Litter Genie Plus Pail (Silver) | Cat Litter Box Waste Disposal System for Odor Control | Includes 1 Square Refill Bag

This thing is a lifesaver. I was running out to the trash bins everyday after cleaning my cats litter box, then a friend told me about the Litter Genie and it is a game changer for sure. It holds a lot and keeps the smell contained to inside the bag. I have recommended this to other people who have cats. I could never go back to not having one of these. Highly highly recommended.

I gave it 5 stars because it's 10 x's better than an empty Tidy Cat container with a bag in it. The lid alone is so much better than my other system : ) My only real complaint is the size of of the opening. The scoop is a decent size and nice and sturdy, but the opening is much smaller than the lid itself. My boy loves his water...the end result is big peepee....hahahaha. If the inside lid was just 1" or 2" wider, it would make scooping a lot easier. I find myself wiping the inside lid about every other day : ( I also found that if I put my hand in the new bag all the way to the bottom, the waste doesn't back up. When it backs up I have to shake it down and that's annoying. The cut and knot system is great. The top is very top-heavy, so be sure to pull it away from the wall when you need to change the bag. Totally worth the money! It is actually stink-proof! And I have one of those "Smelly Cats" ! It's not perfect but it does the job. A small price to pay for containing the stink : ) I'm still working on the same 'bag' that came with the system.

It works wonderfully for blocking smells. This is my second one and for some reason the lid doesn’t close all the way, not flat down. It still doesn't smell so not a big issue.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Definitely helps with the smell. Saw a lot of recommendations and I agree. Only problem was the scooper holder didn't fit well and ended up breaking.

As someone who absolutely hates the smell of cat poo/pee this was an absolute lifesaver. It came completely set up and was so easy to just set down and start using. So worth the money!

Litter Genie is a cat litter disposal system that makes is easier and more convenient to scoop your cat's litter box frequently. More frequent scooping keeps litter box smells to a minimum which, in turn, makes it less likely that your cat will poop or pee somewhere outside the litter box.The way it works is this: You take a Litter Genie refill, which is basically a very long tube of plastic that is scrunched up into a plastic holder, and install it under the snap down refill holder (which is very much like a toilet seat with a lid.) There are directions included with the Litter Genie that are really good and show you exactly how to install the refill. You will be pulling down at least a foot of the film and then tying a knot in the bottom.Once you get the refill part installed, here's how to use it. When you're ready to scoop your cat's litter box, open the top lid. Scoop the poo and clumped litter into the toilet seat-like opening. When the upper area becomes full, grasp the plastic flange that is located on the front toward the middle and push down on the little button (located in the flange) while pulling the flange toward you. If you look through the top opening, you will see that pulling the flange releases the soiled litter into the bottom area of the Litter Genie. When it has passed through to the bottom, release the flange and the separator will snap back into place. This separator serves as an odor barrier so that days worth of dirty litter can be stored in the Genie without the foul smell.When the bottom becomes full, you'll need to empty it. The way you go this is to push the button on the middle front of the Genie that is located just beneath where the Genie is divided in half. Pushing the button releases the top half of the Genie so you can fold it back. You can then see the full plastic bag at the bottom. Just pull down more film from the top and then slide it into the cutter located just above the hinge in the back. It is clearly marker CUTTER. You want to be sure to leave enough film at the top of the full bag after you cut so that you can easily tie a knot to close it for disposal. Tie the knot and then lift the full bag out of the Genie. Finally, pull down about a foot of fresh film and tie a knot at the bottom. That's it.The Litter Genie comes with the Genie itself, one refill, one litter scoop, the scoop holder you hang off the side of the Genie and the instruction manual. The scoop is a good quality, plastic one but I already have a metal scoop I really like and it fits perfectly in the holder.I bought a Litter Genie a couple of years ago for my daughter, who had 3 cats at the time. She lives in a city where they have banned the plastic grocery bags, which she had previously been using. This was such a huge improvement for them over the old method because one of her cats had a health issue that caused him to make the smelliest poo - several times a day. Litter Genie made it easy to scoop immediately after he pooped and it truly kept the smell confined to the bottom of the Genie. They are still using it every day and it still performs great.I have 5 cats and I thought one Genie wouldn't be able to keep up with all of the daily waste. Then someone mentioned the silver one was on sale for ~$10, so I bought 3 for my house. (It's more of a battleship grey color than silver.) I keep one downstairs where I have 2 litter boxes and I keep the other two upstairs, where I have 4 litter boxes. This is working very well for me. With 3 Genies, I'm only having to empty them about once a week.Of course, the biggest expense is the refills. Personally, I think they are way overpriced - kinda like ink cartridges for printers. So this is a major thing you want to consider before buying Litter Genie. Looking for them on sale and on eBay and buying whenever you find a good deal can mitigate the costs. Also, you CAN use tall kitchen trash bags as a substitute for the refills. It does work and the Genie still keeps the smells trapped in the bottom, but it's not quite as convenient. Still, I like knowing I can do this just in case I run out of Genie refills and haven't ordered more.If you have a litter box in your house that must be scooped, you might like the Litter Genie as much as I do.

You can never have a kitty and not have one of these. They are fantastic. They keep the smell out and they are just wonderful. I will never go with that one if possible

What can I say... where has the Litter Genie been all my life? How did I not know about this sooner? Check out the multitude of videos out there about the Litter Genie and how easy and convenient it is to use and change the bags. This is just the best system for the daily cleaning of the cat box. The "bag" lasts a long time. Cutting it, tying it off and throwing away the yuck is easy. It really locks in the odor and makes disposing of kitty waste a breeze. Be aware that this product has specific bag refills but they are very reasonable and last a long time. The good reviews out there don't lie, this is a fantastic product that I wish I'd found decades ago! I'm very happy with this purchase in every way.
