Cat Litter Tray Box, Litter Box, Plastic Cat Open Top Litter Tray with Free Scoop Kitten Detachable Rim Easy Cleaning,49 x 38 x 23cm (Grey)

When we first came across the Vivo Technologies Cat Litter Tray, we were simply looking for a straightforward, functional solution that didn’t off-gas, wouldn’t crack under pressure (literally), and most importantly, wouldn’t stink up our already well-insulated home. After many underwhelming purchases in the past, where plastic trays reeked of chemical odour straight out of the box or warped under minimal cleaning, this model was a pleasant surprise—and I don’t say that lightly.Right out of the packaging, the first thing I noticed was what I didn’t notice: the absence of any plastic smell. So many litter trays, even from big-name brands, have that unmistakable off-gassing stench that clings to your space and makes you question your life choices. But this one? Nothing. It smelled like, well, nothing. That alone makes it worth considering for anyone sensitive to scents or living in a smaller space where odours are more noticeable.The material used here is a BPA-free, non-toxic, food-grade plastic. And I believe them. Not only does it feel solid in hand, but you can tell it's not just cheap brittle plastic. There's a slight flex to it without being weak, and the texture is smooth without being slippery. Cats are notoriously picky creatures, and our rescue cat (who has previously refused to use litter trays that felt "off") took to this one immediately without hesitation. That’s a sign in itself.One thing I loved about the design is the removable high rim. For those unfamiliar, the rim is there to catch stray litter that would otherwise be flung across the floor like confetti at a festival. My cat likes to dig like she’s halfway to Australia, and this rim actually holds up. It’s detachable too, which means it can be easily unclipped for thorough cleaning or left off entirely if your cat prefers a lower profile. We tried both setups and eventually settled with the rim on. It's practical, it helps, and it doesn't pop off when bumped like other models we've tried.The included scoop is surprisingly decent. I’ve bought entire separate scoops before that were worse quality. This one has a solid feel, cleans easily, and hooks neatly onto the tray when not in use—simple, thoughtful design. I’ll take that over gimmicky features any day.Let’s talk dimensions. At 49 x 38 x 23cm, it’s big enough for most medium to large cats without being an eyesore in your home. It’s also incredibly easy to clean. No awkward angles, no corners that trap waste, no textured surfaces that hold on to smells. A quick rinse and swipe with a pet-safe cleaner and it’s spotless. If you want to go the extra mile, you can use tray liners—though honestly, we’ve found it unnecessary. The plastic is that smooth.Now, let’s talk longevity. We’ve had this tray for over six months now, and it looks exactly as it did on day one. There’s no discolouration. No micro-cracks from scooping. No weird warp spots from hot water. It’s still structurally sound. That’s more than I can say for the previous tray we bought from a local shop that cost more and fell apart after a few weeks of use.If you’re someone who uses natural or clumping clay litter, this tray holds up. We use tofu-based litter (another odourless choice), and there’s no reaction, no staining, no smell leakage. This tray seems to play well with everything. A friend uses crystal litter with the same tray and reports similar results. The high sides do an admirable job of keeping litter where it should be.Another big plus: the base is solid and flat. You’d be surprised how many trays come with odd ridges underneath that cause tipping or sliding. This one stays put. We’ve even used it on a slightly uneven floor, and it doesn't wobble. If you have multiple cats, the tray’s price makes it feasible to buy more than one and still save compared to higher-priced alternatives that offer the same functionality.The tray is also dishwasher safe if you’re one of those ultra-hygienic types. We haven’t had to go that far yet, but it’s nice to know you could. And because it's lightweight at just under 1kg, even our eldest family member has no trouble picking it up to take outside or rinse off in the bath.Let’s not overlook aesthetics. The grey colour is subtle, stylish even, and doesn’t scream "cat toilet" the way some bright pink or neon blue trays do. It blends in, especially if your home leans towards neutral tones.So where’s the catch? Honestly, I’m struggling to find one. If I’m being fussy, the rim clips could be a tad tighter, but they’ve never come off on their own. Some people might want a hooded option, but if you’re after an open tray for ease of cleaning and happier cats (some don’t like enclosed spaces), this is the one.In terms of environmental peace of mind, the BPA-free tag is important. BPA (bisphenol A) has been linked to various health concerns in both humans and animals. So choosing a tray made from BPA-free plastic means one less thing to worry about—especially when it's something your pet interacts with daily. And if you’ve got curious toddlers in the house, that non-toxic label brings added relief.This tray ticks every box: it’s budget-friendly, odourless, food-safe plastic, durable, spacious, well-designed, and easy to clean. We’ve since recommended it to neighbours and friends with cats and even one with a rabbit (who reportedly took to it immediately as a new litter corner). It works, and more than that, it works quietly. It doesn’t demand your attention. It just does its job, which is perhaps the highest praise you can give a litter tray.We’ve placed it in different locations—the utility room, the kitchen, even a sunroom—and each time it performs without issue. Unlike some trays that warp in the cold or smell weird in the heat, this one remains completely neutral.And in the endless sea of poorly made, overpriced or overly complicated litter trays, this is one of those rare finds that combines thoughtful design, quality material, and real-world performance. Whether you’re a first-time cat owner or a seasoned feline caretaker, this tray deserves a spot on your shortlist—and likely in your home.

Good litter tray for kittens, no leakage, height is also good, cleaning is easy as well, just remove the top half.

Great litter tray and handy that scoop fits on the side.Only down side is its made from very cheap thin plastic, not the best quality.Otherwise great little product.

Great little tray, shame about the cat!Does what you need it to do, it big, deep, decently built, unfortunately our cat still manages to get cat litter out of the entrance, might keep the tray and get rid of the cat?

My kitten loves it! Easy to clean, colour fits every room. Little holes helps with keeping litter inside, not on the floor.

Not the quality I expected at this price. Quite thin plastic and the dimensions are a bit misleading. They are external measurements and not internal, so was a little smaller than I expected.

Lovely little tray and my cats are happy to use it. Easy to clean and holds a god amount of litter. The plastic is quite thin and flimsy but we've had it for 6 months now and seems fine so hopefully it will last.

Large area and so far no litter out of box
