Price and Value

Pros:

  • "Overall great price point for the amount of pads you get."
  • "Not to mention, you get double the amount for close to the same price."
  • "For sure, the price is right."
  • "At a fraction of the cost of the name brand liners for the Tidy Cat Breeze system, these are a life-saver."
  • "For $12.99 for 20 of the Amazon brand vs. $12.99-14.99 for 12 of the name brand, I feel like the Amazon brand is the clear choice here."
  • "The value is awesome and for how many you get and the price is excellent! It pretty much comes down to less than $.50 per pad."
  • "These are as good as the other brand I was using and almost half the price."

Cons:

  • "I HATE having to pay so much more for the name brand pads, but these just don't do the job."
  • "These pads are less expensive than Tidy Cat Breeze pads but they are also less absorbent and there's no odor control."
  • "However, if I have to change out the pads 4x a week that's $11.36/month! And if I use the Breeze pads (only 1x week) that's only $10 a month."
  • "So much for saving money."
  • "These pads hold around 1/8 of the amount of liquid that the the actual Tidy Cats pads do."
  • "Very disappointed! If the price is too good to believe there usually is a reason."
  • "Unfortunately they were trash. The smell of urine was never an issue with the breeze filters but these pads I had to change daily because of the scent."

Fit and Absorbency

Pros:

  • "They fit perfectly and absorption was good."
  • "These fit just fine in the crystal littler system we have."
  • "Fit perfectly in the regular size breeze litter box."
  • "These pads work perfectly in the tray."
  • "They fit perfectly for the single cat system and I can leave them in there for up to a week with no issues with leakage or drips."
  • "These pads work perfectly in the tray. I think they are actually more absorbent than the original ones that came with the set."
  • "They are just slightly larger than the pads made for my cat box but they still fit well."

Cons:

  • "The pad absorbs very little urine and the tray will slosh around when you try to remove it to put in a new pad."
  • "These are also not as absorbent."
  • "These pads fit the breeze litter system tray fine, however they are not nearly as absorbent as the breeze pads."
  • "These are slightly thinner so use two pads to prevent overload."
  • "The unscented ones fit the tray perfectly, but simply are too thin."
  • "They are also not quite the right size for the trays, they are a bit short."
  • "Too small for large dogs though."

Odor Control

Pros:

  • "The scent helps with odor."
  • "Sprinkling cat litter odor powder on them before placing helps keep the box smelling fresh."
  • "They do a great job of absorbing the odor."
  • "They are pretty good at masking cat urine odor."
  • "We use these for the Tidy Cat Breeze liter box and they are identical to the pads sold with that brand but for a fraction of the price. The odor control is good also."
  • "They contain the smell as well as the originals until the pad is fully saturated."
  • "No urine smells after a week and amazing price for the amount."

Cons:

  • "These definitely do not block the smell like the originals."
  • "The unscented doesn’t stop or even mask the urine odor at all."
  • "I bought these because the Tidy Cat pads are pretty expensive. What I've found over the past couple of weeks is that these do nothing to hide the smell of my cat's urine."
  • "The very next day I started to smell urine. It was disgusting and just kept getting worse."
  • "These pads do not cover or eliminate the cat urine odor so the house smells bad."
  • "These Amazon brands pads do not fit the bill AT ALL. They do not capture the urine smell in any way."
  • "There is ZERO odor control- if I didn’t know any better, I’d think they added something to INCREASE the odor."

Overall Satisfaction

Pros:

  • "These are my favorite pads to order for my cat's litter box."
  • "I will definitely keep ordering these!"
  • "This brand is definitely awesome! Will be buying these from now on!! πŸ˜ŠπŸ‘πŸ»"
  • "They work just as well as the original Tidy Cat pads, and we've never had a problem with smell or absorption."
  • "I am very pleased to report that they are just as good!"
  • "I will keep buying these for sure!"
  • "Highly recommend this product."

Cons:

  • "These just did not work for us so we stocked up on the original pads when we found them."
  • "I have gone back to the Breeze product because the Amazon Basic Pads do not hold the moisture in."
  • "I don't like being punched in the face, so I will not be buying these again."
  • "I love the tidy cat breeze system due to no odor. This ruins the entire no odor concept."
  • "I won't buy them again and I'm going to ask Amazon to pay my Vet bill."
  • "I regret buying such a large quantity!"
  • "Will I buy them again, no."
