How to get the most out of this:
I connected it under the sink with a laundry connection so that it's directly plumbed into the drain. I purchased the hood, door, and mat. All of those are very worthwhile accessories. They fit well and actually improve the functionality of the machine.
I found this before a two week vacation where I couldn't find a cat watcher, and we have 3 cats. We have an auto feeder that lasts a month, auto filling water fountain, but the last thing we needed was an autocleaning litter box.
Unfortunately we only had less than a week to acclimate the cats to this. One cat loved it and immediately took to it, the 2nd was skeptical but used it as we removed the other litter boxes, our 3rd cat was ok until she observed the cleaning cycle and seemed worried that would happen while she was in there. But was very curious about it. We setup a video camera so we could watch them while we were gone and it was very interesting to see their interest in this. We did have a few accidents but that was because we didn't have the time to properly introduce them to it. Mainly the 3rd cat. After returning there haven't been any issues.
3 cats is the limit for the newest version of this. We're going to purchase another when the new house is ready. There's just not enough space and for another one.
The main issue is that it takes 38 minutes for a cleaning cycle. I have it set to start 20 minutes after a visit. That allows two cats to use before a cycle. I learned that they tend to go behind each other. I learned that watching their habits on the video. However, another would ensure one was ready to go at all times.
I've learned there's a cult like following for this and I completely understand why. You do have to purchase the sanitizer every few months and replace the washable litter because some of it sticks to the feces and a bit of it gets tracked out. However, the mat collects most that the cats track out. It's much more convenient to refill with a pancake box of litter, and sanitizer than the heavy cat litter.
This this be said before I go into detail. This might be an OKAY machine for 1 Cat.
I've got two female cats, that took to the machine easily. The only issue I have with the cats and the machine is that the Cats like to sit on top of the machine to watch it clean. Them doing made them find a nice button with a color that swirrels, They love it! ':( Its the button to put the machine into Manuel / Automatic mode which is here half my problems are.
The machine itself installed easy; it'll comes with EVERYTHING. It was nice and a quick set up even though it comes with 3 manuals on setup. Don't worry it'll be fast.
The machine does have a weird function on the backet arm that knocks off the granules before dumping the poop in the bucket to grind. You might think you set the machine up wrong at this point but that's just the awkward sound you'll have to deal with day / night.
THE MAIN PROBLEMs (Other than lack of communication from its provider)
1. After one cat uses the CatGenie, of course the other cat has to usually go so now Cat 1 has went and Cat 2 has to wait 20minutes for the machine to clean.
Maybe: If it has a better senor to wait some time to make sure no current activity before it goes into cleaning mode.
2. The CatGenie doesn't clean properly. I does a couple spins into the basket, it dumps, then switches directions. This causes the machine to miss 40% of the mess. (Wait for it) When it goes into a back blade motion it piles everything up for water. Once it hits water and you have poops, your in trouble for a horrible cleaning event, and smell that'll be projected throughout your house went it gets to the drying process. It'll drain the water leaving the poo slurry residue on the granules for the blow dryer to really push some heat onto it. If you can imagine.... I've puked twice and left my house 3 times now since I've gotten the Cat Genie..
MAYBE: If the machine on the start of the cleaning, went around once, dumped. and went around 2-3 more times the normal direction it would have a better chance of cleaning. BEFORE back blading and adding water.
Currently, to avoid this problem, I have to stay on top of making sure my cats arent chaning the function mode on me from Manuel to Automatic. That way is give me a chance to scoop MY OWN LITTER BOX, so the machine doesnt >_> Fudge... up...
Please follow this review, as I've waited over a month for a response from the company, I've gotten nothing from Email. If they don't respond to this, I'll make sure my review is seen on all platforms.
I don't even know how this should be corrected, they've waited long enough passed my money back guarantee so I doubt they'll honor that, I guess I'm just hoping this false advertising of effortless litter box will come to an end or be corrected through updating and research.
Sorry for the Grammar errors, and typos. I'm not Happy.
