Stainless steel litter pans & picking them up to pour used litter out for deep cleaning.

B/C it is really nice sunny day here, I wanted to wash and then air & sun out the litter boxes.
The plastic litter pan has a better lip to grab and lift that pan to pour out used litter.

The stainless steel one has a shallow lip that was hard to grab to lift to pour our the used litter. I would up using my dishwashing gloves to lift the pan .

Live and learn. Pan washes out beautifully.

1. I think they are worth it though

They don't retain odors and I just feel like they clean better. They are heavier though.

2. 100% agree with you and I will replace the current plastic pan next month

3. The stainless steel are the best cat boxes, I've ever used

They do clean up well, and the kitties can't scratch them up like they do the plastic ones. The ones I have each have a snap

on collar that makes 3 sides of the box/pan a foot high and minimize litter being thrown out and onto the floor. My cats are

large and the other boxes I had were too small. They are worth the extra cost
