Booda Dome Cleanstep Litter Box

I was excited to finally get one of these for my Fat Boy (Pistachio), who kicks litter everywhere. But upon unboxing, wrestling with cheap tape holding the two pieces together, and trying to decide if my 12 year old son would get too frustrated trying to clean it out (Jury says: very likely.), I was left frustrated & disappointed. I’m sending it back and getting something better. Additionally, all of the edges of this cheap, flimsy plastic are jagged, some parts even sharp. Lazy. P.S. I didn’t think to check if something of two pieces of this proportion would include some sort of latches, but I will now.

The old booda litter boxes were way better, made with thick plastic and a durable and comfortable handle on top. This box is large but has the filter on top with a huge open space near the handle. The cat can put paw and head through opening on top and chew or pull it off. So it ends up thrown into the trash, not used and the box is left with a large opening on top. And it would not stay on even if your cat did not touch it or even work well, since there is a huge open space on top not attaching the fitler well. And the open space is right under the handle, so you have to touch the filter just to use the handle. The old booda had the filter inside top, in a separate compartment with a nice snap The old booda litter boxes were way better, made with thick plastic and a durable and comfortable handle on top.

NO open space. And the handle never touched the filter, which it does now and is held on very flimsy. The entire construction has sharp plastic edges, and the thinner plastic does not fit on as well as their older booda, so handling it to open and close and clean is not enjoyable. For the price they really should provide a better product. It seems like it is more expensive but with worst quality. I gave two instead of one stars because it is the only round box with stairs and my new kitten likes the playful design. But depending on the litter you use, there will still be smell from the opening on top and litter outside box cause the cat will jump over edge- not actually walk down from the top of stairs. For the price, they really could have designed this a lot better!!! … more

I wasn’t even going to write this review.. but I have two other ones of these same litter boxes. ..they are made nice ,sturdy ,thick plastic, this one is so flimsy, i can barely keep the top on..i just can not believe it..maybe because it was the cheaper of the two ..but i thought it was because it was white..i know this has nothing to do woth chewy..but im very disappointed

I purchased this for my 4 cats thinking the curve and stairs would lessen the amount of litter being tracked and kicked out of the box. WRONG! The box has a serious design flaw. The inner wall of the box is quite low and adjacent to the stairs under the lid so my cats just happily kick all the litter onto the stairs and make a bigger mess than they ever did before. I was willing to deal with the large size of the box thinking it would be great because there are 4 who use it but the actual litter compartment is not large. I have had the box for one month and am leaving this review as I am on Chewy shopping for another box. This box is also big and bulky so if you don't have a designated room I purchased this for my 4 cats thinking the curve and stairs would lessen the amount of litter being tracked and kicked out of the box.

This box is also big and bulky so if you don't have a designated room for your litter it's difficult to just put it "anywhere". This is actually the worst box I have ever purchased and I'm surprised, Booda usually makes good products. … more

I was really excited about this litter box, but I was quite disappointed of the "quality" when I finally got it. The plastic around the area where you're supposed to place the filter was all melted, so the filter doesn't fit properly. I did not like it doesn't have clasps to keep the top in place, however, the top never comes off. This litter box works great with litter tracking. I have noticed a lot less litter on the floor. I read some reviews saying this litter box is hard to clean, but I have had no problem cleaning it at all. Would I recommend it? no. Would I buy it again? no. I wanted to return it, but I couldn't find any "return" link on the website, so I didn't feel like I was really excited about this litter box, but I was quite disappointed of the "quality" when I finally got it.

The dome is great for keeping litter IN the box; however it is a bit more difficult to clean because of the sloped/curved sides. In addition, I really have to work at lining up the edges when putting the top back on. The one benefit I found is that it keeps the odor to a minimum and THAT negates the couple of negatives! That said, I do still prefer this box over my old one.

I purchased this because I have had dome litter boxes in the past and loved them. This one is terrible. There are so many design flaws. The seal is bad in many places and cat urine leaks out every time they go. The litter portion is oddly shaped causing them to often pee on the stairs and it just trickles on down. I have never had to use so much enzyme cleaner in my life

Our cat has litter box anxiety and was marking like crazy. She also refuses to push anything with her head, so we were happy to find a box with privacy that doesn't require her pushing a kitty door. The lid definitely DOES NOT fit securely. So that's a pain. But other than that, it's perfect. It traps the smell well, she feels comfortable, and it stops her from kicking litter all over the room.

I love this litter box! I live in a studio apartment so I can’t just hide the litter box anywhere unless I pay well over $100 for a built in furniture litter box. Last week my friend was complaining about the litter smell in my apartment, I guess I’m just use to it now lol! But since I’ve got this one, it has helped SO MUCH with holding in the smell. Plus I am using better litter now! 10/10 recommend this litter box!

I have an old one that I wanted to change. i was very disappointed when the first one came. there was no compering it to the old one. the craftsmen ship was so poor. i ordered a second one in the same color main is hoping it will make a difference but it did not. thank you for allowing me to return them. thy were picked up Saturday.
