Technology: no motor/simple and easy: The clean sand is filtered and sanitized through a special sieve, so you don't have to change it, just refill the level when necessary. By over filling the bowl (due to the lack of information in the manual telling me the right amount to put in), after many cranks, the "plug" for the arm itself has warped the surrounding socket. Another issue with the clumping litter and these types of sifting mechanism is that the urine litter clumps can sometimes stick to the tray so I have a flat litter scoop nearby to scrape off anything stuck to the tray. It would also need extra effort occasionally as the used litter wouldn't always fall in the right place so I would have to reach in and contort myself to get everything out. Catit SmartSift is the most modern and revolutionary cat litter box in the world, specially created for the cleanest cats.

I have been surprised that I have not had any bad odour from the box at all (it pongs when you open the waste drawer to change the liner on day 4 lol) I would not leave waste drawer for 7 days (company claim 7 days, as I keep the box in a bedroom this may be different if box was kept in a garage or utility room you may get 7 days before a change is needed) as I experimented when I first got it and at the end of day 4 I got a slight musty smell by the box and day 5 it was in the air not just by the box, so I think it needs changed on day 4 (which I think is amazing). I am not sure how others have gotten on but the plastic waste drawer we received was warped at the front so there was not a proper seal on the unit - the not-so-sweet aroma of 1-2 day old "business" wafting out meant Mum couldn't bear to leave it longer than 2 days.This was sorted very easily with communication and replacement sent once damaged item received back. I had the impression it wouldn't be large enough for the cats to feel comfortable and be persuaded to use it. The only downsides I've seen is that it's quite a big box that takes up a lot of space and the entrance is quite high up so my Luna cat has to jump a little bit to get in which may be a problem for senior cats with limited mobility (Luna is a year old so this isn't a problem for me currently). Clumps will often roll to the sides, and will require manual "pushing" into the middle so it's able to fall into the tray below. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.

I'm so glad I risked it, thanks to everyone else that left reviews with a bit of common sense in them. I have severe chronic pain (particularly back pain) so my biggest problem with caring for my cat is cleaning and maintaining her litter box. We discovered that our cats were tearing the base liners when digging and that the base liners were not allowing for a good sifting (some litter was retained into random "pockets" in the liner).Yes, clean litter does go in the bin, if you don't follow the instructions and put litter ABOVE the line that is clearly in there. The Catit Smartsift is a simple yet innovative litter sifting system that takes the chore out of litter maintenance. Designed by our Hagen in-house design team and inspired by cats and cat lovers around the world, SmartSift has many other unique features that set it apart from the competition. Most purchases from business sellers are protected by the Consumer Contract Regulations 2013 which give you the right to cancel the purchase within 14 days after the day you receive the item.

I find this ridiculous because when I first assembled the unit, I remember making a mental note of how quickly I suspected it would break. I guess if we emptied and replaced the bag with every sift it wouldn't smell at all but that defeats the whole purpose of the Smartsift design. To refresh the litter pan, all you have to do is pull down on the lever to activate a seamless and noiseless process that quickly and efficiently sifts and disposes the waste for you. When you pull the lever, the cat pan inside the unit rotates and pours its contents into an integrated sifter, which collects and then deposits waste in a lined, pull-out waste bin located below.

For our very young one, we put a shoe box in front of the entrance and she easily used it as a step. Got 2 of these to try out with my older cats - had to replace 1 immediately,as it was broken in transit.

Like it could be a bit too difficult for a child under 5 years old-ish but it's so simple and easy to use that children definitely could use it without any help.
