DurAnimals DuraScoop Original Cat Litter Scoop, Color Varies

This is a very sturdy litter scoop, and I doubt it will snap in two like other scoops I’ve used. But I have some cons: First, It’s bulky and kind of heavy. I’m not sure how easy it would be to use for someone who might have issues holding heavier things? Second, it is difficult to scrape the bottom of the litter box or anywhere the litter might be stuck. This is due to the rounded edge of the scoop; it’s just not sharp enough. I anticipated that it being metal that this wouldn’t be an issue, but I was wrong. If you need to scrape off stuck litter, I did find that flipping it over with the edge down is the way to go, then flipping it back to scoop what you loosened.

If it had a sharper/flatter edge it would work much better. Just my opinion! … more

I have been used a ton of the plastic scoops since I got my first cat as a kid. The rule was if I wanted a cat I had to help with the litter boxes. Even when I had 1 cat then until and over the years I went through so many scoops because they didn’t last and were awful to get clean. I’ve used non clumping clay and crystal litter and switched to the clumping litter over the last 15-20 years when I was one buying it. Now we are a young family with 3 cats less than a year old. Again, I have been through 3 other scoops to find one that is awesome. This scoop is it! I have a combination of litter that I love.

Clumping clay (Fresh Step or Ever Clean and the Frisco Crystals to absorb odor and maximize the clumping litter) and this made such a difference. The scoop is large enough that the larger clumps from urine don’t fall apart. The best part is the clay litter didn’t get stick to the scoop. It didn’t feel like I made a massive mess trying to clean the boxes. I will try it on non clumping clay litter soon too. We got out 2 by kittens (Teddy and Snickers) we got in June turned out to be brother and sister. I learned this just a month before Snickers became a Momma kitty. … more

I've used various plastic litter scoops over the years. Mostly the basic types, and also tried ones with long handles. Metal is the way to go! This scoop glides smoothly through the litter with little resistance. I still hate cleaning the litter boxes, but with this scoop it takes half the time. Very efficient. I chose this one because the handle is metal all the way through. I've been using it almost a month and it has been reliable so far. I will never go back to plastic litter scoops again.

This is the largest scoop I've ever seen; larger than my hand completely spread out. Closer to a garden trowel or beach sand shovel. It cleans the litter box in less than a minute (one less excuse). It is really sturdy and scrapes the bottom easily, after geologist kitties. It does let crumbs fall back, but the convenience compensates, I think. Good investment. Would buy again.

I've always used plastic ones that were cheap, but you get what you pay for. This scoop is worth every penny. It's very well made, sturdy and feels comfortable when you're digging. I especially like that it doesn't flick litter in your face like plastic ones do. And the solid sharp edges work very well when litter is stuck to the sides. Should have bought it years ago.

This scoop is perfect if you were picking up after a Great Dane! It's far too big to be practical for most cat litter scooping situations. I love how sturdy the metal scoop and longer plastic handle are, which is why I'm giving it 3 stars. But for us it's just too ginormous - both to use and to store anywhere on or near the litter box. I wish they made it with all the same features but a good 1/3 of a size smaller. That would be perfect!

This is our first time owning a metal scooper and I gotta say, I don’t see myself going back to plastic. Only has used it a couple times but already can feel the difference. It’s a bit on the pricier end, but with the quality of the scoop and the thousands of reviews I feel confident in this purchase.

I bought one almost exactly like this years ago, it was branded as a Martha Stewart product. I love this scoop! especially when comparing it to all the others and plastic ones available in store. I'm not a fan of the round ended corners on others as it can make it hard to maneuver it in the cat box corners.

I don't know what I have been doing for the last 15 years with all-plastic, smaller scoopers. This thing is lightweight but SO strong. Easy to pick up wet clumps on a regular basis and really scrape out the box as a part of the full clean. Definitely recommend this to all cat owners!

I replaced a plastic scoop about the same size because it seemed as if it might break. This scoop is very sturdy but heavier than I expected. Also some of the silver coating is peeling off the handle which surprised me because it's below the handle sleeve in an area I don't touch. I've had the scoop about 3 weeks. I will not be happy if the silver peels off in the actual scoop area. But for now it's doing what a scoop should do.
