I've tried pretty much all the diaper-pail style litter disposal units out there. This is the best one, by a lot. The concept of the twisting bag to reduce odor is amazing, and the great mechanism really made the first odor free litter disposal system. The scoop is a great, it has a soft grip handle and sits perfectly in the side bin of the pail. I got my mom a Multi Kitty Twist'r and I am a bit jealous, it looks very cute with the cat ears and paws and I like that her pail has a foot pedal, whereas mine twists by hand. Anyway, get yourself a Litter twist’r and try it.
