Cat Litter Crystals: CatGenie-Self Washing, Self Flushing Cat Box Review

Average Reviews:
3.4 out of 5 stars

(More customer reviews)I have two cats, one 5yo and one 2yo, both female.I got the Cat Genie for them, after dealing with several other auto-scooping litter boxes that broke after maybe 6 months each.

In terms of cleanliness and maintenance, this is a great product.If you can put it in your laundry room, you'll be much happier than if you put it into a bathroom that sees any kind of frequent use.If you DO put it into a bathroom, make sure you flush the toilet at least once a day (but NOT while the cat genie is in a cleaning cycle!)

Some words of warning:
1) the little plastic pellets that act as "litter" get all over the floor. You'll have to sweep them up occasionally and dump them back into the bowl for cleaning.This isn't from the cats kicking them up, it's from the normal cleaning cycle ... there's a mechanism to shake the rake free of pellets, which causes some to scatter.

2) Be prepared for a long adjustment period with your cats. The 2yo took to it pretty well, but the older cat had a hard time. She used a laundry basket, a bathroom rug, and my bed before she finally came to grips with it and started using the genie. (Laundry hint: white vinegar in the washer gets out the smell of cat urine!)

Now that the cats have adjusted and I've gotten used to the new sounds and smells of cleaning (the cleaning solution has a potent but not terrible smell), I'm happy with this product.

Product Description:
Never scoop, touch, buy, or change cat litter again with this unique self-flushing, self-washing cat box. Instead of traditional litter, it uses permanent washable granules that never require changing, yet satisfy a cat's need to dig and cover. Liquids drain through the granules and solid waste gets scooped and liquefied, then both are flushed with fresh water down the drain. Touch a button or pre-set the timer to start the wash cycle. Using water and veterinarian-approved SaniSolution, the unit scours and sanitizes the granules and cat-box interior to eliminate germs and odors. Its built-in dryer completes the cycle by blowing hot air over the granules to dry them. The unit acts like a cat box, washes and dries like an appliance, and flushes waste out of the home like a toilet.
Ideal for homes with two to three cats over six months old, the cat box sets up easily and maintains itself. Simply establish a one-time DIY connection to a cold-water supply line from a sink, toilet, or laundry; place the drain hose over a toilet rim or into a laundry drain; then plug the unit in. The automatic cat box leaves the pet's bathroom area dust-, odor-, and germ-free. Accessories include hardware for one-time hookup to a water supply, two boxes of washable granules, two SaniSolution cartridges, and instructions. With the same footprint as most large litter boxes, the automatic cat box measures 24 by 19 by 21 inches and carries a two-year limited warranty.
