Product Description
The SmartScoop family of products was created to meet the challenge of litter box odor and mess. We knew there was a need for more effective litter and odor control products, so we designed innovative solutions to make your life easier. Now you can spend more time with your cat and less time with the box! It uses a single assembly motor unit and waste collector and has a heavy duty and easy-to-clean litter pan. It also has a smart sensor for triggered activation of cleaning cycle, with load and obstacle safety sensor – both in the forward and return direction making it easier to operate and maintain. It has a large usable litter area both modern and clean appearance and works with your favorite clumping litter. No need to buy costly, special litter.

SmartScoop Self-Scooping Litter Box Review
I think this is a great box! I have 7 cats so this is just one of many pans, but its nice to have one always clean for the pickier of my cats. Instead of wasting clean litter like littermaid, this rake scoops the clumps & dumps them into the bin instead of pushing it all, including clean litter into the bin. I just leave one of the liners in the bin & dump the bin every day or 2 & we’re good to go again! Similar to the littermaid, you have to be sure not to over fill the litter as it jams the rake up, but there are lines in the pan that make it clear where the litter level should be. One thing I thought might be a problem, the rake does not go all the way to the back of the pan, I thought my cats would pee thru the rake & the rake would be “stuck” in a litter clump. This has happened, but it doesn’t lock up the rake. When I see it, I just flip the rake up & scoop that particular clump. None of the automatic litter pans are totally maintenance free but again, its nice to have one pan thats generally clean all day long with out me scooping it 2-4 times a day!

I purchased the Smartscoop to replace my Littermaid. Out of the box, the smartscoop would not detect when my cat entered the litterbox. I called the company (Our Pets) and they sent me a new motor unit. I received it within a week. The customer service department was very nice and apologetic for my inconvenience. The new unit did detect my cat. As far as how well the Smartscoop works, well it does not scoop up nearly as much of the waste as the Littermaid. I did try bending the tines as suggested in a previous review. That definitely helped.

The reason I did not purchase another Littermaid was my cat would sometimes urinate over the back of the unit and this caused the unit to short out after about a year. Also, the Littermaid was difficult to disassemble and clean. I don’t have either of these problems with the Smartscoop, because all of the electrical components are outside the box and the Smartscoop disassembles in just a few minutes — everything but the motor unit can be submerged in water for thorough cleaning.
If the people at Our Pets would address the tines of the rake being too far apart, I would rate this product at 5 stars.
