[quote=karenmh33]I use the pet store brand of crystals litter (PetSmart, Petco) in a ScoopFree automatic litter box system. I have used the system for about 3 years now and I absolutely LOVE IT. I used the traditional clay clumping litter for 13 years prior. The automatic unit is pricey ($130-$170), but completely worth it in my opinion. I have tried other automatic systems over the years and have quickly returned every single one of them. I am truly happy with this system and I save money and time with the methods I use.

The ScoopFree system is designed to be used with disposable litter trays that are pre-filled with the proper type and amount of litter (must be crystals). The trays from ScoopFree are about $50 for 3. One tray is supposed to last about 3-4 weeks with one cat and about 1-2 weeks with two or more cats (of course that can vary). There are discounts for automatic delivery of the trays from the company. There are also off-brands of similar trays that are less expensive, but still pricey.

The disposable tray system is ideal for those who simply hate dealing with the litter box at all. I would love to go this route, but simply cannot justify spending so much on disposable trays. Instead, I do the dirty work to spend less. I found a permanent tray system online for less than $30 that completely replaces the disposable trays (not recommended by ScoopFree, of course). I place the same amount of store brand litter crystals as the disposable trays and get 2-3 stink-free weeks out of one litter change (1 adult cat). I hate cleaning the litter box at the end of those 2-3 weeks (the bottom layer is pretty nasty by that time), but it's far less work than I used to do with the traditional litter box. A dump in the garbage can and 5-6 Clorox wipes and I'm done!

There is also much less tracking with the crystal litter. Even wet crystals vacuum up easily without adhering to the brushes or tubing.[/quote]
