| | I couldn't believe any litter pan would get over a thousand reviews. That just goes to show how cats have so many of us thoroughly obsessed with them. I know I am. I have a 'new' 9 y/o kitty whose original person died. We are in very small one room space with small bathroom. With a regular pan and her digging a hole to China 2-3 times daily I got tired of sweeping 10 pounds of litter off floor to get into bathroom. So I looked for hooded pan. I had many misgivings about this roller derby gizmo, especially given the small space in our bathroom. But alas, I am giving it 5 stars. It is ingenious and works like a charm. I keep my laundry hamper on top of it to consolidate space. Then, while sitting on pot, I just lift hamper to side of tub reach over and roll the Omega pan upside down and back and pull the long rectangular tray out and dump in plastic bag. I also tried the World's Best litter (corn cob based - less dusty and safer for both of us and we are both pleased as peas in a pod. I recommended this to a friend in CA who bought the pan and is also very pleased with it. Try it, you'll love it!! |

| I had high hopes for this litter box. I only have one cat, about 7 years old, and she's a little bit on the small side (probably being a former feral cat stunted her growth). She has always had perfect litter training manners, never missed the box before or had an accident anywhere outside the box. My husband is not a "cat person" and he is very sensitive to the smell and litter getting tracked all over the bathroom and down the hallway. I did some research and decided to try a covered box to help with the smell problem. I'll admit I don't clean the box as often as I should, twice a week if I'm lucky. I thought this rolling box would make it easier, quicker, and more fun (?) for me, so I'd clean it more often...which would also help with the smell. I also got a bigger rug to put under the box, to help with the tracking problem, and switched to a low tracking litter.
I was happy with the box at first, but then my cat started pooping on the rug just outside the door to the box, and flinging a TON of litter out of the box into a big pile on the rug. I didn't get the large size since they didn't carry it in the store, my cat is small, and it might not fit in our small bathroom. I guess I didn't realize that the actual usable interior size of this regular sized box is much smaller than the dimensions listed here, since almost half of the box is used for the sifting part. The dimensions say 20" L X 17" W, but that's backwards. It should say that it is 17" long (from the front where the door is to the back) and maybe 15" wide inside at the most (since the sifting part takes up at least 5 inches, probably more). Maybe it's too small for her? She's had some behavioral problems since I got this litter box also, not sure if it's related or not. She used to be a very quiet and mellow cat, but lately she meows at me ALL the TIME, and started hitting my leg with her paw as I walk down the hall (towards the bathroom where this litter box is). I get the feeling she's trying to tell me something.
Anyway, it didn't turn out to be as easy as I thought to empty this litter box, since we have it in a small bathroom. First, I have to lift the box up out of the way on top of the toilet to clean up the mess on the rug underneath, then I have to put it back down, turn it sideways (since I can't roll it that way or would bump into the toilet), roll it, bang on the bottom to get the stuff stuck on the bottom, then roll it back, then empty out the tray, then turn it on its back, pour in some fresh clean litter, turn it back upright, and sort of shake it to make sure the litter is level. I am always surprised at how much loose litter is in the tray. It looks wet, and STINKS (how is this better than before?) so maybe the potty clumps break apart during the rolling and banging process? Maybe I'm using the wrong litter, or maybe you need to empty this thing daily for it to clump properly? The last straw was when one of the back clips broke, and litter spills out onto the floor every time. So, I have to sweep the floor a second time after I'm all done with this already lengthy process. My husband is pretty handy, so I'm sure he could fashion some bolts or something to keep it closed, but I've had enough.
The one good thing I will say is that it does improve the smell overall from day to day, but I think that would be true of any covered litter box. And, as I said, the smell is MUCH worse while I'm emptying it. I'm normally not that sensitive to kitty litter smell, but this makes me gag. But it's too big and bulky (yet too small on the inside where it counts), the clips are poorly constructed, my cat apparently hates it, and there is litter and poop everywhere! I guess I'll try a bigger (read: longer than 17", and between 15 and 20" wide) covered litter box, or maybe that one where the door is on the top, to hopefully prevent her from flinging the litter out of the box. Wish me luck! |

| | Bought this based on the glowing reviews, but it didn't work out. I used it with World's Best Cat Litter, which is a clumping litter but possibly too soft for this box. The urine-soaked litter would get caught in the trap and stay there, and since the box is in my bedroom closet, the urine smell would linger. Also, the area in which the cat does his business is really small, since half the box is taken up with the screened off compartment; when he started digging, he would throw litter out the front-facing door. The self-cleaning aspect was moot; sure, I collected a lot of waste in the little tray, but even after emptying it out I still had to dig around to get it clean. I traded this in a for Clevercat Top-Entry Box, which works much better in my closet (no litter getting thrown everywhere). |
| I admit I was skeptical that cleaning a litter box could be any easier, but it really is. It's not the miracle box, but if you're tired of sifting through litter with a hand-tool, this takes care of that.
To empty it, all you do is roll it almost upside down, and all the loose litter falls through a sift. The chunks fall to the top and are caught in a thin tray; when you are finished, you pull the tray out and dump it.
I have 3 cats, and when I don't empty it often enough it can be even more of a hassle to empty (the tray and opening aren't that large), and sometimes the smaller chunks fall through the grate, but if you empty it regularly and do a more intense clean every once and a while, it works great.
Having a covered litter box is a help also, it greatly reduces the amount of litter scattered around the box.
I thought it rather expensive for a litter box, but considering how long I'll keep it, it's worth it. It's all plastic, and it sometimes seems the latches that keep the lid on are going to snap off, but so far no problems.
It was also a breeze to assemble; it comes with no more than a cardboard piece with a short list of instructions (snap this here, snap this here, voila).
I've had it a few months now, and consider it a worthwhile investment. |

| | I bought this product in order to speed up and make cleaning the cat litter box easier. Well, it worked, kind of. It is a vast improvement over a traditional litter box, but has a few flaws. First, the seperation grid that filters out the clumps is too big, so smaller clumps don't get picked up, and second, you have to clean it more often, since the remover scoop doesn't hold a lot of clumped material. But overall, I would say it was a good buy. PS, make sure you buy good clumping litter. I recommend Arm & Hammer. |
