Sooooo Big!
Date: November 6, 2009
"I love this one! It is large and roomy and my two cats just love it. They can actually move around inside. I wish it came in another color because I don't do blue - but I do like the pan - and - more importantly - so do the kitties!"

Does the job.
Date: June 1, 2008
"I have had this litterbox for a year now. It works great! My cat is 1yr. old now and loves it. It may take up some room but it will grow with your cat. The only problem that I have had is the hooks that hold the flap on the door have broken. My sister has the same litterbox for her cat. Her order didn't include the flap for the door for some reason?! Another thing i don't like is the top is easy to break. The plastic is thin. The scooper handle when you scoop the litter has an arch shape and catches excess litter in it...can be annoying."

Good Size
Date: February 3, 2008
"This is a very large litter pan. It may take up some space but it is good for a medium to large cat. I have a male Persian and although he is a kitten now, I knew this pan would suite his growing size for the future."

Nice item
Date: January 28, 2008
"I had one of the self-cleaning litter boxes and it kept breaking down and stopped working, so I took it back to the store and bought this one just to hold me off till I found another one, but it works pretty good! It is tall enough for my older cats and cleans up very easy, the litter doesn't get all o0ver the floor as much as other litter boxes I have used."

My kittens love this
Date: April 26, 2007
"When I first saw this litter pan, I liked the idea but hated how big and bulky this set-up looked. I bought a booda dome instead. Anyhoo, my cats now have this litter box. They have plenty of room to move about, the odors stay in and the scoop holder really is brilliant. I would recommend this pan to everyone."

We like it
Date: April 9, 2007
"My cat Sparky was using a smaller more standard litter box and he is a little larger than most cats so I went shopping for a new larger box and came across this online, 2 years later the box is still working out great for us. It holds a ton of litter and is ideal for 2 cats because with my 1 cat it takes him a while to fill it up....typically I scoop out the mess every 5 days. It does use the jumbo bags, usually any brand works well. The only problem that I have had with it is the door on the front recently broke (one of the hooks that holds it on broke off) but it was an easy fix with some twisty ties it was as good as new. I highly recommend this litter box it has been very good for Sparky and me for 2 years."

I would definitely recommend these boxes.
Date: February 26, 2007
"Both the hooded and hood-free Petmate designer series boxes are well-made and considerably cheaper than many of the alternatives available in the pet superstores.
I was pleased with this box, apart from the fact that (as others have mentioned), the lid doesn't really seem to lock into place quite as tightly as I'd like. It's not a big deal, but the cats have managed to knock it off a couple of times, making a bit of a mess in the process. (To the box's credit, my cats are large, somewhat messy to begin with, and derive considerable enjoyment from taking things apart.. so this might not be much of an issue for other users.) Cleanliness-wise, the box is large, deep, and does a good job of containing the litter. For owners whose cats aren't particularly good about squatting when they do their business, urine may collect at the back of the box where the lid and bottom meet, but this is easily cleaned, and seems to be an issue with most of the covered boxes I've encountered. Overall, I'm satisfied, and so are the cats.
For those whose cats might be put off by the use of a covered box, I wholeheartedly recommend the cover-free version of this box. I don't see it listed on this site, but our local Petcos all carry them. The box is large, deep, and has an extra detatchable plastic lip around the rim to deter 'overshooting' and messes from overzealous diggers. I have a large (19 lb.) cat who dislikes covered boxes, but has a tendency to "miss" or get carried away and kick half the litter outside of the box. This is the first cover-free box I've used where I haven't had to worry about that. (I was so enthralled, I immediately went out and bought two more!)"

Sorry- this was a disappointing
Date: February 15, 2007
"Sorry, but the top does NOT snap into place with the bottom- I struggled with both boxes (I ordered two) and both did not work- The top woulld slide off the botom and not "click" into place...so they're going to be returned today..."

Great for a small apartment
Date: February 6, 2007
"My apartment is pretty small. My bathroom is tiny and I don't have a laundry room, so I have to keep this kind of out in the open. It hasn't been a problem so far. The cover keeps the smell in really well, the tray is nice and deep, and my kitty loves the privacy. If you have a small place like me, I'd definitely recommend this litter box. It's handy to have the scoop on the side as well"

Great Box
Date: February 4, 2007
"I have 4 cats and 3 of these boxes and I am buying another one due to fussiness of one of my cats. 3 are large cats and 1 is small. I do recommend the Deluxe models as it gives a great amount of room inside. They love the privacy and so do I. Best liter boxes to date. Tried the automatic and they were terrible.
Recommend highly!"

"I had my previous litter pan for 9 years with no problems. This litter pan I've had for 2 months and the plastic has cracked and the lid doesn't latch any longer. Terrible quality and I've writted to Petmate as well to complain. For the cost of the pan and the special liners you have to buy, I was expecting something much more durable."

POOR DESIGN
Date: January 1, 2007
"MY WIFE AND I PURCHASED THE PETMATE DESIGNER DELUXE LITTER BOX FOR OUR 2 BENGAL CATS. ONE CAT IS 20 POUNDS AND THE OTHER IS 10 POUNDS AND WE ARE HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE PRODUCTS DESIGN. WHEN THE CATS URINATE, THE URINE GETS UNDER THE LID WHERE IT ATTACHES TO THE BOTTOM PART AND IT PUDDLES UP ON THE RIM. THE URINE LEAKS OUT ONTO THE MAT OR THE FLOOR. BOTH MY WIFE AND I HAVE CHECKED THE LID TO MAKE SURE IT WAS A TIGHT FIT AND IT WAS ON PROPERLY EACH TIME WE HAD A MESS ON THE FLOOR. WE HAVE HAD THE CATS FOR 10 YEARS AND THIS IS THE FIRST LITTLER BOX WHERE I HAVE HAD TO WORK SO HARD CLEANING UP THE FLOOR OR THE BOX AFTER EACH USE. WE ARE LOOKING TO REPLACE THE LITTER BOX."

Bad Design
Date: September 11, 2006
"I bought two of these for the four cats I have. I have had them for approximately six months, and in that time the latches on the side do not latch anymore. My cats don't like how the lid tries to come off as they are trying their best to hide their mess. I would not recommend this litter box to anyone."
