Is it noisy?  I think one of those self-cleaning litter boxes would 
scare the crap (pun intended) out of my 8 month old kitten, Cleo.  Is 
the one you got a covered litter box?  I doubt she'd be comfortable 
using one of those.  She shies away from enclosed spaces.

I do agree, Amazon doesn't always have the best price.  I see an 
automatic uncovered litter box on chewy.com for $170 but it seems to 
require buying disposable litter trays containing crystal-type cat 
litter.  Seems like constantly buying new litter trays would wind up 
being expensive.  Since I'll likely be out of work come July, that's 
something I have to take into consideration.  That, and the fact that 
the litter box is in the (spacious) water closet area of the bathroom 
(tub & toilet) but there are no electrical outlets in that space.
