I got my Litter Robot about three weeks ago July 2003. I have two cats and use to use the Litter Maid. One cat is scared of it and the other cat is using it with no problem. I'm now trying to coax the scared cat in the box with food, which is working. He will stick his head in and eat a treat. I hope he decides on his own this is not a scary place and will use it soon.
I love the way it works, so much better then the Litter Maid. When you first get yours you will find yourself watching the cleaning cycle because it's so cool how it separates your cats business from the clean litter. I love that the draw that collects the cats droppings, is more sealed and bigger then the Litter Maid. I have to say you should every day open the draw and shuffle the clumps of litter or I find they pile up on top of each other thus making a mess when you open the draw. I love that there's more room in the draw. So you can keep a roll of bags (I would use the 8 oz ones) . You can even keep a small air fresher in there too.
If you are someone who uses just the clay clumping litter, I would get the small screen when ordering. I wasn't sure how that made a difference but now I can see it will separate the smallest of clumps from returning back to the clean litter.
