Litter Genie Style Pail Cat Litter Box Waste Disposal System for Odor Control Includes 1 Square Refill Bag

Makes litter box maintenace much less of a chore
Litter Genie is a cat litter disposal system that makes is easier and more convenient to scoop your cat’s litter box frequently. More frequent scooping keeps litter box smells to a minimum which, in turn, makes it less likely that your cat will poop or pee somewhere outside the litter box.The way it works is this: You take a Litter Genie refill, which is basically a very long tube of plastic that is scrunched up into a plastic holder, and install it under the snap down refill holder (which is very much like a toilet seat with a lid.) There are directions included with the Litter Genie that are really good and show you exactly how to install the refill. You will be pulling down at least a foot of the film and then tying a knot in the bottom.Once you get the refill part installed, here’s how to use it. When you’re ready to scoop your cat’s litter box, open the top lid. Scoop the poo and clumped litter into the toilet seat-like opening. When the upper area becomes full, grasp the plastic flange that is located on the front toward the middle and push down on the little button (located in the flange) while pulling the flange toward you. If you look through the top opening, you will see that pulling the flange releases the soiled litter into the bottom area of the Litter Genie. When it has passed through to the bottom, release the flange and the separator will snap back into place. This separator serves as an odor barrier so that days worth of dirty litter can be stored in the Genie without the foul smell.When the bottom becomes full, you’ll need to empty it. The way you go this is to push the button on the middle front of the Genie that is located just beneath where the Genie is divided in half. Pushing the button releases the top half of the Genie so you can fold it back. You can then see the full plastic bag at the bottom. Just pull down more film from the top and then slide it into the cutter located just above the hinge in the back. It is clearly marker CUTTER. You want to be sure to leave enough film at the top of the full bag after you cut so that you can easily tie a knot to close it for disposal. Tie the knot and then lift the full bag out of the Genie. Finally, pull down about a foot of fresh film and tie a knot at the bottom. That’s it.The Litter Genie comes with the Genie itself, one refill, one litter scoop, the scoop holder you hang off the side of the Genie and the instruction manual. The scoop is a good quality, plastic one but I already have a metal scoop I really like and it fits perfectly in the holder.I bought a Litter Genie a couple of years ago for my daughter, who had 3 cats at the time. She lives in a city where they have banned the plastic grocery bags, which she had previously been using. This was such a huge improvement for them over the old method because one of her cats had a health issue that caused him to make the smelliest poo – several times a day. Litter Genie made it easy to scoop immediately after he pooped and it truly kept the smell confined to the bottom of the Genie. They are still using it every day and it still performs great.I have 5 cats and I thought one Genie wouldn’t be able to keep up with all of the daily waste. Then someone mentioned the silver one was on sale for ~$10, so I bought 3 for my house. (It’s more of a battleship grey color than silver.) I keep one downstairs where I have 2 litter boxes and I keep the other two upstairs, where I have 4 litter boxes. This is working very well for me. With 3 Genies, I’m only having to empty them about once a week.Of course, the biggest expense is the refills. Personally, I think they are way overpriced – kinda like ink cartridges for printers. So this is a major thing you want to consider before buying Litter Genie. Looking for them on sale and on eBay and buying whenever you find a good deal can mitigate the costs. Also, you CAN use tall kitchen trash bags as a substitute for the refills. It does work and the Genie still keeps the smells trapped in the bottom, but it’s not quite as convenient. Still, I like knowing I can do this just in case I run out of Genie refills and haven’t ordered more.If you have a litter box in your house that must be scooped, you might like the Litter Genie as much as I do.

Great deal for the work this Genie does!
This pail is AMAZING! It was a little confusing setting it up; however, the directions were able to get me through the process, and I think it is good after setup. I NEVER smell the contents, and my cat is ok with it being near its litterbox. It looks like a regular trashcan and does not take up a lot of space in the area I keep it. The price is good, and I feel it is cheap compared with how well it works. It is not flimsy or easy to tip over. Highly recommend!

Litter Genie grants all three wishes: odor control, convenience, and quality!
I have 2 cats, sharing one litter box, and boy do they leave a lot of, uh, “treasures”. I got the Litter Genie so I don’t have to get blasted in the face with the foulest of smells whenever I open the trash can. This thing does the job well, and holds a good amount of “treasure” before I have to dump the booty. And I like how you can tie off the bag at whatever length you like.My biggest gripe is the lid doesn’t latch closed, so if the cats are getting raucous and bump it over, it’ll just fly open and potentially spill whatever bits are inside. Also, the scoop is so-so. I use clumping clay litter, and the teeny-tiny clumps of pee can slip through the slits. But at least it’s better than nothing, and the holder comes in handy

Overall, we’ve been really happy with this purchase. It makes removing and keeping used kitty litter much easier and definitely reduces the awful smell, as it smartly locks the used litter inside. The bag dispenser is a super smart idea, too. My only complaint is that it probably isn’t big enough! Also, the entrance at the ‘neck’ of the container is a little narrow for the provided scoop, which means you need a good aim and a steady hand! But overall, a really worthwhile purchase for anyone with indoor cats.

It’s been two weeks and I just took out my first load! It’s been super awesome so far. No smell (except when you open the bin itself after a while gets pretty nasty.) but it’s so convenient to not have to make whole trips every day!! I really recommend to cat owners who may be disabled or have pain issues it will save ur life!! <3

It’s a good item but it came broken.
