Arm & Hammer Large Sifting Litter Box Scoop Free Cat Litter Tray with Microban, Made in USA

Cheap and it Works!
PROs1. I purchased horse pine bed pellets from a Tractor Supply Store ( their own farm store brand) for $6 for a huge bag. I drove 40 minutes to get to that store and purchased 2 bags which will take forever for my cats to go though. Pellets much cheaper than scoopable litter.2. Pellets do turn to sawdust when wet. It can stink if too much wet litter is on the bottom of the brown lower pan and cannot dry out easily. That is why I elevated the white hole pan above it with 5 Chef Boyardee (microwavable) containers (glued to bottom of white pan) so the brown pan can hold more sawdust between emptying and to get more air circulating between brown pan bottom and white hole pan to help dry wet pellets/saw dust out. No more smell.3. I purchased TWO of these litter boxes. I put TWO brown pans inside each other and then put one white hole pan on top of the brown pans and set the rest of the 2nd litter pan in the garage. That way, I can shake the white hole pan into the brown pan and remove the brown pan with litter and set the white hole pan on the 2nd clean brown pan. I then take the 1st brown pan with sawdust in it to the compost pile and dump it. If it needs it I will hose it down in the backyard and let it dry and then place it under the brown pan. Rotating brown pans makes everything easier.4. The white hole pan is dishwasher safe if used on top shelf of dishwasher. Someone put a large sticker on the bottom of the white hole pan covering the holes. It was taking me forever to scrap all the sticker off each and every little hole. I got frustrated and put the white hole pan in my dishwasher top shelf on 1 hour clean and viola – the sticker came off.5. Sawdust is so MUCH LIGHTER than wet half clumped scoopable litter. When I carry the brown bottom pan filled with sawdust to the compost bin outside it is very very light.CONs1) The white “HOLE” pan is too low to the bottom of the brown pan. I read where someone glued pipe ends to bottom of white hole pan but being cheap, I glued 5 empty Chef Boyardee microwave containers (face down) to the bottom of the white hole pan. 4 in each corner and one in the middle as I have a fat cat. These empty Chef Boyardee containers are high enough to allow litter to fall threw the holes and fill the brown pan below. I can also pick up the white hole pan and shake it and the sawdust sifts though the holes into the area beneath.2) It was bit of trouble to get my old cat to use it. I had to put TWO litter pans next to each other. One with scoopable litter and one with pellets. I then put a few bits of her poo in the pellet litter along with a bit of scooapble litter wet with her urine. Then I STOPPED cleaning the scooble litter pan – GROSS. She kept stubbornly using it until the entire top was hard/crusted over. Then she did her business in one of the bedrooms so I closed ALL DOORS. FINALLY she used the pellet litter box and she has been using it every since. My cat is a digger and she gets pellets on the floor but they are easier to sweep up than litter and not tracked as easily either.I am going to cut a hole in the side of a large plastic tub and put my Arm/Hammer sift litter tray inside it to help contain the pellets as my cat really goes to town. To be fair I was going to do this if i had kept using scoopable litter also because my cat is messy.I have tried the crystal litter boxes, the litter box where urine runs through the litter and pools in bottom and you empty it (THE ABSOLUTE WORST MOST DISGUSTING litter box ever) and several other weird models that uses alternatives to scooble litter. I went though a dozen scooble litter types from SamsClub to everything on Amazon but nothing truly clumps. I tried several alternatives to scoopable litters like litter made from grain, newspapers, etc….all over hyped. Tidy Cat changed its formula awhile back and now urine does not clump but falls apart stinking up the litter box or I would never have been on the search for a different litter box. I have to thank Tidy Cat for me finding this litter sifting box and using horse bed pine pellets.

Smart concept, works well. On the smaller side and some unexpected cleaning necessary
I’ve scooped litter boxes my entire life, so I’ve become accustomed to it. However, other people in the house are not thrilled with the concept, so I figured a sifting box would solve the problem. In short, the answer is yes, but it’s not perfect. I’ll bullet my pros/cons.Pros:- If you use it like a normal litter box, you basically get two litter boxes and a sifter for almost no cost.- The sifter works well. It’s going to let the smaller pellets or broken clumps through, but that’ll be taken care of if you are properly replacing all of the litter routinely. (Best for your cat’s health)- It is built well. The bins are not flimsy.Cons:- Like many are saying, this is on the smaller side. Would definitely not recommend for more than one cat. My 11 year old, 10 lb Tortie seems a bit scrunched in it compared to what we’ve used in the past.- The lift, sift, cycle, repeat system is a good idea, but if you aren’t used to regularly washing out the bins, you wont like this. Once you cycle through, the unused bin sits in pieces that have been dirtied with soiled litter. As you continue to cycle, it will rub off on the outside of the bin, so it gets messy pretty quickly.Personally, I will keep scooping the litter and my family can use the sifter. I clean the litter box frequently anyway. It’s a good idea and works as it is supposed to. It just is a bit small and requires some unexpected cleaning on the outside of each bin after a couple rotations.

The best cat litter period. So easy and fast to use.
I have done everything possible to find the perfect cat litter box that requires as little engagement as possible with changing litter and throwing out poop as oftern as possible. I noticed for the past 6 months my cat has pooped outside the liter box even when its was clean and filled. I hear it could be medical, it wasn’t, I heard it could be something emotional but nothing new happened or changed, I realized that even after 3 years she didn’t like the pine pellet litter I had been using since I adopted her, I thought it was more eco-friendly and safe for her and the enviroment, but is was harder to clean and I was using a standard cta litter box that was a dreaded experience to clean, first I changed the cat litter to the standard Fresh Step non-clumping, then I ordered this cat litter, the moment I purchased this one and saw how fast it takes to siffer the usable litter into an alternate pan and the ease of how it seperated the poop apart, i was sold. I timed myself and it took a total of 30 seconds to clean the litter and dicard the poop into the garbage. I change the litter compleltely every 3 days and that takes less than 2 minutes. It’s so simple and fast. Now my cat no longer poops outside the box and I don’t dread scooping and cleaning the litter like I used to. It was so cheap yet it solved my problem immediately.

simple to use, less than 2 minutes a day makes maintanence a breeze

Very easy to use and makes the task of cleaning the litter box a lot faster. my only comment would be the size, it works for kittens but might be a little small for big cats.
