Terrible
Date: December 15, 2008
"I have had my cat genie now for approx 5 months. At first it ran OK, I finally got my cats use to using it, but than the trouble started. The smell during the drying stage is really, really bad, so I decided to start scooping the solids out of the cat genie( a little self defeating, I guess), but that did help alot!! But I was also getting alot of the granules in the unit itself, so the company sent some plastic rings to put in the bottom of the bowl, also that did help. I had problems with the sani salution, I now know the trick of installing that. I was told to take a nail file and gently file the gold tag on the sani box. OK, did that. Now, the heating unit is not working and I have to call again. So all I have now is wet granules. I have not moved the box around, I have it on auto timer for twice a day, so the unit is not getting abused in any way, it is not ready to be marketed yet, too many problems. Cleaning the unit is absolutly disgusting! When you are first using it, it is nice and clean, but give it several weeks, when you go to take it apart and clean it, I was gagging, it was really really disgusting. So, I am not sure if the lastest problem can be fixed or not, but I may well go back to the old cat box for a while, it is simpler, and quite frankly, easier to clean. With taking the solids out of the cat genie already, all I have to do to clean the old cat box is throw out the old litter, wash out the box and refill with fresh litter, beleive me, it is not nearly as gross as cleaning the cat genie. Customer service with this company is very good, they are very helpful and very nice. Great concept, but not there yet. I may look at another one several years down the road, but there would have to be some major improvements before I bought one again, and the price is very , very steep."

Only litter appliance with no litterbox smell
Date: July 7, 2008
"Not perfect and has a learning curve for you and your cats. However, once everyone gets the hang of it there is no litterbox smell in your house. Customer service/technical support is phenomenal. I have had to call, but when I do the problem is solved and they are most patient."

The best litter box
Date: July 7, 2008
"After the installation (Less than 45 min) everything has changed, our life (my self, my wife, our unborn child and My cat) now is better, almost perfect. No more smell, no more clean up every weekend, no more buy litter every month, no more check the paws of my litlle friend (My cat...). I bought extra granules, extra sanisolution (enough for 365 days) and the dome. I have to say thank you to the people who develop this kind of litter box tecnology, it is like a human toillet but in cat version. Thanks. I recomend Cat Genie"

Hard time with old plumbing
Date: July 1, 2008
"My only complaint is that it was really hard to hook up if you have old plumbing like in my apartment. It required many trips to the plumbing store to try and find the right adaptors. Now that it is up and running I love it! I would recommend the dome though.. my cats think the cleaning cycle is a really fun game and I have had a lot of washable granules on the floor."

Best Cat Box Ever
Date: May 8, 2008
"We were a little hesitant to pay that much for a cat box at first. It turned out to be the best investment we've made regarding our cat. It works like a charm, the cat loves using it, there is little mess, no odor, and it's fantastic. It does tend to run for quite awhile while it cleans, but that isn't a big deal at all. You have to change the cartridge about once a month and that's just about all the work that you have to do with this box. I love it. I wouldn't buy anything else."

this thing is awesome
Date: April 27, 2008
"We decided to spend this much money on a litter box because we are selling our house, and needed absolute freshness. With 3 cats (and dogs and kids), getting to the litter box 3 times a day was too difficult. I can't believe after a month the catgenie is still working wonderfully, and my sister (our "helpful" critic) can't smell cats in the house at all. It did take one of our cats nearly 3 weeks to get used to it, but the other 2 were using it exclusively within days. It took me about 15 minutes to set up (with the help of my 3 year old). we did close the door to the bathroom during operation for about 2 weeks, we didn't want the cats to freak out about the noise it makes. We decided to use the toilet instead of the laundry because the reviews that experienced difficulty seemed to be using the laundry drain. We also have to keep the toilet seat up during the drain cycle, otherwise we do get a back-up in the catgenie."

life saver!!!
Date: April 11, 2008
"i absolutely love my catgenie. someone sent in a review about the horrible smell when the catgenie gets to the drying stage and i completely agree with that person. it does have that smell, but ONLY when pieces of feces are missed. to prevent that smell, just simply scoop up the little pieces that get left behind, before the rinsing stage, and your problem is solved. you might think that it defeats the whole purpose of the catgenie, but would you rather do that or go back to buying litter all the time and having to dispose of it yourself?"

Love It!
Date: April 6, 2008
"We love our CatGenie. Set up was very easy when the instructions are followed. I had no problems connecting the hoses. It took our cats about a week to get totally use to it but now they use it all the time. Our kitten loves it when it runs. We have the unit with the dome lid which helps keep the noise down a lot when it is cleaning. It can be an embarrassment to have someone use the toilet after if has ran if someone isn't there to flush it right away."

Needs Work
Date: March 4, 2008
"This is great idea, but it needs a lot of work. I would run the cycle 2-3 times then it would clog, you have to completley take it apart to clean it out, so you are cleaning watered down stool much worse than a regular litter box."

Terrific Purchase
Date: February 23, 2008
"The CatGenie was accepted right away by my two boys (adult male and my kitten who is one month shy of his first birthday). They were initially a little scared by the noises the CatGenie made during it's cycle but I just stood by assuring them, now they don't care at all. It would be best to run the CatGenie twice a day with my two cats, however when I can only run it once due to working long, I monitor for the first few minutes. If all of the stool is not scooped, I assist by using a pair of tongs to remove any pieces left behind, placing them into the shoot. The cleaner has a scent that I apparently am allergic to, so when I called the company, they assured me they have cleaners that do not contain the scents -- thank goodness. I live where water is scarce so I was concerned about the 5 gal. the unit uses with each cycle, however I believe that the savings by not adding to the landfill helps along with not performing the regular washing of the original litterbox."

Good Luck Getting Your Cat to Use It
Date: January 28, 2008
"I thought I had finally found it - the cat box that would end my days cleaning out cat urine and well, you know and all I had to do was then enjoy my cat. I was wrong. Set up was not the easiest, had to call the company who was great and took the time to walk me through - even called me back to make sure things were okay. My one cat would urinate in it, but refused to do anything else and my other cat was scared to death of the CatGenie because of the sound. The machine itself is wonderful - cleans, sanitizes and smells very nice. But you still get the granules all over the floor when your cat leaves the box. Back to the store this thing went, the manager said he sees several come back per week. It has the right idea, just needs some fine tuning."

Great Item
Date: January 20, 2008
"I bought my cat genie back in July 2007. I have five cats, and a not so spacious apartment. I use the laundry hook-up and it works wonderfully. Although I do wish they made a mat that fit around the front to catch the scattered litter. I hate stepping on that stuff! My cats all took to it. The youngest two find great fascination with it and watch it every time it runs."

This Is The Way To Clean A Cat Box
Date: January 7, 2008
"Press a button, wait, flush a toilet. Done. It has an automatic feature if you need an even easier method. You still have to flush a toilet. I clean mine while walking the dog. This is the only litter box that lets you multitask. (Now if they can come up with automatic dog pick up.)
My two cats took to it with no problems after the stink box was gone. (Looks like litter, feels like litter, must be litter box.)
Product delivery was lightening fast.
My cat owning neighbors are envious."

"Best purchase ever!! I am on chemo and not allowed to touch used cat litter. We have 4 cats and they love this unit. We are going to buy a 2nd one so there is enough flow for 4. This is a great addition for anyone with inside cats. MB, Saint Augustine, Fl."

Gr8 Idea, Kitties H8D It
Date: November 8, 2007
"This is a wonderful idea and would work great, if only my boys weren't so picky. Of my 4 boys, only would use it on very rare occasion. However, he would use it once and would not consider using again until it was cleaned. And speaking of cleaning... the cycle does take a long time, and it was VERY loud. Some else had stated that it's about as loud as a dishwasher... that is a gross understatement. Maybe if it's a 20-yr old dishwasher!
The CatGenie is a very innovative idea, and I would recommend it others only if they do not have finicky kitties."
