Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I got my first ever cat less than a month ago and quickly realized that having an open box of waste hanging around my house wasn't for me. After looking at dozens of other options, I settled on the IRIS box because it seemed to be the most cost effective of the non-traditional boxes. I'm so glad I did. I love it! It doesn't look or feel like a litter box, just more like a high-end trash can or office tote. You can't tell you're looking at a litter box at all until you get right up to it. Even though it's not closed off completely, it still does a much better job of holding in odors than an open box. I had no issue with my cat figuring out how to use it or not liking it. All I did was set it up and place it next to his existing box. Within two days he had completely transition to it on his own, clearly he prefers to do his business in a private, contained area, and he's no longer wiping his paws on the walls when he's done. I use pine pellets, which are a great fit for this box since they disintegrate with moisture and the sawdust remnants need to be shaken to the bottom. I can shake this box vigorously with no problem since it's light and completely contained. No spills, but the top is large enough for me to scoop and flush solid waste(pine litter doesn't clump and can be flushed). Really happy with this setup. Such a better option than a smelly eyesore open box for sure.
