Can anyone compare this to the litter genie? Are they about the same size? Are the refill bags longer? litter genie refills are expensive =(

I find that the bags for the lucky champ last longer. I found litter genie is better with odor control, but the champ's issue with odor is mostly when I am dumping litter into it. The smell that comes out when I push down on the trap door thingy can be pretty intense, and will take about a minute or two to dissipate. However, the litter I use might be to blame. Still, I find the champ more convenient and easier to deal with when it comes to dumping the litter and replacing the bag.

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.

We had the Litter Genie and replaced it with the Litter Champ. The Litter Champ refills last longer and we find them simple to replace. Overall the Litter Champ bag liners are a better value. The Litter Genie holds less litter (with our 2 cats we had to empty twice a week), and requires two hands to operate. None of the pet waste systems are inexpensive to use, but we have found the Litter Champ to be worth the investment :-)

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.

I've never used the litter genie,only because I came across this one first. I can say I am very satisfied with this one. I have 4 cats and a filler bag lasts me about 6weeks. I empty the bag/tie it off and remove litter once a week and I have never had any odor issues. Hope this helps.

I have a litter genie and the lucky champ. The litter genie is smaller and the bags are smaller. I think the bags are similar in price, you can look them up on amazon. However, I use the litter genie. I didn't like the Lucky Champ.

Ok, so I love this one. It is wayyyy bigger than the litter genie. However, the lucky champ bags are bio-degradable. Which means it is not good for smells. I buy odor trapping trashbags and they can be used in the Lucky Champ. And that has been awesome.

I wish I had read these answers before purchasing my Litter Genie. The Genie is not easy to use and holds a lot less than the Champ. We have 3 cats and I have to empty the Genie twice a week vs. the Champ once a week. However, if I can't get bags shipped to California, then I may have to use the Genie as my sole system.

We have had our cat for 4 years and I usually fill the Breeze system with an entire bag. And with Miss Katie, that amount of litter lasts for at least a month, if not longer. I am also very diligent in keeping the litter system clear so perhaps it lasts longer than if we used a smaller amount.

I use Natures Miracle intense defense clumping cat litter (PetSmart). It comes in a 40 lb bag (It may come smaller-- havent looked). I saved back a couple of Tidy Cats jugs (Tidy Cats DOSENT Work for me) and put the Matures Miracle in them for handy use. I have 2 litter boxes 1 upstairs and one downstairs and the stuff really works! if the hopper is stinky just put a cup or so of the litter in it the Contious Clean does a very good job of sifting out unclumped litter and only a bit of the loose stuff ends up in the hopper. Sometimes thats not enough to control the stinky stuff. Also I have the boxes on timers that runs 2 hours twice a day. I got those at Home Depot the 2 pack of GE times was only about $10.00. I think having the box run 4 hours a day instead of 24 hours a day will help extend the life of the things and having the waste sit buried with litter may help kill the odor. (Dosen't keep things stirred up all the time.)

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.

Not much difference except for the lid, which I think is a huge difference. The lid on the LitterLocker II is far superior to that of the Litter Genie. Easier to change too. It closes tighter and really keeps the odors away. I have not compared the bag cartridges and their capacities.

I have two cats, my siamese took to it as soon as I opened the door after running it the first time. My older cat took about 2 weeks to go from his old clumping litter to the Genie. Just leave the old box dirty and right next to the genie, eventually they will start using the clean box over their dirty one. Leave the Genie on manual mode until they are using the Genie for both for at least a couple weeks, then you can switch it to automatic.

you can buy the refills for the cat Litter Champ at Dr Fosters & Smith online! So weird you can't get them on Amazon but I hope they will fix that soon!!

It is similar I have been using the Mimi litter lately too because of the price. If I order again it will be natures miracle. Best of all other brands of crystal litter I have tried.

I have stuck with this but still not happy it would have been a pain to return it. I wished I had the litter genie! I don't go a full weeks before having to clean it out from the smell coming from it and I only have one kitty.

I had a Littermaid first & couldn't get it to cycle reliably. I also disliked having to buy fecal receptacles specially designed for the Littermaid. With the Litter Robot any small trash bags will work. It also does a better job of keeping the litter contained if you have a messy cat like mine. Litter Robot has a higher up front cost but I've owned it for over 5 years now & it still works.

My kitten does the same thing. I purchased the jumbo they are 20" x 14" and 61/2" deep. So far so much better. They work great as long as you fill it with lots of clumping litter. The baking soda helps keep the urine smell gone. As long as you scoop the poop, they work great! I also use the cat genie in conjction with the boxes and it's marvelous! so I just have to scoop the poop out and put it in an air tight bucket. My house smells great! hope this helps.

I've never used the litter genie, but I absolutely love my litter locker II. I've had it for over a year now and have 2 cats. So very happy I bought this. Easy to use and no smell. Even with 2 cats the bag refills last a long time.

Dr. Elsey's Precious Cat litter works amazingly well and is HIGHLY recommended by fellow Litter Robot owners. Clumps like cement with no gumminess or waste. One 40lb bag lasts me 3 months with two large male cats. Get it here for around $16, and if ur a prime member, with free 2-day shipping. Otherwise PetSmart carries it for around $18 per 40lb bag. Be careful with Amazon, tho. I've seen it as high as $26 with $15+ shipping. I live in a second story apartment, and LOVE that I can get UPS to deliver it to me free without my having to lug it up 18 stairs. Buy some... you won't be disappointed and ur LR will thank you...ur kitties, too ;-) Dr. Elsey's Precious Cat litter works amazingly well and is HIGHLY recommended by fellow Litter Robot owners.

The answers here are correct...just wanted to add that when you buy the LitterLocker II, it comes with instructions both with words and pictures. I promise it's way easier than it sounds and it really does work.

I think I buy the 40 lb. bag and have plenty left over. I have the jumbo disposable boxes. I have one cat. I fill the jumbo box 80% to the top and over time it decreases b/c of use. This litter is so absorbent, that I can just add more litter to return it to 80% once it gets too low. No odors, no urine gets to the bottom b/c the litter absorbs it so well and quickly. Best litter I ever bought.

Ana,I wouldn't call it a perfect fit. I have the same litter box, I had to play with the liner a bit but was ae to make it work just fine. It definitely fits better than the bag liners. What I like most about the liners is that unlike the plastic bag liners these do not tear when scooping. Plus they have small adhesive strips on both sides to hold the liner in place.

I think you get more feet of bags with liter genie plus.Other than that,not much difference.
