IRIS USA Cat Litter Box, Litter Box Enclosure with Scoop and Front Door Flap, Covered Kitty Litter Box for Privacy, Portable, Easy to Clean, Navy

I have to say, this is the best litter box I have ever been able to find. It replaced my two top entry litter boxes (what I settled for, but my cats were still tracking litter and had a terrible time with “litter foot”). I’ve had many cats and many litter boxes throughout my life and this one is the winner in my household. My cats are 10 lbs and 12 lbs (both are health weight cats, age 2 and 6) and it fits them perfectly. It’s also not huge like most boxes that take up a ton of space, this one is large enough for my cats but small enough that it can fit discreetly where I need it. I took the flap off both because one of my cats gets really confused and can’t get out lol (which has always been a problem for him). I’ve been through the litter all over the floor, tried mats with no luck, and tried many different litter boxes. From the expensive, even to the self cleaning ones. Out of all of them, my cats track the least amount of litter with this one. I assume because of the little piece that they step on to get in and out that allows litter to fall back into the box. One of my cats is a zoomer after he uses the litter box, so this helps a lot with him having to take a second to get out and the litter isn’t tracked through my home. He also has some issues with using only a particular type of litter, so I had to search for the right litter box. That piece that catches the litter can be detached if not wanted. It also comes with a scooper that is stored INSIDE of the box which I absolutely love because there’s not an unsightly, dirty scooper hanging around the box for everyone to see, and it just stores so nicely. There are 2 things that I would change about this litter box- 1. The bottom is not flat, there are 4 pieces that slightly stick up and litter does gather around it. But it is not hard to remove by flipping the scooper over and pushing it up before scooping it. 2- the lid does not lock in place. It’s not a huge deal to me and my cats don’t knock it off, but when I need to move it I have to grab it by the bottom, I can’t just grab it by the top handle. Those issues are minor to me and do not affect my 5 star rating because this box has been a life saver when it comes to my cats and the messes they were leaving before. Definitely recommend for average sized cats, but if you have a larger cat it may not be a large enough space for them.

I don't currently have a picture of Drakos litter box. I purchased the large enclosed litter box because it gave my cat privacy and it had options you can easily lift up the front of it if your kitten or cat doesn't like using the door and the top comes right off so it's easy to clean. I clean my cellular box everyday and I change out the kitty litter about every week and a half, so I don't have to deal with unpleasant smells and neither does my cat. Even if you weren't to clean your kitty litter box that often or change the cat litter that often this litter box will aid in the prevention of unwanted smells. I also really like that it has the litter tracking deterrent bar, is has made a huge difference in the amount of kitty litter that is tracked. I have a designated carpet rug underneath the litter box so with that deterrent bar and that carpet the litter doesn't track from that area at all. This is the first time that I've ever purchased a litter box like this and I'm happy that I gave it a shot I will now always buy this type. My cat is now 5 months old and this litter box is a good size for him I will probably try to find a larger one and I would also suggest to have one litter box per cat, especially if you have an indoors only cat only like I do. The litter box is made out of a great material it's thick it's stable it's not flimsy whatsoever and I'm sure the type of kitty litter I use plays a part in this but there isn't stickiness or clumps at the bottom of the litter box, it's very easy to clean, and upkeep. - Skye

Been using this for about a week now and it’s a great litter box except for one thing. It’s got this recessed edge around the inside bottom and it makes it a little more difficult to get the dirty litter scraped up and out. The other thing is that there’s two small square protrusions at the front that I don’t know what they’re for that also interfere with scooping out the litter. I don’t use the inside shelf because I feel that it takes up inside space for the cat to move around in there Otherwise I like it

spillinh all over.. messy cat litter

Love this! I have a lot of cats and need a lot of boxes. I’ve built various options to minimize tracking and keep cats happy. This box is the most inexpensive thing I’ve found that solves all the issues, as long as your cat likes covered boxes which some don’t. What I like: the front can be folded back to allow a larger opening while teaching cats to use a covered box. There’s a grid so your cat can drop dust back into the litter box and not track it out. It comes with a scoop!! Great deal you basically don’t need to buy anything else but the litter. Only thing I’d change is the top doesn’t clip on, it just sits on top with a lip on either side of the wall. It’s pretty sturdy but I imagine cats could theoretically knock it off, though mine haven’t. You need to pick it up with two hands because it doesn’t clip on which isn’t a big deal.

I really like the hood for cats that like extra privacy, it also reduces smell. However the lid material is super flimsy with no way of clipping the lid on. My cat knocked the whole top off trying to get out the door! The grid inside is a handy feature and I really like that it holds the scoop and is removable too. The scoop is very poor quality with too large of holes.

cats barely fit inside and sometimes urine comes out from under the cover, as my cats are taller than the base!

We've been using Van Ness enclosed cat litter boxes without complaint for a few years with only one big exception: LITTER TRACKING. We tried different litter types/brands to address this issue but came back full circle to the original all-natural pine-based clumping litter. As the second step we decide to try a different litter box to reduce litter tracking. An IRIS Split Hood Cat Litter Box came highly recommended by Japanese cat owners, and its built-in paw-cleaning grid seemed like a good solution to our problem. Well, what a disappointment this litter box turned out to be! Unlike their Japanese counterparts, the US version lacks a locking device so the hood got knocked out of place every time our cat entered or exited the box! There is a handle at the top, but, since nothing is holding the hood and tray together, the hood comes right off leaving the tray behind! To move this litter box, let's say for vacuuming, you'll need to lift the whole thing with both hands! How stupid is that? [NOTE: Spring-loaded clips can fixed this problem, but it's a VERY annoying oversight especially because it could be easily fixed by a slight design change.] Also, the bottom of the tray has many "bumps" for no apparent reasons. This makes scooping awkward and frustrating. As for reducing litter tracking, the paw-cleaning grid has some effect but not nearly enough. I'd say the grid reduced scattered litter by 10 to 20% in our household. Our cat is smaller than the average (8 lb/3.6 kg), so she doesn't have trouble moving around in this litter box. However, my guess is that most cats in North America would find it too small because the grid cuts into the manoeuvrable space inside. I like the fact the hood is translucent and the front part of the hood flips up for scooping. I also like having the paw-cleaning grid. However, I DESPISE the lack of a locking mechanism to keep the hood and tray together. It seems ridiculous that the box comes apart every time a cat uses it or you try to lift it up. It's stupid not to have a flat tray bottom for scooping too. The bundled scooper can be neatly stored inside the box, but the scooper is for pellets and not suitable for our clumping pine litter, rending it useless. I really wish IRIS USA will employ the same litter box designs used in Japan while adjusting the box size to accommodate bigger cats here.
