Omega Paw Self-Cleaning Litter Box Review
The Omega Paw Self-Cleaning Litter Box falls under the classification of the manual yet self-cleaning litter boxes. Although, the way it works is quite similar to the automatic cat litter boxes, this one requires some manual effort by the cat owner.
We all know that taking care of your cat's litter box can be a tedious task, but with the help of a self-cleaning litter box you won't have to scoop any stinky waste any more. Keep reading our review below, to see if this product works effectively and if it's really worth it?
Product Description
This is a hooded litter box, which is also self-cleaning. You don't need to scoop your cat's waste any more, but you'll need to "Roll'n Clean" the box instead. You will need to roll the box to the right (until it touches the floor), and then roll it back to the upright position.
This manual effort will help separate the clean litter from any clumps. All clumps and waste will be dropped in a scoop. Once the scoop waste compartment gets full you'll need to pull it out and throw it away. The litter pan works best with clumping and silica litter types.
There is no electricity or filters needed, which make this product a good choice if you have a limited budget. The Omega Paw self-cleaning litter box is at the top of the list of all the manually operated self-cleaning cat litter boxes.

Does The Omega Paw Self Cleaning Product Operate Effectively?
Before you decide if this is the right product for you and your pet's needs, let's consider some other important factors:
Odor Control
The fact that this is a hooded litter box helps with odor control, however all your cat's waste stays inside the box until you manually "Roll'n Clean". Once you do this, all clumps will then be inside the waste tray.
To eliminate odor, you should empty the waste tray after a few days or even sooner. You can also wash the tray, so it's completely clean and ready to be used again.
Efficiency
As we already mentioned, the Omega Paw Self-Cleaning Litter Box requires you to do some manual work.
When you "Roll'n Clean" the box, the clumps will fall into a waste tray. If you want perfect results, you should be doing this every time your cat poops or pees inside the box, however wait until the clumps have formed.
Motorized self-cleaning litter boxes on the other hand have a sensor, which detect when your feline has done it's business, and after 15-20 min. a metal rake will automatically scoop the waste and drop it inside a closed compartment.
So if you're away during the day, you'll get home to a clean litter box. However here you'll need to "Roll'n Clean" it.
Price
The price of the box is quite affordable, when compared to motorized automatic litter boxes. Another big advantage is that you don't need to buy or change any filters, plastic bags, or trays. All you need is clumping or silica litter to fill it.
Bottom Line
The Omega Paw Self-Cleaning yet manual cat litter box does have a clever design which allows you to manage your feline's waste, without having to scoop it. It is easy to use, and the cleaning is done in 3 steps. If you're looking for an affordable litter box, The Omega Paw Self-Cleaning Litter Box is a good choice to consider. For best results, make sure you're using hard clumping cat litter.
