Summary: Cat Privacy Owner Happy
Comment: I think this is the greatest idea. My male cat is very messy, (like most makes he can't seem to hit the right area) This tent has made the area around the litter box a lot neater and fresher smelling. I highly recommend it!
Customer Rating:
Summary: Not Worth It!!!
Comment: The zipper broke the first time we put this together. We managed to fix it, but we'll have to be careful everytime we take out the littler box for cleaning. The old littermaid cover we had was made much better.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Tight fitting cover
Comment: The cover was too tight to fit the frame. I had to cut a seam to get the cover over the frame.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Not waterproof
Comment: Oh, I was so sad when this didn't work! It seemed like the answer to my problem. I have a cat that marks his litterbox. so, I bought the tent hoping that even if he sprayed, it would be contained.
For the first two weeks, everything was great. But when I moved the tent to clean the floor, I saw that the urine had seeped through the tent's bottom and stained my hardwood floor.
I still haven't gotten the smell completely out of the floor, and on top of that, the floor laminate is ruined.

Summary: You would think paying a lot gets you a lot... nope
Comment: First off, the concept is great. Honestly, this is great for the cats and containing the litter fling. Now the reality:
1) Is this really manufactured by Littermaid as well? I know it is, but can someone not take accurate measurements? Assembling the plastic rods was annoying enough, but for the joint connectors to be so dang brittle they snap? That was the first call to them asking for a free replacement.
2) We have the Littermaid Mega Elite pooper scooper. The dang thing doesn't fit in the tent. The cartridge box hangs about half way out. Hello? Does Littermaid not design these for their own product? Also, this was designed so poorly to move the box in and out of the tent. You eventually have to do a cleaning of the entire contraption, and they sure don't make it easy.
3)That little flap on the bottom of the entry is utterly useless... and zipping the tent back up is like trying to put on a pair of jeans three sizes too small just after you at at a buffet for 3 hours: Utterly impossible. I had to literally take the tent apart and take a quarter of an inch off of each rod to assemble it in a fashion that I didn't think the tension was going to implode the tent on my poor cats.
3) The little window flap for the box switch and electrical: Why is it on the left? This is annoying. I need it on the right wall. This is just not convenient. If anything this flap should be on the back of the tent.
Recommendations:
If you buy this thing, take about a quarter of an inch off of each rod BEFORE you attempt to assemble it. If you don't, you'll drive yourself nuts trying to zip the dang thing up and about the point where the zipper fails on you the first time, you'll snap one of those joints.
I modified the tent: I put a piece of wood in the bottom of the tent to allow for easier sliding of the box in and out. I snipped the little lip off to accommodate this.
I also attached a vent in the upper right of the tent at the back wall with a exhaust fan of sorts to draw the kitty smell away and out. I have three little computer fans and a plastic flexible dryer vent that links to a port and draws the smell out a vent like a dryer. Yeah, I'm in it for the long haul but you appreciate this when the windows aren't open and the house is stuffy.
Lastly, if Littermaid really cared, they would pick up on this by now. They haven't and we still buy the darn thing since it is the only one. All I can say is, if it breaks, call 'em up and tell 'em to replace it. Don't throw away the Customer Service paper that's in the box.
