Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I was very happy with the Scoop Free machine, but was getting a little fussy about the high cost and frequent changing of the replacement cartridges; we have one little lady-cat using the box, and expected each cartridge would last "roughly" a month. Instead, we find that before we quite reach the three week mark we're starting to wonder whether that box ought to be changed...and by week three there's no question. Out with the old! In with the new!...for sixteen bucks, grumble grouse... Enter the Forever Litter Tray. It arrived with stunning speed and in perfect condition. It fit the Scoop Free machine perfectly, and works brilliantly. It is easy to maintain, with the hard plastic making for easy handling. Dump, rinse if needed, refill, done. I'm a numbers kind of gal, so here's the way I figure it on this: The cost of the throw-away catridges ran us about $15.99 on average. The Forever Litter Tray was $50.00 after shipping and taxes. One 8# bag of Fresh Step Crystals (the same litter that comes in the throw-away cartridge) runs around $13.99 (seems to go on sale for $11.99 fairly regularly, though) and gives us two refills of the tray. By my calculations, we'll begin saving money on the 6th tray refill, when the cost of cartridges would be $95.94 while the cost of the Forever Litter Tray and 'litter to date' will be $91.97. By the end of a full year's use (refilling about every three weeks for our little lady), we should be coming out over $100 ahead by using the Forever Litter Tray. Awesome! Feeling better about reusing the tray rather than throwing it away doesn't hurt, either.
