CatGenie 120 Review: Is It Right for You and Your Cat?

If you have a cat and you don't have a lot of time or if you don't like dealing with a smelly, dirty litter box your alternative is to invest in an automated self-cleaning cat box. Among the many boxes on the market the CatGenie 120 as a totally different animal compared to the rest.

The CatGenie 120 is a litter less litter box. Instead of litter it uses permanent washable granules that are disinfected with a SaniSolution similar to what veterinarians' use to clean their examination tables in their animal hospitals. The SaniSolution is held in a cartridge that dispense the solution during the cleaning cycle and each cartridge is good for up to 120 cleanings. You just need to replace the cartridge every few weeks.

Cat

The CatGenie is shaped like a toilet with a bowl that contains the permanent washable granules. These washable granules are there to accommodate a cats need for digging when preparing to do their business. After a cat has completed their activity a sensor on the unit recognizes that the cat is no longer in the bowl and begins the cleaning cycle. There is a safety mechanism that stops the cleaning cycle should the cat reenter the bowl.

You have to attach the unit up to a water supply. The unit comes with a "T" shaped connector so you can attach it up to a water supply in your bathroom or laundry room. If you have a ridge waterline you may have to replace it with a flexible line to accommodate the "T" connector. There also needs to be a drain or toilet near by so the waste can be discarded.

You can start the cleaning by pushing a button or you can set it for cat activation You can program the delay timer for when you want the cleaning cycle to start after the cat has left the box. Unlike other cat boxes where the cat urine is absorbed by the litter in the CatGenie the urine flows through the granules and drains out of the bowl into a compartment in the back where it is neutralized by the solution and disposed of in the cleaning cycle. When the cleaning cycle starts cold water mixes with the SaniSolution into the granules while an apparatuses called a GenieHand scrubs and scours the basin removing the solid waste by dumping it into a compartment where it is liquefied and it is disposed of through a drainage hose that you attach to a drain or drains into a near by toilet. A built-in a hot air blower dries the granules so they are ready for the next use.

The motor does make some noise but it depends on ones owns personal noise tolerance level as to whether something is annoying or not. So you should decide before hand where you will be placing the unit. The CatGenie 120 doesn't require a lot of maintenance once it's set up. The company recommends that you use their Machine Maintenance Treatment Packs up to four times a year in order to keep the hoses and the system running clean and free of clogs. The unit comes with one maintenance cartridge additional ones need to be purchased.

You only need to change the SaniSolution cartridges every few weeks depending on how many cats are using the unit. It is recommended that no more than 2 cats use one unit. You may also need to purchase some additional washable granules from time to time to replace the ones that sometimes get thrown out with the solid waste.
