Omega Paw Self-Cleaning Litter Box
They keep ****ing on the back inside. I didn't pay attention for
this, but I would bet that is the reason for a high percentage of the negative reviews. It probably can't be emphasized enough, it's at least 2 inches too short. I knew that from the beginning, before they ****ed on it. I'm sure some people will have luck with it, for whatever reason, maybe small cats. I'm not sure whether it's worth keeping. Not if I have to clean off the back inside every single time. My new build is going okay though, waiting for Amazon to ship some supplies. The design looks good, but you never know. |

Hi Buddy,
I plan to update this later... Thanks, http://www.quora.com/Steven-Mark-Olschwanger On Thursday, January 30, 2014 10:00:23 AM UTC+5:30, John Doe wrote: Looks interesting. Anybody have one? If I buy it, I will follow up to this with a short review. According to reviews I have read... The large is much better than the medium. One trick to using it is tipping it slowly so that the good litter has a chance to move through the filter instead of falling into the waste trap. It might be flimsy, and that might be a problem unless you enjoy working with plastic. Hopefully they use the same non-stick plastic as Sterilite storage boxes. |

They keep ****ing on the back inside.
Last time, instead of wiping, I just sprayed (not me, I mean with a spray cleaner) the backside. Since then, looks like they have been peeing down into the litter instead of on the backside. Doing okay now. The way to tell is by using a flashlight. When tilting the litter back into place, quite a bit of dust is generated as it moves back out of the filter area, but most of that dust stays inside of the box. Anyways... That will be it unless there are any more questions. |

Now I have two. Both modified. Packaging tape along the right side
seam. A wide plastic strip inside to help the clumps gently roll over the waste drawer instead of bouncing off of it. Put a glob of hot melt glue where the grating/filter meets the bottom so it can't pop out of its slots down there. Also... Most of the bottommost flimsy plastic strip should be cut away. Just leave at least 1/4" on each side of the three vertical posts. Don't cut it on the outside of the outer vertical posts where it's reasonably sturdy. The inner two flimsy strips are just in the way of the flowing litter, they are useless obstructions. Also... When handling the box, avoid grabbing it by the waste drawer entry point. That is a very weak point and it might easily break the thing. Another tip I think someone wrote... Tip it to the left a little bit first, before starting the process. Use a powerful standup flashlight to help you see what you're doing. And as everybody here knows, make sure there's plenty of litter in the thing. |

Been quite a while...
Working well. My modifications help a lot, but... The cats are getting used to them. They do not pee on the backside. They can go quite a bit without messing it up for such a small box. But of course it's best to rake/roll it frequently. Even more important is keeping as much litter as possible in the box, as much as you can without wasting litter. That does a lot to keep it clean. For example, it prevents clumps from sticking to the bottom. On a side note... I recently purchased another 160 pounds of litter shipped (USA) for a total of $64. Amazing IMO. |
