"I need replacement recepticals."
"I had high hopes when I set up the litter box for the first time and maybe I was lucky, motor is fine, easy to clean, the maintenance mode will rake the litter back-and-forth, so it evens out a little bit better, and so far through my ineptness it has been durable and survived."
If your cat loves it, and you can accept the problems they are likely to cause as well some frequent maintenance, then it may be worth it. Otherwise, I would suggest looking at alternative brands.
