 some general tips... November 18, 2006
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
the litter locker is great, i keep it next to my omega paw litter box which i also highly recommend. i got mine online at a large chain pet store...
its basically a spool inside, and each turn of the wheel wraps the bag into this spool. think a garden hose...
most folks complain the refills do not last. hopefully they are not tossing them when they empty the device. the biggest problem is that the "spool" of litter will become too big to spin inside the locker, and most people may think they have to empty it and totally replace the refill.
you can actually just empty the spool once a week or every 2 weeks, just do not replace the bag refill until it actually empties! simply cut the bag and toss the litter, tie it off and then use the same refill again until it runs out.
i expect to get around 6 weeks out of each refill with this method for 1 cat, maybe longer.

Sorry, but I can still smell the odor. Plastics absorb odor. After a couple of weeks the smell permeated the whole contraption. Also, the tube/bag thing doesn't last as long as they say. I dump baking soda in with the poop every time, which seems to help. Otherwise, it's not worth the money.

I bought the LitterLocker Plus last month as a trial-run because if it didn't work, I was going to send it back. The refill already came with so I didn't buy anything extra. The refill (with 2 cats) lasted about 3 weeks. I decided that I couldn't shell out that kind of money for a refill, so I took the empty refill to Wal-Mart and matched it up with a Diaper Genie refill from the kid's section and they are ALMOST a perfect match AND they are under $5.00. I use the white ones.
So, I think it's a good buy if you are tired of using plastic bags to scoop you kitty's litter and it really helps that you can use Diaper Genie refills.

I bought this and it does keep me from running to the outside trash twice a day. Still, my 2 cats must produce a whole lot of waste because the refill cartridges don't seem to last more than 2 to 3 weeks and the litterlocker fills up about 2 or 3 times a week. Still, it does a good job of concealing the odors and I can pretend that I don't have indoor cats in between cleanings.
If I could improve it:
The refills would last longer
The container would be a little bit bigger
The blade for cutting the bags would be sharper
I'd add a little barrier to the hole where the waste goes so kitty litter isn't easily spilled out when you dump it in
Overall, I'm glad I bought it. It wouldn't be big enough storage for more than 2 cats, and as it is, my two give it a run for its money. I guess I should just be glad that my cats are regular and leave it at that. ;)
 Works well... but pointless if you have too many cats December 22, 2005

We bought this when we had one elderly cat and five very small kittens, and it worked really well. Now the elderly cat has died, and the very small kittens have become very large kittens, and this can't keep up with them. The wheel-o-poop fills up with one day's scooping... and the role of bags only lasts two-three days. We can't afford the refill packages at that rate, so we're back to recycling grocery bags.
Again, if I only had one or two cats, it would be great. As is, it is a huge waste of money.
