Have both, only use litter locker, hate the genie. Amazon quit selling refills for litter locker, had to purchase dr. Foster and smith. Would not live without litter locker/ great product, I own two, one, the spring broke, I had for a while and have three cats so understandable. The genie is messy, harder to use, don't understand why all the stores sell this product and not litter locker. I Give the genie a 3/locker a 9.........................

I'm not familiar with the litter locker,but I have three litter genie's, and they are awesome!! Very easy to use, and there is no odor from the cat room. Highly recommend this product. Ron Rocha

Terrifically well! It hides the clumps and is odor proof. Depending upon how many cats you have, one ring containing the bag lasts for 1-2 months. I starting mine a little after Xmas and have emptied it twice and still have more plastic sleeve left. I understand it is very similar to a diaper genie (though I never used one of those and don't know. Anyway -- I gave one to my sister and she loves it too. Good luck; I think you'll like it very much.

I have not had a litter genie, but I have other products very similar to this. This is much bigger than anything I have used before. The bag is a single ring which you tie off to size - it has a handy built in razor to cut the bag loose when the chamber is full. I clean my box twice a day for one cat & find I have to empty the chamber about once a week. It is easy to shop around for the refills and have found pretty good prices for them. It is also nice the these bags are biodegradable plastic - still sturdy enough for their purpose here.

I love Clump & Seal. The litter box is easy to clean because eveyrthing clumps together. I use Prime so it's delivered to my door. The box is heavy.

I used to have one like this without the vent at the top. I find that this does really well with smell as long as you keep up with the cleaning. I also use newspaper as a liner on the floor of it. And Clump-n-Seal litter creates no smell. Love this litter box.

I hope this response answers any questions you may have. We have tried so many litter boxes and been so disappointed, not to mention the money wasted. Then we discovered the Omega Paw LitterSystem - inexpensive, no electronics, simple and efficient. No loud noises, no mess, no more odor - it works like a charm!! I highly recommend that you google the product and watch the several youtube videos. Then order one. Add a litter genie to simplify disposal and go back to enjoying your kitties!

I have neighbors who have the Litter Genie and I prefer this one much more than the Genie. For one thing, they don't have a foot pedal to lift the lid, you have to lift it manually. Also, the inside seems much smaller and holds less, needs to be emptied more often

Sorry I can't help you about the litter genie, but I bought this chest and it is really great. As we were putting it together, the cat went inside the box to hide. She loves the chest. I went to Walmart and bought a large plastic storage box and it works great. I recommend it highly.

I use Tidy Cat clumping litter and so far have had no problems. I LOVE my litter champ. Just had to change the bag system for the first time....easier than I was expecting. Followed the directions, no problems.

I did and do! In fact, I had three Littermaids (one after another, after each one broke), and now own two Litter Robots for my three cats. I also have cleaned a Littermaid monthly for years, and can tell you the Litter Robot is a LOT cleaner and easier to clean when you want to do it. The old Littermaids (before they became really bad quality) weren't bad. My first one broke because the line (that cord that used to stick out when the rake went forward) frayed and eventually broke. The two that followed both had the motors go, since I had a 19-pound male with kidney issues and the clumps were just too large and heavy for the motor. The current Littermaids (and I think the company is now defunct) have terrible motors, cheap plastic tray bottom, and don't get everything into the waste tray. I do not recommend them, period. Litter Robot: I have had one for about 6 years now, and the second one for about two years (when I got a third cat, decided we needed two). It is easy to use, easy to maintain, fits (despite looking large) in about the same footprint as a Littermaid, inexpensive to use after the initial cost (I use regular kitchen bags with flaps in the waste drawer rather than the ones they sell, and yes, you do use up less litter than the Littermaid did -- not sure how)...I LOVE my Litter Robots. My only caveat is that older cats might not want to switch into it, especially if they have never used a covered box. Customer service is fantastic (yes, I have had to send the bottom back for service), even if you are just calling with a "stupid" question. I could and have given lectures to people who stare at the spaceship in my house on why this is the best automated litter box on the market...:) A note: it says the Litter Robot is made to use all clumping litter including Swheat Scoop -- my experience living in a hot, humid climate is the very fine clumping litters don't work as well. I use Dr. Elsey's unscented clay now, and take the bag of waste clumps out of each box twice a week. If you get one, have fun!

I guess you could do that.... It would probably look homemade, but if that doesn't bother you, go for it. I love not having the litter tracked out onto my floor and my cat doesn't mind the different styled container. It's a win-win for me.

That is correct. What I do is tie the knot as close to the end as possible and them leave as much bag to fill the bottom of the Locker as possible. It also depends on how many cats you have. If you have one, it will last longer and you may not have to start a new bag as often. Also, to save money, buy the Diaper Gennie's. They cost less and will fit the Litter locker. Just make sure they are the same shape as the Locker refills. I also have a Litter Gennie, but the refills are expensive and they don't make the Diaper refills in the same shape! : ( This is worth it, just to keep the odor down and not having to dump the waste in the trash everyday.

Absolutely! I have been using this for aprox 4 years now and will never go back to the other litter options! Yesterday's news leaves less tracking, less odor and is so much easier to manage. In fact, I fill the litter box only once weekly, but remove the solid waste daily by flushing in our toilet. It is incredibly freeing from what used to be my routine! I only have one cat. So if you have many cats this could be a bit expensive compared with the alternatives....but it is worth it for me. I highly recommend it.

One is made by the same people who make the Scoopfree box. The Forever Litter tray has free shipping (so add 7.99 to that 'cheaper' tray). Both trays have the nose guard. Litterworks screws on, and Forever tray clips on. I remove mine when I empty the tray. Only the Forever litter tray has the additional guard to help seal up the used litter compartment. This keeps it from spilling outside the box if it overfills. A bit of extra protection. I, personally, like the Forever tray. I like the square edge design inside. To me, it's easier to get a scoop into the clean out the corners plus I don't need a special tool. The net result is an additional $14, which I would pay to get the extra guard for the front of the tray and the square corner design.

I have two cats and they both use this one just fine. They just keep it busy :) been happy with it so far. It can get a little temperamental at times if you move it from one location to another (adjusting it so it will recognize when a cat gets in it) and it is not the easiest to clean. It's also a little loud but not obnoxious. Make sure you put a big bag in the drawer as a liner because it's not fun if the bag comes loose or overflows. My 2 cats adjusted to it in a day. Very expensive but it's been worth it so far. Hope this helps.

It seems to work great for my 2 cats. I like the fact that it has the draw on the inside to keep scoops and bags in and out of the way. I put a bath mat on the inside also and it keeps the litter mess on the inside.

I've had mine for over a year. It is very sturdy. I occasionally empty the litter and wash it out with bleach solution. I highly recommend this litter tray.
