Product Description
Replacing the existing cartridge is easy. Just slide the sanitary cartridge into the Scoop Free Automatic Litter Box and reattach the waste cover. The Scoop Free Replacement Litter Cartridge absorbs odor and moisture on contact, and after your cat leaves the litter box, the ultra-quiet Scoop Free automatically rakes the waste into a covered trap, leaving the litter bed smelling clean and fresh. The Scoop Free Replacement Litter Cartridge uses disposable litter tray cartridges filled with Fresh Step® crystal litter, which stops odors significantly better than clay litter. Just change the disposable litter cartridge every 20 to 30 days (10 to 15 days for two cats) and toss the old cartridge away without seeing, touching, or smelling messy waste.

I have three cats. Two females, and a male. When I bought this unit and started using the cartridges, the oldest female was 13. There was an adopted male that was 1, and a female rescue cat (horribly set upon by mange and god knows what else during the three months she spent in the alley before we rescued her), who was also about 1.
I was concerned that the alley cat would have issues adapting to a new box. She did not - even though she absolutely *hated* the male cat and did whatever she could to avoid him. But she used the same litter box that he did. Almost two years later, she still hisses at the male cat and acts tough with him (he still thinks she's playing, the dork; he has no idea that she wants him roasting over a firepit like a stuck pig and considers his attempts to play an act of war), but she still shares the same litter box.
This was a godsend. If you have problems with the litter or the unit, be sure to call the company first before abandoning it. I noticed one reviewer here who did that, and the solution to their problem was very simple and quick.
EDIT 9/29: The price for this item continues to climb. For a while it was around $70, then $80, now it's nearly $100. This system is becoming more and more popular, so it would stand to reason that the price should be dropping. Go figure.
Best system I've ever used November 15, 2007

This product is the best litter system I've ever used. But you don't have to buy these cardboard cartridges. Go to e-bay and look for "forever cartridges" there's a guy that makes these out of pvc and you can buy the crystal litter to fill them. It costs me about 1/2 as opposed to buying the scoop free cartridges.

I love this product and litter system. Originally purchased the system on QVC but buy my cartridges on Amazon because it's cheaper (plus free shipping if you've signed up and this stuff is heavy). I have one cat - a Cornish Rex - who is very, very fussy where she goes. With regular litter boxes, she'd leave a mess if not scooped every day by backing up to hang over the box. Yulk. This system is perfect for her and me. I don't scoop and it lasts the entire month. Around the 20th day, I take a scooper and remix the litter pellets in the main area (not under the lid). Then, you have the fresh smell until day 31. Whoever invented this system was a genius.

We adore our ScoopFree Self-Cleaning Litter Box - our only point of contention is buying these refills. Yes, the refills work fine. We love the whole concept of this system, the crystals are awesome at absorbing the odor, the tines never clump. However, it is pricey to buy in essence a cardboard box with some crystals in it for this much money. So we experimented and found a solution.
Instead, we take their cardboard box and spray it with a regular spray lacquer like you find at any Michael's store - a few coats. That makes it waterproof. Then we buy standard crystals at a WalMart. We get a ton of uses out of it, and just wash the box itself out every few weeks. We have two cats - one an 18 pounder, so rather large. He doesn't have any issues at all with this. I'll note that he doesn't have his front claws, but our smaller cat (8 pounds or so) is fully clawed and hasn't had any issues with this either. No "claws through the cardboard" or anything. I imagine if you had some sort of tear-happy kitty you could reinforce the bottom with a sheet of plexiglass very easily, which would be quite washable and durable too.
For us, however, that wasn't necessary. Yes we might have to buy one of these every number of months to get a fresh, clean box to start with, but other than that you can certainly "create your own" without having to buy their units.
I'm not sure how to rate the unit then. I'll give it a 5/5 because it is an awesome idea and you should get one or two to start with. However, keep in mind that you don't need to keep buying them if you don't want to - it's just as easy to make your own once you understand how they work.

I have 2 cats ages 6 & 7 years old. I bought the Scoop Free Litter Box after reading several reviews. I was getting tired of emptying the litter box every day and felt I could not leave on trips unless I had someone to come in and change the litter box. This is one of the best things I have every bought. My female cat took to the box right away but my male cat took almost 2 weeks. It will last a good 10-12 days and if you stir the litter around some can get 14 days out of it. It so easy to forget that you even have a litter box in the house. To me it's very quiet and the cats have gotten use to the noise when it cleans. The area inside the box is fairly small compared to the larger litter box I had but the cats have gotten use to it. I do not recommend the hood because it makes it harder for the larger cats to move around.
