Theee woooesss of the SCLB!!!!!

I soooo need to vent about my self cleaning litter box!!!

http://www.walmart.com/catalog/produ...uct_id=3635188

I bought this thing hoping it would work out for us...

But it's not what I thought it would be...

The problem is this:

My girls don't have the put together poop most of the time it's pretty wet, and so it sticks, and it sticks to those forks all the time..

There isn't a cover, so they throw it everywhere.

the poop container fills up way to quick and when you take it out,, the poop flicks up at you.. Several times hitting my lips,, thank god it didn't get in my mouth.. gross

I spend more time cleaning this box then I did cleaning their litter boxes by hand..

Uggghhh, isn't there a better thing for self cleaning litter boxes????

I'm glad I have the ordinary box you scoop yourself. I've seen the self-scooping ones many times at yard sales....lol

i had the same experience with a self cleaning box and so I sterilized it and gave it to a friend. I thought it was completely horrid. euwwwww

SO the self cleaning boxes aren't soo good then???

I was hoping I just bought a really cheap piece of junk.... It must just be the self cleaning boxes then?????

They work for some people but not for others. I will stick to scooping by hand.

I think they are way more trouble than their worth.

We actully were talking about getting at least one self cleaning box just to try it out.
After reading this thread I think we'll just keep hand scooping.

My Litter Robot www.litter-robot.com was pricey but works flawlessly. I will NEVER go back to the scoop.

I've heard nothing but troubles with them too.
I'm just going to stick to our Rubbermaid Totes Those work wonders!

Some people swear by the self cleaning ones and others I've heard have no use for them. Sounds like maybe it's just not the right litter box for your babies?
