Product Description
Ideal for big cats or multiple-cat households, this large roll-away litter box quickly self-cleans, while controlling dust and containing odors. Simply roll the litter box to the right until the top touches the floor, and then roll it back to the upright position. The unit's internal mechanism deposits the clumped waste into the pullout waste tray for easy disposal. The system works only with clumping litter, and the waste tray separates clumped waste from clean litter, so clean litter is never thrown away. The litter box makes it easy to provide the cat not only with a clean litter box, but also with privacy due to the covered pan design. The litter box also helps save money--no more scoops, liners, or filters to buy. With a silver top and blue base, the litter box measures 19-1/2 by 22 by 20 inches with a 9-by-9-inch opening.

If you put the box together right, the loose litter flows through the screen as you roll the box to the right; keep rolling the box and the clumps go on over the top of the screen into the open top of the collection box. Ingeniously simple! (For those who think the CLUMPS need to go through the screen: look at it again. It's probably just a matter of flipping the screen so that it goes from the edge of the collection box downward to the bottom, not upward. Leaving the top of the collection box uncovered, at the top edge of the screen.)
Some hints: 1) When you roll the box upright again, give it a good shake to the right, or roll it part way to the left and back upright, to bring the litter back into the potty chamber. 2) If your floor space is limited, scoot the box leftward as you roll it to the right. As for the litter, there is no magic height the litter has to be in the potty chamber; I don't know how some could find this a problem. 3) To fill the box, tilt it backward and pour in the litter. To empty it, tilt it forward over a trash receptacle.
As for the quality of the box, it's just fine; any better quality and it would be too heavy for me to use, being up in my years. The latches that hold the top and bottom of the box together could be stronger, but face it, how often will you need to open it up? After being in use for two months, there is nothing sticking to the box yet to clean up, and so no reason to open it--maybe this won`t be true with all litters. Based on recommendations, I have only used World`s Best clumping litter; it lasts a l-o-n-g time because not much is caught up in the clumps, and what is left is still clean, not like some I`ve used, where fouled or wet bits fall away from the clumps. The regular litter boxes get dirty above the litter line, but that hasn't happened yet with the Omega boxes--must have something to do with the shape...
If the latches don't latch smoothly, don't put undue pressure on them, just check that they are lined up straight and the box rims are tightly together, and look to see if there is a little tag of plastic keeping the latches from moving well, and take it off with a paring knife or pocket knife.
I got the bigger size from PetSmart for my larger cat. I left the old litter box there until he got used to the new one, but he never again set foot in the old box! I got a regular size box, from PetCo, for my smaller, blind kitty so she could have it in her favorite area, but my big cat uses that regular-size one just as often as he uses the bigger one!
I LOVE it!

With three cats in my arsenal of cats this box works best for me. I have tried all kinds of boxes even the expensive motor driven kind. This works best. just roll and empty. One of my cats likes to pee on the inside wall of the box which killed the Littermaid, and hampered cleaning with the various other boxes I've owned. This box deals with it better because it is a MANUAL operated box. The cats cannot physically pee on the grate that seperates the clumps from the clean litter. Just roll it over daily and empty the container. Nothing is perfect, but this comes close. A bargain compared to the Littermaid and other "high-tech" boxes in terms of cost and maintenance. Finally someone applied physics to a cat box. Give that person a raise!

I can't believe I'm raving about a litter box, but I am. I've raved about this to my husband, to my friends, on my blog... to everyone who'll listen, as a matter of fact. I have a kitten whose rather finicky about litter box hygiene, and a large house -- which means I need more than one litter box. I thought to replace one of our litter boxes with this, leaving the ol' 'covered box' as his main one.
Well, my kitten apparently has other plans. He's stopped using the others, so now I'm ordering two more just like this.
This litter box is SO easy to clean:
1. Keep 3" of clumping litter in it at all times. Refill as needed.
2. Shake the box vigorously after cleaning to "level" the litter.
3. To clean, roll the box upside-down on the round side.
4. Return the box to rightside up.
5. Remove the drawer and dump the drawer's contents.
That's IT. The top is secured with very firm clasps to ensure the litter doesn't go flying everywhere when you roll it, and the hole in front is not only large enough for big kitties, but also for you to add litter using a jar if you don't want to have to remove the box's lid.
Seriously, it's worth the money. You'll never mind cleaning the litter box again. That, my friends, is PRICELESS!

After reading rave reviews of this box on epinions and amazon.com, we purchased one (the large size) and found that the box had more problems than solutions. The reviews on amazon touch on some of the problems we have had, such as breaking plastic snaps, litter sneaking out through the seams as you roll the box, litter sticking to the sides and bottom, and trouble with maintaining just the right level of litter to solve the problems, etc. We tried one of the reviewer's suggestions of adding bolts and wing nuts to secure the top while rolling, but since the sifting mechanism cannot accommodate loose stools or stuck urine, you're going to need to take the top off frequently and more easily than can be done once it's bolted. We currently have three additional conventional covered litter boxes in use which, used with the right litter (World's Best--great stuff!), are much easier to clean than this one, and don't require the extra floor space to "roll" them. We bought the box through RadioFence.com and called to ask if their "money back guarantee" ("If you are dissatisfied with any product for any reason") would apply here but of course it would not if the box has been defecated in. (how else would you know if it works?) DO NOT BUY THIS BOX IF YOUR CAT SUFFERS FROM IBS or ever has any kind of diarreah or loose stool--it will stick all over the grate and get inside of the mechanism. Our five indoor-only cats are all very clean, and some of them just didn't want to use this box, possibly because of the sifting mechanism taking up so much of the interior. In the end, the box takes up more room to operate, makes more mess, and is more difficult to clean than regular boxes so we are just going to have to take the loss ($44.99 with mat on RadioFence.com) and buy another regular box to replace this one.
Bottom Line:
More hassle to clean than scooping of conventional box. Requires floor space to perform "roll." Top breaks off when rolling, must be taken off to clean out what sifter misses, such as soft stools and urine that get stuck.
 HUGE and messy, but OK for quicky September 4, 2007

The box is OK for those days when you just don't have time to clean out the box. Just tilt the box over to the side until you don't hear any more chunks falling to the top, then tilt it back and the chunks get deposited into the waste removal basket and the sand slides back into the part the kitty uses. Takes about 30 seconds to clean the cat box. You can get the big chunks cleaned out, but you don't really get the sand very clean. It's full of waste and some of the chunks aren't so small. I still have to clean it at least twice a week the old fashion way.
The cat box is HUGE and requires a lot of space to roll it over. I have to move it out of my service porch to roll it, yet the part the cat uses is not very big in comparison, and I have the large box for a single, small cat.
It's really messy. When I roll it, even though it is closed and locked properly, it gets litter all over. When the cat uses the box he kicks sand out all the time. There is a huge mess every time. I wish there was some kind of flap on the front to keep the sand from getting all over.
All in all, If I had it to do over, I wouldn't spend the money. It's a great idea. I don't think it needs to be so tall. It would be easier to handle if it weren't. I wish the screen was smaller so it would clean the sand better, and the doggy door kind of flap to keep the sand in the box better.
UPDATE: after a couple month of using this box, I've gone back to my standard cat box. This just doesn't clean the litter well enough, and it's so messy, It's just easier to do it manually.
