Product review: Litter-Lifter

A number of years ago, a friend told me about this "awesome" litter scoop. She was very excited about it, and I thought it was odd. Why would someone get so excited about scooping cat poop?

She sent me one and then I understood.

The scoop is called the Litter-Lifter, and if you have cats, you need one of these scoops! I recently contacted the company about reviewing their product, and they were great. They sent me a box full of scoops.*

The main reason this scoop is different is that the tines are triangle shaped instead of flat. It allows the litter to flow through faster, and it catches more debris.


Their scoops come in three sizes. Left to right: The Original, the Beamer, and the Travel.

They offer all sorts of fun colors! (If you can't decide, they offer a fun "surprise me" option on their website. You can buy these scoops at retailers, but in my experience, the color selection is limited. If you have a preference, it's better to order direct. :-)

The company sent samples of NEW colors. Aren't they nice and bright for spring? Note: because they are brand new, I did not see them listed on their website yet, but I'm sure they will be added soon. Email them if you'd like one of these. They responded quickly to my query. They are also on Facebook if you'd like to contact them there.


Let's get down to business. We have two large boxes and one small box. I have scoops right next to each box. I wanted to compare the Litter-Lifter versus a generic scoop. . .but I dislike using generic scoops and no longer have one. Take my word that using a Litter-Lifter is faster and easier than a plain scoop.


After scooping out the waste, I sifted through the litter again with the Lifter, and look what it picked up. . .
It picks up tiny pieces of debris, making your litter stay cleaner and last longer!

Now, for more fun stuff. Litter-Lifter generously gave us some extra scoops for a giveaway! You could win these, one of each size:

Please leave a comment with a way to get in touch with you. We'll randomly draw a number on Tuesday March 18. Because we are paying for the shipping, we can only have this open to U.S. folks only. (Sorry to our international visitors.) Good luck!

* We were sent several Litter-Lifters to review. The opinions posted here are our own, and we were not compensated in any way.

It's so weird the things Mom gets excited about and this scooper is one of them! She loves the feature that it scoops up the evil pieces of debris. We would love to win this for her. Great review!

Marg said...

That does look like a great litter scooper. We would love to win those great scoops. Great review. Have a great day.

Intriguing that they have new sizes - I have two of the original, which means I'm at least one scoop (if not two) short for my current household configuration. :-)

I make quite a mess with the ones I have. I would like to give one a try. My contact email is on the front of my blog. Have a good one!

That does look pretty awesome! Usually we kitties don't care about things like litter scoops - I mean, that is what humans are for, after all - but anything that helps get rid of the bits and keeps the litter cleaner gets a paws up from me!

You know, when I think spring fashion season, I totally think it is time to spruce up my litter scoop :)

I just adore this company!!

As an owner of three cats with three large litter boxes, I need all the help I can get. I will definitely be looking into these scoopers and hope that there's a variation that comes in snow shovel size.

Seriously though, I like the angled slots to reduce the number of "stragglers". A simple and effective concept.

Ahh, the picture (seeing the triangular tines) really helped. I couldn't quite figure out why it was so great before! Now it makes sense. :)

Roberta said...

I give these lifters 4 paws up. I love them. Thanks, Rene, for telling me about them. The colors are so bright and pretty and they really do a good job.

Those look very efficient! We would have to have Purple! No, Angel, Red!

Mommy already bought a scoop a couple weeks ago. Not the Lifter, and it's cream colored.
:-(
So good luck to those who want a new scoop in a pretty color!

Oh, how neat. We know Jan just can't live without a special pooper scoop, so we'll throw a paw into the giveaway. :)

Interesting, mum says she hasn't seen these in the store at all.

Kathy P said...

I haven't seen these but would love a scoop that gets the smaller debris. I have 5 cats and need all the help I can get!

Unknown said...

I'd love a scooper that really works for a change, especially one that will get every little bit. My 2 cats would be truly happy with a totally clean box.

Unknown said...

Those little bits drive my OCD-self nuts! I would absolutely love one of these!
