PetSafe ScoopFree Crystal Cat Litter & Refill Tray with Lid, Lavender Scent, 4.3 Lb Bag with Each Tray, Pack of 3

So like many reviews you've already read have said, this system works amazingly. The litter, the tray, the powered box itself, they all result in an end product that is greater than the sum of its parts. Cat smell is near non existent unless you just happen to be unlucky enough to go right next to the box in the 2 minute window between when your cat took a giant stinky and the time your box takes it away. Once it's raked, the smell is totally gone.Even more important (for me) than the complete lack of odor is the ease of cleaning it. Slide used tray out, cover it with included lid, slide new tray in. The whole process takes less than 15 seconds and there's absolutely 0 cleaning involved.The machine is durable, and I'm only on my 2nd one even though I started using this system 6 years ago. After 5 years and a few months, the motor finally started to go. It still worked most times, but every 5th or 6th rake the tines would stop half way through and I'd have to give them a nudge. Rather than dealing with all that, I got more life out of it than I had expected upon first purchasing, so I scrapped it and got a new one (which was a revamped model, seems they changed them over the years).New model is improved in every way. Smaller footprint in all 3 dimensions while keeping the same litter space, function buttons are better laid out and easier to use, and digital display is much easier to see. It even still uses the same tray system, so the 3 trays I hadn't used yet didn't go to waste. The only thing I don't know yet as I've only had the new one about a year is if it will have the same longevity as the original.It's basically a perfect product for what it's designed (and claimed) to do, surpassing literally every expectation I had....by a good margin in some respects.So what's the catch? Easy, this is a great example of getting what you pay for. This system is expensive not only initially but on an ongoing basis. It's basically a subscription service as you're tied into using just the replacement trays they sell. Sure, they sell a reusable tray that you can wash, but not only does that defeat half the purpose of owning this machine, but the cost savings isn't all that much as you'll still be buying their litter, only in bag form instead of in the disposable tray. Doing it this way WOULD save you about 20%, but it actually doesn't. The reason for this is that being a reusable tray, it's just plastic on the bottom, while the disposable tray has a bottom that's seemingly designed to partially absorb urine through its top layer (bottom of tray is waterproof, so it doesn't go all the way through). This seems to serve 2 purposes upon testing. 1st is it means the litter lasts longer between needing tray/litter changes. 2nd is that it traps the smell much better, which makes sense. So you save about 20%, but then have to change the litter about 20% more often AND clean it AND there's more smell between cleanings. It's a net negative to do it this way.What nobody has really discussed in reviews is what this convenience cost ACTUALLY is, so I did some simple math to give you an idea.2 cats = tray change every 2 weeksUsing the average price of these trays (they fluctuate quite a bit so I stock up whenever the price is slashed), each tray comes to about $21. So with 2 cats, that's $42 every 4 weeks, or $546 a year. If you're in a high tax state like California, may as well round that up to $600 after the 9.5% tax is factored in. That's in addition to the $200 up front price for the litter box itself, and will be an ongoing expense as long as you have cats.... So for most of us, it'll be an expense for life. Lol.Fortunately if you're a 1 cat household, you can cut those prices in half as the # of uses really is the only factor in how frequently the tray needs to be replaced.Also note, my math might be a little on the lesser expensive side since one of my cats is normal size, but my other is a tiny thing at 4.8 pounds fully grown, so I'd think logically she doesn't tax the system as much as a regular size cat. I've read many reviews where people with 2 cats get only 12, or even just 10 days out of a tray. Highly likely my 14 days is because of the little one.So in summation, if the aforementioned expenses are something you really won't notice or find reasonable, this is an absolute no brainer and you should stop reading this right now and buy one. If on the other hand you'll absolutely notice this kind of spent money, then you should weigh your options.

I’ve been using the PetSafe ScoopFree Crystal Cat Litter Tray Refills for my two large cats, and I couldn’t be happier. Switching from clay litter to these crystal trays has been a major upgrade. The crystals do an amazing job of controlling odors and staying dry, which means no more litter sticking to my cats' tails or fur—a huge relief!The trays are super easy to replace, and while the crystals are pricier than clay, they last longer and save me the hassle of constant cleaning. For anyone with multiple cats or tired of the mess that comes with traditional litter, these refills are absolutely worth it. Highly recommend!

I adore my cats, but after having a major illness and being treated over several years with different types of chemotherapy I just could no longer muster the strength to lift and to even to scoop the litter box anymore. I thought that by having my traditional scooping litter delivered right to my door that my litter box struggle would be considerably less. I was wrong. I could just barely manage getting down on my knees in order to scoop the box, but what I could not do was carry out the heavy bag of scooped clumps and remaining dirty litter in the box or lift the heavy bag up over the side of the dumpster to dispose of it. I also could not manage to wash and sanitize the box every 7 or 9 days as I always have. I was becoming very concerned about the health and happiness of my pets and myself. I worried about the bacteria that was multiplying at an incredible speed, the odor, and more than anything that the cats would either hold their urine or attempt to find alternative places to eliminate because I was unable to properly dispose of their obviously filthy and smelly waste or keep their litter and box as fresh as possible. Enter the fresh scoop box, and WOW has it changed my life and my cats lives! Now when it comes to the litter box, essentially it scoops itself. After 12-14 days I lift the very light housing up away from the disposable litter tray, take the litter tray box top out from under the litter tray which now contains the dirty litter and cover the used litter tray with the clean box top. I then take 4 pieces of inexpensive packing tape or two of giant rubber bands and tightly secure each side of the box. It is amazing to me that approx 14 days of used odor free litter ( produced by 2 cats) is contained in a (after taping it closed) compact, clean, approx size is 25"x15 and approx 2-3" thick (deep),extremely light weight, and in white unmarked box. I can carry the box outside under my arm and can with absolutely no effort at all drop it right into the dumpster. I used to have layer 3 new stretch scented trash bags inside of each other to make a reinforced bag that was certain not to tear with the weight of the used litter, get on my knees next to box and try scoop the very thick, sludgy, wet, and heavy globs of used litter twice a day. The trash pick up is three times a week, because the urine odor attracts rats, I would have wait with an extremely heavy stinking garbage bag with 2-3 days worth of dirty litter until just before the garbage pick occurred to throw out the dirty litter. I would always panic when I had to rush around after hearing the dump truck coming down the street trying to get the very heavy garbage bag outside and in the dumpster before the truck arrived. Many times, even if I could use a small cart to carry the bag out, I just could not lift the bag up into the dumpster. The whole issue was just becoming a HUGE problem and worry for me. I am so relieved and happy to say, that thanks to the technology of scoop free litter box and efficiency that Amazon offers concerning shipping and delivery, I am no longer worrying or struggling just trying to take care of my pets. It is really awesome!! The only downside and I hate to point out any negatives with this lifesaver, is the price. It is really expensive for me now that I am on a fixed income due to my health. I worry about the price continuing to escalate at a rapid rate over time. As for the product 5 stars as for the price I wish that there was a better lower price offered for buying the 6 pack of refills or a refill program or club that the company-not Amazon- offered for a significant savings for consistent consumers. I will say that the best and cutest added bonus of the scoop free litter box system is that the cats LOVE ❤️ to race over to the box after they hear the "arm" mechanism engage, and they wait crouching down until the "show" starts. My smarty pants bengal has figured out how the whole thing works. She will round up her trusty, but less smart partner in crime, step halfway inside of the box and with over exaggerated scratching movements attempting to "set off" the cleaning mechanism. After a few seconds of wild movement, she quickly backs up and out of the box then crouches down with her buddy on the mat waiting for the show to start. Hilarious! I highly and definitely recommend this litter box. This box especially addresses concerns for anyone who struggles daily ( due to health, mobility, age, living arrangements, etc) or simply really dislikes the whole process of lugging home crazy heavy boxes of dusty litter, scooping the box religiously, disposing of the dirty litter, the odor produced from the litter box, and suffering from allergies as well as extra dusting/sweeping around the home due to the dust processed from even the newest scoopable litter.

The ScoopFree Cat Litter Tray Refills are an absolute game-changer for keeping my home fresh and my cat happy. The premium blue crystal litter absorbs moisture instantly. I love that it’s low-tracking and doesn’t stick to my cat’s paws, so there’s no mess outside the box.Each tray lasts weeks without scooping, making this a hassle-free solution. Just swap out the tray, and you’re done—no more dealing with smelly clumps! While the price is a bit higher than standard litter, the convenience and odor control more than justify the cost. If you own a ScoopFree self-cleaning litter box, this is a must-have!

I’ve been using the PetSafe ScoopFree Crystal Cat Litter Tray Refills in the lavender scent, and it performs well for about 65 uses, according to the counter on the box. During that time, there’s no noticeable odor, and my cats haven't rejected it. I personally find the lavender scent better than the original or unscented versions. The convenience of simply removing the old box, putting a lid on it for disposal, and sliding in the new one after cleaning the rakes is a real plus. However, the price is a bit steep, so it's not the best value.
