"I really liked this at first. It felt sturdy, is nice and large, and was able to grab the litter without leaving a bunch behind. But when I went to use it last night, one of the spokes broke.

If you have a large cat or multiple cats and use finely clumped litter, this scoop may not be the best choice. However, for those with standard litter types and larger clumps, it serves well. It's great for easy cleaning, but the design flaws make it less versatile. It is still recommended for its durability and ease of cleaning
