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.

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 see through and the design is easy for them to move around in. … more

I had a little box from Van Ness before and it lasted a long time (like 10-15 years), but it was time to replace it. I purchased this because of the quality I expected from this company and because of the nice appearance. I really got what I paid for.

I purchased this because of the quality I expected from this company and because of the nice appearance. I really got what I paid for. I should have learned after the first one arrived and was cracked in at least places, making it unusable. Chewy replaced it for free (Chewy is awesome!) no questions asked. The new one arrived without damage, but one of the fasteners on the side doesn't stay closed, so it is hard to pick up the container. It has also already cracked after only 2-3 months. I am SO disappointed. This litter box is not sturdy or well made- again, I should not be surprised because I didn't pay much. I now have to purchase another little box- this one is just too flimsy. … more

Very flimsy
By Flimsy on Jan 11, 2021
I was knocking the bottom on my trash can to get stuff out of the bottom and cracked it about 5 days after I got it. It is now wrapped with tape around the bottom to hold it together

Non Quality Materials and Parts
By LetDown on Jan 4, 2021
Overall excellent idea, poor implementation. Small enough to fit next to toilet in my apartment and clear top allows for quick visible confirmation of where the cat is. Arrived with missing latch on one out of the four corners, and broken latch plastic in the area of the latch, which makes carrying handle obsolete. Door functions as intended.

Not Up to Chewy or Van Ness Standards
By AZGrammy on Dec 3, 2020
First, I love Chewy. Second, I have several other VanNess products I like. That said, these were the cheapest litter pans I ever owned, and I've owned a lot of boxes since Kitters in 1974. As I set up the first, my grandson knocked the others off the table, and it looked like two of the tops broke. I contacted Chewy, and of course was given a credit and told to donate the broken boxes. Later, after undoing all the zip ties, I found all three tops had broken, (one latch unusable on each), and both boxes cracked at the corner as well. They were in bad enough shape, I was embarrassed to donate them. I used the third until I made the mistake of picking up the box with about an inch of litter in First, I love Chewy.

The entire side split, top to bottom! I have other Van Ness pans, different material, and I love them.This model is not up to snuff, in my opinion. Apparently, if you are careful enough, and lucky enough, these can be okay. I think the product should be strong enough to survive a short drop, or even being picked up with litter in it. Pans DO need to be picked up and old, sifted litter emptied! … more
