ScoopFree Crystal Classic Self-Cleaning Litter Box
Take daily scooping off your list with the PetSafe ScoopFree Crystal Classic. This automatic cat litter box rakes solid waste into a covered compartment, while crystal litter absorbs urine and helps control odours between tray changes.
Less scooping. Simple litter care.
Automatic litter cleaning and disposable crystal trays make everyday litter box care easier.
Automatic waste raking
The rake moves solid waste out of the litter bed and into the covered waste compartment.
Crystal odour control
Absorbent crystals soak up urine and dry solid waste to help reduce unpleasant smells.
Less litter mess
The 99% dust-free, low-tracking litter helps reduce dust and crystals carried around your home.
Easy tray changes
A plastic-lined disposable tray helps protect against leaks and includes a lid for disposal.
*PetSafe's odour-control claim is based on odour concealment studies comparing traditional litter pans using clay litter.
How does the ScoopFree Crystal Classic work?
Your cat uses the litter box as usual. The system then takes care of raking solid waste away.
- Your cat uses the traySensors recognise when your cat is in the litter box.
- The 20-minute countdown beginsAfter your cat leaves, the timer starts. If your cat returns during the countdown, it stops and resets after they leave again.
- The rake clears solid wasteWaste moves into the covered compartment. The crystal litter absorbs liquid waste.
Crystal litter does the absorbing
ScoopFree crystal litter absorbs urine without forming heavy clumps. It also dehydrates solid waste, helping control odour before the rake moves waste into the covered compartment.
The lightweight, low-tracking crystals are 99% dust free, making them a practical choice for tidier litter care.
Use ScoopFree crystal litter. Clay and clumping litter are not suitable for this system.
Fresh tray. Less mess.
When the litter tray needs replacing, lift the front of the frame and slide out the used tray. Cover it with its lid, dispose of it in your rubbish bin and install a fresh tray.
- Disposable tray collects litter and waste together
- Plastic lining helps protect against leaks
- Included lid covers the tray for disposal

How long does a litter tray last?
PetSafe provides the following replacement guide for the Crystal Classic.
These are estimates. Check the tray regularly and replace it sooner when needed. Humidity, usage and your cat's habits can reduce tray life. Occasionally stirring the exposed crystals can help distribute moisture; do not mix waste from the covered compartment back into the litter.
Things to consider before buying
Kitten precaution
For kittens under six months, leave the litter box unplugged and scoop waste manually until they are at least six months old.
Choose a dry location
Position near a power point in a dry area with good airflow. Humid bathrooms and laundries can shorten tray life.
Allow room to access
Check the 70.1 cm × 48.51 cm footprint and leave space for your cat to enter and for you to change trays.
Introduce it gradually
Place it beside the existing litter box and leave it unplugged initially. Give your cat time to adjust before using automatic cleaning.

Frequently asked questions
Can I use normal clumping litter?
No. The Crystal Classic is designed for ScoopFree crystal litter. Clay or clumping litter can interfere with operation and damage the system.
Can more than one cat use it?
Yes. The Classic suits single or multi-cat households. Expect to replace the tray more frequently as usage increases, and continue providing enough litter boxes for your cats.
Does it still need cleaning?
Yes. Automatic raking reduces daily scooping, but the tray still needs replacing and the unit needs periodic cleaning. PetSafe recommends monthly cleaning of the frame, rake and sensors. Unplug it before cleaning and follow the operation guide.
Does it come with litter?
Yes. One disposable litter tray and crystal litter are included. Ongoing replacement trays are purchased separately from our ScoopFree litter tray range.
How is the Classic different from the Crystal Pro?
The Classic has an open-top design and straightforward automatic raking. The ScoopFree Crystal Pro includes a privacy hood and a health counter that records litter box visits. Choose the Classic for an uncovered tray, or consider the Pro if you prefer those extra features.
Make the daily scoop one less job
The ScoopFree Crystal Classic brings automatic waste removal, crystal odour control and simple tray changes to an open-top litter box.
