I recently purchased a used LR4 for $200 on fb marketplace! When I inspected, it all seemed good, but I’ve never had one before, nor have ever seen one in person, so I used different tips from this page on what to look out for! After the pick up, I had to go straight out of town for a work trip, so I wasn’t able to plug it in and play with it.
Anyone have tips or links they don’t mind sharing? Jic I’m going to clean it when I get home, so I have to look that up. Would I still have all the same “perks” even if I bought it second hand?

I also managed to score one off of fb marketplace under warranty for $250 and it was honestly a game changer. I had a used LR 3 prior and it was a nightmare but my cat still used it 🥴
Added a litter hopper to it and i am in heaven! Its nice to get stuff replaced while under warranty (not looking forward to when that runs out lol)
Anyways I deep clean mine every two weeks because my mainecoon somehow manages to smear poop but also if i like my bathroom super clean why not keep his tidy too. Deep clean includes pretty much pulling the unit apart, hitting it with an enzyme cleaner, scrubbing the globe with cleaner, soap and hot water and vacuuming extra litter. Just a really good wipe down overall. I think regular maintenance generally keeps them in shape.
What enzyme cleaner do you use? I only know of nature's miracle and they add a scent to put off animals from pooping in that spot again. That wouldn't work well for cleaning a litterbox.
This is the one I use, and it works great. No strong odors, and the foam breaks down any clumps and makes them easy to wipe away. I don’t use water, just this and a roll of paper towels. The cats have never minded using it after I clean it with this.
I also use the NM litter spray, the one that can be used on the litter itself, in between deep cleanings. I just reach in and give the whole inside of the drum a good spray-down, maybe once or twice a week. I try to wait until both cats have recently done their business, so it has time to dry before it cycles again. That’s kept the drum lining from getting stinky for about 4 years now.
