Unfortunately, too much dust.
I bought this litter based on the many positive reviews. The litter clumps very well, but unfortunately, it produces a lot of dust. I have a dust allergy and constantly have to sneeze or struggle to breathe when cleaning the toilet. Therefore, it’s absolutely not recommended for people with a dust allergy.

Dust - Allergy
I’m astonished that Cats Best Oeko Plus cat litter has been rated so highly. Unfortunately, I have to say that I wasn’t satisfied with the cat litter at all. My three Devon Rex cats developed dust allergies because of it.

Best bedding
My indoor cats love this litter. It smells really fresh, almost like being in the forest. The litter clumps really well. I'm very satisfied.

UGH...
That's complete nonsense! The bit about how it kicks up dust! Just a few centimetres at the edge -.- The litter is amazing! My boyfriend was like: "Oh no, a cat. Then the whole flat will always smell like a toilet!" NO! Not at all! Barely any smell, and the fact that poo stinks is normal. I have a covered corner litter box, and we don't notice any odour from it. PERFECT! Even now, after 1 month, I can still say that! :) And I only clean it once a day ;)

Best Litter I've found.
This stuff is great! Really good at clumping and odour control.
There is a slight issue with tracking but no more so than with any other fine-grain litter.
Would definately recommend. The fact that you can flush the clumps or compost the litter makes it so easy to dispose of.

Can't complain
I have 4 cats. Previously used bentonite litter. The litter or crumbs definitely stick to their paws, no matter the type. Especially the Maine Coon.
The smell is significantly better. The house doesn’t stink like a cat toilet. It’s lightweight, and I can burn it in the oven. Zero waste! The cats like it, and with 4 tigers, you have to vacuum daily anyway—if that’s enough...

Dust dust dust
At first, the litter was really good, but for about half a year now, it’s been getting dustier and dustier. When cleaning the toilets, you end up having full-on sneezing fits – such a shame.

I can't believe you all like it!
This litter is the worst I've ever used as it requires constant attention. I thought that I'd swap from clay clumping litter for my growing Maine Coon kittens to a wood based one, eventually moving to the big litter pellets as they get to 6-8 months old. It doesn't clump too well (bits drop off as you gently scoop up clumps) and it's so small and light it tracks all over the kitchen, I have to sweep the floor regularly. The only plus over clay is it smells nicer. I really wasn't impressed and would not buy again.

Best cat litter
Had a cat that drank a lot and, accordingly, peed a lot. Absorbs really well and is easy to remove. Therefore, very economical. For me, the best litter.

The best I've used so far
Best clumping litter I've found. Makes it easy to scoop out - and flushing down the toilet is much easier than bagging and binning. In the summer this will avoid the dustbin being a no-go area due to smell.
Can't understand the comments about clumps being too soft to take out. A standard scoop picks them up and the unused litter falls through the holes.

Very satisfied!
We were recommended this litter by a colleague at work, and I have to say, he was absolutely right. Our two indoor cats took to it straight away. Sure, they scatter a few wood crumbs outside the litter box when they leave, but that’s what cordless vacuum cleaners are for ;-) The initial filling plus one top-up lasts us about 5-6 weeks. We’re completely satisfied.

The cat now prefers the carpet.
Our cat doesn’t accept the litter at all, and her business has already ended up on the carpet and the bath mat.

Dust everywhere, dust everywhere.
We've been testing Cat's Best Öko Plus for 3 months now, and we're not entirely happy with it. Our two tomcats have taken to it very well! Other positives include its good clumping ability, the ecological aspect, and the lighter litter bag. On the downside, the fine wood dust starts spreading everywhere after about 14 days, despite using a mat in front of the litter box! Every 4 weeks, we have to completely empty, clean, and refill the box. Is that still so eco-friendly? Our little tomcat is naturally a vigorous digger, which unfortunately means he comes out of the litter box completely covered in wood dust. Sometimes I have to properly "dust him off" and clean him. On top of that, he tends to sit quite low... in 90% of cases, he's wet, and I have to step in and dry him to make sure the urine doesn't end up on the sofa, cushions, and so on.

Beach effect and odour development
Based on all the good reviews here, I decided to try this litter as well. Unfortunately, I have to say that it absolutely doesn't meet my expectations. My two cats did take to it well, but they spread the litter everywhere. It's never been this bad with any other litter. And it smells once they've used the litter box. It only smells like wood right after the initial filling. I didn't even finish the 20-litre bag and switched back to the litter I originally used. The improvement in terms of odour is significant, especially when the two are home alone during the day and the litter box can only be cleaned in the evening. One advantage I see is the weight of the bag. But that's about it. I'll save the rest of the litter for winter, when the first snow comes, to use it for gritting the pavement. At least then it won't be a complete waste.

Surprisingly good
I tried this cat litter for the first time and was pleasantly surprised by how efficient and odour-neutral it is. My cats love it, and it lasts twice as long as the expensive pellets. It's also much easier to dispose of since it only clumps what it's supposed to and not half the litter. I can wholeheartedly recommend this litter with complete confidence.

disgusting
We used the cat litter for the first time yesterday, and today it has to go. It smells absolutely awful. You really can't put up with it. I should actually return it.

Great litter, but gets dusty after weeks
My two domestic shorthairs have been using Cat's Best Öko Plus since their second month of life and have never had any issues with it.
The litter clumps nicely, making it easy to clean. For two frequently urinating cats and two litter boxes, a 40-litre bag lasts us at least two months. The best way to clean the litter box is with the CatIt litter scoop, as it allows you to sift out the clumps quickly and easily.
The litter smells neutral with a slight woody scent and absorbs odours relatively well.
The only issue is the dust development after about 4–6 weeks due to sifting. The best solution is to replace all the remaining litter with completely new litter every 6–8 weeks. This resolves the dust problem for the time being, allows you to clean the litter box thoroughly, and gives the kitties a fresh, clean box again.
Second issue: The litter naturally sticks to their paws, so you absolutely need a broom or vacuum cleaner near the litter box. So far, all litter mats have failed: while they do catch some of the litter crumbs, some still end up being carried beyond the mat onto the carpet. With a dozen trips to the litter box per day, this means cleaning is needed every 1–2 days for the humans. However, I don’t think this would be any different with other types of litter.

Excellent!!!
My very fussy kitty loves it!!! Keeps fresher for longer and easier to clean out than fullers earth litter. Unlike normal wood based litter the pieces are small like clay litter, not the usual large pellets you find with most wood based litters (which my kitty hates!!!) Also can be flushed down the loo, which is great as a live in a flat!!! :) x

Reduced smells, good value, efficient delivery
Zooplus seems to have the best price for this litter that I have seen. I was delighted at the quick delivery. I ordered late one night and it arrived two mornings later at 7.30 am!What I really like about this litter is that it has a soft texture and once you have removed the bits, the remaining litter smells perfectly fresh. It smells a bit like semolina. It is now almost three weeks in a three cat household and I have not yet emptied the basic litter, although I keep topping it up. However it does not totally cover the immediate smell, and I am still being woken in the mornings by a certain fragrance wafting through the house....I very much like the concept that it can be flushed down the toilet,or put into the garden compost recycling bin. I suggest putingt only very small quantities down the toilet at a time. One evening I thought I had flushed it (maybe I hadn't) and in the morning there was this expanded sticky looking sludge at the bottom of the pan, under the water. I panicked a bit, and it took three flushes to get rid of it. As has often been said, the litter does track.
The cats like using the litter and now rarely use the alternative litter tray which has coarse wood chip litter .

Finally found the right litter :-)
We have 8 indoor cats and have been searching for the right litter for years! Finally, we’ve found it, and I don’t want any other now—it has so many advantages:
1) Very economical
2) It smells completely neutral and neutralises cat urine and faeces
3) It’s super lightweight, even the 40-litre bag is easy for me to carry
4) The price-performance ratio is simply excellent
5) The cats like it!!!
Of course, like with all other litters, it gets carried out of the litter box on their paws. The advantage here is that you can see the crumbs—this fine stuff ends up in the house just the same, you just don’t notice it. Since we vacuum every day anyway, it’s not an issue. Plus, there are those great litter mats that significantly reduce the problem!
