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.

Sturdy, Value for 2 boxes, 1 sifter. Easy to use.
Works Great, seems Sturdy. I wish it were available in Jumbo because I have one larger cat. I bought Jumbo Regular boxes and I USE the Sifting Box to Pour the Larger Box Into and Sift (which also leaves me 2 extra regular size boxes for my smaller cat (9-lbs). It works well for that and is large enough to pour the larger box into it without having to lift higher like for a sifting trash bin. I think it’s a good value with today’s prices.

Great for Picky Poopers
I got this because one of my cats decided she didn’t want to use the main litter box anymore and decided to use the carpet as her defecation grounds. So far, she has taken to it immediately and for an older + slightly chunky cat, she is easily able to get in and out of it. It’s a good height and fits the corner of the closet well, and has high enough sides it keeps the excess litter in. Since it’s coated in microban it doesn’t smell very much – unless they choose not to cover their poops of course. It’s also super easy to sift out the used litter and swap trays with little to no cleanup, so I’ll be getting more for my other boys!

I use it with wooden pellets, easy to use makes pellets go further by sifting the powered pellets. Very well made.

I was a bit skeptical of this product as, like other reviews have said, the pan is a bit small than other standard cat little boxes on the market. However my cats didn’t seem to mind and quickly took to using this litter box despite it being smaller than our last one. I think the important part here is it is so easy to clean because of the built-in sifting tray that I’ve gotten into the habit of cleaning the litter box once or twice a day. I do think a slightly larger tray option would be better for people who have more than two cats or just cats who are more active and eat more than mine. That being said, I think this is more than acceptable for one cat and should also fair well with two cats if they’re anything like mine.

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.
