The Crystal Classic is the lowest cost way into PetSafe's crystal tray system, with no hood, no app and no health counter. It suits one small or average cat in a home that wants low tracking and no scooping. Skip it for several cats or a big cat, because the 14 inch litter bed is small and trays go fast.
Best for: one small cat on a tight budget. Skip if: you have two or more cats or a large cat.

What independent reviewers found
- Hands on test of the base ScoopFree: litter stayed dry 7 to 9 days with two cats versus PetSafe's 10 to 15 day claim; rake ran 20 minutes after use; low tracking; reviewer did not recommend it for two or more cats.
- Cats.com · 4/5
- Compared the classic ScoopFree with the Litter-Robot 5: ScoopFree won on upfront cost but lost on odor control and operation; lists the Classic at $99, a 1 year limited warranty and 5, 10 or 20 minute delays.
- Cats.com (Litter-Robot vs ScoopFree) · 4/5
- Older test of the original ScoopFree: well made with a sturdy metal rake, cleans about 20 minutes after the cat leaves, crystal litter only; the reviewer's cat refused it for about two months. This was an earlier version, not the current Crystal Classic.
