As part of a complete equipment for Cat Friends, this bucket found its way to us. The scoop is with our friends now since about 6 weeks in use. According to the statement of the users, has the scoop just in very fine scatter good because it absorbs even smaller parts and this in this way may be disposed. I myself found the bucket of the stability her something too flexible. In overall view of price / performance is why I only gave it 3 stars.
