 Awesome product. October 3, 2008

I've now had my litterbox for about a month. At first I was very skeptical about buying one, because it seemed a lot of people were complaining.
Well...I decided to just go ahead and buy one since I had a coupon.
It's probably the best decision I've made in a while.
At first, my 2 cats did try to eat the pellets, which were quickly coughed back up onto the bathroom floor.
Then, they didn't quite understand why they couldn't find their pee.
But.. after about a week, they were using the box with no problems.
The day I got the litter box, I took the old one and threw it out. I didn't even bother trying to coax them.
I don't recommend doing this, but my cats are only 5 months old and have had several litter boxes in the past 5 months. They hadn't quite gotten used to the one they had anyway.
It is very easy to scoop the poops. Some of the little granules get stuck in a poop or two, but that's not a huge loss.
The pads are very thick and retain the pee quite nicely. There is NO smell!!!
I kept the pad in there for 7 days, and when it came out it was very very heavy and a little smelly, so I think maybe changing the pad every 3-5 days would be better.
Also I bought another bag of litter, because I think my cats felt like they weren't getting enough coverage. So 2 bags of litter make them feel better, I think.
They do like playing with the litter, so I have pieces of it floating around in the bathroom, but that's fine. Much easier to sweep up than the grainy clay stuff.
So I definitely recommend this box!

I was a little nervous about switching over to this new product due to several reviews that said that the smell of cat poo was the trade off for eliminating the smell of cat pee. I tried it anyway and I could not be more happy with the results. My two 6 year old cats now pee in the Tidy Cats Breeze and poo in their old litter box. There is seriously NO urine smell...even when I smell the very used pad close up. And the fact that my cats have decided not to poo in it...makes clean-up very easy. And the poo smell is still contained by the original litter box that I now only scoop out with no urine...perfect! Not sure if everyone's cats would do the same thing, but this is has made my life so much better!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!!! Thanks Tidy Cats!!
Breeze Litter Box.... October 1, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Over all i like it more than a regular litter box... except poop sticks to the little pellets and you cant scoop out every one, there'd be none left in the box. also, even though the urine doesn't stink, it doesn't neutralize the poop smell which is much worse. On another note, i find my cat purposely getting pellets out of the box so he can play with them because he likes the sound it makes when he slaps them across the floor, so i still have to clean up litter daily! :(
Makes cleaning up after kitty a breeze! September 30, 2008

I love this litter box. It truly does make cleaning up after my two cats a breeze. My cats are both 5 years old, female, and live strictly indoors. I keep my litter box in a bathroom connected to the master bedroom. It was really annoying to always have to step in cat litter that was tracked from the bathroom into the bedroom, so I decided to give the Breeze a shot.
I followed the directions to set up the box, using a bag of the pellets and a pad in the sliding tray at the bottom. It was easy to put together, so that was a bonus. I placed the new box where the old box was, then put the old box next to it with a towel over the door. For a day or so, the cats continued to use the old box. Then one of the two cats discovered the Breeze and began using it. Once it was broken in, I found that both were using it and discarded the old box. The kit comes with instructions on how to get your cats to use the new system. My method of introduction was very similar to what they recommended.
As for performance now that they've been using it a few weeks, I have to say I do love it. Each evening when I get home from work, I scoop the poo out of the box, shake off the extra pellets, and flush the poo down the toilet. With two cats who like to drink a lot of water, I change the pad every 3 days. Usually on the second day, I'll rotate the tray so they fill up the other side of the pad. By the third day, it really needs to be discarded, and the smell when you open up the tray is quite overwhelming. I need to find something to sprinkle on the pad to make it not so pungent when you pull it out. My other semi-complaint is when the cats poo in the box, it does smell since it's not really covered up. It only matters if you are in the next room over when they go. Maybe invest in an automatic room deodorizer to help this.
All in all though, I'll take those two issues over stepping in litter that's been tracked all over the house, finding it in my couch cushions, on the counter and everywhere else! It is much cleaner and easier to dispose of the waste than the old box. It used to take me 5-10 minutes to clean up after the cats, but the Breeze system takes literally no more than one minute. Keep some wet wipes handy in case you need to freshen up the tray, sides or scoop. And enjoy a much cleaner house!
 Allow me to manage some expectations here... September 29, 2008

I replaced my standard-issue litterbox with this product about six weeks ago. My cats, who are far from divas, took to it immediately. We had one "accident" the first week - but we had accidents with the original box, too, so not necessarily a correlation. In any event, I'm only giving this product three stars because while it works in terms of reducing urine odor, it allows the fecal odor to emanate far beyond what a typical litterbox would. And until I can train my cats to "go #1" in the Breeze box and #2 in a regular box, I'm going to have to pick which odor bothers me less. In addition, the pellets are more costly than standard litterbox filler and need to be replaced more often than the company would have you believe. I do like the fact that my cats make less of a mess with the pellets than they had for years with standard litter. It's nice to walk on my laundry room floor without hearing the crunch of tiny clay pieces underfoot...
