Catit Design SmartSift is an automatic cat litter box, sifting system that takes the chore out of litter maintenance. Simple yet innovative, SmartSift’s litter sifting design does the scooping for you, so you can say goodbye to your cat litter scooper. To refresh the self-cleaning cat litter box, all you have to do is pull the lever; it’s that simple! The lever activates an automated and noiseless pull-and-refresh process that quickly and efficiently refreshes the litter pan, while collecting waste in a bag. Clean litter is recycled back into the pan and waste clumps are deposited in a collection bin with cat litter liners for easy disposal. Replenishing the litter is also easy, simply open the maintenance access door on the cat litter box with lid and add as needed. SmartSift is a large cat litter box with a safe manual system, with no motorized pieces that can heat up or fail over time and no expensive electronic parts to replace. This feature is quiet and safe, making it very kitty friendly. SmartSift’s sealed design prevents tracking and controls dust, which helps keep your home cat litter dust free. Additionally, it comes with an integrated cat litter deodorizer carbon filter to absorb odors inside the pan. Features include: Safe and quiet process, a sealed cat litter enclosure design that minimizes tracking and provides privacy, integrated carbon filter cat litter pad that absorbs odors, a large swinging door that allows cats to enter and exit easily, clear-view access window that allows easy monitoring of litter, pullout waste bin collects waste clumps for easy disposal in cat litter bags, a maintenance access door that allows you to easily replenish litter, and includes one liner for the cat pan as well as one for the pullout waste bin.

Many choices for auto kitty boxes but this one is the one!
Okay, here we go – honest report for all you cat lovers. We got this unit a weeks back. We researched ALL the different ones out there, agonized over which one to decide to purchase and finally settled on this one. Other automatic units were higher priced, all having quite a maintenance expense whether the litter itself or other supplies, mechanical/electric components that could/would fail, mechanisms that would need maintenance fairly often. Not good! We decided to purchase this one because the price was right, not many moving parts to fail over the long run, could use the normal clumping litter, and bags if used seemed reasonably priced. So now we have used this for some weeks now and the evaluation is this: It is a rather large unit so be prepared for that. I sprayed the unit completely including sifting grill within the unit with “never wet” or whatever they call it from Rust-oleum which works like a charm. You can use bags on the upper section and lower drawer and once we have used it for awhile decided that we only needed the drawer bag. Doing that made it is so easy to clean up and we were willing to pay for them because of that and they are not that expensive if you buy them in bulk. You will not want to overfill with kitty litter but if you do, no harm since first time cleaning, the extra litter just gets dumped into the drawer and you learn your lesson. Always move the cleaning handle very slowly and you will have no issues. The only issue we ran into in dumping the waste into the bottom drawer was if the waste is a narrow strip, it sometimes sticks between the grill sifter vanes – don’t do anything, just let it sit there and it gets put back into the kitty litter after cleaning cycle. Most the time after a few cleanings, it gets dumped eventually anyhow. If you try to dislodge it (and if you don’t mess with it, it always returns to the recycled litter after cleaning cycle), sometimes you inadvertently push it into the holding bin for the litter during the cleaning cycle and that is a pain in the a** to clean. Just leave it to recycle and it eventually will get dumped into the waste drawer. We have two cats, one about 10LB and the other 18lbs. It is small for the big cat but the 10lb cat has plenty of space. We have not trained the cats to use the swinging door so we left it off. Your cat may be different. However, so easy to clean that most of the time we just walk by it and use the cleaning cycle since it is so easy and therefore smell is not any issue. The cats love the clean litter all the time, too. Both my cats are diggers so I have no issues with urine on the sides though I believe the “never wet” would take care of that pretty easily but can’t attest to leaking down in the unit of the urine since that doesn’t happen. The one issue I have found is after a while using the cleaning cycle multiple times and if the cats go in the same place all the time, the waste occasionally gets dumped in the drawer on top of each other and while there is space still left in the drawer, a hill forms that must be spread around to empty spaces in the drawer. I have a wooden stick basically next to the unit to push the waste to an empty spot in the drawer so I can finish the cleaning cycle. To me: Big Deal!! small price to pay for a unit that does what it is suppose to do, fairly inexpensive and supplies fairly inexpensive, very easy to clean using the drawer bag, cuts down on the smells, the cats love it, no electronic parts or motors to fail in the future, no special litter or hook up – What more could you ask for except having someone else to do it for you. Hope this helps you to make the decision. Durability is yet to be determined since we have had it only a few weeks but the only thing I could see going bad is the cleaning handle breaking and using it slowly (which you should do anyhow to clean properly) is going to take care of that possible issue as far as I am concerned

Horrible. I suggest you take your money elsewhere
This seemed like a great idea. I wanted to be able to quickly handle the litterbox and minimize my actual touching of used litter (because, be honest, that’s gross). Unfortunately, this litterbox was problematic from the start. First, is the size. I mean, it’s huge. Huge. I don’t know where a cat owner is expected to keep such a monstrosity but it won’t fit under the bathroom sink, or most anywhere else for that matter. Ok, so I have to have it in a closet that I now have to leave open all the time. If that was the only problem, I could have lived with it; but it wasn’t. I’m so sick of these products that you buy and then in order to keep using you have to buy more products (I’m talking about the liners). On top of that, these liners are crap. The litter gets caught in the folds when you rotate to sift, so how the hell is that supposed to work?? I had to be reaching in and shaking lose the litter; remember how I said I wanted to minimize my actual touching of the litter? Yeah, didn’t happen; instead I am touching it more directly than just with a scooper. So, I thought that maybe the think could work without the liner for the actual litterbox part. And it does; partially. The litter will be sifted and the poop will fall into the bottom. But the urine sticks to the litterbox, so you have to scoop it loose to get it to fall in the bottom. What’s the point of a litter sifting cat pan that still needs scooped? Again, possibly something I could work around, but now I’m getting frustrated. This is three strikes, but I’m gonna try anyway because the d*mn thing cost a good bit. So what was the last straw? When my cat, in distress, had to pee on the floor because the handle-hook that’s supposed to keep the litterbox locked in place had gotten loose during use so the litterbox swing up a bit during the last cat use, blocking the door, preventing the kitty from being able to get inside.Oh, and icing on the cake, the thing does nothing for odors. Nothing. Not a thing. There’s so much space between the sides of the clear flap and the wall that plenty of odor can get out. And if you’re thinking ‘I can sift the used litter into the bottom drawer and only change it every other day’ or anything along those lines; you’ll need a ton of febreeze or scented candles because that drawer has absolutely no odor stopping power at all.So I’ve detailed my experience. I have two kitties and they’re really great about switching to new types of litter boxes, never having mistakes on the floor. So when my kitty had to pee on the floor (happened while I was witness) and was in such distress about doing it, I was done with this thing when I realized it was because the litterbox essentially locked them out.

Parto col chiarire che é ingombrante e poco elegante, però utilizzando i dovuti accorgimenti il vaglio per lettura gatti funziona e é anche comodo e veloce.. ci sono degli accorgimenti da adottare però , 1: se utilizzi i sui sacchetti é meglio perché nel vassoio superiore si distaccano le “pepite di gatto” dal fondo praticamente da sole e resta tutto più pulito e nella raccolta sotto idem, volendo quando si cambiano i sacchetti mettendo un pó di nastro nelle pieghe sul fondo del sacchetto si evita che ci resti incastrata la lettiere in mezzo alle pieghe e si tribola e si sporca meno.2: utilizzare lettiere aglomerante io ne sto provando varie e qualcuna va bene e qualcuna no, riempire fino al segno che é al interno del vassoio anche qualcosina di più, con lettiera non aglomerante tanto vale usare una lettiera normale manuale.3: quando si aziona la leva muoverla a piccoli scatti avanti e indietro mentre si procede con il ribaltamento del vassoio, praticamente “setacciando” in modo che la lettiera vada a sparire completamente nel suo vano apposito e le pepite cadranno nel vano sottostante, tirando la leva e basta si fa cadere nel vano sottostante anche parte della lettera. Una volta fatto ruotare in senso opposto fino a fondo corsa e dare 2o 3 colpi a fondo corsa per fare fuoriuscire bene la lettore dal suo vano di raccolta, detto a parole sembra difficile, ma facendolo 1 volta é semplicissimo e super veloce e comodo..4: quando si cambia sacchetto o si lava il vassoio alto, controllare di aver chiuso nella giusta posizione il vano dove sparisce la lettiera buona, se no azionando la leva cadono dei granelli di lettiera anche fuori..Io sto usando questa lettiera vagliante ormai da mesi e mi trovo bene , ho tolto fin da subito la porticina trasparente davanti e francamente mi sono dimenticato di averla, anche perché essendo abbastanza chiuso già così non si sente quasi mai l’odore di bisogni di gatto tranne qualche raro caso in cui mi dimentico per 2 di giorni di tirare la leva o se la lettiera é poca o di scarsa qualità, in generale con lettura di buona qualità riusciamo a fare dalle 2 settimane a un mese prima di sostituirla senza problemi basta ricordarsi di aggiungerla tutte le volte o quasi tutte le volte che si tira la leva ( io aziono la leva una volta al giorno).e usiamo molta meno sabbietta a fine mese.In definitiva siamo contenti, finalmente abbiamo la casa che non odora di bisogni di gatto, in 2 secondi puliamo la lettiera senza dover scavarci in mezzo alla ricerca e non c’è più sabbietta attorno la lettiera. É vero sembra un ingombrante bidone della spazzatura in plasticaccia ma é comodissimo a un prezzo tutto sommato basso contando altri aggeggi automaci e no che chi sono in giro

Kum doldururken mazgalın içine sığacak kadar kum doldurursanız hem kum ziyan olmaz, hem de dibine çok yapışmaz. Normal kum kaplarında yaşanan sorunlara benzer sorunlar olabiliyor bazen ama genel olarak kolaylık sağlıyor.

Despues de darle muchas vueltas durante meses por que no sabia cual coger, si este, u otro que hay de otra marca (mas sencillo que este, ya que hay que volcar el arenero con la mano) y leer los comentarios de unos y otros… los negativos los vi muy muy negativos y me tiraba un poco para atras, y los positivos excesivamente positivos tambien jaja… me arriesgue, y sinceramente, llevo años limpiando la arena como un tonto, menudo invento, esto es lo mas comodo del mundo mundial, a ver no es perfecto, no es efectivo al 100% pero si al 90% y es mas que suficiente, me toca hacerlo con la palita al lado, por que?? por que a veces las heces son muy pequeñas y se cuelan en la rejilla, o se quedan enganchadas y con la palita pues se ayuda un poquito… pero de verdad que es un autentico invento. Si limpias a diario, con su arena aglomerante, y mueves la palanca muy despacito, incluso a veces para alante y para atras un par de veces… va fenomenal. Solo puedo recomendarlo al completamente si estas indeciso. Otra cosa, lei que los materiales eran malos y no se que cosas… a mi me han parecido materiales bastante decentes la verdad, no me parece plastico cutre ni nada del estilo, y el sistema es simple pero muy muy eficiente. Por cierto el cristalito de arriba me vino rajado ya, no he reclamado por que era una rajita de un par de centimetros y bueno… aguanta, pero he leido de mas gente que le ha pasado y deberian de controlarlo la verdad, espero que el gato que se sube por encima no lo raje un dia y la liemos, pero bueno. Por lo demas Genial. Por cierto las dos bolsas que vienen son para la parte de dentro que no lo especifican en ningun sitio y pensabamos que una era para dentro y otra para el cestillo, pues no, ambas son para dentro ya que es gruesilla y aguanta mejor los arañazos del Michi… para el cestillo en las tiendas Guaw hay unas bolsas con la medida perfecta para el cestillo, mirare el modelo y marca y lo pondre por aqui editandolo proximamente.Salu2.
