Questions & Answers
If "clean" litter remains in the removal tray after slowly turning, double-check that the grate is in place between the two slots. If the grate isn't properly seated between the slots, it will flip over, allowing "clean" litter to enter the collection tray.
My problem is similar to yours. It's possible that the sliding latches aren't fully locked or are loose. It's possible that the screen has popped free from the track. The part of the screen that bends over and fits into the box's bottom is most likely out of alignment. My only solution is to focus on the outcome rather than the issue. I bought a small rug the size of a welcome mat (cheap at Walmart) and placed the box on top of it. When I roll it, I roll it on the rug. It makes cleaning up a lot easier. It's as simple as shaking the litter off the rug outside; it's not the best solution, but it's the only option. The truth is that this system is a fantastic concept that has been executed horribly. They need to secure the flap on the screen that prevents the litter from spilling out, as well as find a way to prevent the screen from popping out of its track and the sliding latches from becoming loose. Then it has a chance of succeeding.
Because it's impossible to put a liner all the way around, I believe you have to clean the entire box every now and then, but you only have to empty the clumps compartment when scooping. If you do decide to buy it, I would suggest painting the walls with a non-toxic paint. To prevent clumps from sticking, spray with cooking spray. ) Note: I returned mine because litter fell out as I rolled it, but I know others who enjoy it without this problem.
The Omega Paw self-cleaning system is what I use. It works as advertised when it comes to cleaning the litter box. The only flaw I found was that the front latch was a little off, so I had to open it up a little to fix the issue. It is a big hit with my cats.
Selected User Reviews For Omega Paw Self-Cleaning Litter Box
Because I adored this product, I wrote a lengthy review for it that spanned several years. I have two of these in my house, and no one can tell I have two cats because I use clumping litter. I've had my boxes for about 5 years, and I've noticed that the clumping stuff has started to stick to the bottom and I've had to scrape it off. With my background in industrial chemistry, I took the boxes outside and cleaned them so thoroughly that you could eat out of them (but I won't!). Then I spritzed a solution of liquid fabric softener and water all over the interior and exterior of the boxes, including the drawer, and let them bake in the sun for a day (before it got cold). I polished them with a clean rag until the plastic regained its lustre and the softener residue had vanished. This appeared to be the case. The next time I scooped the poop (or, to be more precise, "rolled the poop"), the clumps came out with FLAT bottoms (i. e. , nothing stuck to the bottom). So far, everything seems to be going swimmingly. We're in the middle of winter, and my trash cans are still emptying as quickly as they were before I treated them with the water softener. br>br>I also recently purchased a new one for my son's new kitten. These items are absolutely incredible. Because I've read complaints about the latches breaking, I've always treated them with care. But if they ever break, you can bet I'll figure out a new way to connect the top and bottom, because I've used a lot of cat boxes over the years and none of them have lasted more than five years or been easier to clean. br>br>There's one more thing I'd like to mention for anyone who uses a litter box of any kind. It requires your attention. If not daily, then every other day, depending on the number of cats you have; I recommend at least one box per cat. Except for the self-cleaning boxes (which, according to what I've read, have some pretty bad results and cost a lot of money), no box will clean itself. Most people I know hide their cat's litter box in the basement or somewhere else out of sight (and mind), leaving the poor cat to find a small space to poop or pee in unless they're super motivated. The cat will eventually find another location to relieve himself (perhaps in a favorite armchair or bed?). ) and then they have the audacity to point the finger at the cat! br>br>Cats are naturally clean animals who despise having to use the bathroom, but what can they do? You wouldn't want to walk through a field of your own feces and urine every time you needed to use the restroom, would you? So, what makes you think your cat would prefer it over you? Please keep your box clean, no matter which one you choose. Put it in a place where you will see it every day (like your bathroom). You'll be more motivated to keep it clean as a result of this. This product, on the other hand, is an excellent box for any cat.
Today I'm going to order my second one. I bought my first Omega- 3 fatty acid supplement. Here's an Amazon listing from 2010 for a paw litter box. One of the plastic locks that holds the lid to the box broke about four months ago. That part was duct taped on the spur of the moment. Then, not long ago, another lock malfunctioned. As a result, I'll have to "break" down and purchase a new one. It has, on the other hand, reportedly withstood the daily use of four felines for seven years. in addition to the three It gets rolled back and forth four times a day to be emptied of waste, and I can't complain about a product that lasts this long for such a low price. Today's price is $00 higher than it was in 2010. So- Omega, well done. I'm a satisfied customer, paw.
If you buy it, skip the cheap plastic clips on the sides. You'll only be able to use this litterbox if you duct tape it shut. It's incredibly simple to clean and refill this type of container, especially if you have the large version. Simply tip it backwards and fill it with litter. br>br>At first, it was leaking profusely, and I was afraid of tipping it. It'd be such a mess that I'd have to vacuum it up, and it wouldn't save me any time. After using it one day, I attempted to duct tape it shut, but clumps of litter prevented me from doing so completely. As a result, I completely cleaned it and re-installed it. I taped it and it works like a charm. The duct tape headache is completely worth it. Cleaning the litterbox takes less than a minute, possibly two if there are any dried clumps that can be knocked off with a good, sturdy whack. br>br>I saw a lot of positive and negative reviews based on the quality of the model people received, and I was worried I'd get one of the "bad" models people were complaining about, but even if I did, it's still worth it. The design is flawless; all that remains is for the manufacturer to improve their execution. And with a little duct tape, it's easy to perfect at home! I am very pleased. br>br>Absolutely worth the money.
The Omega Paw Self-Cleaning Litter Box is an excellent concept: self-contained, simple to use, reduced odor, and minimal mess and fuss, and it actually works that way for the first few months, which is fantastic. The flaws become more apparent after that. br>br> The clips that hold the product together are prone to breakage, both because they are plastic and because of the daily rolling action. br>br>The primary one is that the clips that hold the product together are prone to breakage. Furthermore, you must frequently slap the bottom of the box to dislodge clumped litter, which is ineffective. The product is jeopardized if even one of the clips breaks. Kitty litter spills out of the now-open seam. br>br>One reviewer mentioned that replacement clips can be obtained by contacting customer service. I've tried that route five times and each time I've failed. The inner screen that separates the litter from the droppings is made of plastic and is prone to tearing from the constant pressure of wet kitty litter and other materials against it. Contacting customer service for a replacement was unsuccessful once more. I was unable to locate any replacement parts information on the Omega Paw website. br>br>The next topic is how the cats use the litter box. We are a trio of felines. The female is smaller and more at ease going inside, whereas the male has two options. One option is to stand in front of the door and pee on the floor. The other option is to stand inside the box and pee against the entryway side, which will quickly clog up this area. In fact, after a certain point, we have to dig that area out manually, defeating the purpose of having this product in the first place, because rolling the product no longer dislodges the clumps. Finally, the item occupies a significant amount of space. It's not immediately obvious from looking at the product, but it requires a "runway" to roll the product back and forth in order for it to work. You won't be able to put it under a counter or anything like that. TL; TL; TL; TL; TL; TL; TL; TL; TL; TL Excellent concept, poor execution, and unsatisfactory customer service.
