The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other dog and cat food, health, gear and grooming we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
The PetSafe ScoopFree is an automatic self-cleaning litterbox that uses a disposable crystal litter tray instead of standard clumping litter. Rather than sifting or scooping, the automatic rake mechanism moves waste to a covered compartment on a schedule, and when the crystal tray is used up, you swap in a new one rather than cleaning it out yourself. The uncovered standard-size unit measures 27.6 by 19.1 by 6.2 inches and weighs 16.8 pounds.
This is one of the more established products in the category, with over 10,700 reviews and a 4.1 rating, plus a strong #6 rank in Self-Cleaning Cat Litter Boxes and roughly 1,000 units bought in the past month, among the highest sales velocity in this roundup. At $142.49 it sits in the mid-range price bracket, below the higher-end robotic boxes but well above the manual roller options.
The listed weight capacity maximum is 15 pounds, and the box includes the crystal litter, a disposable litter tray, and an operation guide to get started right away.

Performance notes
The system relies on a self-cleaning automatic rake paired with disposable crystal litter trays, a different approach than the sifting or drum-rotation designs used elsewhere in this roundup. Its 15-pound weight capacity maximum and low 6.2 inch height make it accessible for most cats but worth checking against larger breeds.
What buyers say
With over 10,700 reviews at a 4.1 average and a #6 category rank, this is one of the most reviewed and highly rated products in this roundup, backed by roughly 1,000 recent purchases per month.
Yes, the ScoopFree system is built around PetSafe's disposable crystal litter trays rather than standard clumping litter, and the box ships with an initial tray included.
How does the automatic cleaning work?
An automatic rake mechanism moves waste into a covered compartment on a schedule, so you're not scooping by hand, though you do replace the crystal tray once it's used up.
Is this box covered or open-top?
This particular style is listed as uncovered, so it has an open top rather than an enclosed hood.
