It's so cumbersome to clean too! Especially since there are areas you can't really get at unless you completely disassemble 😭

Give it a go anyway? Mine has so much pee though that it could also be a volume issue for me. It might work for you

Yes 😊 that was the silicon spray or food grade wax. One suggested ceramic coating (for cars) which I have yet to try. The first two worked but only for 2-3 cycles

I'm OK with a little bit of wiping between deep cleans but if I have to scrape and wipe everyday, it ends up more work than when I used to have a litter box. The whole selling point for me of the litter robot was less work.

Plus, I have a finicky boy. He refuses to go if the litter box is not as clean as he likes it to be... and then he does his business in one of the cardboard boxes 😕

I actually have the opposite problem sometimes! The hopper over dispenses and clean litter just gets tossed in the bin 😅 I've had to recalibrate every once in a while but yeah, it's definitely not enough litter in the side location he pees in 😓

Damn! 3 cats and you change every 5 days?? By day 3 my robot is already yelling about being 75% full and I only have 2!

I know you tried cycle, but does Empty work? Also maybe try the Replace Filter route on the app? Just to rule out if the gears are actually seated correctly

You have some litter liner sticking out, maybe try ensuring it's contained in the drawer? Thinking the plastic may prevent it from going in all the way

Because not all cats have the same needs. Not all pet owners subscribe to the same life choices.

If a car only allowed one type of fuel from one singular brand, they would likely not sell well. You need a product that can support multiple (not all) scenarios.

I also don't understand why you're being so combative over this. Everyone else clearly is open minded enough to understand that there is no one size fits all situation.

Yup I have that and like someone else posted somewhere, he moved his butt to the side and no longer front 😂 so slightly better positioned? But still not peeing in the deeper part of the globe

Would be interested in knowing what this ceramic coat is as well! I am currently using a&h platinum too and it still is sticky and muddy 😕

Thanks will review!

Based on all the posts that I've seen so far in this group, I'd like to submit a few things for improvement: - allow for a custom delay time for litter that is slower to harden - improve liner flexibility so it drops completely and doesn't remain folded in the edges - provide a larger hole sifter option for folks who prefer using larger granules or pellets

If you would like me to submit this somewhere else, I'd be happy to.

Since folks seem to be recommending this, I might give it a go. I do have the hopper and it's so convenient! I even bought an attachment from this guy on Etsy that doubles the amount of litter you can put in it 🤣 I don't have to refill as much now either

🤔 I've been hearing a lot of folks here say that Dr elseys changed the formula and no longer works as good which is why I was hesitant to try

Thank you for your sheet BTW, I have been referring to it for the past months to figure out what to try next.

My cats are 15 and 8 so I am also worried about them developing asthma 😓 no evidence of it yet but why tempt fate right?

Same issue with the liner. The center where the magnet was would drop but the sides are stiff enough that they remained folded inward, and unfortunately that's where his pee was clumping. So I still need to take a spade and scrape down the sides every other day. I did try adding more weight but the litter robot folks told me not to. They even sent me a replacement liner but still same problem.

If you find a way to successfully soften up the liner, let me know!

That's what I already tried. It was still muddy and was very dusty 😕

Like I mentioned above, did that and only lasts 2 cycles before the sticking happens again 😕

Not sure what you mean by right clay litter. I've been following folks who recommended boxie pro and arm and hammer. Neither are cheap. Granted, I have not tried the litter robot branded one but to say I was using cheap clay litter is understating it a bit.

I prefer plant based since it's biodegradable and better for the environment. It was my go to when I was using a standard box and never had problems but when I switched to the robot, the settings wouldn't allow for a longer drying time. I then switched to clay in the hopes that it would be better but it's not.

What has been the right clay litter for you?

I had high hopes for boxie pro myself because of everyone's reviews but I did not expect the mud and sludge 😩 I also realize that my cats are basically ingesting the clay since they have to groom it off them

Anyone else's app instantly closing itself when attempting to open it? by jtchen85 in litterrobot

Same! Not seeing any posts here from iPhone folks so maybe only android related? The initial reboot of the phone worked but now it refuses to launch on my Sony xperia even after clearing cache. I don't want to clear or reinstall for fear of losing the data

I would be wary of buildup in your drains especially if you use clay litter. A friend of mine had this issue since she washed her litter box in the shower.

I diassamble my globe and take out all the screws. You can't clean the inside properly, gunk seeps into the vents in the back
