Overview:
Another model in the LitterMaid Elite series, the LME900 is the Mega Elite model of LitterMaid’s popular automatic self-cleaning litter boxes. The litter box is operated by a motor, which can be powered with the AC adapter or by eight D-cell batteries, though this is recommended for backup use only. The LME900, like most LitterMaid litter boxes, requires premium clumping litter. This is more expensive than standard litter, but less of it is needed.
The LME9000 includes twelve waste receptacles and additional ones can be purchased separately. The stainless steel removable rake sifts through the litter, removing all the waste and placing it in the sealable container, ten minutes after the cat’s exit. The safety bar prevents the cat’s paws from getting stuck. The litter tray is detachable, which makes cleaning it extremely easy. The litter box is suitable for large cats or multiple cat households.
The kit also includes a triple action tool for measuring litter, a cleaning brush, a guide, a Paw Cleaning Ramp, and four Powerful odor-absorbing carbon filters. The Mega Elite model boasts a sleep timer to avoid having a noisy motor running during the night, and a sensor activated ionic air cleaner, which keeps the litter box environment clean and fresh at all times.
Description:
The LME9000 is a rectangular hard plastic litter box that measures 31 x 19 x 9 inches without the ramp and weighs 17 pounds. It is suitable for a multiple cat household and for large cats, although many people have found that the smaller models are also suitable for households with more than one cat, as long as the cats are medium sized. The litter box, like most LitterMaid litter boxes requires premium clumping litter. It is powered with a low voltage AC adapter and can also operate on eight D-cell batteries, though this is recommended for backup use only.
The cleaning cycle begins ten minutes after the cat’s exit. The LME9000 includes twelve waste receptacles, like all the Mega models and has the standard detachable litter tray for easy cleaning and the safety bar for preventing accidents. This Elite version has a steel rake that is detachable, which also makes it easier to clean. The kit includes an instruction booklet, a cleaning brush, a triple action tool for measuring litter, a Paw Cleaning Ramp, and four Powerful Odor-Absorbing Carbon Filters. The LME9000 also features the sleep timer and ionic air cleaner, as all the Elite models do.
Review:
As the saying goes, less is more, when it comes to LitterMaid’s litter boxes, the simpler models such as the LM500 and the LM900 seem to be more successful and more popular. The extra features that this Elite model boasts such as the sleep timer and the ionic air cleaner are just not necessary and some even find them to be a nuisance. If fancy features are your thing, then this may be the model for you. This is especially true if the noisy motor bothers you. The sleep timer turns it off at night and makes sure that the litter box is kept fresh with the ionic air cleaner.
