THE BOTTOM LINE
A clean litter box is imperative if you want your cat to actually use it; most cats won’t have anything to do with their litter box if there are even a few piles inside. Can you blame them really? There is nothing worse than the only restroom available is a seldom, if ever, cleaned gas station facility! There are many self-cleaning types of litter boxes on the market ranging in price from about $30 to over $300, depending on the type of sifting mechanism involved.
The simple rolling sifting mechanism of the Omega Paw Roll ‘n Clean Litter Box seems like a good idea in theory; instead of an expensive electric sifter, you provide the sifting power by manually rolling the entire box to separate the good from the bad. However, many cat owners have had trouble with litter leakage because the box doesn’t seem to seal as well as it needs to in order to the job effectively. There also seems to be a lack of durability in both the external locking tabs and some of the internal plastic features.
The bottom line is, this litter box might not be worth the trouble. If having a reliable self-cleaning litter box is important to you, spend a few more dollars on a system that is made a little sturdier.
