Good Idea, Bad Execution
I could not help but notice over a hundred reviews, many short and uninformative, raving about this product posted a day apart for weeks on end. This, after Smart Money ran an expose' on false positive reviews online.
That said, I did buy this in hopes of making a nasty job easier and it is a good idea. But in reality it does not really save any time and, after a month of rolling it, my wife and I ended up removing the screen and just scooping it like any other litter box. The reviews that mention that it leaks when you roll it are correct, though some litters that have less dust are not as bad. The review that states that it creates another mess by coating the inside walls with litter dust is correct also. For the product to work well, it needed to have been made of a more rigid plastic with a gasket to seal the dust in where the top and bottom connect. But even if it worked as advertised as seemingly "hundreds" of reviews would have you believe, you still have a drawer of messy litter to dispose of which means you just have one BIG scoop instead of several smaller ones, you periodically have to take it apart and scoop the litter that sticks inside, and because of the rolling, you have to take the whole thing apart and clean it as well.
