Amazon Basics Refills Litter Purple Reviews Summary

Cost and Value

Pros:

• "These make cleaning the litter box so much easier & more affordable!"
• "A bulk package is a huge savings over the name brand pads, so it's definitely worth it."
• "Through Amazon I get more for the money, so will be purchasing them again."
• "These are the perfect affordable alternative! They even last longer than the brand name ones and seem to be better quality."
• "For the price, these are my top choice for cat pee pads."
• "You get more here for a much cheaper price as the basics than you do buying the name brand pee pads."
• "Much more affordable and they work just as well as the name brand."
• "I use these in my Breeze litter box. I have used these for over 2 years and do not plan on switching back to the original Breeze pads ever again."

Cons:

• "Id have to change the pad every other day to get the same performance. Not worth it."
• "I have to change them twice as often so I don't save money and have to deal with my litter box twice as often and a smelly box."
• "I don't know if I can really blame the product since it may just be that my cat is a shredder but every time he used the litter box and tried to bury his business the pad would come up and leave pieces all over in the box."
• "The price for these is GReat! They absorb the same as the Breeze pads, however, the ammonia smell can be strong when you go to change them out!"
• "The pads do fit the tray for the tidy cat breeze, but they are not nearly as absorbent. I would say I am changing the pad at least twice as quickly with these pads."
• "We have 2 cats and 2 Breeze litter systems. We replace the pads once per week and rotate the trays mid week. In doing this we haven't had any problems with leaking. I do wipe down the trays with an antibacterial wipe prior to changing the pads because some of the odor does seem to stick to the trays if I don't."
• "For the price, they work as intended. However, they are far less absorbent than the original Tidy Cats brand cat pads, so I find that I am changing them out twice as often."
• "I tried these after using the Breeze brand for over 2 years. I’m going back to the Breeze brand immediately. I could smell the urine after less than half a day when I never smell it with the Breeze brand pads."

Odor Control and Absorbency

Pros:

• "This finally solved my problem and its absorbent, and somehow, cat pee smell free! I will be purchasing these over and over again."
• "They are very absorbent and I am so glad to get them at a less expensive price."
• "I have one cat who uses the Purina tidy cat litter box with the pee pads underneath... Once I switched back to the Purina pads, it went back to no smell."
• "They hold all the urine well. I change it every week. No leaks or foul odor with it They are scented and it smells fine I have no issues, I like it."
• "These pads are super absorbent and leave no odor."
• "They are absorbent enough, I usually get 2 days out of 1 pad and I have multiple kitties. I have to change the pad a bit earlier than the TidyCat ones..so it feels more wasteful (yes I know they're cheaper, bot environmentally that sucks) they also stink of urine, unlike the Tidy Cat pads."
• "I'm glad I gave the Amazon brand a try. I honestly think they are more absorbent. I've had fewer issues removing, bagging, and discarding them. I change them each week (one cat), and there is no odor or overflow."
• "They do fit perfectly in the Breeze. The pads are not as thick as the originals and to put your nose to them, there is no scent vs the original pads. They do hold alot of liquid tho."

Cons:

• "With these pads, when both corners are done, there is a big part, maybe 40 or 50% that is unused in the diagonal middle of the pad while the corners are saturated and just stink."
• "It does not provide the odor control or absorbency that the Tidy Cats brand does. I had to change pads every 3 days due to the soaked-through mess and the urine odor was not controlled at all."
• "I bought the lemon scented version of these, the second one of my cats used the litter box it smelled so bad. I don't know why I thought using a lemon scented pee pad with cat urine would be a good idea, but it wasn't!"
• "The product did not have the lemon scent to me. I asked my mom to smell them and she said she could smell lemon faintly. However the absorbency was good for the value and I like that I get more for my money than with than with the Tidy Cats Breeze pads."
• "These do not hold alot of the urine. Kind of disappointed. I think it more cost effective to just buy the ones ment to go with the tidy cat breeze litter box."
• "These are definitely small, which I saw. I didn't realize quite how small they were. You don't know till you try. But I do have to say they hold a LOT of urine and they don't smell, which are 2 MAJOR pluses in their use."
• "They do not absorb or cover orders at all. I have 1 box and 1 cat. The actual breeze pads last 2 weeks or more these didn't even last 2 days!"
• "We really love using these in our Breeze Cat system. I honestly think they work better than the original ones, and the price is better. I use the lemon sent and its not too overwhelming. They absorb great and I will never go back to using the original pads."
