Surely my method of small garden shovel and bag was good enough, I didn't need yet another "thing"
Oh my gosh. I can't believe I waited so long to buy one of these. I just wasn't sure how necessary it was, especially when I have had to buy so many other things for my now ten-month old pup-- tons of dog grooming supplies, tons more training tools, toys and treats... Surely my method of small garden shovel and bag was good enough, I didn't need yet another "thing". But it took a while and got to be pretty tiresome, especially when I'm only out there once or twice a week. Doody rolling off the shovel before making it into the bag and whatnot... I'd finally had enough. So now though; which one to buy?
I obviously settled on this one, and love it so much that I do not foresee buying any other ones to compare it to. But here is what I love. It seems very sturdy, I've been able to do the job every 4-5 days with only the one fill-up and with a 60+lb pup, that still gets a tad heavy. My favorite thing about this scooper is how I can attach regular grocery store bags to the little slots on the outside. Keeps the whole process neat and tidy and I don't have to buy any kind of special bag to make that happen. I know a couple of reviewers had mentioned otherwise, but it really couldn't be simpler.
Unless this whole contraption were metal, I don't see how it could be improved. And in that case I would expect to pay quite a bit more so I'm very happy with it as is.
