very happy with this cat genie!
For a year now I have used a littermaid for my 3 cats. It worked well but it can not be - set it and forget it. With the cats once a day the bin had to be emptied.
I decided to get the car genie as the second litter box. It's working out great!
2 cats are using it and 1 still uses the littermaid some times.
It's a great backup for when the car genie is cleaning it self.
It's so nice to only have to keep an eye on the cat genie and flush the toilet after a cleaning cycle. It works really good.
I have it set on cat activate. When some litter gets on the floor, I sweep it up so it doesn't get all around the house. Truth is, all litter tracks through the house.
I have not had the baked cat poop smell. The fresh scent was strong at first, now it's much better. On cat activate it uses half as much each cleaning cycle.
As good as the cat genie is, I still wouldn't set it and forget it. All litter boxes need attention, this one just needs much less then others.
Update*
The cat genie malfunctioned, turned into an easy bake oven and I got the baked cat poop. 🙀
Heres why it happened:
On Cat activate setting, complete both steps. If only 1 step is completed the Catgenie will go through the wash cycle in 22 minutes. It needs the full 37 mins each time to clean out the poo from the pump. After a few days the pump will start to fill with waste and begin to clog. Causing the baked cat poop smell during the dry cycle.
How to fix this:
Go to page 17 in the manual. Follow all the steps. Turned off Catgenie before Step G started pump. I revomoved the litter and added 16 cups of water to the bowl. Started step 3. Stopped 5 seconds after some sanisolution went in drain pump. Then let the Catgenie sit for 20 min's to desolve waste in pump.
Turned on Catgenie. Completed step G. Re-added the litter granules to the bowl and then Completed step H. All is good again! 😼🌠🐾
