to those of you who might have owned both of these, which do you prefer and why? do you mind telling me your experiences with them? i've read super mixed reviews on both... some people say the scoopfree box leaks, some say it never leaks, is totally maintenance free and is the greatest thing since sliced bread! i think the people who had problems with the scoopfree box were mostly multiple cat owners. since i only have one baby, that should cut down on some of the problems i've read although murphy tends to tinkle A LOT! he doesn't poo that much but since he drinks a lot of water, he goes a lot!
the littermaid is ok. certainly better than non-automated boxes but not without flaws. i just hate how often we have to change the waste bin...especially since we have some trips coming up and i hate asking my friends to do the litter box. it's a big enough favor just having someone come over and feed him and play with him... if i can avoid the whole litterbox mess, that would be good and the scoop free box supposedly lasts around 3-4 weeks for a single cat... whereas the littermaid we tend to change the waste bin twice a week on average and add more litter to the existing litter.
thanks in advance for your opinions.
