- How often do I need to empty the waste drawer?
- With one cat it typically lasts about a week; two cats fill it faster. Empty and rinse the drawer before odor builds, and check the rake for stuck clumps.
- What litter works best in it?
- Standard clumping clay litter works best because the rake needs firm clumps to push out. Avoid crystal, pellet or non-clumping litter, which the mechanism cannot handle.
- Will it fit a large cat?
- The hooded body is sized for large cats, and most owners of big breeds report enough room to turn around. Very tall or long cats may still look cramped.
- Is it hard to clean?
- No. The hood and drawer come off for rinsing, and the smooth plastic wipes down easily. The rake and corners need a brush now and then.
- How does it compare with a manual hooded box?
- It saves daily scooping and contains odor similarly, but adds a motor, a rake and more parts to clean. A manual box is simpler and has nothing to jam.
- Does it need to be plugged in?
- Yes, it runs on mains power, so place it near an outlet. Keep the cord away from where cats can chew it.
- Where is the Biwave Automatic Self Cleaning Cat Litter Box Large Grey cheapest?
- At Newegg, for $69.96, as of our latest check.
