I'm considering purchasing this cat-litter and would like to know how well it controls odors?

Very well! The clumps stay nice and tight, keeping the odor in. The only time I notice an odor is if I've neglected the box for more than a few days, or when it's time to change the box completely.

This litter does not contain deodorants or perfumes to disguise odor. The secret to litter box odor control is to scoop the box frequently. Having said that, I love this litter! They are not kidding when they advertise 99.9% dust free.

Agree with the other answers,funny the other day it occurred to me there was no !longer any odor from cat box in my apartment, something I've never experienced consitenly before this litter.

The odor control of the cat litter is lacking in my opinion. However, the odor problem was solved very easily by adding some activated carbon to each cat litter box and then mixing up the activated carbon and cat litter. That makes Precious Cat Ultra Premium Clumping Cat Litter perfect for me and my cats.Sometimes the solution to a problem is so simple. Activated carbon does wonders for odors, and just not cat litter.

I cannot speak for cats but it does a great job eliminating any dog odor. My sister is very alergic to dogs, i put that in her room when she came for a visit and she had no alergy problems of any kind.

I don't think it works very well at all. It is very noisy. Mine is plugged in just about in the littet box. It does not do very well with these odors.

I would say no, I use it for odor control because I have a litter box I use the same fragrance I use in my rainbow vacuum cleaner and I also love the sound for sleeping. If it brakes I will get a new one.

I have only had the Lucky Champ Litter container; but, I am very happy with it. It is easy to change; as others have said. It does stink when you are putting new 'deposits' in it, but I just use Fabreze spray and carpet deodarizer, and that takes care of it....I have three cats, and change it twice a week just because we have only one weekly trash pickup out here and want to get rid of as much of it as possible. I hope this helps.

Same as the other response posted, my cats hated this stuff - both had accidents outside of the box when I switched to this new litter. It is not perfumed but it does not smell good either - I dread to think what it may have smelled like had my cats actually used it. Definitely no odor control. Some people love and swear by the stuff, but my cats have never disliked something so much.

We usually try to clean it every three months. If you use a premium clumping litter, it should work well. We only use for one cat in our household. No, the cover doesn't interfere with the waste collection. Our only issue was the turn table motor on the first unit died after a year and a half and we replaced the entire unit. This really has reduced the box odor. We dump the collection bag every three/four days.

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.

I've had trouble with one area in my house with cat urine from a previous tenant. This solution works pretty well. The smell will be gone for quite awhile and most of the time i don't notice it. I do typically go over it, for good measure, even when I cant smell it when I have to clean up one of the dogs messes and have solution left over. I think part of my problem is that the urine got on the tack strips which is why every once in awhile the smell will be noticeable.

It contained smell pretty well. I had 2 cats using the litter box so had to keep it scooped real often.

Bought it for my daughter. They have 2 cats and she dumps it every 2 weeks. She says there is no odor and it is absolutly the best. Bags easy to refill and genie easy to clean.

After some trial and error I found the BEST litter to use is Ultra/LitterPearls microcrystals! (I have 5 cats using this litter box and my visitors can't smell it!!). It absorbs great and they dont get scraped into the disposal hole by the scraper.

Our 18yr old cat was declawed before we adopted him, and yes he uses the box with this litter very successfully no problem. I don't think this litter is as good as fresh step for odor control but fresh step has a lot of dust compartively. This litter is as good or better clumping which is great. The price per pound is about half of mainstream brands which over time makes quite a difference. This litter ships free with Amazon prime, which sold me because I don't like lugging 40# of litter home from the market. :) I hope this works for you as well.

I bought it, and it works well. I plan to buy more. I have 6 cats, and I got rid of 2 litter boxes. I empty it only once a day, but in the middle of the day, I roll it over, and it collects the contents in the holder, and when you roll it back, your have a clean container. That helps. I read that sometime the litter will spill out when you roll it over, so when I assembled it, I used duck tape to enforce the middle, where it goes together, and I have never had the problem. Keep something,(I use a long handled wooden back scratcher) handy because sometime you will have to pry a lump from the bottom. You need to use a good litter that clumps.

We've never had any problems with odors. Would buy another one in a heartbeat.

Yes, I have three cats, of various ages, all three use it regularly. No issues. I think they like it because the litter stays much cleaner.

It seems very low dust to me. It also controls odor better than any litter I've ever used, and I think that's due, at least in part, to the fact that the odor doesn't get dispersed through flying dust.
