Developed by The Angelcare Group — known for their 25-year legacy in innovative care solutions for humans, like the Diaper Genie, the LitterLocker by Litter Genie is designed to be the ultimate, hassle-free solution for controlling cat litter odours. In three steps, owners can deposit dirty litter into the bin and it locks in the odours, meaning no lingering smells. Once it is time to empty the bin, the liner can be cut off and sealed before being placed into the outside bin. Your Cat put the theory to the test…
The testers:
Mark Cureton with his cat, Patience, aged 7.
First impressions are of a small camping portable toilet, which in theory, it is! It’s a decent size with a clean look and smooth corners that should fit in with the style of your utility room (or garage in my case). It comes with a carrying handle for ease.
How it works
The first job is placing the waste liner inside the unit. The lid is easily accessed to allow for the placement of the disposal bags and there are simple, picture-based instructions for the fitting. The bags are basically a long strip of plastic in a replaceable frame that you then tie a knot into at the base and push down the depth of the container. The fitting is simple but I did break one of the corners quite easily. But this did not matter as when the supply is exhausted, you simply purchase another pre-filled frame. Place the frame back into the container, close the lid and you are ready.
The system comes with a scoop and holder that can be fitted to the unit on either side – which suits a lefty like me. The litter and contents are placed into the bag. The scoop grooves are wide enough to allow the unused litter through – I was using Catsan which was perfect.
When done, push the tray back in and the unit needs emptying, either lift the lid out, cut the top of the plastic – there is a handy, but safe, little blade to help cut the bag when ready – tie it off and dispose.
The verdict
The system is easy to use once you get the hang of it which should not take too long. Any and all unpleasant smell is trapped in too, making the whole process as convenient as can be. Lastly, the product as a whole is lightweight meaning when required, it can be transported and stored away with ease, too.
