SiftEase Cat Litter Sifter with Bin, Fast Scoop-Free Litter Box Cleaning

I have 3 cats and 3 litter boxes. They will ONLY use the scoopable clay litter that sticks together when wet. Scooping the litter by hand always takes me 30+ minutes and really hurts my back bending over for an extended period of time. Or on days I got really fed up, I would dump the entire contents of the litter box into the trash, making the trash bag really heavy and wasting a lot of still-good litter in the process. One time the bag got so heavy it broke! I know they have those other cat boxes with the grates, but they never work out the way you want them to. I would watch ads on YT and TikTok wishing I had the money to buy one of those robo-litter boxes. But my gosh they are so expensive, and who knows if my cat would even use it with those weird shapes. Thanks to SiftEase it only takes me 5 minutes to clean all 3 cat boxes!!! The product is high quality, affordable, and 100% worth it. All you need is one to change your life. It comes with an instruction manual that shows you how to dump the box without making a mess, and it’s really easy. It has a small learning curve to it but if you give it a week and follow the instructions I promise you will love SiftEase as much as I do. I like how you can dump the box into the container fast and away from your face versus hand-scooping cause your face is really close to the box when you hand scoop. The smell is unpleasant to have your face close to it for that long. I don’t have to spend 30 minutes digging around blindly for poops and pee clumps anymore. The only downside I can think of is how they market their product to “never scoop again.” This is incorrect, you will still need one hand scooper to get the really heavily urinated litter clumps off the side of the box as they stick to the sides. This is by no means a deal breaker! Even if I have to scrape off the edges, I’m still saving a LOT of time and my back doesn’t hurt. I’m going to purchase another one later as a thoughtful gift for my other multi cat owning friend. They also gave me a free bag of cat toys with my purchase which I wasn’t expecting. My cats are enjoying the toys. I can tell the makers definitely love their felines to make such an impactful and quality product. I’m so happy I purchased this! May 2024 Update: I still stand by my old review. The product has shown no signs of wear or tear, and continues to assist me at litter box cleaning time. It is lightweight but holds up strong even when dumping a weeks worth of litter into it. Sometimes if the poops are too fresh the smaller pieces might get stuck in the soft holes, but that’s why I keep a hand scoop so I can get it out. But it usually falls out on its own when I dump the top part into the trash bag. I have 3 giant size litter boxes scattered around the house and SiftEase handles all of it every week. Pro Tip: Make sure when you are dumping the top part out to have a bag secured underneath to catch any tiny loosened litter remnants. Like I said, it has a small learning curve but once you get it, it’s soooo easy to use. My method: I have a thick-walled cardboard box I recycled from my old litter. The height is just a little lower than the SiftEase itself, and I line it on the inside with an 8 gallon trash bag. After dumping the dirty cat box into the SiftEase, I set the lined cardboard box right beside the SiftEase, longest wall to longest wall. Then I gently begin lifting the scoop part on one side and turning it over at an angle towards the empty box with bag, and all the poops and pee clumps slides down into the bag. I never lift the scoop part completely out of the SiftEase because I’m trying to prevent litter remnants from getting on the floor. After repeating this process with all three of my cat boxes, I gently tie off the trash bag at the top, slowly lift it out of the cardboard box, and dispose of it in the outside trash bin. I have got good at this with practice over the months to the point I never drop a spec of litter on the floor anymore. I will say since my last review, I upgraded the litter I use to a more expensive brand. I am spending even less time scooping the urine clumps off the side of the litter box since then. With the cheaper brands of litter, you really have to scrape it off the walls to get it off the cat box. Even cat boxes that claim to be “non-stick.” But with the new litter I’m using, they just get knocked down when I lightly slam the litter box on the floor. Hope this info helps anyone else who also had that problem. Yay SiftEase!

Purchased to use while taking care of neighbors multiple cats for a month. Used a medium sized, rectangular plastic trash can instead of the included box-bag to hold the sifter. Worked perfectly well, as would a large tall kitchen trash can. (Wanted to keep the included box-bag pristine for possible future cats in my household. The sturdy, rigid filter section is super easy to clean and sanitize) Instead of up to a half hour to scoop all of the boxes, I was able to clean them thoroughly in under 10 minutes (not rushing, petting cats in between). Even the most thorough of scooping jobs doesn’t get the litter as clean as using the SiftEase. In my past cat owning experience; it also works FAR better than 2 different brands of sifting litter boxes. Currently own a Boxscoop 2.0 that was purchased when we were planning on getting a cat. (Not yet used.) It’s a one, big scoop product. Will keep it, and plan to get a large stainless pan to use as a second box whenever we do get a cat. Obviously, will use the SiftEase with the steel pan, and possibly as a secondary sift for the Boxscoop 2.0 for a quick weekly full clean. Unfortunately, all brands of automatic sifters are STILL problematic. Expensive, troublesome, and even dangerous! Not to mention the issues with cleanliness. Still waiting for a well-engineered design… One last recommendation beyond possibly using a rigid plastic trash can (with or without a clean trash bag liner); If there are any clumps stuck to the bottom of the litter pan, DON’T try to dump that clump on the filter part, because the clump may partially break apart removing it from the litter pan. Just put it directly into your discard trash bag/can.

PRICE: 0/5 I docked a star for the price because it’s incredibly expensive for what it actually is, considering a sifting litter box is $16 and this is $45. CLEANING THE KITTY 💩 4/5 It’s fast, easy, you will still need your scooper. Comparing this to a sifting litter box, a separate trash can is better because if your LITTERBOX gets clogged, you have to clean the sift piece (and those holes are far smaller than the siftease). The holes on the siftease are big enough to prevent constant clogging, but small enough to catch clumps. Maybe a few small pieces will fall through, it’s not a big deal to me because it doesn’t stink after. No matter what your litter box is made out of, poop will still probably stick. Maybe a stainless steel litterbox will completely solve this problem. Sifter Build: 1/5 The trash can is now a foldable cloth can, I don’t see how this makes storage easier because you can’t fold the plastic sifter so I am unsure why they changed it to like, this cloth thing. Cleaning it with water might be an issue if it has to dry before using it again. I have not washed it with water yet. If I find this to be problematic, I will replace the cloth trash can with a plastic one from a dollar store. MONEY SAVING 5/5 My litter is lasting a lot longer when I usually have to buy every 2 months (20lbs). So yes, the initial cost of $45 is a lot, but if this means I refill litter fewer times out of the year, then it already paid for itself. Now here are some things to consider that will affect your ease or difficulty of usage: LITTER TYPE: The best litter type to use this with is any clumping litter with little dust. I use okocat’s super soft litter. This is the most tracking / prone to mess litter than out of the three okocats litter. Carefully pour, and try not to make a mess. Better to do this over a litter mat. ( Update: I forgot to mention that inhaling sawdust (pine litter) is carcinogenic so if you use wood based litter, PLEASE wear a mask. Pouring the entire thing will create a lot of dust. I am contemplating changing to tofu litter if I continue to use this system) YOUR CURRENT LITTER BOX SIZE: I’d imagine this would be harder to use if you had an XL litter plastic litter box and you’d have to aim it into the sifter, depending how much litter and how heavy your plastic litter box actually is, it might be more trouble than what it’s worth. For reference, I am physically disabled, but I am ambulatory. I use a cardboard litter box so I don’t worry about how heavy it is, but for someone who is physically challenged, you will have to weigh your pros and cons. IF YOU HAVE A LITTERBOX ENCLOSURE: if you absolutely hate looking at the litterbox and already have an enclosure to hide the box, this may not be the product for you because now you have to hide the siftease. I ultimately decided that cleaning the box in 1 minute is worth the sacrifice of staring at something ugly. Ultimately, I am happy with my purchase. Be aware, based of previous reviews, the return process means the buyer will have to pay for it to be shipped back. You are buying from a small company, so keep this in mind. This is coming from someone who owned the litter robot and went back to manual litterbox care because I’d rather throw away cardboard litter boxes than to clean a huge machine in my apartment tub every 6 months. This system allows me to clean the litter box in a minute or less so I can go about my day. This is not for everyone, but that is why I wrote everything here.

I freaking LOVE this thing. Makes my life so much easier and I never forget to do the litter box now as it is such an easy, almost mindless task. Less scooping, less time near the litter box and more time playing with your cat! It is huge so you can really sift a good amount of litter through it (I have an XL litter box so there’s usually a good amount of litter in there!) and it gets it much cleaner than any scooping ever does. If you have multiple cats, this is truly a must to cut down on your cleaning time and increase the longevity of your litter!

Terrific gadget to make changing cat litter so easy. Just pour the litter in the top part and it catches the waste. The clean litter sifts down into the container below for reuse. Best if used daily. I have had every automated litter box on the market and I prefer this.

I’ll admit, I was skeptical but intrigued by the concept of the Sift Ease. After reading through a number of reviews commenting on its value for the price point, I decided to give it a try. I’m happy to report that I’ve been pleasantly surprised so far. I have two cats, and no matter how many litter boxes I set out, they always gravitate toward the same one. That means scooping at least twice a day, and over time, traditional plastic boxes just get gross and smelly. We recently switched to XL stainless steel litter boxes and the Sift Ease has plenty of capacity to handle the sifted litter from them. One concern I had was the vessel at the bottom getting gross. To work around that, I added a clear 13-gallon trash bag as a liner inside the vessel and it’s worked great. When sifting, there was a little damp clumping litter stuck to the sifter part, but the plastic itself wipes clean very easily and the process was quick and simple overall. Before fully committing, I actually tested the concept myself by using a plastic litter sifter tray from another litter box over a cardboard box and it worked well enough to convince me to get the real thing. The Sift Ease has definitely streamlined my litter box routine and feels like a solid upgrade. All in all, I’ve never been let down by a Shark Tank product and this one is no exception. If it keeps me from buying yet another “clever” litter-sifting gadget every month, then the $50 was well spent.

Love this. Saves my back from bending over and scooping out the box. I have one cat that refuses to use the two automated litter boxes so this is the next best thing. Just pour the used litter through the sifter. I lined the catchment bin for cleaned litter with a garbage bag, lift it out pour it back in the box and then dump the dirty litter into the trash. Easy peasy!

So this would have been great if used for a regular size pellet litter box, but I have xl boxes. It wasn't big enough to be able to dump the litter box into the sifter. If you have a small pellet box this is for you, but for the price, you can make something similar with a bag.

Tengo 5 gatos y este producto me ha ayudado a limpiar los areneros de manera mas rápida y eficiente. Lo recomiendo.

Product is very well built, sturdy and light. My bf loved it, two full litter boxes done in about a minute, and no getting on hands and knees to have your face 2 ft away from poo. Simply sifted and tossed the clumps into the Litter Genie. Boom, done. Price could be cheaper and you'd make millions through increased sales however.

Honestly I find it too expensive but it does work as described and works well. It comes with metal rods you insert so it stays standing up. If you have a lot of litter to change or just want to change a messy litter box fast this is great. I would put something underneath like a sheet or box to catch any litter that falls out when pouring though.

This speeds up the unpleasant job of scooping litter. It's best to use a scooper to loosen any litter that's stuck to the litter box before pouring it through the sifter. This helps to prevent accidental spills on the floor. I have 3 cats & our litter boxes can get gross very quickly! This has definitely made my life easier & I'm very happy with my purchase.

overpriced, not easy to clean since the bottom is made of fabric, have to buy an ikea storage box for instead.
