The Litter-Lifter Magic-Scoop Original is a plastic litter scoop with parallel, triangular tines and a shallow bowl. The maker says the tines lift only the waste without breaking clumps, while V-shaped slots in the floor trap small fragments.

Who it suits

Clumping litter users who want quick daily scooping and a scoop that scrapes clumps off the box floor. Pellet litter users should look at the brand’s separate Pellet-Scoop.

Key facts

What reviewers say

Cats.com called it the fastest sifting litter scoop it tested: it digs easily under clumps stuck to the bottom of the box, has a large surface area, and is very sturdy for a plastic scoop, though not as unbreakable as metal. Some owners dislike the flat design; the tester had no trouble keeping waste on the scoop and counted it among her favorites.

Pros and cons

  • Pro: Fastest sifting in Cats.com’s test
  • Pro: Scraping edge lifts stuck clumps
  • Pro: Light plastic
  • Con: Plastic is less durable than metal
  • Con: Some users dislike the flat design
  • Con: Not for pellet litter (separate model)

Cautions

  • Wear gloves or wash your hands after scooping; pregnant or immunocompromised people should not clean the litter box, per Cornell.
  • Rinse the scoop when you wash the box.
