For those who don't like this--just use it right
If you put the box together right the loose litter flows through the screen as you roll the box to the right; keep rolling the box and the clumps go on over the top of the screen into the open top of the collection box. Ingeniously simple! (For those who think the CLUMPS need to go through the screen: look at it again. It's probably just a matter of flipping the screen so that it goes from the edge of the collection box downward to the bottom not upward. Leaving the top of the collection box uncovered at the top edge of the screen.)
Some hints: 1) When you roll the box upright again give it a good shake to the right or roll it part way to the left and back upright to bring the litter back into the potty chamber. 2) If your floor space is limited scoot the box leftward as you roll it to the right. As for the litter there is no magic height the litter has to be in the potty chamber; I don't know how some could find this a problem. 3) To fill the box tilt it backward and pour in the litter. To empty it tilt it forward over a trash receptacle.
As for the quality of the box it's just fine; any better quality and it would be too heavy for me to use being up in my years. The latches that hold the top and bottom of the box together could be stronger but face it how often will you need to open it up? After being in use for two months there is nothing sticking to the box yet to clean up and so no reason to open it--maybe this won`t be true with all litters. Based on recommendations I have only used World`s Best clumping litter; it lasts a l-o-n-g time because not much is caught up in the clumps and what is left is still clean not like some I`ve used where fouled or wet bits fall away from the clumps. The regular litter boxes get dirty above the litter line but that hasn't happened yet with the Omega boxes--must have something to do with the shape...
If the latches don't latch smoothly don't put undue pressure on them just check that they are lined up straight and the box rims are tightly together and look to see if there is a little tag of plastic keeping the latches from moving well and take it off with a paring knife or pocket knife.
I got the bigger size from PetSmart for my larger cat. I left the old litter box there until he got used to the new one but he never again set foot in the old box! I got a regular size box from PetCo for my smaller blind kitty so she could have it in her favorite area but my big cat uses that regular-size one just as often as he uses the bigger one!
I LOVE it!More detail ...
