I just wish they would make these kinds of products for bigger cats. My cat weighs 30lbs and would NEVER be able to use this. I had another self cleaning box when he was a kitten and when he got bigger he outgrew it. He also learned to use the actual toilet until he got too big for that, too. Currently, my kitty litter consists of a big plastic bin inside a raised box I built myself out of MDF with an entrance on one side. If they made an EXTRA LARGE version for really big cats I'd probably buy it.

OMG. i love this new cat genie. brilliant, just brilliant. worth every penny. now i don't have any embarassing cat litter boxes when guests visit. i hate dog poop and don't understand how dog owners deal with it. this new invention seperates me from dealing with my cat poop. p.s. at least a cat is smart enough to use a box and cover it up. just go buy a cat genie and be happy.

"I just wish they would make these kinds of products for bigger cats. My cat weighs 30lbs and would NEVER be able to use this." -- I have two Maine Coons, one a 20 pounder and the second one between 25 and 30 pounds, he's huge! I bought the Cat Genie (I have 5 cats) and I love it! The first one to jump in it, without any hesitation was the heavier of my cats. It is great to go to bed without any litter residues all over the place (they ALL sleep with me); it's a wonderful product, big enough for the Gardfield in your family. Go ahead and buy it, you wont regret it, after all you have 90 days to return it if it doesn't work out for you. I truly recommended, the best money I have ever spend.

30 min for a cat box to clean?! Water and cats do not mix, I have 3 cats if this cleans everytime a cat goes in the box...it would be spending half the day filled with water. And my cats would not go into it.
I'll stick with my Litter maid.

I have two levels in my house and three cats. We bought the cat genie and put it on the main level. We\'ve always had a regular litter box on both floors, so it turned out to be a MUST to buy a second cat genie. We set up each box to run twice a day, not at the same time of course, but alternate the scheduled cleanings so there is always a clean dry box for them to use. This is NOT like the litter maid, it doesn\'t run every time your cat uses it. i had the litter maid, not much different than scooping yourself, because you still have the nasty clay litter and the stink that inevitably eminates from the resevoir its dumped into. This gadget is to spoil the owner, not the cats. Though it is nice for them to always have a clean, non clay litter place to go. WORTH EVERY PENNY!!!!

@K.L.: Its not filled with water, it dries the litter itself after its done with cleaning!!

I liked that very much, I hope to buy one when my finances get better.

How does this hook up to the waterline? The water line is already going to my toilet...

Omg...COOL!! I wish my cat could have that, she would love to have that in our house hold. But really, cats are spoiled way to much, but i'm sure i can make an exception it there is no scooping involved...

@Cat Owner: It comes with a T-connector to put on your toilet or washing machine water line. All the information is on their website. http://www.catgenie.com/ (see http://www.catgenie.com/about-catgenie/1-how-it-works/)

Keep in mind it uses a proprietary cleaning solution cartridge, and while the litter does not require changing it does have to be topped up every so often (you'll see in the video, some of the litter is lost with the solid waste). The Cat Genie site sells a 6 month refill kit (litter + solution) for around $60. At $10/mo it's comparable to maintaining a normal automatic litter box, but the refill isn't something you can get at the local Wal-Mart/Target/Whatever (yet). I would like to see an "open source" version which uses readily available refill materials.

The Cat Genie is really great; works as advertised. One of our two cats will not pee in it (uses a rug nearby) but otherwise he uses it. The only major problem we have is that it really stinks when it is drying! For some reason when it cleans several solids are broken up and remain in the bowl, when the drying starts they are "toasted" and REALLY stink. Any others have that problem?

This doesn't spoil your cat, it spoils the human. I purchased one for my cats and have had only one issue and tech support straightened that out right away. My cats love it and so do I, just picked up another. What a great product. I also recomend the cat genie dome, it helps keep the granules in the pan.

PLEASE people......learn to spell!!!!! An intelligent comment still sounds STOOPID when it\'s written as if a preschooler did it!!!

It looks like the Cat Genie is an amazing product. I really want to get one for my two cats!! I have one cat who is about 18-20 lbs. and the other one is like thirteen lbs. Would the Genie be big enough for my bigger cat? If so I would totally buy, after the cost goes down, hopefully. I will be saving my money for sure! If anyone knows where to get one considerably cheaper than the website or Petco, please let me know!! Thanks!!

Hey,
I have 4 cats. I have purchased many electric litter boxes including Litter Maid. My cats end up killing the boxes within a year. The ad said that 3 average cats (what are they calling average?? one of my cats is a big 19lb. blue point Hemilian) I am seriously considering this....could I get away with one, or should i buy two??

Love to know if there is somewhere to get this thing a bit cheaper. It's just what I've been looking for and my Jasper would probably love it too. Sometimes I travel and this would work perfect, I wouldn't have to have someone else come and clean the darned cat box. My daughter saw this on an infomercial and I HAD to look it up, she's the one stuck cleaning when I'm gone.
