When it's time to get rid of the sifted waste, simply pull-out the waste bin, remove the filled liner, discard, and replace with another SmartSift Biodegradable Replacement Liner. However, we found out that we could line the drawer with the (larger) base liners instead of the (smaller) drawer liners; when the time to change the litter comes, the larger bag allows us to empty all remaining litter into the drawer and dispose of it in one go.

Or, you could probably save cash by using a bin liner alternative that isn’t bespoke - afterall, our feline friends won’t be using this compartment to toilet, so clawing won’t be an issue either. This unit is a pain to clean, in addition to the previous criticism, due to litter getting into all available corners.It sounded a bit too good to be true and I can report that from a cat's perspective it was also somewhat lacking. Catit SmartSift is the most modern and revolutionary cat litter box in the world, specially created for the cleanest cats. Yes, clean litter does go in the bin, if you don't follow the instructions and put litter ABOVE the line that is clearly in there. I may have to properly clean the unlined tray sometime in the future but it's easy to take apart so it's not a problem for me.

I had the impression it wouldn't be large enough for the cats to feel comfortable and be persuaded to use it.I previously bought another litter box with a similar sifter built in but the problem with it was that you have to roll it upside down to sift it which still requires effort and strength that I don't often have. Coincidentally I’d just bought myself a ‘Litter Locker’ the previous week and was concerned this might be redundant and a waste of cash.

Besides the easy-to-use lever system, the cat pan also includes a carbon pad that helps control odors.You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. You're much better off putting in a little extra effort with a litter tray, or an enclosed one if you're concerned of the smell. The footprint of the box is similar to a large ordinary litter tray, where it is bigger is the height as the waste drawer is at the bottom, then the litter sifting tray is on top, around that is the hood so as long as you have a place that can accommodate the height it is not a problem. By over filling the bowl (due to the lack of information in the manual telling me the right amount to put in), after many cranks, the "plug" for the arm itself has warped the surrounding socket.
