Hi, I would like to know what's the best litter you can use (If we don't include the littermaid litter) ?

Any clumping litter is good. I use Fresh Step. My cat did not like Arm and Hammer and Scop Away. He is rather fussy. I used both of those at one time or another and they served the clumping well. He just prefers Fresh Step. One thing i have learned with the Littermaid. Be sure the one you have has a litter bed appropriate for the size of your cat or you will have trouble with the litter clumping because the cat will be constantly urinating on the same wet area and it will not clump if he has no space to scratch and cover which is their natural instinct. I just realized that since I downgraded to a cheaper version of littermaid box and caught him not fitting in the box as he should. He puts is front paws on the back of the box in order to fit. As soon as I get enough money saved I am going to get him the $129 version that he originally had. I would checkl to see if your cat fits in the litter box comfortably so that he can scratch the litter when he is done and help the clumping process along.

Fresh Step, the basic one with odor shield has worked the best for us. The fresh Step Extreme was messy and hardened under urine stalling the LitterMaid leading to more frequent cleanings.

I actually use another brand of litter but I think it has to be crystals. I know that a clumping brand would not work. Hope that helps.

That is exactly what I have done, started out with all Cat Attract and now just using about 33% of the box with it. Using regular NON_SCENTED litter to mix in. Seems the scented ones confuse the issue. This has been wonderful for us training a feral cat. She has 100% accuracy now :)

I have used America's Best cat litter and most recently used Dr. Elseys Ultra Precious Cat Clumping litter. Both work well with this litter box.

I originally used the suggested litter... worked great BUT the urine smell became horrible. It would just sit on the bottom and build up... currently I use the clumping litter and the problem now is that the hole is not big enough to allow the pee clump to pass through...

No. You need to use PREMIUM clumping litter. The littermaid directions specify which kinds you should use, and if you don't use one of them, the machine will not work properly.

Clumping litter is required. I have found that a lightweight clumping litter like World's Best Litter works best. The motors on these self-cleaning boxes are not very powerful, and will not work correctly if a big heavy clump is encountered.

Fresh step from the store is best alternative. Too expansive on Amazon. Also look at this website for other recommendations http://foreverlittertrays.com/crystal-litter/

I have tried various litters and what works best is crystal litter. In fact, the manufacturer recommends Fresh Step Crystal litter and that has turned out to be the best. Some of hte other crystal brands are larger and the rake gets stuck on them. I haven't had good luck with clumping litters in this machine.

You have to use crystal litter. Before I got this box I'd never used crystals but I really like crystals over anything else, the odor control is amazing.

Petco has pretty cheap crystal litter if you order online they have different amounts you can pick from. That's what I recommend. Also use arm and hammer cat odor elemiater baking soda it has a fresh sent and keeps the litter from smelling too bad.

I use mine with paper litter but you could ask them. Here's a link http://www.preciouscat.com/contact-us/

Yes, I use it and it works great. I can also use less of the yesterday's news litter so I am saving money there too. The YN litter with the Breeze Tidy cat system is the perfect combination. Don't use the pellets that came with the Breeze litter system, the cats don't like them and they don't work good. The YN works great and cats love it with the Breeze system. I used both and it's wonderful.

I've only used Fresh Step crystals and Mimi Crystal litter which both sell at Walmart. The Mimi litter is half the price of Fresh Step and works well.

Most clumping litters I imagine will work. If I recall they have an "approved" list that I think included most of the major brands.

That is the downside to this litter. I usually don't put much in and just scoop the poo with a regular scoop. You just have to change more frequently. They do have a pine litter that's not pressed into pellets. It works just as well for the smell and you can scoop it. The downside to that litter is it gets tracked all over the house. I put a mat down outside the litter box and that helped but there were still pine pieces all over my bathroom floor.
