the solid waste - but there goes the scoop-free claim.
About that 30 days (and "forget it") - I suggest you forget about 30 days entirely. Even with one normal size cat on a normal diet - it won't go anywhere 30 days without attention. *Maybe* 2 weeks if you're very very lucky. With 2 cats - ONE week at the outside.
Buy this litterbox if you have money to burn on cartridges ($15 apiece - no real discounts to be found) or want to impress your friends. (just make sure to clean out those cat potatoes before your buddies arrive!)
PERHAPS if you don't mind fussing with dirty litterboxes, you could clean out the cartridge and refresh the soiled litter with bulk crystal litter. That might make it a little more affordable.
Personally, I'm sorry I spent the money. Sorry I bought this as a gift for a friend - saddling her with the expensive refills. As it is - she only uses it when she goes out of town. (and when she gets back - the place reeks.) It's JUST too expensive to use for an "everyday" litterbox.
Save your money. The litterbox that can go more than a couple of days without attention hasn't been invented yet.
Rating: - Works as advertised
It took a couple days for my two cats to get used to this box and we had one accident on the carpet.
But they've been using it for a month now and it was totally worth it. There is much less tracking of litter through the house and it is easy, simple and mess free to clean the cartridge.

- its ok
well, i was so excited when i first bought this cuz i'm at work all freakin day and my poor kitty is all my himself in his room and i just dont have time or energy to clean the litter box at the end of a long day. so i plugged it in and after two weeks..the smell started coming...b/c the trays are so expensive i really wished it would have lasted longer but after 3 weeks it was unbearable! i had to buy a new tray (petsmart $15.99) is the cheapest i could find. so, it doesnt last a month, sorry guys...after two weeks it stinks, but you can cover it up by spreading the crystals over the space that the little hood leaves (the poops starts to lift up the little cardboard hood)so i mean its cool that its so clean, but the smell just kills you after 3 weeks.
pricey..is it worth it? there's not better alternative so..a forced yes.
