Enclosed Stainless Steel Cat Litter Box with Lid, XL Extra Large Litter Box for Big Cats, Metal Litter Pan High Sided, Never Absorbs Odors, Anti-Urine Leakage, Easy Cleaning, Include Scoop

We just got this so I don't know yet how it hold up long term but I am hopeful. When I was getting the old plastic box ready to toss i could not believe the smell the plastic was holding on to. And how scratched up the box had gotten. I was feeling like the box itself holding scent was the reason the litter always seemed stinky even when clean so wanted to try stainless steel to alleviate that.So far so good with this box. One cat is kinda a fatty and she fits into this just fine. She is also a high pee-er and so far no leaks anywhere.Our old box had a lid and this doesn't, is think I prefer that actually because I can immediately see if the litter has been used and it reminds me to scoop it often. I also think my older cat prefers it more because she can move around better.Scooping it has been a breeze, nothing sticks. With the plastic I was always having to dig at wet clumps on the side of the box.I have high hopes that we will continue to like this box.

Extremely well built litter box with heavy duty , tall, siding to decrease flying litter. Set up is super easy! Will never go back to a plastic litter box again! I didn’t realize that plastic litter boxes exacerbate the smell of your cat’s urine , until I read about this stainless steel box. It is an Absolute Smell changer! I have not smelled any cat urine since we switched. And, there is far less cat litter being flung outside of the box. My only regret is that I wish i would have bought it sooner. If you are tired of smelly cat urine and litter everywhere outside your cat’s litter box, then this is a must buy!

I have 2 cats, one disabled and one elderly, and a pretty small apartment. The XXL litter box with raised walls is PERFECT. The size is big enough that I don't need more than one, and it fits perfectly in a cubby space in my apartment. This is ideal as I have had issues with my cats peeing out of the box due to being old/not having a foot, and now that is not a problem AT ALL!! They both also have no issues going in/out since there is the lower, open entrance. Scooping is easy also because it is nice & deep. Yes, some litter flakes escape sometimes, but it's significantly less than with your average litter box, and I feel you should always have a litter mat for extra bits of litter that escape anyways. I have tried at least 4 other types of litter boxes before finally deciding to invest in a nice, large one like this, and FINALLY I can say my cats' litter box area is PERFECT with no issues at all anymore!!! I couldn't be happier. :)

We purchased the open top model (Amazon seems to be mixing reviews for the open and closed (the one with the round hole in the top) versions). It's GRRRREAT (as Tony the Tiger used to say!). First, it's incredibly sturdy. Not that anyone's going to stand on it, but this should last for YEARS. Stainless doesn't hold smells like plastic can. It's nice and big, giving our two cats plenty of room to move around (they aren't huge, one's 11 and the other 10 lbs as adults), so I have no doubt that bigger (15-18 lb kitties) would do fine with this. Specifically bought this, with the high sides, because our little fella was peeing outside the back of our old box (which had a fairly high back wall, but still a couple inches shorter than this). No such problems any more! As a proof of concept I first (before sinking the big $ into this) bought a plastic bottom/top box. It worked, but was smaller and did NOT have the EXCELLENT design feature that this has - the plastic top edges OVERRIDE the upper lip of the stainless steel base/box. So even if little Lyle tinkles on the upper plastic part, the urine does not leak outside the box! Another reviewer said that it was hard to clean. I disagree. I think that it will depend more on the LITTER that you use. We use Dr. Elsey's and while there may be a slight sticking if there's a lot of urine in one spot, it easily comes off, especially after lifting up a big wet glob, then pushing a little dry litter over it and give it one more pass, away it goes. I've owned cats for nearly 50 years, and always used plastic boxes until now, and this is absolutely no worse, definitely BETTER than ANY plastic box I've EVER used! Now also I think the scooper you use will make a difference, too. The tiny little "toy" scooper they provide w/the system is, IMHO, useless. We've long used a metal (aluminum alloy) scooper (like the WePet you can find on Amazon) and its stiffness helps. Truly, difficult cleaning has NOT been an issue. Another reviewer had a concern that the rolled edges of the stainless steel box hadn't been done well, and that he/she got cut. I hope that they complained and got a new box, that's inexcusable for the manufacturer to ship something that could hurt someone. But having read that review, virtually the first thing I did was visually check the rolled edges and then ran my fingers all along every inch of the one we got, and NO problem with this. Hopefully that was a one-off problem that was corrected at the factory, but no way ours could cut someone. I would have sent it back immediately if there was an issue! The top plastic part is well made, it's a very solid, stiff plastic and it latches (one latch on each of the long sides) quickly and easily to the bottom steel; no way it can come off accidentally (for example when cat jumps out). You purposefully have to slightly pull out the latch on one side, release it then tilt and the other side releases itself; I can take the top off with one hand. I personally think that it's easier to clean the pan by taking the top off (you can better reach the front corners of the box) but it isn't mandatory to remove; I've done it both ways but prefer to take it off. And reattaching is easy - gently push down the top plastic edge over one latch, then over the other, there's a definite snap that you hear and it's latched down. This also ensures that the needed overlap (see above) of the top over the bottom occurs so that urine drains down the INside of the box. There are some slots in the front edge where the cat enters/exits, but I will say that this is NOT a "trackless" box. Some litter still sticks in their little paws, but it's no worse than any of the myriad of other boxes I've used over the years and yes, maybe a little better, but there's no miracle here. Bottom line - go for something good - buy once, cry once, but know you're getting a really good product. I bought this with my own money, and this is my honest review after a couple month's use. I did find that it went on sale, which is when I got it - if you're interested keep an eye on it for a while, or use Camel Camel Camel to see if it's a good price historically. I do NOT regret anything, except that I waited so long to get one!!!

I Like the box. It’s Extra Large so my cats can move in it and pick their spot. Easy to clean. The sides and back are high enough so the litter doesn’t get thrown out. It is a little heavier than the XL plastic box I also have. The little step or lip at the front is never used by my cats. They always jump/step over it so they do have litter on their feet when they leave the box. It has the four rubber discs that you stick on the bottom so the box doesn’t move, that works well. However, since I wash the box regularly, the discs have moved so I can see them coming off in time. I don’t know how well the box will stay in place without the round rubber disc, but I guess having them on a rubber mat may help.

Far better than plastic boxes, and better overall for the environment and your cat scratching up microplastics. It does have a hard plastic "wall" up, so you're not completely free of plastics, but better than the pan itself. Easier to clean and does not retain odors the same as plastics do. My only criticism is that XXL is still smaller than I'd like. I have large cats and it would be nice to have an even larger box - a giant or jumbo version of this box. Other than that, it's great.
