It's True These Trays Are Odor Free! Worth the Cost!
January 1, 2018
LOVE this product!!!
These refills are expensive, roughly $15 a pop. With that said, we have two cats and just moved from a large home into a townhouse and I love this product. With our home, we were able to keep the litter box in our garage since we installed a kitty door but that's not possible in the townhouse. We've been using these litter tray refills for 5 weeks. We set up the ScoopFree litter box with a separately purchased scrap rug to collect any loose blue litter crystals from the litter tray. The refill trays themselves are no brainers to set up - simply lift the cat box housing (it's clean...), take the lid included with the new refill tray and use it to cover the old tray (absolutely no smell!) and then put the new tray in the same spot as the old tray and lower the housing in place. (I use heavy duty tape to tape the lid onto the old tray so that when I throw it into the garbage dumpster the litter doesn't spill all over.) One of these trays last us about 8 days (with 2 cats). They can use the box 35 times (counter on litter box) before we notice ANY odor at all. I hate litter boxes and this is a great product!!! By the way, I purchased my ScoopFree Litter Box for $200.00 at my local, large chain pet store then found it online at Amazon for under $100.00.

Disappointed, may lose loyal customer!

I have been ordering this product since last year. Last year it was amazinggggggggg. This year I am not sure what is going on but the last 3 pack I purchased I used them all within in a month!!! I never had to do that before! I ordered them again and tried to remove the lining to see if that would work and nope. 3 trays in a little over a MONTH!!! The point of buying such a high priced cat litter system is to reduce the need to change the crystals so often. I don't know what they are using but these crystals can't be the same. And the lining on the box sucks.

We've owned a ScoopFree Ultra for 4 months now and we loved it. We rescued a 3 month old kitten and when we brought him to his new home, we were worried about whether he would jump straight to using this system or would need a transition from a typical litter box. To our surprise, he had no issues and has used it perfectly since day 1. Then our most recent shipment of ScoopFree Litter Tray Refills arrived, which included a new plastic liner to prevent leaks...
This is great conceptually, however, as all cat owners know, our little furry friends like to cover their waste after going to the bathroom. Since the liner is not permanently adhered to the cardboard below, when our cat goes to cover his poop, he scratches the edge of the lining up off of the cardboard. Then the litter crystals get trapped under the liner, which creates a bulge that the automatic scooper can't scoop through, and BROKE our entire system! This had happened when the first tray of our set of 3 was due to be changed, so I changed it out and it didn't break the scooper, but this time it was 5 days into using this second tray and the scooper is now completely bent and scoops the wrong direction and the tray is useless, as now it is way less effective at scooping and leaves much of the feces trapped on the other side of the scooper. At $15/tray this is completely inexcusable and if the trays are all going to be made like this in the future, I will have to return the entire system and go back to a traditional litter box.
I love the convenience of this system and really hope that PetSafe fixes these trays ASAP so that we don't have to go back to a manual box!

Used to be four to five stars; the purple litter trays seem to work best, but are also the least available for some reason.
Recently we received a three pack and we've already gone through it in less than a month. Waste of money, as the trays used to last at least 10-14 days, without any odor. Within days of changing everything out, the trays smell and the litter crystals are a very weird color. The formulation appears to have changed significantly and are no longer effective. We have used this system for over 4 years.

Highly toxic!!!! So my cat I guess was cleaning himself and got these caught in his throat. Well needless to say he didn’t make it. We opened up his mouth after he violently ran through the house and he fell over, his mouth was full of the crystals.

I have a couple problems with this. One box use to last 3 weeks for one cat but now it is really rancid approaching the 2 week period. It doesn't seem to neutralize urine like it use to. On top of that the price for a 3 pack went up $18.! That is outrageous!

This was the best investment I've made for my cats! I keep it in a little used bathroom and change the tray once a week. I have 3 cats and a child who rarely visits!
It is worth the money to me!!!
After months they still scratch to cover their business sometimes. But it's not an issue.
Works great but now I need to get it set up to send me a 3 pack every 3 months automatically.
They were hesitant at first so I kept their box there beside it for a couple of weeks. One day the old box was just gone and some (dirty) sand was in this new box. No accidents. No problems. They transitioned fine.
My only problem is the sharp edges on the blue crystals. Need to wear slippers!

The crystals appeared used up extremely quickly and turn yellow, which is gross looking, but they also do not mask any smell. They do not properly stick to feces, which means the feces gets stuck on the mental rake in the litter box when it scoops it. Using these disposable boxes caused a bug infestation in my home. The bugs were attracted to the feces. The cardboard flap is not sufficient to mask smell or prevent rotting and bugs. Feces cannot sit in a box like that for a week, much less a month. The crystals get used up quickly too and did not last a week with one cat before the boxes would become so disgusting, I had to replace them. Additionally, even with a litter mat, some litter will still get tracked across the floor, and these crystals are like stepping on tiny Legos. All around horrible product.

I used to love this product, and my cats and I have relied on it for many years. Over time, the quality has gotten increasingly poor. The bags of litter have gotten smaller/contain less product, such that one tray now lasts my cats no more than 7 days (if it's not changed out BY the 7th day, it's unfathomably disgusting. These same trays used to last nearly two weeks for both cats. Additionally, the trays used to come with their own disposable bags, and they no longer do. So, less product, no bags... and yet, as others have noted, the price has gone up!!! My husband and I--not to mention our cats--are disgusted. ScoopFree was the best product in the game for years, but at this point, we are searching for alternatives.

I have been using this since January for my two cats. The last two shipments something is different. The crystals are not masking the odor the same. Since I.T does not clump the urine I.T builds a smell of ammonium. I’ve had to change the last trays a lot sooner than before just because of the smell it’s not even full. I am about to just use the tray with clumping litter and not the trays. Very expensive for not working
