Summary: Really bad product.
Comment: The LME9000 is cheaply made, underpowered and the metal rake constantly gets stuck no matter how much litter is in the box. The LME9000 Elite Mega is NOT a good product.
I purchased this item after my Littermaid LM900 died after two years of excellent service. I thought that the LME9000 would be an upgrade, I was wrong. My first LME9000 lasted 3 months and just stopped working. I called customer service and they sent me another (after I mailed in the motherboard and $10 for shipping). Here it is seven months later and the second one died. I called customer service and they are sending me the old LM900 version as a replacement.

Summary: Save your money
Comment: I had to replace my second littermaid with a new one after several years of reliable service. It never really thoroughly raked the litter but did well enough to make it worth the price. I went to Target and bought the new and bit more expensive Littermaid "elite". OMG: they've turned what was a fairly decent product into a piece of junk. Please save your money. It barely lasted two months. It is needlessly more complicated. One of the cheap plastice guide wheels fell off and, evidently got mixed up in a litter clump...couldn't find it. That rendered it completely useless. I've ordered a Litter Robot. Quite a bit more expensive but the reviews are all raves and it comes with a 60 day money back guarantee.

Summary: Work well when done right!
Comment: I bought this to replace an 4 year old mega maid, at first I was not impressed. But I was using a different litter then I had been because the store was out, I switched back to Arm and Hammer after a week and it works just fine. Make sure the receptacle is pushed all the way down or the arm will catch it and miss the target. If you can track down an older model with the plastic rake, I would go that way first. But this works well, just make sure you have the right litter in the box.

Summary: 150 dollars to waste
Comment: This thing has not worked once. Something called "elite" and "advanced" should work at least sometimes. We paid full price for ours at local pet shop with unfriendly return policy. We are stuck with an overpriced plastic container with permanently blinking failure light.

Summary: Avoid at all costs
Comment: My wife and I purchased one littermaid Elites with ionic air from Target to help with our two older cats. We had the first for about two weeks and were satisfied so we purchased another for our younger cats.
The littermaid is flawed on so many levels. The gears and the track that the gears ride on are made of cheap plastic and pop out of place, causing the track to run crooked and therefore not settle in the off position, leaving the machine to run back and forth until turned off.
This is also not a clean solution as the advertise. The will are far too low and the cats end up scattering litter everywhere. The suggested level of litter is too deep to allow the machine to work properly and yet too low for cats to feel comfortable using it, especially when you adjust the level so that the machine works. This low level of litter causes even more mess. Not to mention the mess associated with the disposal bin. I have come into contact with far more cat feces using this product than with years of old fashioned boxes. It furthermore wastes a great deal of very expensive litter in its cleaning process.
This is a cheap, poorly made product with a high price tag that should be pulled from the market.
