![]() The cleaning process is similar to other popular self-cleaning litter boxes. In addition to these cat-triggered cycles, the AutoEgg runs 4 automatic cycles at 3 AM and 9 AM, and again at 3 PM and 9 PM to ensure a cleaner litter box for your cat. Note the amount of urine and litter at the back of the box-my cats tended to urinate and kick litter onto this area as the litter tray was too small. The ChilllX AutoEgg works by raking across the litter tray, picking up clumps and feces, and depositing them into the waste drawer at the back of the unit. This display screen will also track and alert you if your cat deposits less than 5 grams, indicating potential problems, including urinary tract disease or constipation. This display shows details including when your cat used the litter box, how much they deposited, and how much your cat weighed at the time of use. Once the AutoEgg is filled with litter and plugged in, it’s time to turn it on.Īs soon as the AutoEgg turns on, you will see the display screen which displays a log of your cat’s usage. Again, like most automatic litter boxes, it works best with hard-clumping clay cat litter. The company advises against using silica crystals, pellet, tofu, wheat, and corn litter to fill the tray. Like most automatic litter boxes, the ChillX AutoEgg is intended for use with clumping cat litter. ![]() What Type Of Litter Does The ChillX AutoEgg Require? Mallory Crusta / Īlso, the entrance to the AutoEgg measures just 7 1/2 inches in height, which may be a tight squeeze for adult cats. The opening of the ChillX AutoEgg is small, making it a relatively tight fit for most medium or large-sized cats. Its small dimensions are also apparent when you measure the litter bed, which is only 11.5 by 13 inches. This is fairly small when compared to other automatic litter boxes. Once the ChillX AutoEgg was fully assembled, it measured 30 inches long, 19 inches wide, and 17 inches high. I also contacted the company about this issue and they said that they were aware of the problem and that they intend to release an updated model that corrects the lid placement issue. And during the weeks of testing, putting on the cover never got easier.Īfter referring to the instructions, reading several reviews, and asking others to try to put the lid on, I concluded that this wasn’t just my issue-just about everyone is struggling to get that cover on. Every attempt to put on the lid was a struggle. You need to seat the lid at the back of the unit and gently squeeze the sides of the lid to get it centered on the base.īut in reality? It’s not that simple. In theory, putting on the cover is simple enough. In no place was this more apparent than when putting the lid onto the AutoEgg. This is explained in the instructions as something that regularly occurs during shipping.Īfter attaching the tray and putting a liner into the waste drawer, it became obvious that the pieces of this little box came together loosely. When assembling the litter box base, the rake mechanism came displaced, so I had to adjust it to get it properly aligned. The two pieces of this litter box include the base with the motor and rake mechanism, along with the top cover portion, which is designed to snap onto the base. Also included in the box is a scooper, a roll of biodegradable waste receptacle liners, and a start-up guide to help with assembly and operation. ![]() The litter box itself comes in two pieces and you’ll have to put everything together. The ChillX comes in a large box with all the parts needed to assemble. The ChillX AutoEgg comes in several parts, including the base, lid, and waste drawer. With almost all positive reviews seeming to come from questionable accounts and real reviews-like those on the Better Business Bureau site-complaining of nightmarish customer support and deceptive practices, we can’t recommend that anyone purchases the ChillX AutoEgg. This new entrant to the automatic litter box market is marketed as a safe, quiet, and stylish alternative to other self-cleaning boxes.Īfter hands-on testing and learning that the product is tear-inducingly difficult to assemble, doesn’t work well, and is too small for all but the tiniest of kittens, we concluded that its performance didn’t justify the $399 price tag.īut when bogus comments started pouring in on our reviews, it became clear that this is both a poorly-built product and a dishonest company. We first became aware of the ChillX AutoEgg after receiving numerous requests that we review it, both here and on the YouTube channel.
