Trixie stainless steel scatter shovel

Worked well but snapped after less than 4 months use!

Broke after 2 weeks of light use. Cannot understand why it was designed so poorly where the handle attaches to the scoop... maybe they used paper glue? Appalling.

Seemed great, but hand came off the scoop as it was only lightly spot welded on!

Thought it was a game changer but the connector wasn’t strong enough and the scoop broke off from the handle in the first three weeks. Got a higher quality, all in one mould, metal scoop. Will never go back to plastic.

After just 3 weeks, the shovel broke at the connection to the shaft. I'm ordering a new one, hoping it was just a one-off defect.

We bought the scoop hoping it would be especially sturdy because of the material – for particularly stubborn clumping litter residues. However, the scoop broke completely during the very first use on an ordinary little clump. The handle is attached to the scoop so poorly... The two tiny weld spots connecting the scoop and the handle are, unfortunately, more of a really bad joke than a sign of stability.

I was honestly really happy to have found a shovel that seemed sturdy, and the metal makes it super easy to clean. No digging in like with the plastic shovels. Unfortunately, it only lasted two weeks. The joint between the handle and the shovel is just welded with a small plate, which bends easily and eventually just broke off. So the shovel and €9 went straight in the bin, because there’s no way to fix it. Definitely never again.

The handle came off the shovel after two weeks.

The third scoop broke apart at the welds on the second day. Unfortunately, I have no way to drill holes in the scoop, otherwise I would have riveted it and it would have been great – then it would be a fantastic scoop. As it is, though, it's just overpriced rubbish from Trixie.

The welding at the top of the shovel is poorly done; it broke after just a few times of using it.

Unfortunately, the spatula is very large, it doesn't fit in any holder and it came with lots of rust marks.

It's way too sharp around the edges and scrapes the inside of the toilet, but it doesn't scrape well because it gets stuck at the bottom. It's also way too big, which makes it hard to empty a toilet that has a lid.

The first spatula lasted over a year – the next ones only a few weeks – not worth buying.
