Duranimals Durascoop Mini Steel Cat Litter Scoop (colors vary)

Ok, so who loves a scooper? I do. I have tried dozens of scoopers over the years and read great reviews of this one. I am so glad I listened to the fabulous folks who leave reviews on Amazon. Every few years or so I try a new scooper in hopes of finding one that is easier to use. My search is officially over. I love the Duranimals Durascoop Cat Litter Scoop.This is a metal scooper with some sort of coating over it. I didn't get a choice of color, but I didn't care. (They sent me a pale green one).I use this with scoopable cat litter. Because it is made of metal it stays strong enough to get the wet clumps that are at the bottom of the pan. It is small enough that I don't have to twist my wrist grabbing up half the litter in one scoop. (I'd say the scooper part is roughly the size of my palm.) And the coating prevents it from rusting. Not sure what the coating is, but it is some sort of baked on ceramic or something. It reminds me of pastel cookware.To sum up....this is a great scooper that stays strong, doesn't bend, is small enough to be able to twist around in the litter box, and is coated to prevent the litter from sticking and the scooper from rusting. I bought two of them and am thinking about getting a backup because I found the only scooper I will ever want to use. I am completely satisfied.I ordered this via Prime and it arrived in two days packaged well. Can't ask for more.

Great item. I have multiple large cats who like to dig down and pee directly on the litter box surface, creating sticky messes that need to be scraped up. This makes the job super easy. It's also easy to lift heavy wet clumps or large amounts of waste without worrying about it breaking. Overall, it makes cleaning the box faster and easier. Easy to clean and sanitize as well.This is a full sized litter scoop - not sure why it's called 'mini'.Update 1: I have now had this about three years. Zero signs of wear. Continues to be one of those everyday essentials you don't know how you lived without.Update 2: I bought this in 2016, it is now 2023 and I still have the same scoop. The original, 2016 scoop is in excellent condition and I have since bought several more so I can have one near each box. These scoops have performed well with a variety of litter types. A metal scoop makes litter cleaning so much easier - it doesn't bend, flex, or crack with heavy loads and makes it easy to scrape stuff off the bottom. I have had multiple different pet sitters comment on how nice it was to use. Metal is also easy to clean and even sterilize if needed. I will never go back to plastic scoops.

These scoops are great - but are probably best suited for the gravel and clay-based cat litters. I would imagine that the "fluffier" types of litter such as "World's best" and the ones made of recycled newspapers, saw-dust, etc. might not fall through the scoop's slots that easily.These scoops are a good size - but not as large as the ones needed for the above mentioned litters. Best of all though, they are made of metal - good in general and especially when you have to dislodge clumped litter from the bottom or sides of the cat-box.These scoops have a smooth, tough, colorful coating on the metal - maybe powder-coating or epoxy?. I have one that is a few years old and it has never rusted or peeled.For some reason, these scoops are not easy to find in stores - even on Amazon I really had to "dig".

Who would have thought a litter scoop could make a person giddy? If you have cats, this is truly a must have. The unsavory task of litter box cleaning is done quicker, and with less frustration, with this scoop. And in this house, that mean's it also get's done more often, which is really win-win for everyone.Have been using it for over a month now, and there is no reason why this scoop wouldn't last a lifetime. No flicking litter when you hit a stuck on clump. No bending. The sides of the scoop keep things in the scoop, so you are only sifting the same chunk once, not 3 times b/c it slid off the side. Sifts out the "little" chunks (though the type of litter you use may work differently, we just have basic scoopable clay based litter). It is very comfortable to use. Don't really understand why they call it a "mini" as it is bigger than the flat metal scoop we used previously, though apparently it is smaller than Durascoop's other model. Great for our three cat household of senior "kidney problem" cats. Now we just need to get one for every box, 'cause all of the other scoops we have are inferior in every way.

I bought my 2nd Durascoop to go with my 2nd litter box in the house. It is small enough to fit in the nooks and corners of the litter box, but large enough that you don't feel like you're scooping with a teaspoon. I recommend the gapping for clumping litter, but not for pine (as the clean pellets will not fall through the spaces). These are very durable, and the fine scoop tip works very well, allowing you to pick up the entire waste, even if it is clumped and stuck to the bottom on the litter pan. With that in mind, please remember that this is a metal product, and although it is covered with enamel, the enamel DOES come off eventually with frequent use, contact with urine pH, and frequent bleaching to sanitize it. Additionally, contingent on the shape of your litter box, and especially if you scoop with a heavy hand, you may scratch the inside of the litter box (what travesty!!!). However, because it is NOT plastic, it is not as inviting to bacteria and microbes. The colors were shipped at random from whichever seller i bought these from (i have yellow, lavender) so just check on that if you want it to match your pet's decor. I recommend this product for it's durability, sizing, and fair pricing.

Jeder der Katzen hat sollte diese schaufel haben. man bekommt alles raus selbst wenn was am Boden fest klebt, man brauch keine angst haben das die schaufel kaputt geht.Ich kann diese schaufel für die Katzentoilette nur weiter empfehlen

This product has changed my life! Well, Ok, that's an exaggeration. It's only a litter scoop. But it's hard to get across how much better it is than previous ones I've used. I've struggled for years with plastic scoops. Often the holes aren't big enough for the unsoiled litter to fall through. But even when they are the right size and shape, plastic scoops are just not up to the job of scraping dried-on clumps from the bottom and side of the litter tray. Not this scoop! It's tough and does the job I need it too. Because it's stronger, it makes the job easier.This thing is the business. I genuinely wish I'd had it years ago. It took a while to come - I'm in the UK and it came from the US. But well within the promised estimate, and it was worth waiting for.

Finally a scoop that doesn't bend under the pressure. It's (almost) a pleasure to clean the kitty liter box. I have two cats so its nice to do this job quickly as well. I do wish that it was bigger though doesn't hold a lot.

I was sick of buying cheap plastic litter scoops that broke every other month and ending up in the garbage. So I invested in a metal scoop and it was worth every penny! It is so sturdy, will scoop up even the toughest litter clumps. Super happy with this purchase :)

Great Scoop - sturdy design and certainly worth the money.Not really much ells to say other than that it 'Does exactly what it says on the Tin'.
