Frisco Sifting Cat Litter Box, Large, 22-in

Pellets are hard and cat gets it all over. Hard to pick up. Cover lower in front so it's easier for cat to get pellets all on floor when they try to cover their business. Pellets get stuck in bottom grate and in litter shovels. Not all pellet brands fit properly. Pellets are scooped up along with poop..pellets clump and don't always go thru grate when wet, even when smooshed, get stuck in bottom grate. Makes more of a mess than worth it, hard to pick up so many pellets. With kit, not enough pellets are given and you have extra expense of pet pads that fit, fill up quickly, hard to change and not get stuff on floor. Not happy with the whole system..wouldnt buy it had I known..found a sifting Pellets are hard and cat gets it all over. Hard to pick up.

I bought this primarily because I needed a larger box for my substantial cats, and I wanted a sifter box for pine/wood pellet litter. The size is terrific, and it contains pellets and dust much better than my breeze boxes were. However, it is designed only for use with clumping litters. You cannot use it with crystals or pellets because the slots are too large and the unused pellets sift through with the partially dissolved and saturated dust. Good value for a large box.

There are no handles. I love the idea for the sifter for my outside cat in the garage...but when I go to clean it there are no handles or even gaps to get my fingers in to grab it. My fingers hurt every time. I am hunting for a different one before next winter. And on a side note...I would never have one of these in my house. It is clumsy to empty and stuff sticks to the sides and bottom. I always have to sweep the garage floor even when I am being very careful. I will stick to scooping for my inside cats.

I got a sifting litter box hoping it would make things easier on me but honestly I'd rather go back to scooping and digging, it's just a hassle to have to keep lifting and dumping and the pee most of the time sticks either to the edges or the bottom and you have to scrape it from the bottom and it creates a whole mess, it's seems easier cause your getting all the poop and pee at once but honestly your just getting more up close and personal with the nastiness in my opinion.

We bought three for our inside socialized feral cats. In short the slits should be narrowed or an additional manufactured mesh screen offered to zip-tie inside the bottom lip. Also the shifting pan needed more space so I attached to pieces of pvc pipe for that purpose. We cut wire mesh from pizza pans that can be found at restaurant depot stores.

Finally a litter pan that is a neutral color. I bought it just for that. Why do litter pans have to be all those garish or primary colors that go with nothing. The pan is large and holds 10 lbs. or more of litter. It can be use with or without the sifter. Love it.

The description states the handles make clean up even easier-but the handles dont exist!! I love the system and find much less odor with this system. I find it easier to clean and maintain. I do use a puppy pad under the sifting box, which makes it easy to clean the wet litter out weekly. I use the pellets--not wood. The wood pellets are treated with chemicals to make igniting them easier, as well as burn more slowly. I use the animal pellets used for horse bedding and small animals. It has that description on the package. Also it clearly states "not treated with chemicals". These are the pellets you want to use. Anyway, it has cut down on the odor by 90%. So, I love the system.

I dont find that the pellets clog the openings at all of the sifter box. I just wish it had handles-it would make sifting so much easier. I am going to buy a bin with handles and punch holes in it. … more

When I decided to buy this I was a little weary because of the reviews of it being hard to clean or just as much time as scooping. I do agree that at times it does take longer than scooping, however only by a couple min. The real win factor is how much litter it saves! I use sweatscoop multi cat litter and it was a struggle to keep the contaminated litter from mixing with clean litter by using the scoop. With this litter box it only take me lifting it up, scraping the sifting pan, replace sifting pan into the clean box, take the litter and dump into the newly cleaned litter box and scrape the remaining bits of litter of the bottom of the first litter box. Sounds confusing but it’s simple and When I decided to buy this I was a little weary because of the reviews of it being hard to clean or just as much time as scooping.

The premise is great. Execution, not so much. Wet litter clogs the slots below the clumped litter in the sifting tray. Also, it's too large to efficiently dump clumped litter and solid waste into a regular kitchen-sized garbage can. It tends to spread and spill around the perimeter of the can. Also, the box is fairly heavy when filled with 2-3 inches of clumping litter plus waste, and lifting the sifting tray is not suited for my kids (yes, they have chores!) nor my 86-year-old mom. I have 4 boxes and 4 cats, and I sifted daily. It didn't get any easier, no matter what I tried. Finally, when I realized I was spending more time scooping and scraping the slots, I gave up and went back to the old-fashioned The premise is great. Execution, not so much.

I agree with what's been stated before, if you don't love this box, it's because you aren't using it properly. The sifting section is not supposed to be on top. I have 3 cats. A very large alpha male Tom, a sweet tiny adult female, and a rowdy little male kitten. The was DONE with my litter situation at home and knew we needed a change. I was tired of the smell, the mess, the old boxes needed to be replaces anyway as they were just too small for 3 cats (even with 3 boxes).

The rowdy kitten no longer throws litter out of the box which is awesome. Cleanup doesn't bother me at all anymore, it's almost fun...well, as fun as it can be. Less than 5 minutes is all it takes for me to sift, throw out, pour new litter and sweep around the boxes. These WILL make your life so much easier, just please make sure you are using it correctly. … more
