Petmate Scooper Management Included Premium Reviews Summary

Usability

Pros:

• "It’s nice to have and really easy to use."
• "So easy to clean up doopy in a dirt with small rocks yard."
• "Great tool for that unpleasant job, we have two dogs and often have two extra ones for a few days so the doggie area of our yard gets a lot of stuff, minimum bending over, which is great for my back 😊 and not touching with my hand."
• "Nobody likes to scoop poop! But this thing makes it tolerable, easy, and quick."
• "This combo is awesome for cleaning the backyard up from your pets deposits."
• "The disposable bags keep the rotating bucket clean and it is easy to pull up and tie without soiling the fingers."
• "This allows me pick up dog feces without getting my hands dirty."

Cons:

• "I don't suspect this to last very long because it is so flimsy where your hand goes."
• "If you have large dogs I recommend that you don't get this. It goes together easy enough but if your dogs take large 'dumps' it will come apart."
• "Worked great for a few months, but the plastic 'teeth' on the rake snap easily."
• "The waste bin that turns over when you're trying to dump it in the garbage can."
• "This is easy to use but the bags that came with it wasn't as easy to put on as it sounded like it would be especially for someone that have issues with their hands."
• "The rake part is flimsy plastic."
• "You need two hands to empty most of the time and the bucket is not very big, but it does the job well."

Design and Build Quality

Pros:

• "The straight plastic rake part holds the gravel along with the poop."
• "Nothing to rust on these so they’re fine to leave outside - which is crucial for a poop scoop."
• "The rake is all plastic but seems to be holding up nicely."
• "The poles are long enough and it hasn't broken on me yet!"
• "The larger metal rake is far easier to use."
• "Plastic grocery bags work great!"
• "The plastic is thick and durable."

Cons:

• "I returned this product as it was small and flimsy."
• "Not metal, photos don’t do the teeth gap justice…The poop falls through the gap."
• "The compartment is so very small.. if you need to pick up more than one pile.. don't buy this one."
• "The “picker” is a bit flimsy too… cheap plastic- but it gets the job done."
• "Don’t buy this, it’s cheap plastic with two major flaws."
• "If its slightly soft and/or mushy, the space between the teeth of the grabber will allow the poop to fall through."
• "The scoop allowed for small pieces to fall through."

Convenience

Pros:

• "Love this because you just put a bag on it and get to scooping poo. No bending down."
• "No more having to bend and pick up with your hands."
• "We have two dogs and a relatively small backyard. This pooper scooper rake and swivel bin makes cleaning up their messes so easy it’s almost fun."
• "This scooper is perfect for cleaning up my small dogs poop."
• "I liked it so much I've bought this twice."
• "We have had the metal pooper scoopers for many years. Decided to give this one a try and I absolutely love it."
• "I have an 80 pound puppy and this thing is a must, I use plastic grocery bags, they fit perfect."

Cons:

• "The swivel head makes it difficult to dump and let’s face it, nobody wants to use their hands to dump the dog poop or change the bag."
• "The poles are very short and my husband of 6’3” has a hard time using it without having to stoop over."
• "The plastic bin isn't quite big enough for large dog piles."
• "The rake doesn’t work. It just gets squished all in the rake and makes a mess."
• "The size was perfect for about a week's worth of poo in a single collection/bag."
• "The assembly was easy, however it is made of flimsy plastic."
• "If you have a two large breed dog it’s too small."
