Omega PawEL-RA15-1 Elite Roll ‘n Clean Litter Box Regular

My cat is nine years old, and this will be the second one of these products that I've bought. They are so easy to use! I needed to get a new one because the previous one lasted for the first eight and a half years. The clip eventually stopped working to hold it shut, but considering how long it lasted, it was well worth it.

Litter falls in behind the scoop. But overall it is a very good product.

We cam across this by chance. It came into our Church thrift shop that my wife manages. We had just adopted 2 black kittens from the shelter after our cat Marley passed a while ago. We had set up 2 rather large litter boxes for them, quite a lot of work. We did not realize at the time this was a "normal size box. But we gave it a try, nothing to lose.. Both of them adapted almost immediately to the change of having one box instead of 2. We went ahead and purchased this "mate" for the original we have now in case they get fussy later, but it looks like both are perfectly happy, they are about half grown now.. So literally yes, it takes about 30 seconds to do. A couple of tries and you see how it works and you adapt to process. Shake it a bit as you roll it to the right side, you can hear the clumps fall into the scoop, a little shaking on the way to the other side that puts the non clumped litter back in the bottom, and your done. scoop slides out with clumps, into the bag they go. We were shocked . So our experience is great. 2 cats sharing a "normal size" box with no problem. I'm a huge skeptic, but I'm highly impressed. One thing they could improve. The actually clever "catch" they put on the opening does collect litter from their paws as they use it, It tends to dump the catchings on the floor when you turn it sideways. I just tilt the box up a bit in front, tap the bottom of the catch and the litter drops back in the box and then I continue to roll it. Maybe a Hinge of some kind that you could flip up before turning it would help that, but its not a deal breaker. Much nicer and it does seem to keep the odor down quite a bit, I'm thinking the cover prevents some airflow. That's our experience so far, so good.t

Update: honestly, I don't roll this anymore. My cat is a long boi, and was occasionally pooping outside the box on accident because he felt confined. We ordered a giant box elsewhere and he loves it. I'll probably get rid of the OmegaPaw one after it gets worn. Also, while we're unsure how his paw pad got hurt, I hope it wasn't from scraping the grate because he's a voracious litter-thrower and may not have expected the grate there.Perhaps I was lucky to have a well-adapted cat, but he took to this box rather immediately. I was concerned he'd be scared of the cover because the shelter didn't use a cover. Additionally, they barely gave him any wood pellets in there, but we are using clumping 4-in-1 from Tidy Cats. That litter works sufficiently.This is such a great idea, and no doubt one we'll see expanded and improved upon now it's out in the world. However there were some features that could be remedied with adjustments.1) The grate part (that the sand goes through we you roll it) is supposed to "fit" in between these two tabs on the bottom of the box. Well, there's no method for locking them into place, so every time a roll it, it becomes dislodged and the grate kinda moves wherever it wants. I want to keep it in place!!!2) Relatedly, the same grate piece appears intended to fit flat on the right side of the box, below where the scoop goes. Well, because of problem discussed in 1), the box lid doesn't FIT RIGHT and using the clips to hold it closed doesn't work well. Since both of these issues stem from that grate part, I either received a janky product or it's needing improvement. Honestly if these 2 parts were addressed, I would edit this to 5*.3) Lastly, and this is my error not one on part of the company, please be warned the drawer that collects the faeces lacks a wall on the end, in order to make pouring into garbage easier. In my frustrated dealing with the clips [see 1) and 2) above], I had rolled the box and then took off the top, which tilted the scoop and spilt the whole drawer contents on the floor. I learnt from the ordeal, and hopefully this tragic tale can help someone else.Omega Paw! If the problems above do not sound like they're typical of your products, feel free to reach out to me and I'd be happy to hear a solution and will change this review because the idea itself is very good and I wish to support innovation as such.
