Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

First a bit of background.... We started using the breeze system 4 years ago when a new kitten introduced into our multi cat home wrecked havoc and pissing wars. She and the youngest tribe member were pissing everywhere in an attempt to establish dominance. The conversion to the breeze system was pretty effortless back then. I kept a regular box next to the breeze and pretty quickly they all showed their preference for the breeze. Now we've got five boxes around the house for four cats and we have 100% litter box compliance (we had to rehome the kitten who is now blissfully happy in a two cat house). When Purina announced the new hooded box, it wasn't actually a necessity but alas I admit, I am a sucker for new versions of great products. I wanted to use the hooded box in a more trafficked area of the house so the litter could be better hidden. The box with the hood is great. It looks small and I see that some folks say it is too small for their cats. We have two relatively small cats and two that are large. In the first week that this was put into use, it was by far the cats' favorite box and needed scooping and pad changing much sooner than the other breeze boxes. I haven't not as yet seen any out of the box splash. For those of you new to the breeze system, it is absolutely amazing. The pee stays on the pad below and almost never does the odor carry. The poop sits on top of the pellets or slightly under them if your cat buries it. The poop becomes hard shortly after landing on these pellets and it is a breeze (ha!) to scoop. The ONLY problem I ever encounter was a splash of diarrhea that require the box to be cleaned with water. But that would be true of any litter box hit with watery stool. The pads for these boxes have been ridiculously expensive (unless you purchase the scented pads which we all found pretty toxic). But now several companies seem to be making knock off pads so I noticed that purina recently dropped their price significantly. I'll be keeping an eye on this pricing to see if it lasts. BOTTOM LINE: Like other cat owners, I too have tried COUNTLESS litter systems over the year including expensive electric machines and actual toilet training kits for cats. (While I loved the toilet training and it worked superbly for one of the cats, the other one at the time refused to try it so we had to scrap the whole thing). For my money, this breeze system is the single best cat waste system. It is so easy to clean, doesn't require daily maintenance (unless you want to) and the cats love it. With the added hood it just makes the whole litter situation that much more discreet. Oh, and did I mention how much less expensive I've found this to be in the long run? Its a win win win.
