I would like to post an update to this thread now that I am the proud owner of a "Scoop Free" automatic litter box. I am very happy with it. I only have one cat (who does seem to poop a lot) but I cannot smell it at all. And when I do smell it, I know that it is time to change the cartridge because a couple pieces may be left out of the trap.
As far as noise goes, I am also very happy with it. The box is in my basement, but that is also wear my bedroom is. I can hear it when I am falling asleep, but am happy to say that it doesn't wake me up. (I stayed with a friend who had a littermaid in the room where I was staying and it woke me up about 5 times in a night. haha).
The price of the box was definately not bad and the cartridges are a little pricey about $18 each. However, I have found that if the poop-trap is full with in a couple weeks I can just lift it up and scoop out the leavings and put it back. This may defeat the no-scooping quality a little, but let me tell you, it takes about 3 minutes because they are all in the same place which sure beats the longer time it took to "fish through" regular litter and urine clumps. also, it's the smell that is more important to me, or rather the lack of one.
Lastly my cat used it the first day it was out and she deffinately preferred that to her other one (i put them both out to get her accustomed) since it was always clean.
So over all i'd recommend this box to anyone who has one or two cats. the lack of odor, efficient cleaning and little noise makes the higher price of the cartridges worth it!!
