The hardest part of assemply is the scoop holder. It makes no sense! How does it attach?

With the front of the unit facing you, push the button on the lower half of the Genie and push the upper half of the unit as far back as it will go. Just below the rim on lower left half of the unit are two small holes. (Another way to locate these holes is to run the fingers on your left hand around the rim of the lower unit.) With the holder's opening facing up, gently push the plastic tabs on the scoop holder into the holes until it is secured to the base; close the unit. You are now ready to place the scooper into the holder.

Just want to add - the attachment place is on both the left and right sides of the genie. You can attach e scoop to whichever side works best for you. I have mine attached on the right side.

Press the button in front. Pull up the top portion, look at the side, you will see two holes. The scoop holder has two notches that will fit into the holes. Put the lid down. :)

It's tough, but you just pull them apart. It helps if you press along the inside edge while you pull. They just snap together and it's very sturdy.

After assembling the unit I put in clumping litter, not exceeding the fill line. I ran the motor once after pushing power and it got about 3/4 of the way down to just where the scooper arms start to engage, the motor hung up on that and would not proceed any further, so the scoop tray never actually had anything fall into it.

There is a plastic screw that is flush within the top tier. Someone posted a picture of the screw being used to secure the bottom tier. It is the same screw used to secure the top tier when fully assembled.

Hi! You have to thread it through the rack and there are side attachments in velcro. It's pretty easy to attach and very stable. I hope this helps!

I would love to help you but I am not able to. I just kept trying different ways to assemble it and finally it came together. Why the company didn't either include directions or print them on the carton is beyond me. Sorry (I hate to admit it, but I am also an engineer)!

There was a paper that came with mine. You have the back and two sides. With the back there are hooked rods holding the sides on. The hook has an open end, have the open end part of the hook facing away from you bring the sides in making a box with only three sides, then put the bottom rack on first then the middle then the top. Should be done now the little rods that come with it are dividers for the canned goods. the hook goes over each section of racks. 2 dividers to each rack. Good Luck!

Took me forever to figure it out too, you gotta lift the latch. Which is directly Under the middle black logo.After you do it once it becomes much easier

Well, I'm two years too late to help GC, but here's the easiest way I've found after assembling 3 small 3-shelf units: Place one shelf upside down on carpet and put the screwed-together legs upside down in the corner holes. Place clips where you want them for the bottom shelf. Pick a spot, attach the clip, and slide it up or down slowly until it clicks into place. Snap the other half of the clip into the first one's indentations. Since the legs are upside down, make sure the word "top" is pointing DOWN. Do this for all 4 legs and then slide the shelf up to the clips, getting it as tight as possible. Carefully turn the unit right-side-up and press down firmly (put your weight into it) on the shelf until it is in place on all 4 corners. Test it by lifting the unit off the floor by the shelf, not the legs; repeat pressing down if necessary until it holds together when lifted. Position the next set of clips and slide the next shelf down and into place. Repeat until done, being sure to test each shelf as you go, and voila, instant super heavy duty, super easy, even fairly attractive shelving! I really love these things, best deal around!

I have had difficulty re assembling it. Just need to make sure that the filter is shoved in real tight and then try to line up the nubs to snap back together. Patience is a virtue!

You snap it together and then put it in the rubber piece. It's a little hard.

I am about to buy this, so I have no experience with it, just with other 7th Gen products, but it occurred to me that if finding the scoop is a general problem, I would save the scoop from a previous box.

None it easily screws together by hand...I did use a rubber mallet to gently tap the selves into place which makes it a bit easier, but you can do the whole thing without it. If you have the version with wheels, a wrench is supplied to tighten the wheels in place. It is very easy to put together, and the instructions are easy to follow. A stepstool and a helper is useful in placing the higher shelves, but I put the whole thing together by myself in just over half an hour, and I'm no great handyman...Hope that helps.

I just purchased one of these and had the same question. Why does this happen? I wish I would have seen your comment BEFORE I purchased. ALready seems like such a hassle to clean every day and the cute little brush at the end of the scoop doesn't help.

I think you need to use crystals, but like other people have said, there's a reusable tray you can buy and I also saw some other crystal litter (that is probably cheaper) that you can buy to go with that. So basically, it doesn't have to be ScoopFree necessarily, but I'm pretty sure it can't be anything but the crystal kind.
