Litter Champ replacing our Litter Lockers! No turning required A++
So far so good. Started using the Litter Champ 5 days ago and still haven't had to change the bag. We've used Litter Lockers for 2 yrs and with the Litter Champ you instantly enjoy the EASE of use. No turning of the handle, no touching the lid to lift like you have to with the Litter Locker.
PROS - CLEANER than Litter Locker, no turning required of the unit, don't have to touch the lid. Haven't noticed any odor from the bags - the fragrance mentioned in a previous review is extremely faint.
CONS - the magnet for the scoop is only on ONE side....we can't turn the unit to sit in our bathroom because the magnet faces the side we need to have flush with the wall. Bad design oversight on their part. I can probably super glue another magnet to the other side to remedy the problem.
The litter locker's main problem is having to rotate the large handle in the middle. Sometimes the bag slips off the turn shaft or when taking the bag out it snags and tears open. :(
THE LITTER CHAMP has none of these issues. All ease of use. Save for the magnetic scoop only going on ONE side. Also our older scoops fit easily into the opening - it's a quite large opening.
Highly recommend! A++
UPDATE -- It's been a few months since we first bought the Litter Champ and we still give it top ratings. Still on the FIRST set of bags that came with it!! Also ordered another Litter Champ. We have no issue with odor and I have a great sense of smell. (a reviewer on Petco assumed we had poor sense of smell since they could smell urine when they opened the lid to make a deposit) I've VERY sensitive to cat odors and I am allergic even! I usually put the bathroom fan on while cleaning the box to help while opening/closing the unit -- but have never noticed any lingering odor afterward) The Litter Locker bags break occasionally leaving a nasty mess to clean -- which leaves a MAJOR odor. Save yourself the hassle and test a Litter Champ.
UPDATE JUNE 2011: owned 2 of these LITTER CHAMPS for +2 yrs and LOVE them. I have read other reviews complain about the bags having a fragrance but I cannot smell it unless I sniff it when replacing with a new one. (however I keep the Litter Champ in a low traffic area so I cannot smell the fragrance in the bags. I can see how it would be detectable in a small bathroom)
I donated our 2 litter lockers to a rescue center.
