Highlighted Reviews

β€” Alice

"This Litter Genie is awesome-that's why I bought the jumbo refills. The square opening makes it much easier to dump the larger clumps without half of it going on the floor. With 2 cats the larger Genie lasts for a full week before having to dispose of the bag full of 'Clumpage'."

β€” Philippe

"I use this on my XL Litter Genie and without fail every time I empty it, the bag rips leaving a giant mess of used litter everywhere. It’s now an orchestration to get the bag out and get it into another garbage bag before litter can spew out of the tears."

Bottom Line

Avoid these eco refills due to frequent ripping issues and poor odor control. Stick with the original Litter Genie refills for better durability and performance.
