Great decision!  And Amazon doesn't always have the
best price.

Is it noisy?  I think one of those self-cleaning litter boxes would
scare the crap (pun intended) out of my 8 month old kitten, Cleo.  Is
the one you got a covered litter box?  I doubt she'd be comfortable
using one of those.  She shies away from enclosed spaces.

Here's the one I bought and it's even cheaper now!

It's very quiet and sometimes I'll be in the back of the
house where it's located, and it will start its' cleaning
cycle and I'm thinking "what's that noise?" and it dawns
on me it's the box doing its' thing.  The noise is like
a low hum.
Pepper was quite curious but quite wary of it as well.
There was trouble getting her to urinate in it, grrrrrr.
But I bought a canister of Fresh Step cat litter attractant
and sprinkled it on her fresh litter and there has been
no further out of the box weeing.  It's wi-fi connected
and I've got it set to clean 15 minutes after she leaves
the box.  That gives the litter time to clump around
whatever she's left in the box.
The only downside is you must set these boxes up on a
cell phone and not a computer.  I don't get a notice
of anything that needs to be done, just that I have
to check into the site if it needs more litter or
the bag needs to be change.  But I don't wait for
the notice, I just add and change on a regular basis.

I do agree, Amazon doesn't always have the best price.  I see an
automatic uncovered litter box on chewy.com for $170 but it seems to
require buying disposable litter trays containing crystal-type cat
litter.  Seems like constantly buying new litter trays would wind up
being expensive.  Since I'll likely be out of work come July, that's
something I have to take into consideration.  That, and the fact that
the litter box is in the (spacious) water closet area of the bathroom
(tub & toilet) but there are no electrical outlets in that space.

Besides the litter, the only thing this box takes are the
disposable plastic bags.  They're reasonably priced and
I have to put a new bag in the tray about every 10 days.
If I had another cat, I'd be replacing the bags more
often.
The same litter box that I supplied the link above is
also sold on Amazon, but under a different name.  But
it's the EXACT same box.  I found out any company that
makes these different boxes will allow you to put your
own company name on them when you order at least a
thousand to sell.
