Ideal for a household with a large cat or more than one cat, this big, self-cleaning litter box eliminates most odors while keeping the litter pleasingly fresh for tabby. It's ingenious in design: a cat entering the box triggers a sensor; the sensor sets a timer that counts off 10 minutes; then a rake runs through the litter, scooping out clumps and depositing them in a plastic container at the box's end; the container is automatically sealed until the next cat visit, when the raking cycle opens the container for another deposit. (Twelve reusable, disposable containers are included, each 13 inches long, 4 inches wide, and 3-1/2 inches deep.) The litter box can be plugged into a wall socket (AC adapter included) or operated on eight D-cell batteries (not included). It comes with a durable carpeted ramp that leads a cat into the box and cleans its paws on the way out. For safety, the rake stops and reverses at the slightest touch if an object gets in the way. If a cat re-enters the box before the initial 10 minutes have elapsed, the timer automatically resets. The litter box is made of hard plastic and measures 29 inches long, 8-7/8 inches high, and 16-3/4 inches wide. For proper operation, it requires premium, clumping litter but does not need as much as a nonautomated litter box of the same size. For cleaning, the litter tray can be detached. Instructions for acclimating a cat to the box are included. --Fred Brack
Product Description
LitterMaid LM900 self-cleaning cat litter box works best with premium clay based cat litter. Your cat must be in front of the sensor for 5 seconds then it will automatically cycle 10 minutes after your cat leaves the litter box, raking the waste into a disposable container, where it and odors are sealed away.

 I would give it a ZERO if I could July 28, 2010
Ann (Longmont, CO)
I've been meaning to review this product for awhile. I bought my original littermaid about 15 years ago and really liked it a lot. Eventually, it needed replacing. Wow. What an inferior product. For such a pricey item I expected better. I wrote to Littermaid CS and received no response. After struggling with this product for several years (probably an older model than this one), my daughter finally convinced me to get a new litter system.
My house stunk.
The rake was horrible, not touching the bottom of the pan, and litter turned into clay.
The waste recepticles were far inferior and could hardly be reused more than a few times which is expensive and bad for the environment, too.
I told myself all those years that it was worth the hassle because I "travel." The truth is I am lazy and I sometimes travel. However, when it got down to it I was scooping my box - by hand - at least twice daily and had been doing so for YEARS. You couldn't rely on the Littermaid to scoop properly and half the time the box JAMMED leaving it out of commission all day. (Tell yourself how you would feel if you couldn't flush the toilet all day but had no choice but to use it? Yuck)
I have a multiple cat family and was going through TWO of the mega huge buckets of litter every single month. At $13.00/each, that adds up.
My daughter grew up over the course of my Littermaid history and got herself a cat. Did she get a Littermaid? No. She got a Booda Dome Litter box and a Petmate LitterLocker. She convinced me to do the same.
Now, I'm not going to lie. The thought of having to shell $10/piece for the LitterLocker bag thingies didn't sit that well with me. Well, guess what? I started scooping on my own (no more clay) and suddenly went from TWO buckets of litter to ONE bucket of litter - if that - every month. The bag thingies paid for themselves and then I discovered that Amazon had those bag thingies for $5/each if you bought enough.
Wow. I can't say enough about my new litter system. My house doesn't stink. I'm not as lazy as I thought. The cats are happier. I spend less money.
No choice - don't buy this product. What a hassle.
 Great for multiple cats! July 24, 2010

I do cat rescue and this is the only model that will handle more than one cat. I have two of the LM900's now and would like about five more. The more help I can get with the rescue kittys the better. Everyone who comes into my house can not believe I even have one cat because they cannot smell anything. Thanks to my LitterMaid LM900's.
great! July 13, 2010
karen in Ks.
this is my third litterbox like this. i have two cats. it keeps the dogs out of the litter and also keeps down the smell. i purchased the elite(new) version and took it right back. it did not work as well as this version. i called customer service and she told me that i was right it was worthless. i am very happy with this product and i received it in less than a week.
More mess and fuss July 10, 2010

At first this automated litter box seemed to be the real deal. First impressions can be disceiving. If you have a larger cat, say 10 lbs or more, then this machine has a laborsome time getting the job done. The rake sticks and seldom cleans it's self much less the box and I have tried every brand of premium litter on the market with the same results. It was not worth the $100 plus price tag. It may work fine for small cats, but it you have a large cat, forget it, you'll have more cleaning to do than with a conventional litter box.
 You're not going to belive this... July 9, 2010

I know that readers will find this hard to believe, or that there must be another explanation, but this is a true and accurate account of our experience with this product.
First, I should say that our cats tend to be a little "different". We've had a cat who always drank water by scooping it up with his paw first. Cats that figured out how to open the front door. Cats that stalk dogs and chase them. You get the idea.
We purchased this gadget in preparation for going out of town, and leaving the cats set up "home alone" for the weekend in a large unfinished basement. They were used to eating and drinking from dispensers, and we always leave backup supplies just in case, so we had the input side of the equation covered. The output side of things, however, tended to be less than ideal. Our solution had always been multiple litter pans, and this device seemed like a great improvement. We sent it up in a clear area, "introduced" the cats to its use, and went on our way.
When we got back, we found that the cats did not have the positive response to this device we had hoped. Not only had the device been turned upside down and emptied, but the batteries had been removed and scattered across the room. But that wasn't enough. Our industrious kitties had dragged whatever they could lay paws on over to the unit and buried it in random objects.
While the details of what inspired such a profound "statement" were not completely clear, the message was extremely clear. And so it sits, unused and unloved, spurned by our cats. And to the list of peculiarities our cats have displayed, we must add the term "Luddites".
It is worth mentioning that no other animals had access to the area, including humans. The box was flat on the floor. There was no where for it to fall, and absolutely nothing in the vicinity to fall on it. We are not subject to significant seismic activities. There were no crop circles in the yard. Just cats. Cats with too much time on their hands, and an attitude towards robotic litter boxes.
