Litter Genie Litter Genie Standard Pail (Silver) Waste Disposal System

I highly recommend this product! Due to the layout of my home, my downstairs litterbox is in not the most ideal spot in the hall way from my livingroom yo my kitchen. Ive always tried keeping the odor down with multiple products in the litter, around the litter box ordor absorbers, a mini trash can with a lid, i even put the gain sented beads for laubdry on the garbage can but there was always that slight odor. Im always trying new things to help and this was such a game changer. My cat is almost 12 and i cant believe its taken me so long to find this product. Its super easy to change and set up. Absolutely worth it. It blocks 100% of odors. I hoped this would work well but its been way better than i expected. Its easy clean up to tie off the bag and toss each week on garbage night abd start fresh. My garbage outside doesnt ecen have the odor of cat litter. Of your debating or putting it off to tey sonetging else first for the odor just dont i promise its worth it.

This is genius! It is so simple and convenient I’d “almost” say it’s a pleasure to use… it certainly makes managing the litter trays a much much more pleasant job than it used to be.

I keep it right next to the litter tray and every time I walk past I glance to see if it’s been used.
If it has; I just grab the scoop (conveniently mounted on the side of the genie) and remove any clumps.

I’ve had it for a month now and here are my observations:

* In 4 weeks I have just emptied it for the second time, so for me it has indeed been two weeks per bag change. (My cat is an indoor/outdoor cat. I’ve found that since having this system, with a clean litter tray now always available, the litter tray is now first choice! Which means less cat poops to come across while working in my yard… bonus!

* I estimate that I used maybe 18-24″ of bag each time. (I used more bag length than needed the second time and had wasted space so I’ll watch that). Overall I’d guess for the 14′ cartridge length that I’ll get 9 bags full which is <$1/bag… but I'll start measuring and try to get 10 out of a cartridge.

* I’ve found it important that I use a clumping litter, and to keep it deep enough for poop to get buried and that you can easily scoop whole clumps without it bonding to the bottom of the tray – that way no soiled litter is left behind, and therefore no smell. I top up the litter as needed.

* I removed the hooded cover from my litter tray and now have it open. This is for my convenience as it makes it so much easier to keep on top of things by simply scooping anything I see whenever I walk past. (I did read that cats prefer an open tray anyway; closed boxes were apparently made for us humans to help contain smells and unsightly messes). On the downside though… Litter depth is still a work in progress: too deep and litter gets spread everywhere, too shallow and clumps stick to the tray bottom as previously mentioned.

* So far no marathon clean of the litter tray has been needed! Before this system I admit that I didn’t scoop as often as I should have done, which meant things got a bit messy. I would remove any business but not top up the litter, then when it got very low it was time to empty the whole tray and give it a good clean. Having the genie and really keeping on top of things means the litter actually stays clean.

* I periodically use a sanitizing wipe to clean it, particularly the inside black plastic cover of the bag cartridge. Simple.

There really is zero odor in the house.
I’ve even had comments from guests who are surprised when they see the litter tray and say they had no idea because they couldn’t smell a thing.

I have one small negative comment about the design: The catch that holds the bottom half closed doesn’t work very well. It barely catches and easily comes open if I pick it up. For me this doesn’t matter because I’m not picking it up and moving it anyway so I didn’t even deduct a star because of all the positives for me.

I don’t write reviews very often but the litter genie impressed me so much by the positive impact it has had.

Like my title says: best $20 I’ve spent in a while.
I would definitely recommend it to anyone sitting on the fence about whether or not to buy one.

I’m super sensitive to smells and due to the size of our apartment, we need to have the litter box in our bedroom. We used to have an automatic litter box that would come through and scoop the litter after our cat would use it. We had some parts wear out and were looking for a solution that would hopefully hide the smell more than that did (filled up quickly so it would just be open half the time). This is a low cost solution that works wonders. There is 0 smell once you put the litter in and close everything up. I used to be able to smell his litter once I walked into our apartment and haven’t had that issue since we have gotten this. Also want to note, the claim that the bags last up to 8 weeks is also accurate, we got this February 26 and just got to the end of the bag on April 18 (could have gotten through next week but used a little too much to tie a couple of times). So overall, it’s worth it. Keeps everything nice and clean and no smell.

I really like this litter pail! I have several of them as I have many cats. It keeps the smells from the used litter, urine and poop from penetrating the room! It is easy to use and doesn’t take up a lot of room and looks pleasing. The scoop that comes with it works great. After the included refill bags are used up, I use 8 gallon clear bags that I buy here on Amazon. All you have to do is, put the bag thru the center of the Genie bag refill, wrap the top of the garbage bag over the top of the Genie refill, tuck it slightly under the genie refill and place it back in place. Close the part under the lid and everything will stay in place when you deposit the waste into the container. When the bag gets full, just lift the lid and the next part under the lid and remove the bag and genie refill. Tie the bag up and dispose of the bag. Insert a new bag the same way and it is ready to use again. Simple and much less expensive that the Genie refills. Sorry, Genie. You can purchase a box of 300+ bags on Amazon for a great price. I buy the box of 330 Teivo 8 gallon trash bags and they work great! I would recommend this litter pail.

Not sure why I haven’t owned this sooner. It’s great for holding used litter until trash day with no smell coming from the unit. It holds a lot of cat litter. I’ve never filled it to capacity. I even like the scoop that came with it. I have a metal scoop but have been using the one it came with and it works great. It’s pretty easy to set up and doesn’t require a lot of time to reset it.

it’s a little flimsy but very easy to use once you figure out how the liner works. i wont be using them after the free pack runs out so im hoping regular trash bags will be good. it helps the smell and makes removing poo a little more fun and easy
