Litter Champ replacing our Litter Lockers! No turning required A++
So far so good. Started using the Litter Champ 5 days ago and still haven't had to change the bag. We've used Litter Lockers for 2 yrs and with the Litter Champ you instantly enjoy the EASE of use. No turning of the handle, no touching the lid to lift like you have to with the Litter Locker.
PROS - CLEANER than Litter Locker, no turning required of the unit, don't have to touch the lid. Haven't noticed any odor from the bags - the fragrance mentioned in a previous review is extremely faint.
CONS - the magnet for the scoop is only on ONE side....we can't turn the unit to sit in our bathroom because the magnet faces the side we need to have flush with the wall. Bad design oversight on their part. I can probably super glue another magnet to the other side to remedy the problem.
The litter locker's main problem is having to rotate the large handle in the middle. Sometimes the bag slips off the turn shaft or when taking the bag out it snags and tears...
Love Those Indoor Cats, BUT....
We have three indoor cats and our cat boxes are kept in an area that human's dwell as well, so it has been a challenge to find a litter disposal system that works to keep the smell at a minimum.
I'm happy to report that this product works quite well and has done an outstanding job controlling the odor. The bag (while expensive to replace) is easy to change and the foot pedal to open the can works well.
This product would get a five star rating if the scoop were more sturdy or the opening was larger (to allow other scoops to be used). Because the opening in the can is sized for the provided scoop and you actually push it open to deposit the litter, you have to use their scoop. We've resorted to using our large metal scoop to loosen everything up, then use the plastic scoop to try and minimize the risk of the handle snapping.
Overall, it is a very good product and easy to use. While the bags are expensive to replace, we've had it about a month and...
Litter Chump
While better than just dumping litter into a bag, this product is inferior to Litter Locker products. First, the foot lever doesn't open the canister, but a lid over a rigid flap. To open the rigid flap in order to dispose of feces, you have to push down on it with the scoop that is full of feces and the bottom of which was also in the litter pan. This means the flap is contaminated--this is not a touch-free system. Second, the interior of the canister picked up the smell of feces on the very first use, so the unit smells even when it's empty. Because the bottom of the interior of the canister is not raised at the circumference (that is, it's not concave), you can't add a layer baking soda to decrease the smell. That's not odor free. Third, essentially you're just filling a bag with feces. This bag is quite heavy and really needs to be cut and tied off before it's so full that you can't use the interior cutter. You can use scissors, but the idea is that this is supposed to make life...
