This product has become a household staple! Scooping my old litter box killed my back. I'm not that old but it was just annoying chore that no one likes doing. I love my cat but not her mess. I was afraid with her being older she would not like the fact that it did not have a cover. I was wrong, she enjoys it just as much as we do. I love the ability to be able to use the "my petsafe" app in my phone, its a neat feature. I would recommend this to friends and family. I would also recommend this for a picky cat/kitten.
