I watched this yesterday. It came just in time, because I was eyeballing those exact boxes on Amazon. I was so mortified I nearly cried. Coming home to (or even hearing) something like that happen because I wanted to save more time would have broken me. I would have never forgiven myself.
Edit: I ended up buying one that rotates sideways instead. Only reason I'm updating it is because someone in the video was like, "I believe in a cats self preservation to save them." My cat, who is afraid of heavy rain, runs to the litter box to watch, making it stop and start because she keeps poking her head in. She absolutely would have been caught. Even scaredy cats get curious.
Just gotta get a reputable brand. I recently got a Popur X5 and it's been real nice.
Yeah, that's the plan. I'm still interested in them, but God it was scary to realize I almost bought that.
They were previously removed from amazon but I guess they're back being sold by a different company... ☠️
I edited the title to reflect this.
There were only a few from no-name sellers, and I was only looking at them for price. But maybe they've been pulled with the extra attention?
