If you really think you need a huge litter box, this is for you; however-
I have 3 cats and a fairly small home, no upstairs or basement. It's basically a long ranch. We have tried 1 litter boxes at each end of the house but all 3 went in the same one and left the other alone. So, I wanted to find a big litter box, well I did and boy is it big. Initially I thought that it was a great idea, more room for each to do their business; however, when you have as big of a litter box as this you need a lot of litter to fill it up to the appropriate level. Now, most people with cats know that to keep the litter fairly fresh it should be cleaned daily if not immediately after use if possible. In addition, you should change out all the litter and clean the box with a cleaner at the most every 2 weeks, ideally every week. The problem is when this litter box gets filled up with litter, not to mention if there are other "things" in it, it becomes extremely heavy and very cumbersome to try and carry outside or to the garbage. Needless to say after a few times of doing this either in the snowy winter or hot, humid summer you don't look forward to this task (not that anyone does). If you start to slack and not clean out the box entirely it starts to smell bad even if you scoop it out and put fresh litter in. Also, invariably as the cats move the litter around some always winds up in the 2 side compartments, which are very difficult if not impossible to clean unless you can dump the whole thing over.

In my opinion, one is better off having 2 smaller litter boxes together rather than this huge one; they are much easier to keep clean and easier on your back.
