I had another litter genie for quite a number of years that I need to replace it. But there were things about the old one that I found a little annoying so I decided to replace it with this one and I’m really glad I didHere are the reasons why I like this litter genie better than the other.1. This one DOESN’T have a spring enclosure but regardless it still does a great job of trapping in and keeping out litter odor.My previous genie: had a spring loaded enclosure to trap the litter in the smell. This made it hard to open with one hand when you have a full scooper in the other.2. This new Genie is more economically designed so when you open the lid to scoop the litter, it stays open whereas the old genies lid sometimes would close when you’re in the middle of scooping.I have three cats who are champion poopers this little genie is doing a great job and I’m very happy withThe only thing negative I have to say is that the lid flips open a little easier than the old one so if you need to move it, just grab it from the bottom so you don’t have any spilling accidents.
