SIVMIG Adapter Headphone Jack Adapter Earphone to 3.5mm Jack Aux Audio Stereo Adaptor

Here's the deal: My machine works as it is intended to work. It sifts the waste the same way a scoop does and then allows it to pass through a hole to the compartment below, where it is mostly sealed off thereafter with a flexible rubber layer in the globe. My 4 month old cat is too small to activate the automatic mechanism.Here are my problems:- Even after covering the poo for her (she doesn't even cover in an open litter box) and waiting 7 minutes, waste gets all over the sifting grate. Since there's a lot more surface area for the waste to spread around on, I end up wiping the interior out with Lysol wipes every time she takes a poo. I am actually dealing with her poo much more intimately than ever before after buying this thing. It's a lot more gross work for me than immediately scooping each poo from the box and flushing it, which is what I used to do.- The waste is dumped into a compartment below, but it's still a full bag of cat crap in your house or apartment. Though it is undoubtedly less stinky than a traditional open litter box with tons of crap in it, it's nonetheless a box full of crap...and it smells. I don't smell it right at the door of my apartment, but I definitely smell it in the room where the Litter Robot sits.- I cleaned the drawer today after only two days because the odor was so heavy, and even after disposing of the bag, the drawer and unit still smelled foul. I added an additional activated carbon block and some baking soda to the bag and put 2 air fresheners in the room, so hopefully that helps.- The packaging is enormous and impractical to keep in a 600 Sq. Ft apartment, so I got rid of it. This will make returning the monstrosity more difficult.Here's why I'm going to give it another month before attempting to send it back:- My cat started using it within 10 hours and chose it instead of the clean open litter box. If I had one of those cats that rejected it and went all over the floor The Bot would definitely be on its way back by now.- When she's big enough to activate the automatic mechanism, I will prefer swiping down the interior to having an entire apartment that smells strongly of cat poo when I get home every day.- I do go on 2-3 day trips a fair amount, so this may allow her to have a clean litter box while I'm goneMy cat may have especially stinky, sticky poo because I haven't seen too many reviews with these same complaints. I'll probably try some new foods, etc. to see if I can get hers to harden up a bit, which would help keep the interior of the globe cleaner.

I set the Litter Robot next to the traditional litter box and after a couple weeks my cat to took using it regularly and I was able to remove the old box. It's a neat design but I've had a few issues that only matter due to the high cost of this unit.The first problem is that the weight sensor requires constant adjustment. Often I'll get home the litter box has not run all day because it thinks the cat is in it, when causes the waste to build up and the cat to push litter out onto the floor. After adjustment is works fine, but then sometimes it doesn't cycle at all because it doesn't recognize the cat. Right now it will work flawlessly for several days and then require constant adjustment for a day, and then go back to working well. I believe it's because the waste adds weight, requiring a constant tweaking of the adjustments unless you dump the litter after each use (which defeats the purpose of the unit). A good design change would be to separate the weight sensor from so that waste bin doesn't register. I was hoping for a set-it-and-forget-it (other than dumping and adding litter) but it hasn't been quite so smooth.The second issue is that sometimes the cat will not be in the box all the way, spilling some liquid waste onto the control panel. This is a common problem after reading reviews and has caused other owners to have to send in the unit for repair. Putting the only electronic buttons and controls directly underneath where the cat enters is a poor location.The third is that bags that come with the unit are worthless. The won't stay attached and the waste ends up inside the plastic containter and not the bag. My solution was to use a large aftermarket litter liner that covers the waste bin. Easy fix, but they should not include bags with the unit if they don't fit, especially for this cost.Finally, I've noticed the smell is worse with this unit than a traditional litter box. With a traditional box the waste is buried and the smell is masked by the clean litter. With this one, the clumped waste drops into the bin and is not surrounded by clean litter, so it smells like you left you dirty litter waste out in an open room. The solution is to constantly dump the box, which is fine, defeats the low-maintenance approach of an automatic box if you don't want to dump it every day.Overall a neat and good product, but given the price, should be refined further. If this was $200 it would have gotten 5-stars but for closer to $400 it could use improvement.
