Before I purchased the Petmate Litter Locker Plus I read other reviews. I almost didn't order it after reading some negative comments. I have been using this product and it works great. It became obvious that the people that wrote negative reveiws didn't take the time to understand how this product works. It is easy to set up, empty and clean. I clean my cat box daily and the first cartridge lasted a little over a month. I am very satisfied with this product and would recommend it.

I love this thing. I've used it since Nov/Dec 2007, and have not had problems with odor or tears/rips in the bag. It is a matter of reading the instructions, some common sense, and setting it up properly. I throw out a filled bag every 2 weeks, and a catridge lasts about 2 - 3 months for my 1 cat. I'm still on my 2nd cartridge!!! The trick is to let the waste drop into the knotted end of the bag and then turning the wheel a half-turn to lock in the odor; and the next time, just scoop waste into it, close the lid, open the top half and readjust the bag to let the "new" waste drop into the end, rather than waste 6 inches of the bag with each half-turn of the wheel. I've used the Diaper Genie II refill cartridges as well, as they're more easily found in stores, and costs about $5 at Target.
I think those who posted negative reviews did not set it up or use it correctly. I have not had odor from it even when I forget to turn the wheel sometimes, after scooping waste into it. The lid and plastic bag keep the odor locked in. But when I do remember to turn the wheel, there is no odor when the lid is opened. I think the newer batches are more flimsy - I bought mine off ebay as a used item, and a few months later, bought a new one from Walmart as a gift for a friend. I opened the box to check that everything was ok, and found the new one to be made of thinner plastic and the parts just did not fit properly.
Warning: In the summer, you might want to throw out the stored litter/waste more frequently. I found maggots (sandfly maggots, maybe?)all over the inside of the lid and inside the bag the other day, after only a few days from the last change - ewww! Spent an hour cleaning it up with hot water and bleach!

the litter locker is the best item i have purchased in a long time. it took me a few minutes to figure out how to put it together but the instructions were easy to read. i use crystal litter and it works great. it may make a diffrence with the type litter you use. i think you would get more use of the bags with the crystals since it dries out the poop. i have no more odor, which is why i purchased the locker, just scoop the litter, pop it in the top and twist the handles and its gone! so far the bags have lasted over a month without refilling, its a lot better way of handeling used litter than bagging and tossing in garbage. i love mine!

So we are a 4 cat household and thought the litter locker would be just the thing for keeping down odors with multiple scoops per day. We used it for three days and it fell out of the round track, it leaked litter all over, and it stunk up the bathroom worse than an open litter box. Maybe this would work well for a single cat home, but for several it's not worth the investment. Plus, they're not made well. The plastic is cheap, the parts barely fit together, and nothing holds in the odor with the plastic bags. We've decided to go with a diaper genie. At least those twist off the "deposits" and keep the stench from spreading.
