Litter Genie Refill (1 Pack)

I love that you can pull it out to any length wanted. Definitely holds the smell. Once you take it out & tie it up, you can smell the bag & cant smell poop. Yes I tried to smell cat poop. No other way to find out if it held odor as described lol. Im not good at tying knots in anything but my shoes so I use zip ties.

Okay I got this to dispose of used clump litter and hopefully dispose of odors too. And not have to run to the dumpster every day. I am skeptical as far as holding the odors. Just set it up today. Set up instructions are vague. I will update my review at a later date. It is now 9/6/2014. 8/16/2015 I have canned the whole idea of this product. I have four cats and this concept was a good idea for 1 cat. My Cons - Product (container part) too small. Mouth of container not wide enough for LARGE clumps - disposal bags wastes too much for disposal for tie off etc. Yes, it did contain the odor and that was a Pro for the product. In the end the product went in the garbage as durability and my cons did not work in the end. I gave this product in the beginning 3 stars but after using for a while I now give it ONE STAR.

Other than the fact that we had to go on-line to find out how to first use the bags with the Litter Genie Plus, that product with a replacement pack constitutes a good system. This replacement pack fits both the Litter Genie & Litter Genie Plus. The pack is actually one long tube of litter bag type of material that is tied off to create a bag, and later cut whenever you want to discard some cat feces. Then more is pulled down and re-tied, with that process being repeated until the entire package is empty. When starting a new replacement pack you should handle the material very gently after breaking the tab. I use the Genie mainly for feces, only occasionally including clumped litter. Sometimes you have to jiggle the Litter Genie container or push the cat feces down with the scooper while holding the movable tray out, but other than that, it couldnt be easier, and there is virtually no odor when the Litter Genie/Plus is closed. I keep a spare refill pack on hand for convenience. Granted the price has gone up, and it really could be a little cheaper, but still, I prefer the convenience of the pack to attempts to hack the system by trying to use large garbage bags, because the Litter Genie refill packs are strong enough, and with one cat (Chloe) lasts us for weeks.

I love this product. Easy to use and no more litter smell. Litter Genie is great in a small house or apartment.

Works well at first. The inner trap door (for lack of a better word) gets clogged pretty easily after a few months, making it difficult to get the waste to drop down into the bag without jiggling the whole unit for a few seconds and opening and closing the door, and I do use clumping litter. I wipe down the top (accessible) areas frequently, too, so not quite sure what the issue is. For the price its still worth the purchase.

The refills that I’ve received so far come in good condition, and after setting it up a couple of times it eventually gets easier to get rid of and replace. My only complaint is how pricey they can be. 1 refill currently runs for $12.99 and 3 at $22.46 (not counting taxes and fees), but that’s the price to pay for making litter cleanup a bit more convenient. Aside from that, it has never failed to work as intended!

Tried making do with other methods but came back for the great odor control and convenience. Only problem is dont really know when Im at the end of the roll. This will cause it to fall with all the weight of the litter. I have it as a convenience for my cat sitter to scoop out every day without having to take it out to the trash outside every time. If she had to take it out every time she might not scoop! Unfortunately, I found liner had fallen when I came back from a trip, but at least she scooped! Easy to wash out and start again clean and fresh.

Sure the idea is slick. I have watched 3 people try to figure out how to use the Litter Genie refill and watch them have no clue. After head and butt scratching they can make it work. Once you know the tricks...hey it is pretty easy. Next on the agenda is that I dont know what the marketing department was smoking when they came up with cartridge lasts up to two months for one cat. Boy that is some creative marketing. My wife and I are still arguing about it but we *think* we got 5 refills out of the refill cartridge. Our one big girl kitty can do some major damage on that in about 3 weeks. OK so we get less than HALF the advertised amount. Side note and not included in the star rating is the fact that the litter genie we purchased will fall apart when you pick it up. There is a snap latch toward the bottom that is supposed to latch. Good luck with that. It doesnt engage with the slot at all. We checked the local store and all theirs were just like that. I have some experience with molded parts in consumer electronics and can honestly say these parts have problems and the company just got shipped them out the door. Quality control I think not. Hooray for us! So all in all while the whole shebang is a great idea the base is poorly executed and the greed glands were on high when they priced the refill cartridges. These are plastic sleeves folks not even zip lock bags. The point is you are paying an enormous amount for a sleeve to carry turds! I figure about $1.25 per time you empty the base. Yee haw! I will pursue another solution but this will have to do for now. Ironically I sent my wife out to get the competitors model and this is the one she brought home. Our neighbors have another brand and it works MUCH better. Dont know about lifespan of the refills or the price so keep that in mind. Also keep in mind that you get to tie a knot in the bottom of the bag to start using and a knot in the top of the bag to dispose. If you are a micro knot ninja you may also get more uses per refill. If you are normal maybe not so many. If the base were well made and the bags lasted about twice as long for the money I would have been happy.

Wow.....I havent any idea why, but these all went on sale last night for $2.49! I managed to buy 3 and when I checked back later they went up even higher than before? This company should realistically drop the price, they would sell so much more which would bring the manufacturing costs down. Like everyone else I love the litter genie but hate paying for the refills. Other companies know this and charge less while also giving longer refills. For what I paid and the quality Id give 10 stars everyday.

This is a poopsack that fits in the litter genie. It is a sack what that holds poop. It holds poop effectively, therefore it is an excellent product. It does exactly what it is mean to do, which is to be a sack that contains poop.
