Litter Genie Easy Roll Pail

After living in our home for almost 5 years, our HOA decided that all trash cans needed to be inside the garage. My side patio next to our garage was no longer acceptable. We've always just collected clumping litter in plastic grocery bags and discarded with our regular kitchen trash. Being outside there was no problem but in the confines of the closed garage a weeks worth of litter quickly became smelly no matter how tightly I closed the bags. Enter the Litter Genie. I found it to be very nice size to fit in our small laundry room right next to the litter box. It's very simple to just open the lid, drop in the clumps, open the trap door and every thing magically disappears and then it's tightly resealed when you close the trap door. I usually change the bag after 2 weeks, but have gone as long as 3 weeks. Seems there's plenty of room for more. We're now using a silici based litter so it's only the solid waste. Larger clumps may fill it faster. Staying inside the house, there's no odor and my garage of course smells better. I highly recommend the Litter Genie. I picked the Platinum Pail, liking the white color and thinking the metal would be less likely to absorb odors. It's been about 3 months and I'm still using the bags that came with the Litter Genie, I'm not sure how many are left. But I have a back up box waiting... If you've been thinking about a Litter Genie , for sure, for a 1 cat household it's a very nice system. My laundry room is cleaner, no more bags of grocery bags hanging on the door knob and much easier to quickly scoop out the waste, so the box stays cleaner.

Love my litter genie! It keeps the smell of the kitty litter trapped and I don’t have to throw bags away 24/7 it’s also cute and looks good so people arent like ew what is that! 😂 fit is perfect in my laundry room right by the litter box so I’m also not transporting it everywhere. It is very compact and small but holds a bunch! Value for the money is absolutely there and I 100% reccomend it! Quality is great and easy to use! I highly reccomend this if you HATE taking out trash everytime your scoop the litter box like me!

Neat little system for odor control and easy to use. It's small footprint makes for easy placement and yet size is sufficient to hold substantial clumps without becoming too heavy to lift out bag for dumping. Very cool new bag replacement system from inside. New bags box stores within unit and auto deploys new bag as old is lifted out. You just tear off old bag and place top of new bag over holders, shut lid to secure

Where has this been all my life? I've had five cats in my life and this is my first litter genie. I'm using it for one cat. I switched to grass cat litter plus this litter genie and I have to say, I never knew that scooping could be such an inoffensive experience. It's no longer a task I dread and put off. I have this next to the litter box and I can easily scoop when I'm walking by since I don't have to get any bags or a trash can. It definitely keeps the smell in and I also love that it's 100% recycled plastic. I haven't had any issues with the bag slipping off, I just make sure I wrap extra on the hooks with each new bag. It's a win for my cat too since I scoop more often and I feel good about that. My only gripe is that I wish it were a little bit bigger. I don't think it would work well for me with more than one cat since I would have to empty it more often, and as it is, with my cat being a big pee-er, it doesn't make it a week. I'm still glad I didn't get the original version, since this one is really easy to change. I'll probably get a second one to put next to my other litter box that my other cat uses. The opening could be a big bigger, since I find that the waste sometimes touches the rim, but it's easy enough to wipe with sanitizing wipe if needed. I debated spending the money on it, since I didn't really need it, but now I think it was worth the money to make a frequent and necessary task faster, easier, and less gross. Great purchase.

As a senior citizen, I didn't want to have to do a lot of knot tying, or fiddling with the bags and this seemed like a better solution for me than the original Litter Genie model as my first time using one of these. I also like the look better. After about a month, I'm very pleased with my purchase. Initially, I used the Genie only for poo, as both kittens were using pine pellets in Tidy Cat Breeze boxes, so there were no pee clumps, a solution *I* liked very much! However, it became clear that one kitten did not *like* using the pine pellets, was holding his pee longer than he should, and to avoid urinary tract issues, I am now using non-clay clumping litter. So the bags are filling faster now, but it looks like we will use about a bag per week for two 10-month-old boy kittens of about 10 pounds each. Better than what the manufacturer describes! This may change as they develop their full growth and I expect it to, but if we use 2 bags per week, cost would remain reasonable for us and this is so much less unsightly than my previous 4 gallon OPEN wastebasket lined with regular trash bags. The set up is easy, though you must be careful to be sure your plastic bag is well held by the plastic hooks. I usually double-over the edge slightly and make sure all 4 hooks are fully engaged. I've not had any trouble with the bag becoming loose and falling off the hooks as it gets full. To gauge how full, you look down in the bag with the odor trap slider door opened, so at that time, it's possible odor might escape, but it's not been an issue for me with a quick peek here and there. You DON'T want to overfill, as that could prevent the odor control sliding trap from closing. Overfilling will also make it difficult to tie the bag off. So STOP filling when the level of litter is starting to approach, but is not yet AT the level of the odor trap slider! Removing the full bag is easy, just lift the top of the Genie, unhook the bag from the plastic hooks, twist it closed, tie it off, gently pull it up, separate the used bag at the perforation. Dispose of used bag, then hook your fresh bag to the plastic hooks, close it all up and ready to go! I think it is a good idea to open up the new bag by putting your hand inside and making sure it is all open and intact. That way the litter can drop in easy. I've had no odors, no problems, the unit feels sturdy and is not very likely to be knocked over by boisterous kittens (whom, just yesterday, brought down my full, 13 gallon kitchen trashcan). It looks nice. Is it perfect? Close, but not quite. I would like to see a pail style handle. There IS a molded handle at the back that you can grab the unit by to move it, but it is NOT well-balanced once the unit gets weighed down by litter! A pail style and hopefully METAL handle would make moving the Genie between litter boxes much easier. And that's why I docked a star. P.S. Just did third bag change, all continues to go smoothly. Am ordering another for upstairs use. Update: March 2025 Still completely happy with this purchase!

This is the best cat litter disposal pail that I've had thus far. The bags are easy to load as well as change. There is no smell and everything stays much cleaner due to the larger opening and the way the bag covers most everything in the opening. I liked it so much that I bought a second one for the laundry room. I highly recommend it!

Using doggie bags to clean the litter box before made me delay cleaning the cat box. I didn't like breathing the dust and then tying up the bag and taking to the outside trash. That means I didn't clean as frequently as I could have, and the box just gets worse when you don't clean it. Chicken and egg. With the litter genie, everything is so quick, clean, and simple, I clean the box 1-2 times daily. PROS - It's fast. Even the small steps of tearing off a doggie bag, opening it (always harder than you'd think!), collecting, tying off, and disposing, adds up. Now I open the lid of the genie, scoop, close genie, and pull the lever. DONE! Fewer trips to the outside trash! - It's clean. I love that the bag protects the genie, so the only thing touched by the dirty litter is the bag, which you eventually throw away. - It smells better. I don't smell anything from what I've stored in the genie until I have to empty the bag. I used to run an air filter by the litter box and I don't need it anymore. - No artificial scents. I'm sensitive to artificial scents, and the bags don't have a terrible artificial masking fragrance/deodorant, just a very mild sort of neutral cleaner/plastic smell. - It's made something that's a horrible chore something I really don't mind doing whenever I think of it. - It works as described. I follow the directions and have never had the bag fall in or gotten the genie dirty. See notes below about bag size/cost. GREAT TIPs from others: When you hook a new bag, push open with your hand so litter can easily reach the bottom. Also double-over the edge (just a bit) and make sure all 4 hooks are fully engaged. - I really like the scoop. I have three others, and this one fits the opening of the genie, and I haven't had any issues with the holder falling off, so it's convenient when I need it. - Compact enough and reasonably attractive to store in sight next to the litter box (I have a Modcat box). CONS - You do pay for replacement rolls. To me, this is a small tradeoff compared to the dirty, smelly, time-consuming process it used to be. I'd rather save my money in other ways, and it doesn't even seem bad given that a bag lasts me ~7-9 days and there are 24 bags on a roll. That's about 5-6 months per roll as advertised. - You can't fill the bag completely to the brim. But I really don't see this as a problem. For me, with one cat, it holds about a week's worth of waste at a time, and when I pull out the full bag, it's HEAVY. I wouldn't want to store or carry more than that. Good buy? I only have one cat, so your mileage will vary if you have more than one, but the way the genie works is the same. You'll just have to empty more frequently. Based on other reviews, you also have to be willing to accept the size limitations of the bag. If you're not willing to follow the instructions, it probably won't be great. Otherwise, don't hesitate to buy and you'll wonder why you waited so long!!

This was a replacement for the one we had for many years. They work great and seal in odors. No more frequent trips to the garbage can. With 2 cats, this makes it easy to clean up after them and keep the litter box clean.
