Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I love over-engineered sleek products and will pay extra money for them. However, the longer I've had this product, the less enthused I am about it. First, I like the look and top entry, but there is no reason it should cost $100 for those two items alone. So, what's wrong with it. First, the liners. Those got scraped within the first two changes. My 10 week old kittens would tear these down trying to bury their business and the liner would terribly distort - I can't imagine what a full grown cat would do to them. The liners are also pretty gross to clean and don't dry quickly. Plus, along the seams they trap moisture (urine) and I think are just darn useless. So, let's talk about other design elements. As others have noted, the scoop is on the outside. Why can't this be on the inside somehow? One of the central reasons any of us want this box is to have less litter in the floor. So, after scooping, the shovel goes on the outside so more litter can drop on the floor? And if anyone coming to visit your house saw this sleek little box and visually passed over it, their attention would be drawn back to the darn scoop attatched to the side. I picked this design for its ability to be out in the open and not visually appear to be a cat box. Thanks Modkat for making sure no one mistook this for anything other than a cat box. Let's talk about the lid. The lid is designed with holes so the litter drops back into the box. Great. But when you flip the lid, modkat has designed a handle/hole in the side of the box where any litter that remains on the lid slides off through the "handle" and onto the floor. So frustrating. Lastly, this product needs to be just a bit bigger. It seems like my cat ends up stepping in his business because he doesn't have enough room to maneuver around and bury his business and then jump out. This results in some really unhappy messes. So.....with all this, I would go with something cheaper until they improve these issues. I always love products that have a design meets functionality sort of spin, but the longer I have this product, the more I realize the functionality just isn't there.
