  • Exact same situation here, two 3rd gens.

    We did the same type of research you did OP, and honestly you have three options:

    • get a low cost ‘automatic rake’ box, which will break in a month if your pet has a bad day on the potty. Or worse, everything will get stuck to the rake and it’ll be worse to clean than scooping the box.

    • you go with something proprietary like the crystal litter solutions.

    • or you get an expensive box like the litter machine.

    Its certainly unfortunate that there aren’t better options for cheaper, but I do think that it’s the right choice in most cases. I have 4 cats and 2 litter boxes, and I empty them about once a week with a deep clean every 3 months or so. We do have one non automated box because sometimes they prefer that, but overwhelmingly they prefer the litter machines.
