Affordability

Pros:

  • "Given that they cost about 60% of what the brand name pads cost, avoiding these is a no brainer."
  • "I love these pads. They’re SO MUCH cheaper than the Breeze brand & work exactly the same."
  • "I use these pads for the Breeze cat litter box system. I lucked up and got them for about $28/hundred, so 28 cents each."
  • "They are much more affordable than purchasing them through Pet stores."
  • "Seriously a fraction of the price and you get way more pads."
  • "Very inexpensive so that helps but I find that I have to change pads every other day."
  • "Don't waste your money on expensive Breeze pads. This 100-count is only $44.10."

Cons:

  • "I'm using almost twice as many, so not saving myself anything."
  • "Not worth it for the bulk price."
  • "They need to be changed more often than the Tidycat ones which defeats the purpose of buying them because they are cheaper."
  • "I guess I'll reluctantly go back to the breeze ones but DANG they're expensive."
  • "For every one breeze pad I'm using two to three Amazon pads so the price is the same or worse."
  • "You will easily spend more by having to change these more often."
  • "If you’re using 2-3 times as many a month, it certainly is NOT a bargain."

Odor Control

Pros:

  • "These worked very well as far as absorbency goes, they can hold a fair bit of liquid and lock it in."
  • "There is no smell and sometimes I even take the tray out and turn it around to prolong the life of the pad."
  • "While not perfect, these pads hold in the smell of cat urine well enough that I don't smell cat pee the instant I enter my house."
  • "I don't notice any odor coming from the box, so that is a plus."
  • "I didn’t think it would actually eliminate odor but it actually did help a lot."
  • "There is no strong cat odor smell when I am near the litter box and the pads do not fall apart or leak."
  • "And NO SMELL until like Day 8 or 9."

Cons:

  • "I have to replace these after just a few days because my room stank; they don't prevent the ammonia smell as well as the Breeze pads."
  • "It doesn't mask the urine smell well AT ALL!"
  • "These pads don’t last near as long and does nothing to prevent ammonia smell."
  • "They are significantly less absorbent than the brand name pads and do not trap odor nearly as well."
  • "These also do nothing at all to control urine odor, where I feel the name brand ones help a bit with this."
  • "It has zero smell absorption!! After 2-3 pees you have to change the pad because it smells awful."
  • "These sound like a great idea to save money, they do NOT trap the scent in at all."

Absorbency and Fit

Pros:

  • "They fit perfectly into the litter box tray and have great absorbency."
  • "They're as absorbent as the name brand."
  • "Perfect for the Tidy Cat Breeze Litter Box System! These pads will last you months!!!"
  • "The pads are more absorbent and a little longer and wider but still fit perfectly in the breeze litter box tray."
  • "They fit perfectly in the tray."
  • "These pads fit perfectly and absorb very well."
  • "They fit the Breeze tray pretty well."

Cons:

  • "They trap the urine, but it gets saturated quicker than the name brand pads."
  • "These pads are not absorbent enough."
  • "They are significantly less absorbent than the brand name pads and do not trap odor nearly as well."
  • "These pads are not quite as absorbent as the brand-name ones."
  • "They have very little to absorb."
  • "These pads are not absorbent at all."
  • "They do not absorb well at all and always leak."
