Warning about the Litter Lifter

Is this the lifter?

I vowed to never buy another plastic litter scoop again in my lifetime.

Cast aluminum for me.

Yes, that's the one, but I found it cheaper at Petco.

What's so good about cast aluminium?

I'll keep that in mind, although I haven't really had any issues with my current scoop. What's so special about this one?

Yes.

I didn't buy it because it's more efficient (though it is). I got it because a LOT fewer small pieces fall through. And the Petco price is pretty darn good.

Arkona, it's good-bye to shaking the scoop. When you lift it, the litter sifts through in instants, like water or very fine sand. Saves litter too.

Interesting. I never thought shaking the scoop to be a hassle, though

Neither did I, but this thing is really something. It catches smaller pieces, sifts smoother, and seems to leave a cleaner box. For $5 at Petco it's really worth a try.

I've just watched the short video for the litter lifter on Petco's website and showed it to my husband. He thinks we should buy it, but there's no Petco in HK so I'm going to buy it online. It's selling for $4.94, a very reasonable price to me!

I have both the Dura Scoop (the cast aluminum one) and a Litter Lifter. I've had the Dura Scoop for probably 7-8 years...so they definitely hold up. Even the coating on the handle hasn't dried out.

I tend to use them both. I have two huge boxes (made from storage totes) and generally only scoop every other day. The Litter Lifter is pretty flat and I can't pick up as much with one pass like I can with deep scoop on the Dura Scoop. I also don't like the angle of the Litter Lifter for digging down a couple inches into the litter (I tend to keep it pretty deep). So I use the Dura Scoop for the "heavy lifting" and then make a a couple passes with the Litter Lifter to get the smaller pieces.

Interesting item...

I will look into it soon, as my ''scoopers'' need to be renewed soon.

Call me cheap, but 5$ for a scooper??? I usually get mine at the dollar store.

Nevertheless, you got my curious about it!
