5.0 out of 5 stars
A great solution for the flimsy Littermaid receptacles,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: PERMA-lid & BAG-it Combo Waste Receptacle Replacement System for Littermaid Litter Box (Misc.)
The best part about this BAG-It kit is the little ring thing that fits inside the receptacle. It's pictured in black here, although mine is a clear plexi-glass type material. I don't know if you can see in the photo, but it's flat and maybe half an inch wide and sits in the little indentation in the top of receptacles. You just take it out, put a plastic bag through the middle and up over the ring and set it into the top of the plastic receptacle. I use old plastic grocery bags and they work fine. When the bag is full, just lift the bag and ring out, toss the bag and put in a new one. You never have to replace those flimsy receptacles again!
The cover thing replaces the flimsy plastic receptacle covers. I put mine under the lid because it looks better that way. The two little white plastic covers, cover the holes so it's one solid piece on the lid. I've been using this for about a week and it works great. Finally a way around replacing the costly receptacles that will pay for itself in about a month. And it's a good way to recycle plastic grocery bags. Two thumbs up for this handy solution.

Much better than the replacable containers,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: PERMA-lid & BAG-it Combo Waste Receptacle Replacement System for Littermaid Litter Box (Misc.)
This product works quite well to solve two major problems with the Littermaid system.
First, the replaceable containers are extremely expensive. Depending on your cat's "production," you'll use enough of them to cost a dollar or two a week. The Bag-It system uses cheap (or even free) plastic bags, so it only costs pennies per week, at the most. Second, the replaceable container system doesn't hold in odors particularly well. The PERMA-Lid is considerably heavier than the flimsy replaceable lids, so when the flap over the container swings down, the lid presses much more firmly onto the bin. There are, however, some difficulties. How serious these are depends on your individual tolerance for them, I guess. First, there are no plastic bags made specifically for this system. That means that whatever bags you use are likely to be somewhere in between too big and too small; there is no just right. Plastic grocery store bags work pretty well, but I found that the smallest size Glad kitchen bag-- or, better yet, the generic equivalent-- works better, mostly because the grocery store bags often have little holes or tears in them. No matter what bag you use, though, you'll have to bunch up the excess plastic when you put it into the plastic frame and insert the assembly into the container. And that plastic-bag-plus-frame assembly doesn't fit as well into the container as one might wish. About half of the time, I get get some litter or doo-doo spill-out when I change the bag. However, even with the minor annoyances I've mentioned, I think this system is FAR superior to the replaceable containers. It's cheaper, and it contains odors better. I'm happy I bought it, and I'd do so again.

Half and half.,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: PERMA-lid & BAG-it Combo Waste Receptacle Replacement System for Littermaid Litter Box (Misc.)
The PERMA-lid is actually quite useful. I did notice that reusing receptacle lids doesn't work for long, as the lids don't fully close after several uses, and the smell is then free to waft around the house. The PERMA lid doesn't bend or break, so the smell is contained.
The BAG-it is pretty useless, however. It consists of a little lip of plastic which sits inside a litter receptacle to hold the bag in place. The problem is that the lip of plastic prevents smaller clumps from falling all the way to the bottom of the container. When the lid drops down, the clumps are smushed between the lip and the lid. This sometimes prevented the lid from closing (leading to smell) and made cleanup DISGUSTING, as there was no way to remove the bag without grabbing cat poop. I found that a much better solution is just to line a regular litter receptacle with a bag, and fold the ends of the bag over the side (same as a garbage can).
