I had one (original one) and thought it was rubbish.  It got full in a couple of days and it was really smelly when you took the lid off - it just relies on a thick plastic bag to contain the smell (no deodoriser or filter).  And if I didn't put the litter in nappy sacks first, I'd have ended up with soiled cat litter all over the place when I emptied it as the bag split on more than once occasion.  The refills were expensive too so all in all I decided it was  more trouble than it was worth.  I just empty into nappy sacks now and dump them in the bathroom until I take them out to the bin.

i bought one from zooplus, £19.99 reduced to £9.99....

after 3 days it is full!!!! i thought it wassupposed to store upto several weeks and if you don't put 'heavy' soiled litter then it doesn't work properly,  really not inpressed 


In that case I would contact them and say it does not work as described and therefore not fit for the purpose If they don't take it back you advise them you will contact trading standards. Having said that when they talk of it storing for several weeks, they possibly did their trials with litter for 1 cat so if you have more than one cat you need to ask how many weeks they consider several the count your cats ;D and do a bit of X &  dividing.

I had that. Started turning it half way to last twice as long. That worked but was the stinkiest thing in the whole world when you came to empty it!

It's good old nappy bags and a walk to the wheelie bin for me now!

Oh and not forgetting the really annoying bit where you don't realise it's full and the poop you've just deposited ends up falling out the end  :sick:

Get it on eBay  ;)
