Any litter recommendations that work well with the robot -- and are nearly dust free? Our cats have respiratory probs (worsening w/ Dr. Elsey's Ultra)

Unfortunately I just use regular litter from Costco, so I would just find the lowest dust clumping litter you can find for your situation and go that route.

It's really hard finding dust free litter that works in these machines. They only work as well as the litter you put in it. If it doesn't clump enough, there's leftover dirty litter that broke apart small enough to go through the grate. Tidy Cats works best in my situation, not the best at clumping (that would be scoop free, which is like a sandstorm of dust) but also no where near as dusty as its competitors. Hope that helps.

I have used World's Best Cat Litter and can say that they aren't even in the same league. Cat Attract is the best clumping litter I have ever used. Do NOT put it down the toilet, tho. There is a warning in the bag, but just in case you miss it, let me tell you....do NOT put it down the toilet!! lol

I had a Littermaid first & couldn't get it to cycle reliably. I also disliked having to buy fecal receptacles specially designed for the Littermaid. With the Litter Robot any small trash bags will work. It also does a better job of keeping the litter contained if you have a messy cat like mine. Litter Robot has a higher up front cost but I've owned it for over 5 years now & it still works.

I recommend that you continue to use the ScoopFree Crystals. I have tried to used the crystals combined with a less expensive clumping litter; however, it seems to be more difficult for the motor moving the rake to drag through the heavier, clumping litter. I also noticed that the other litter had a residue that when mixed with the urine stuck to the plastic bottom of the tray making it harder to clean. I hope this answers your question... Good luck!

I use Arm & Hammer but I believe that any comparable litter would work out fine. The Nature's Miracle is merely a receptacle for the litter & adds an impregnation of baking soda as an adjunct for odor control. Works very well for my cats & me!

I love my Roomba! I would prefer to have the new one 800 series because I have long hair and it tangles more than the new one does, but I love it anyway. I have a cat and so we do appreciate the HEPA. I take them out and knock them over the trash can several times before I put in a new one. This machine does keep our unit dust free. I have so much less dusting now than before I got it. I hope this helps with your decision.

It's the lowest dust litter I've found. Used to use Ever Clean which claims 99% dust free - not so much. I now get this delivered from Amazon - no more lugging the heavy bags in and out of the car. I buy unscented and have no odor issues with three cats and two litter boxes.

That is exactly what I want to use it for. The room gets so dusty but the cat won't use any other litter. We have 2 computers in the room, the cat box, and the dog is usually in the room with us. Anyone know if this will do the trick?

I have a Litter Robot brand automatic kitty box, and I swear by it. Do not know how I lived without it. I use one 40 pound bag per month for three cats. My two males weigh 20 pounds each, and eat accordingly and leave that waste in the box. They use the box constantly for both liquid and solid waste. The Precious Cat basic is the best litter I have ever used in 40 years, as it clumps immediately, stays clumped, has no smell at all, and I do not worry about it poisoning my cats with harsh chemicals which they lick from their fur. This is a VERY good kitty litter which lasts a long time in my very litter-active cat environment. I have a Litter Robot brand automatic kitty box, and I swear by it.

I don't have any issues with dust. Only if I have to add a lot of litter at one time which would happen with any color. I just wipe with a damp rag once a month and it's good.

The Litter-Robot is working like a charm. I have a backup, old-fashioned litter box and the Blitter Robot. I believe they all use the L-R unless it is in use. They are all such good little cats. I put Rescue Remedy in their drinking water to cut down any animosity. Love the L-R and highly recommend it.

I hope this response answers any questions you may have. We have tried so many litter boxes and been so disappointed, not to mention the money wasted. Then we discovered the Omega Paw LitterSystem - inexpensive, no electronics, simple and efficient. No loud noises, no mess, no more odor - it works like a charm!! I highly recommend that you google the product and watch the several youtube videos. Then order one. Add a litter genie to simplify disposal and go back to enjoying your kitties!

The Everholder FURemover Broom may be the solution. I have several dogs and cats and deal with lots of hair and litter. I use this broom every day and it works better than any other broom I've ever tried. It's sturdy and hair and litter doesn't fly around when you're sweeping. Definitely worth a try.

My experience with the Litter Maid Elite has not been good. My old one worked really well, but this one does such a poor job that I ended up having to clean out the litter box as much as a non-automatic one. I found a couple of other self-cleaning ones on Amazon, but haven't ordered one yet. I'm sorry I couldn't recommend a specific one, but maybe someone else can. I hope you find one soon.

you can buy the refills for the cat Litter Champ at Dr Fosters & Smith online! So weird you can't get them on Amazon but I hope they will fix that soon!!

We believe that "World's best cat litter" has been a better choice for the dust problems in most litters. Probably, realistically there is no cat litter dust free, but this litter is much better that most we have tried. We hope this has been helpful.

You can totally use non-crystal litter, it just needs to medium to big grained. I made the switch because after years of being happy with crystals, my cat suddenly started hating it and refused to do his thing in it. Dr. Elsey's Cat Attract totally works (medium grains) but you do have to clean it more often.
