Doesn't smell? Yeah, right!!!
The litter is admittedly easier to carry up to the 4th floor than some other types, but when it comes to odour control, it does NOT deliver what the advertising promises! So, anyone who leaves this litter in the cat toilet for even a FEW DAYS is, in my opinion, already being unhygienic simply because of the unpleasant smell. However, it clumps and absorbs very well! Unfortunately, the dust when emptying the litter is also very annoying, and you practically have to HOLD YOUR BREATH because it’s so dusty! My cats – despite having a mat in front – constantly show me how STICKY this litter is, and mind you, they’re short-haired cats! I’ll try a different litter; maybe I’ll finally find one that DOESN’T DUST AS MUCH AND ABSORBS ODOURS BETTER.

My all-time favourite!
I've been buying this litter for definitely around 6-7 years now, and I'm more than satisfied with it. I have 4 indoor cats, and my flat never smells of cats. My guests always confirm this to me. I also recommended it to my friend, who has 8 indoor cats, and she says the same as I do: "It's the best litter she's ever had." My daughter uses it too and is also very, very happy with it. And everyone else I've recommended it to so far raves about it.
It's definitely worth the money!

Great
Well, I think the litter is very good. My two cats accepted it straight away. Unfortunately, the wood smell fades very quickly. On the plus side, you don’t smell anything else, which is just as good. You can see how it breaks down in the toilet, so I assume it won’t clog the pipes. Well, unfortunately, my two cats spread the litter around the bathroom, even with a mat in place. Buuut they’ve done the same with the other two types of litter I’ve tried.
It’s very economical, which I didn’t expect at first when I saw it.
I would recommend this litter.

Super!
I’m absolutely thrilled! It smells wonderfully of wood, and my two kittens have taken to it perfectly! Even after they’ve done their business, there’s no smell in our bathroom... and that’s despite the fact that we (unfortunately!) don’t have a window!
I’ll definitely be getting the big bag!

Super!
Doesn't smell, lasts a long time! Practical, just throw it into the loo!! But unfortunately, quite a bit ends up in front of the cat litter box...

The whole flat stinks.
Overall, I am very satisfied with this litter. The clumping is excellent, and the litter is extremely economical. It doesn’t absorb the smell of urine, so you could easily clean it only every three days without any issues. With two cats, one bag lasts me two months, and if I wanted to, I could stretch it even longer. However, the litter has a strong odour of its own that spreads throughout the entire flat, and in my opinion, it’s not the pleasant wood scent as described. Additionally, it produces a lot of dust, which settles in other rooms as well—I’ve even put a fleece over the computer vent because of it. The claim that you can flush the droppings down the toilet is complete nonsense and, in my opinion, purely a marketing gimmick. This stuff turns rock-hard and will definitely clog the pipes; it doesn’t crumble like sawdust at all!!!!

Great
After a few disappointments with other litters, I decided to give this one a try based on the good reviews.
It’s significantly lighter than other litters.
Clumps well and doesn’t smell like a toilet at all!
My two Ragdolls accepted it straight away.
Since this litter is lighter, they do track more of it into the flat, but that’s not as bad as having a smelly toilet!

TOP!
I finally managed to bring myself to buy such an expensive litter, and I’m very satisfied. I filled the litter tray 5(!) weeks ago and since then have only removed faeces and clumps. The base filling smells just as little as it did in the first few days – and that’s with two cats who spend most of their time indoors. The litter is absolutely worth its price and, in the end, far cheaper than any "cheap litter"!

Class
I bought it a few years ago and decided to give it another go now, despite the price.
But since the litter was enough for two toilets, it’s not more expensive than regular products from the shops.
For me, there was no dust, no smell after using the toilet, and after a few days, the litter itself doesn’t smell either.
The clumping is perfect, nothing crumbles or sticks.
I’m sticking with it!

Actually great, but...
At first, I was absolutely thrilled, especially because it’s so lightweight and can be disposed of via the toilet. My cats didn’t seem to mind it either. But a major downside is that the litter sticks strongly to their paws (and also to shoes) and gets spread literally EVERYWHERE (crumbled into tiny bits). Unfortunately, even the toilet mat doesn’t help with this. So, with a heavy heart, I’m switching back to conventional clumping litter.

More than satisfied!
This litter is absolutely recommendable. My two little ones have been with me for almost 4 weeks now and have happily used their little loo from the very beginning. Of course, a bit sticks to their paws, but that's manageable. It doesn't smell at all, instead it has a very pleasant woody scent. A bit of dust settles at the bottom of the loo, but that's about it. Plus, it's effortlessly disposed of via the toilet, causing absolutely no issues and no blockages. If you were to dispose of the entire(!) contents via the toilet, it might be a problem – but that's what the compost bin is for!

Super
Well, my two indoor cats are thrilled.
My 14-year-old grandpa cat took to it straight away, even though he’s usually very picky.

Very satisfied
My cats and I like it. It doesn’t smell, is very lightweight, and can even be disposed of via the toilet. Honestly, it’s a really good product.
The only downside, and that’s why I’m giving it 4 stars, is that some litter does get tracked out. But I got one of those toilet mats here, which catches almost everything. :)
And I guess there’s no litter that doesn’t get tracked out at least a little.
So, definitely recommend it!

Absolutely recommendable litter
Comment on another review: Often, it's due to health issues and not the cat litter when a cat acts "fussy" in the litter box. That's why I would recommend taking the cat to the vet for a check-up and having stool and urine tests done before giving a negative review of the litter.
What I absolutely don't understand are the reviews claiming this litter smells bad. That's simply not true! On the contrary, this litter (to be clear: I'm talking about Cat's Best Öko Plus) has a pleasant wood scent, even after multiple uses. All my friends who have tried Öko Plus have stuck with it and are full of praise. Whenever we place a group order on Zooplus, I always order some for them as well. My conclusion: It works best when you don't skimp in the wrong places and mistakenly use too little litter in the box. A thick layer of Öko Plus has ultimately proven to be the most economical. This way, the litter can fully absorb all the moisture before it reaches the bottom of the litter box. It also forms nice clumps that are easy to remove, and the urine doesn't pool or create slime at the bottom. Those who complain that the litter sticks to the bottom of the box, is dusty, or smells bad have only themselves to blame.
We have as many cats as you'd typically find in an average breeder household, so we use, among other things, a high-sided mortar tub with a 10-12 cm thick layer of litter, and it ABSOLUTELY DOES NOT SMELL! This way, a 40-litre bag lasts a very, very long time, which is where the savings come in. All other, significantly more expensive litters start to stink after just one day (it's awful when you can smell it from the front door that someone has used the litter box). That never happens with Cat's Best Öko Plus! With supposedly better litters, you end up with more work and pay significantly more in the long run compared to Öko Plus.

I’ve been using this litter for 2 years now, and I’m very satisfied with it. I clean out the soiled spots daily and top up the litter as needed. I only change the entire litter in the cat toilets once a month.
I have 4 Maine Coons, and each cat has its own litter box. So far, I haven’t had any issues with matted fur.
Occasionally, some litter ends up outside the litter box, but it wasn’t any better with the previous clumping litter – a broom is the only solution for that.

Cat's Best Öko Plus Cat Litter
The best cat litter I've ever had for my two indoor cats. Better than Catsan Ultra.

Fantastic product
I bought the 40L because it was such good value. It's tricky to store such a large bag, but it's a fantastic product, so worth finding somewhere! There is no dust like with conventional litter, it clumps perfectly to remove little presents without the waste of throwing away clean litter and there is absolutely no odour. The kittens love it, it is soft and easy to scratch around - I will only ever buy this product in future.

Lisa refuses the litter.
Lisa refuses to use the litter box when I use this litter. She just scratches at it, which she normally only does when she's already been to the loo and needs to go again (scratching = please clean up), as with her, cleaning and refilling after every business is a must.

Not recommended
I bought all three Cat's Best cat litters to try them out, and I was least satisfied with this one. Firstly, it started to smell after a relatively short time, and secondly, my cats carried the fine, lightweight litter everywhere with their paws. I decided to go with Cat's Best Universal (coarser grains, binds odours for up to 2 weeks, dust-free).

Not suitable for long-haired cats
I’ve had this litter in both cat toilets for a week now and I’m not happy with it at all. It already smells, and my cats are tracking it all over the house. I’ll stick to silica litter instead.
