Litter Lifter Cat Litter Scoop (Colors May Vary)

Seriously. This is the best pooper scooper ever. Ever. There is no shaking back and forth, disrupting the pee clumps. The litter falls immediately through the slots, but the business stays on the scoop. It's a very sturdy scooper and I've never had any break. It's light-weight, too. I recommend this to all litter box cleaners!

I had been recommended this scooper and was skeptical of it really making much difference, not to mention unwilling to spend the $$ since I fairly recently bought an expensive deep stainless steel scooper.But so many recommended it, especially with Dr. Elyses litter, which I switched to a few months ago and love, that I decided to try it.Somehow it really DOES slide much more easily through the litter. It picks up smaller bits. If your cats leave everything near the surface (like mine do) it is even easier to slide this through the pan and clean everything up. It did cut down on the time I spent scooping deeply with my deeper scoop.I was concerned that it might not be as durable (surely it’s not as durable as steel) but it feels sturdier than I expected. I don’t have an idea yet if/when it might fail and break, but the fact that it skims lightly (1) puts less stress on the scooper so it’s likely to last much longer than a comparable plastic deep scoop would, and(2) is scooping less litter volume more easily so that while it’s not as ergonomically shaped as my other one, it’s actually much easier to use and less stress on the wrist.I’ll probably order another one to have as a backup in case this one DOES break someday since I’ve decided I don’t want to be without one. And since I scoop 4 boxes, I can just keep it with the one that’s further away so I don’t have to carry a scoop through the house.Oh one other thing - it may be that my litter box was dirtier than I like to let it get (I prefer to scoop several times a day but it had been over a day with multiple cats preferring THAT box) ... but it did break a clump and some stuck to the scoop. I think that would have happened with pretty much any kind of scoop at that point, but in the interest of being complete I thought I’d mention it. It cleans easily though.

The media could not be loaded. Listen, I know what I’m talking about.I have had cats my entire life and currently have 6 cats (!) and four litter boxes I clean twice a day.These are THE BEST litter scoops because:- they are large enough to scoop a lot at once- space between tines (? Is that what they’re called?) are perfect to let litter fall through quickly without have to constantly shakeHIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Long scoop and wider space between the tines enables the scoop to process greater volume with each scoop and the litter falls through faster, shortening the time and effort to clean the litter. The straighter handle angle allows better alignment of hand/wrist force with the blade on the end for more quickly "plunging" the scoop in and less effort to lift up and allow litter to fall through. Less clogging of the scoop as crud gets stuck to it over time compared with standard scoop (I've had many), also less litter moves when doing it so less spilling litter out of the box when working quickly. Would like one of these made of metal - but they would never need to sell another one! This is pretty sturdy, mine only recently developed cracks after using it to clean up after 8 cats for 3.5 years. The wife puts too much litter in the box so deeper pile & more weight of litter to sift probably added more strain than it was designed for, so I am not deducting a star. I'm writing this review due to needing to buy another because of the wear from over 3 years of very heavy use. As to the remarks from other reviews complaining about the square corners not fitting rounded litter boxes, this is a compromise in the design to achieve the aforesaid performance, and is easily overcome with proper technique. Just aim well and jiggle a bit to coax the corner clumps into the scoop. It will take a little practice but totally worth the significant gain in time savings for an unpleasant chore.

The media could not be loaded. I've never made a video review before but I just need people to see what this does. If you're a cat owner, you know the hell of sifting when you're scooping the litter box. I switched my cat from crystal litter to clay litter because she's been having issues with it as of late and the sifting is literally my nightmare with clay litter. I have fatigue issues these days so anything that makes the process of cleaning the litter box less labor-intensive is on my wishlist.I've been using a large metal litter scoop and the one that came with my Litter Genie pail in combination but once I switched back to clay litter, the issue of small broken off clumps getting lost in the process was impossible to ignore and I bought this after a bit of research expecting very little.I SHOULD HAVE EXPECTED GREATNESS.This is pure magic. You scoop and everything but the clumped litter and waste just falls out and off. Like, it's that simple. No sifting, no struggling to get out every little crumb. Even with my cat who is a corner pee-er (translation: scooping these clumps involves some extra maneuvering), I can get the bulk of the clump and any remaining broken bits out in just two scoops. It's also never had the issue of caked on litter that other plastic scoops have, and it's really easy to clean when anything gets caught in the tines.I literally went to go clean another litter box the first time I used it, with enthusiasm, just because I was so excited to show the home aide who usually takes care of my uncle's cat's litter box what this scoop did. I called my aunt and told her to buy a bunch for her house, and now I'm telling you to buy one for every litter box you own too.
