IRIS Top Entry Cat Litter Box

Least favorite litter box in all my years of owning cats. Top entry & grooved lid does a good job with keeping litter contained. But the pros end there. Somehow, this litter box amplifies the ammonia smells x10 compared to a $15 litter box from the pet store. Clean it daily, yet, my entire apartment smells like ammonia — traced back to this box— after a few months of use. Have even resorted to trying scented litters instead of Dr. Elyse’s and “World’s best litter “. Don’t waste your money. This is a megaphone for unpleasant smells even after weekly washes. Will be throwing it to the curb.

I ordered this litter box multiple times but it always comes somewhat defective. The bottom of the litter box does not lay flat on the floor, my cat would definitely fall jumping on and off. I don't know if it's the molding or heat that caused the issue. A hook is also missing to hang the scoop inside. Otherwise it could be a nice litter box that minimize tracking.

I bought this litter box because my kitten started standing up when urinating, thus resulting in my needing to clean the wall every day. She's totally healthy - no UTIs or bladder issues; it's just a behavioral aspect that has recently developed. I bought this litter box to solve the issue of urine on the wall and couldn't be happier! The opening in the top entry provides enough breathability so that the odors don't get trapped and Cleo is more inclined to use it. I think Cleo appreciates the privacy this litter box provides as well. I haven't had any issues with the top falling in as other buyers have described, but I also went with the product I thought would best hold a 6lb kitten.

The top is easy to remove and replace for scooping and cleaning. I also enjoy that the ridged top thoroughly catches the litter from Cleo's paws. I have a litter mat underneath the box, but I've noticed a lot less on the mat in general since purchasing this litter box. … more

My 2 year old cat gets litter EVERYWHERE. I was sweeping the area around his litter box every single day until I got this! My 10 week old kitten is also able to use it which is a huge plus! I keep a separate litter box (1 for each cat and so that I have one that’s easily accessible incase my cats hurt themselves or need to wear a cone), but they both seem to prefer this one! The ridges on the top catches a lot of litter and I love how easy it is to take off the top. It also comes with a scoop which is super nice!

My cats love this box and it does an excellent job of keeping litter contained. But I would not recommend this particular model. The box itself is made of fairly thin plastic that warps easily. The lid is only secured by the two paw print tabs and one in the back. It feels like only a matter of time before it fails. I would recommend going with a top-entry litter box that has a lid that sits on top of the edges of box, rather than inside them.

Pro:Bought this to deter my cocker spaniel from snacking in the litter box—which it does! Con: I have yet to find litter liners that fit this box. Con: the cats track even more litter around the house than ever before. I mean EVERYWHERE since switching to these.

Love it! The Nature’s Miracle disposable litter box fits into this unit perfectly as a liner. I use a specialty no dust/no odor litter that you stir & scoop daily and change out completely every 3-4 weeks. It’s super easy to pop off the lid, put the used liner straight into a garbage bag, wipe out the box with a disposable cleaning towel, put the new liner box in, fill w/ 3” of litter, and done. The plastic doesn’t absorb odors with this method. I tried it with clay & pine litters, but it wasn’t nearly as efficient as the litter pearls. I’ve never had a better or easier litter box & liner set up in my life!

I got this box because it was aesthetically pleasing and had top entry so that my cat wouldn't kick so much litter out like he does with other boxes. It has been a learning curve on how to use the top entry, but he's getting the hang of it. I bought both the medium and large box. My cat didn't like the medium size. It was too small for him (he's about 8.6lbs). I think the medium is best for kittens. I'd recommend large for adult cats.

In theory, and for short-term, this is a great litter box. However, the lid barely attaches and it is just a matter of time before it falls down into the litter when the cat stands on it. IF you happen to find a liner to fit (the recommended liners do NOT fit) the liner causes the lid to barely stay in place. I really want to love this litter box, but the design needs some tweaking.

I bought this litter box for two reasons. 1. to keep our dogs out of the cat litter box and 2. to keep more litter inside the box when our cat kicks it around. It definitely keeps are dogs out but litter still gets out of the box. However, the litter that escapes from the box is very minimal compared to before. Overall I’m really happy with my purchase!
