Litter tray experience revolutionised!
I was a backer of the SLS S7 model on Kickstarter, and one never knows quite what you will get when you back a Kickstarter. Having been bitten once before over a self-cleaning litter tray (from a totally different company), I was hesitant.
However...
I am so pleased I took the plunge and chose to back this.
Set Up
When the box arrived, I was struck by how well-thought-through the actual packaging was. Unboxing was straightforward and set up was simple - although the unit did have to be turned sideways to fit through the door to the room where it was to live. (That is just our weird house...) Fortunately, we hadn't added any cat litter at that stage of the set up process.
We placed it in the same place as the litter tray it replaced, and the cats took to it immediately even though we were, at that point, using a different type of cat litter than the one they were used to.
App
Once the App was released and we had extended our WiFi so that we could use it, maintenance became even simpler than it was when done manually. I also like to keep an eye on frequency of use.
Maintenance
With 2 cats, I empty the bin every 14 days, because that fits in with the bin collection even though it isn't absolutely full at that point. Keeping the unit clean is straightforward - I use Waterwipes to wipe the bin surround etc, and throw the used one into the bin when Im done with them. Dry litter dust around the sifter hinge brushes out with the brush from the dustpan I used with our "old" litter trays.
Litter type
The only thing I found was that the "new" cat litter I was using at first (Catit pea husk) has long thin pellets, and the bars of the (supplied) litter sifter were too close together to allow them to pass through if they were "widthways". We wasted a lot of unused litter because it was ejected into the bin instead of passing through the sifter and returned to the tray, but as soon as I realised what was happening, we reverted to the "old" litter, (World's Best Multi cat) which had differently-shaped pellets, and the issue has not arisen again. I have purchased a litter sifter with more widely spaced bars from Popur, which I will be fitting and using once we have used up all the "old" litter.
I think we use less litter, because the device only removes the "clumps" of litter, and all dry and unused litter is returned to the tray.
Neither we not our cleaning ladies can detect any "litter tray smell" at all in the house or in the room where the tray is located.
I have had a couple of minor queries. On reaching out to Popur, they were both answered extremely quickly.
I am very happy with this. The cats are happy, and we are happy.
