Van Ness Translucent Enclosed Cat Litter Pan

Purchased one of these about a yr and a half ago along with an xl catit covered pan for my 4 large cats and I also have another brand medium size pan. All 4 preferred this Van Ness over the other two so I finally gave in and ordered two more of these to replace the other brands. One was damaged upon delivery but was quickly replaced by customer service. I have never had a problem with the pan breaking during use and don't expect to have with the 2 new ones. I do not pick them up by the handle when full of litter, I take top off and lift pan. I also use a metal scoop but am careful when scooping as yes they are a little thinner than some pans but I believe my cats like them as the tops are somewhat Purchased one of these about a yr and a half ago along with an xl catit covered pan for my 4 large cats and I also have another brand medium size pan.

I have bought two of these (size XL) over the last year. My cats used it just fine, and the size was good (hence 2 stars instead of one), but the plastic is too thin/flimsy on the top part. They broke the first one after using for several months - not sure how, it was cracked when I got home one day. I thought it was a fluke, so I ordered the same one to replace it. Two months later, this one's top cracked too. One of my cats has taken to jumping onto the litter box from the cat tree, so after 3 jumps, the top is shattered to pieces. I need the cover because they kick litter all over the place without one.

First one I ordered, came cracked completely on top,( Shipping and packing issue). Chewy was nice and sent out another one the next day. It came with a tiny crack by the side lock, but not a problem. Coonie has used it for 3 years and loves it. She is almost 20 pounds and so I took the flap off. The bottom on this one now has broke and I am ordering another one. Love their products. Very easy to clean.

Purchased 2 of these. I like the top being translucent. The size is great. On either of the litter boxes the lids will not snap securely so the top is able to come off and the urine can leak to the outside. The litter scoops easily as stated in the item description.

I’ve only had this for two weeks, but it’s working fine. I can see how people are saying it’s defective bc the plastic is not very sturdy, but as long as you are not manhandling it, it should hold up fine. I really love that the kid is clear, I don’t know, but think cats like that they can see what’s coming at them or around them when they are in a vulnerable position. Wish more manufacturers would make more clear loss like this! Based on previous reviews I took a chance on this and hope this product holds up!

This box is much smaller than the dimensions would lead you to believe due to the wide lip for the top and the back corner indentations, which can cause difficulty when scooping--a flat back is always preferable. I can't imagine any adult cat being comfortable with this box. The transparent top and bottom are nice and the box is very deep and the top is quite high. The lid came cracked at one of the latches, so the latch was always falling off. That wasn't a problem for me as I always cut the roof of the box and the door off to facilitate scooping and give my cat plenty of head room. The lid material is very brittle, so I imagine that's why the lid fractured at the latch in shipping.

I only used the box for a few days as I could tell my poor cat was feeling very constrained--he developed a new technique for covering up. … more

This is the only litter box Ive found that keeps my cat from hanging over and peeing in the floor. Its high all around but very cheap plastic. You have to be careful when cleaning and picking up because it will crack. I order several at a time because they're not sturdy to last a long time.

We replaced an older enclosed litter pan with this one. The new one was very noticeably thinner plastic. We had 2 of the 4 plastic latches break off without much effort. From the beginning the latches did not seem to stay secured to the bottom pan.

Great size for my cat? We don’t move our litter box around and use box liners, so we don’t have to worry at all about it seeming a little thin or flimsy. Wonderful box for the price!

I had checked the dimensions of this litter box before ordering but when I got it home and set up, it was smaller than expected. I have a larger cat who towered over the hood and so I removed the hood all together. I then started noticing poop outside the box, because she's just too large for it.
