Does anyone have a self cleaning litter box they like, that works well and doesn't require expensive inserts etc? It would be for 2 cats. Would love to find a self cleaning alternative to current box but all seem to have very mixed reviews. Thanks

I used to have a Littermaid and LOVED it. We had it when we had two cats, who took to it right away. There's a timed motion detector on the rake, so it doesn't begin until well after the cat has used it. To save some money, I would dump out the scooped litter from the plastic inserts and reuse them a few times. Then we got a third cat, who pees like a race horse. HUGE clumps of litter that eventually burned out the motor. I'm now down to only one cat (the race horse peeing one) but haven't gotten a new Littermaid, only because there's no place to put it in this house. It is rather bulky and takes up more space than a typical litter box, and both bathrooms are on the small side. It also has to have an electrical outlet closeby. It can run on batteries, but I don't want to go that route.
