Better than Litter Genie

I have had the Litter Champ for about a month. Compared to the Litter Genie it easier to use, larger and cleaner. The scoop's slats are too large and the hook used to hold it to the base fell off. But, to me, this is minor as I have been using a different scoop, anyway. Overall, I am very satisfied and would recommend it.

I really like this, as every time I walk by the litter box, I just check and scoop it into the Litter Genie. I need to empty it for the two cats about twice a week and their is no odor.

I love love love Litter Genies. They make me much more diligent about cleaning the litter box, especially since I live in a third floor walk-up apartment, where the dumpster is in the alley. I have one for each room with a litter box. I used to use a full size Litter Lifter, but the small opening of the Litter Genie meant that I was very clumsy and spilled a lot. I got travel size Litter Lifters and it solved that problem. The travel size Litter Lifters also fit in the scoop holder that comes with the Litter Genie. It doesn't fit super well, but it is usable.

Now we have two.
This is an awesome invention. I have known about diaper genies for babies for years, but whoever reapplied it to cats is a genius. Part of debating whether to open our home to cats again was the dreaded litter chore. But this litter genie makes it easy to clean the litter and dispose, helping mask odors and making the job simple. With two kittens in a two level home, we just bought a second one.

I originally purchased a PetMate Litter Locker because the refill cartridges are cheaper.  I fought with it for a couple of years and found that I could only use it for about six days without having to empty it - and emptying it was always challenging.  Just turning the knob on the Litter Locker was difficult if there was any litter in it.  Also, the liner would rip every other month or so and this was always a mess to deal with.

So, I finally tossed out my Litter Locker and bought a Litter Champ.  This product is designed far better.  Yes, the refill cartridges are more expensive.  However, I have two cats and I only have to insert a new cartridge every 2.5-3 months (I was lucky to get a few weeks out of the Litter Locker).  There is no turning of a knob involved.  It is just a simple, easy to use product that completely controls the litter odour.  I find that with my two cats I only have to empty it every two weeks - and the empty process is very easy.

I know that other reviewers have complained that the liners are strongly scented - but I think it is a clean scent.  It's also great that the liners are biodegradable.

I'd highly recommend this product!

This is a nice product that does what it is designed to do... it hides used cat litter and its odor. I imagined this to be like the Diaper Genie. It's not. Really, it's way better than the twist and push waste of time that the Diaper Genie is notorious for. I like this product way better!

The good:
+It is as attractive as a litter disposal system can be. It doesn't scream, "hey, I've got poop in here!"
+It doesn't stink. The litter box for my two cats is in the our workout room. The odor of feces and sweat used to compete... now it's just sweat.
+The cutting device makes it easy to tie off the full bag with little effort and no spillage.
+Assembly was easy. Less than 5 minutes from start to finish.
+One cartridge of inserts was included.

The bad:
+I wish it was taller so it could hold more. I have two siamese cats and I empty this 2-3 times a week.
+Cartridges could get expensive, but it is a product about ease, not about saving money.

Best of those tested.
I currently have three different litter systems going in my house for 2 indoor cats. My experience may be helpful to cat owners considering one of the three systems. (See below)

The Scoopfree system is the most ingenious, automated and expensive of the three systems. The main advantage is that your hand does not get close to poop. A motor drive scoop pushes the poop to a receptacle in the end of a replaceable box. You remove the box, put the lid back on it and throw it in the trash about once a week. The box is not small. You need to put it in a big black plastic bag to throw away. I have had the system about a month. The tines of the rake now have poop on them so if I were going to keep it, I would have to take it apart and wash it. Besides being way too expensive, the replacement boxes come in a case that has to be stored. For all of these reasons, but most importantly the high cost, the Scoopfree will go into the trash when the current supply of replacement boxes is used up. No sense keeping a bad system just because of its high initial cost.

The Breeze litterbox system is the second most expensive system to use and in some ways, it is the best. The pellets that the cat poops and pees on are expensive, but surprisingly few of them are used when one scoops the poop from the top. I could live with that expense.  Unfortunately, the pads are the weak point of this system. The cat pees onto the pellets. The pee runs through the pellets and drips into a diaper like pad below. Like all diapers, they leak. I typically end up throwing away a sopping, stinking pad, then having to carry a shallow pan of pee to the sink to wash it by hand.

This could be the best system, if the manufacturer would get rid of the pad, change the pan into a funnel, and have a chamber pot below, that I could dump and rinse. I have given this idea to the Breeze people. If they take my advice, this will be my system of choice.

As things now stand the standard litter box with clumping litter is the best system. It is simple, inexpensive, and easy to use. Like all systems that I have used, you have to attend to it regularly or it will stink. You will have to completely empty the sand and wash it about every three months. The hood and the flap will help keep odor in check.

I have not been paid by anyone for this review.

Every year that I have used a Diaper Genie for soiled diapers, I kept thinking someone should make one for kitty litter. Well, good news....Energizer did and it's a game changer. Tidy, no odor, easy to use, the best answer to cleaning out a cat box, storing the contents and discarding waste. You won't be disappointed.

Yes, it costs more.  Totally worth it.  Also works really well with the Litter Robot because the clumping is quite solid.

Normally when I change the waste bin on the litter robot, it emits an odor somewhere between "overpowering" and "lethal".  Using the Nature's Miracle, the smell was merely unpleasant and basically tolerable.  Unless I get my face right near the cat box, I can't smell much of anything, even with several days' waste of 2 cats collected in the bin.

With other litter, the clumps break up while the litter robot is cycling, so that you get "used" litter mixed in with the new litter, until the whole thing starts to smell pretty bad.  The Nature's Miracle stuff clumps well enough to decrease this problem pretty considerably.

So, through whatever odor-fighting agents are in the litter, plus the better clumping, the overall effect is a lot less odor coming from the cat box.  In my opinion it's a pretty drastic change from the store-brand stuff we had been using.  Totally worth the extra cash to cut down on "cat smell" in our small apartment.

The Good News: Litter boxes still must be scooped frequently - nothing changes with that part - but, using the Litter Genie, it isn't necessary to carry the soiled litter to the trash immediately.  This is a big plus for me, as multiple daily trips to the trash room 2 flights downstairs can now be avoided.  The soiled cat litter scent and the less than appealing visual mess is all contained in a fairly decent looking  contraption. The plastic  disposal liners are super heavy weight so no problems at all with them leaking or tearing or in any way not containing the used litter.  Once you figure out how to do it ( the directions could be more clear) tearing off the liner when it is full and pulling out more is pretty easy.  It works like a sausage casing that you knot at one end, fill up with used litter, then tear off and knot off the top end when it is full.  You pull out additional length that you knot off again and start over.  You get 3 full "sausages" from each refill cartridge.  For me with 2 cats, that is about 18 days per cartridge.

The Less Than Good News:  The refill cartridges aren't cheap; this is going to get expensive over time.  The used clumped litter does not easily fall down into the lower compartment as the opening is rather narrow.  The whole contraption needs to be cleaned as soiled litter gets stuck around the edges where it is dropped in .

Bottom Line:  I like it and I will continue to use it.  I clean the contraption each week when I discard the liner, and it isn't that big of deal.  Buying the refills on Amazon in quantity to qualify for free shipping helps to bring the price down.  Also, the Litter Genie is available at Bed, Bath and Beyond and you can use the coupons they send out all the time.  Price is better than Pet Co.

Awesome cheaper substitute for the cat genie granules.  Still expensive, but this will safe you a couple bucks.  Have been using it for the past couple months and have had no major issues.

A good friend of mine purchased the Genie for me. She has one and said how much she likes it. It is the best thing for getting rid of kitty litter. I would recommend this product to any one who has cats.

I have 3 cats and 2 litter boxes.  Cleaning the litter box became a chore that I loathed.  I use scoopable litter, and would double-bag plastic grocery bags to hold the waste.  I originally bought one Litter Genie Plus and would transport it to each litter box.  A week after using it, I bought a second one so that each litter box had it's own.  It has made cleaning out the litter box an easy, daily task rather than a loathed chore.  I empty them 2x a week,  on garbage days, and so far have not had any issues with them filling up or stinking.

As a new cat owner (I let a stray in on a cold winter night and she decided to keep us lol)  I quickly realized how much I was going to HATE dealing with a litter box and cat waste.  Keeping a wad of plastic grocery bags (that may or may not have holes in them) and then taking them down to the trash everyday just wasn't going to cut it.  I was actually on the fence about keeping the cat until I did a few things to make owning her substantially easier.  This product along with the great litter they sell here on Amazon plus a Cat Box/Washroom to hide the litter box has ensured Jinxy has a permanent home with us :)

Now about this product - it came packaged well and was super easy to setup for first use.  It includes the genie, a refill cartridge and a scoop.  Just pull the seal off of the supplied refill cartride, insert into the unit, pull the film through the hole to the bottom of the genie and then tie a knot in the bottom of the film - latch it closed and it's ready to use.
The usability of this product is spot on - it couldn't be easier to use!  Just pop the lid, dump the waste in the funnel shaped hole, close the lid then pull the spring-tensioned sliding seal and the waste drops down into the bag.  Let the seal go and you're done.  Clean, no smell and it holds about a week's worth of waste for a medium sized cat.

The only real issue I have with the product is that for something that sees daily use it is pretty flimsy...  The plastic of the genie itself is very thin - it could stand to be at least twice as thick.  I would easily pay twice as much for a heavier duty version.  For the price though it's really hard to complain, especially for all the benefits it brings to the table.

These work as expected with the litter genie! Love this combination!

These are life changing. The Litter Genie is perfect for me to hide all of the poops that I steal from the kittens. They fight me to save it, so this is great to have right there and be quick to change when I need.
