We use pelletized pine wood pallets as an alternative to cat litter. The clay is so dusty. The silicon isn't much better. And they are expensive. Once our cats adjusted to the pellets, we'll never use those kitty litters again. Wood chips are cheaper per pound and all natural. Which works well for us because I can use the sifted wood to fill ruts in my yard. I had a DIY litter box made of heavy duty plastic that worked well for several years. But even the plastic started to absorb the smell of the waste so we decided to give this a try. It works just as well as the plastic one but looks better and the stainless steel shouldn't absorb the smell, which should make it last longer. Only really concerned is that even though it is steel, it is thinner and could possibly bend/dent if it were dropped enough. Other than that, verry happy with it.

Cette litière est un énorme game changer!!10/10

I think it's a great idea but my cats have yet to get in it..I also changed their litter so maybe it's a combination of the 2

Yes it's expensive for this box but if you are gonna use pine pallets. You save sooooooo much money. Its amazing. Pine turns to dust and you swift and it falls through the holes. Kitties never have to dig in their pee. Amazing 👏 love it. Best thing ever

Recently purchased it for my cats. I had another similar but smaller one previously but with not extended wall. This one here is a far better than what I had, no mess from my cats when they clean their litter and the sifting is alot more easier because of the extra room in the bottom. I'm going to purchase another one from this seller.

Nice and big and the stainless is easier to clean.However the sifter holes are too small for pellets. The plastic cap adds few inches in height but since the sifter is only 6” deep even with the cap it does not stop Pellets from being kicked all over the place which is the main reason I bought it. I’d look for a deeper set with an 8”deep sifter piece. Plus since sifter holes small must clean it out more often.

I don't know the material science behind this; but metal is much better than plastic when using wood pellets for cat litter. I used a few different plastic containers and found it difficult to get the sawdust to sift through the holes and it always clumps to the plastic in the outer box. It seems like the plastic provides some sort of stiction for sawdust.With this metal sifter the sawdust goes through with little effort and cleaning is a breeze. TIP: I clean the box in my laundry room utility sink and got a spray hose wand attachment (from Amazon) for this faucet. This spray wand makes cleaning these large bins much easier.PRO:* Sturdy: cats seem to like this over the flexibility of the plastic when they are standing inside.* Tall side extension -- pellets making it out of the sides and back of the box has been reduced to almost none.* For some reason this is easier to clean than the plastic bins. Again, may some sort of stiction for sawdust?* Options to use or not use trash bags. I used without for a few weeks then tried the included trash bags and found them to be well-worth the extra cost due to less box cleaning and less-to-no sawdust escape when pouring sawdust out when cleaning the litter box.CONS:* When using the included trash bags, separating the sift box from the outer box is impossible by hand. I use a large screwdriver to get the separation started, trying my best not to tear the bag. A slight hole always occurs but it is close to the top of the bag and hasn't caused a problem for me.

*Unfortunately after about a month, the metal sifting tray is stained/corroded from urine that won’t scrub off. As another review mentioned, there’s also rust which does scrape off easily for now. I didn’t know there were different grades of stainless steel, hopefully someone makes a better option. Definitely still useable, not sure for how long.This litter box is exactly what I’ve been looking for. I was searching high and low for an XL stainless version of the breeze litter system that would be far more environmentally friendly. With this box I can use pine pellets and there’s no need for using pee pads or litter liners. I put a thin layer of pine in the bottom to soak up the urine (not sure if this is even necessary) and the pine sawdust falls to the bottom with a few shakes of the box. Then I just empty the bottom out and give it a wash once a week. So far it’s working beautifully and it will hopefully last a lifetime.It unfortunately arrived with the plastic top cracked, despite being packaged really well. I didn’t want to return it as I couldn’t find another box on the market like it. I contacted the company directly and they sent me a new litter box without me having the return the old one. Huge thanks!

I’ve spent years searching for the perfect litter box solution and, while not without flaws, this product comes the closest to meeting my needs. It’s certainly expensive, and it’s larger than expected, but it solves many of the problems I’ve had with other systems.The Struggles with Traditional Litter and the Breeze SystemLike many cat owners, I’ve battled the issues with traditional clay litter. The dust gets everywhere, the litter tracks all over the house, and the smell of cat pee becomes a persistent problem—especially when clumping fails. Even with regular cleaning, the odor eventually becomes impossible to manage.Switching to the Purina Tidy Cats Breeze system helped mitigate some of these issues. The pellets eliminated dust, and less litter was tracked around. Third-party pee pads were an affordable solution, but the Breeze pellets themselves were very expensive and needed constant replacement to avoid odors. It was better, but still not ideal.Enter the Stainless Steel Litter Box with Sifting PanAfter another round of research, I decided to try wood pellets again. My earlier attempts had failed because my cats refused to use them, and the resulting sawdust turned into a smelly mess. This time, I paired the wood pellets with this stainless steel litter box, which met two key requirements:Stainless Steel: Unlike plastic, it doesn’t absorb pee odors over time, making it easier to clean and maintain.Raised Sifting Pan: While it’s designed to sift poop, I use it to let sawdust from the wood pellets fall through after the pellets absorb pee.The ResultsSwitching to wood pellets with this box has been a game-changer. Compared to both traditional litter and the Breeze system, the wood pellets keep things significantly fresher. Cleanup is easier, and the cost is unbeatable—just $6 for a 40-60lb bag of wood pellets at Tractor Supply, compared to $30 for a small bag of Breeze pellets.The stainless steel box itself is durable, doesn’t trap odors, and is easy to clean. The size initially seemed excessive, but after seeing my cats use it, I realize it’s probably the right size. Many litter boxes are too small—this one provides plenty of space, and the guideline that a litter box should be 50% larger than the cat seems accurate here.The DownsidesMy only complaint is that the sifting plate’s holes are slightly too small, making it harder for the sawdust to fall through. It’s not a major issue, but larger holes would improve usability.The cost is the other sticking point. This is a very expensive litter box, but given the durability and the savings on litter, I expect it to pay for itself within a few months.Final ThoughtsThis stainless steel litter box, combined with wood pellets, has finally solved many of the frustrations I’ve had with other systems. It’s a significant upfront investment, but for the ease of cleaning, odor control, and long-term savings, it’s been worth it. If you’re tired of the hassles of clay litter or the costs of systems like Breeze, this is an excellent solution—just be prepared for the size and price.

Good litter box. A little difficult to remove the top pan when it’s time to change out the liner, but I clean it less than I did with my other sifting pan, so that’s a huge plus. Remove the top pan with the liner still under it for the easiest refresh/clean.
