Booda Cleanstep Cat Litter Box

We have a Winner!

I've just bought 2 of these litter boxes after being at my wits end with one of my cats weeing over the edge of his old litter box or not using it at all! And... Oh my! Am I pleased. He loves it. Being a Bengal I was worried when I ordered it, it wouldn't be big enough. Nope! He has plenty of room to move and dig around. it's also a big plus that it can fit into the corner of your room without looking ugly and quite easily mistaken for a cat den rather than shouting out cat litter box!

Best all round box

This is the best hooded box I have had for many years.The litter stays in the box....except for the odd grain or two....the hood is just lifted off to clean and empty and leaks around the side are minimum and very rare.I have had one of these for longer than any other and I will definitely buy again.

Don't buy, worst ever

The box is ugly, but would have been ok for reduced litter spreading.. Didn't reduce by much, and cleaning it out of the 'ladder' part is very tricky. The top is a pain to clip on (you have to run your hand all around; as it's so huge you either have to bend over to do that or if you are doing it crouched down on your knees - bend right over, smelling the aromas). Also, it's rounded and most scoops have a flat edge - if your cat has weed or pooed close to edge - you can't scrape/scoop properly

Cut down litter tracking

This litter box really does help with the litter tracking problem we were having. The cats took to it immediately and it also reduced the smells. We still get some litter outside the box, but it is way down on the previous covered litter box. My cats hated the ones with flaps so this seemed like a good compromise. The downsides are that it's bigger than the old one, but I have found a space for it in the corner of the bathroom. It's also harder to clean because of it's shape.

Excellent with minor drawbacks

It's brilliant for tracking. The only issues are that cats often wee in the gaps so makes it tricky to clean, and odour control isn't the best.

Maine Coon Kitten catches more litter on its fur

Bought this and the tray that sits outside for our 3 month old MC kitten to grow into based on reviews here because he was using an open tray and making a mess by digging litter and tracking it everywhere on his paws. Using this box has made it worse, the litter gets into his tail and paws and is now tracking further and more of it! If we are doing something wrong let us know please! else I want to ask for a full refund.

Good item

This is a good idea to keep litter and smells contained to a degree, but if your cat is quote big they might not like it. My cats are quite big and they weren't sure at first, but after a while they used it. I have a few different boxes so they have a choice and they do seem to prefer the one without a cover. It is a very large box so also be sure you have the room.

Large and Private

I have now purchased 3 of these litter boxes and have always been pleased with their appearance though you will need a larger space to house them. I find they are quite easy to clean and practical to use though I do purchase the giant pan liners for the base tray. I am pleased to see that the new version of this Booda has a new filter at the top which cannot fall down which was the only weakness I felt in the original design.

Noida Cleanstep Cat Litter Box

Terrible.....the worst litter box you can buy, it's not very big inside, the lid doesn't clip to the base. Expensive product which is a complete waste of money

Cant fault it!

Cat loves her privacy, took a while to walk up the steps, but now she loves it, looks fun in the hOuse, quite big, but very discreet. No smells, no litter trail, Puuuuuuurfect 10/10 highly recommend

Brilliant!

The best 40 quid I ever spent ! Stops cat litter from getting tracked across my hall way all I get is a few odd bits now ,looks super cool too ! It's very large great if you have the room .

Does the job

Good for large cats. More attractive than tray. Needs a cover over the filter to stop cat pulling it out. The lid does not fasten to the base so you can not carry the whole unit by the handle. Does reduce litter tracking. Not worth the money really.

Even good for large cats

I wanted a covered litter box, but had tried one before and my large Maine Coon, Jasmine had trouble fitting in it. I thought I'd try the Booda as it looked a bit larger than the standard covered litter tray, and the steps leading up to it would give Jasmine some extra wiggle room to get comfortable. Jasmine and I both love the Booda. She has no problem gettin in or out of it. It's all private and is a very attractive design. I would highly recommend the Booda for all cat owners, even those of us with extra large cats.

Love this...

We wanted an enclosed litter tray as we had a very visible space where we needed to have one, so this is brilliant. People don't actually know what it is which is great. My three longhairs took to it after a few days of suspicion, but will now happily use it when they are in. Occasionally we have litter come down the stairs, but I just sweep it up. Find it odd people say their cats pee down the stairs, ours still recognise it as a litter tray to climb in to, just one with a roof. We're considering replacing our other tray with one of these too.

perfect!

I purchased this litter tray out of sheer desperation, my rescue ragdoll had a nasty habit of half walking into the litter tray and stopping, and the result was pee and poop outside the box! This has completely stopped his behavior even if she was to pee on the steps it wouldn't get as far as the mat by the door as it would collect at the bottom! All 3 cats love it so much they have virtually stopped using the other trays, so much so I'm thinking of removing he other trays. It's pretty big but I can cope with that. If you have a cat who pee's up the side walls like I do, you just gotta wipe the rim of the bottom and top when you scoop and thats it, no biggy!

Looks good but not fit for purpose

This was a very expensive mistake. As another reviewer found, the urine runs down the steps and through the seams. Save you money.

Filter problems otherwise my cat likes it.

I agree with the previous reviews as I too am having problems with filter which keeps opening and is now stuck together with cello-tape.That being said my cat now prefers this litter tray to her other one and I do think there is less litter tracking. Shame there seems to be a design flaw.

Very disappointed

I purchased this and it lasted 4 days before the lid under the handle collapsed taking the filter with it. My less then 3 kilo kitten jumped on the lid. Now I am left with a hole in the lid that is dangerous so it's had to go. It looks great and no litter tracking but has a big design drawback. Shame on first impressions it looked good.

Very Disappointed

After looking for a new litter box for my three cats I decided to buy this one after reading the excellent reviews. I am very disappointed, this box is flimsy, the liners don't fit properly, the filter holder keeps popping open and the litter gathers in the ridge alongside the steps and still treads out onto the floor. I would certainly not recommend this box.

It's ok(ish)

This litter box arrived today and I couldn't wait to put it together for my very fussy girls. I was surprised by the size for starters, it's a big litter box that doesn't fit well into any space within my home - a good sized town house which already has 3 other litter boxes, one of which is the omega roll and clean which is also very big. Once I'd spent a while moving furniture around to fit it in somewhere I was faced with the filter & compartment dilemma, I'm blaming it on a log day at work but I just couldn't figure out how it fitted into the box, the instructions were worse than useless as the printer had misprinted it and some text was missing. I eventually figured it out once I realised the 2 parts don't fit together but both onto the lid of the box it's self. Then came the one free litter liner, I honestly don't think it was made for this box, it hair doesn't fit so I've had to settle for some of the litter compartment uncovered and half of the stairs blocked by stray liner. I have a feeling the liner isn't one supplied by the manufacturer but I always like litter boxes so will have to make-do. Perhaps if the clip was still supplied, it would have been better. Clean step - not really, I use worlds best cat litter and there is already quite a bit on the carpet after an evenings use. What with the box being so big I can't take up more room with a tracking mat and as I have a toddler I try to avoid using them, they seem to be a magnet to her and she drags them around the house. The smell isn't really concealed either, perhaps because it's open rather than sealed with a plastic flap like standard hooded boxes. My cats do seem to like it though, choosing this over the others we have scattered about the house. So all in all, it's ok. Sadly not as good as I was expecting.
