The litter pan works by replacing the sifting screen in the empty pan, move the litter from the full to the empty pan, re-stack, and you're finished.

This litter pan comes with one hood, one sifting pan and two bottom pans. There are 2 underneath bins below the sifter. You lift the sifter and the litter runs into the top bin. You unstack the bins, dump the sifter then place the sifter into the 2nd bin. Then pour the clean litter on top and place that bin under.
How small are the holes? The one I have lets too many small pieces go through.

The sifter holes for all Van Ness sifting cat pans including the Giant are approximately 9/16 of an inch by 3/16 of an inch.
Does the pine pellets fall through the holes of this sifter?

Pine pellets may not work due to the size of the holes in the sifter. Van Ness recommends clumping cat litter for all of their cat pans.

Not as expected
It's a great concept but needs work. The strainer is a nice idea but, our cats pee in the back corner and it is hard to loosen the litter. It makes it messy, and you can't get rid of it. I tried both the non-clump and the clump. I did not see a difference. I think part of it is the way the back corners are shaped. Refine it and it would be a great solution.

Van Ness Cat Box
I do not recommend this one. The cheaper version without shifting is much better. Can't lift the shifter & the door broke within one week of the model. The cheaper version is still in tack. Wish I would have bought 2 of them. Bought 2 of the shifting & after the first one broke the other one is still in the box. Waste of money. Won't every get used. Buy the cheaper model easier to clean & the door doesn't break off.

NOT impressed
Light weight plastic and not very sturdy. Holes in sifter are too big. It catches the poo but the urine clumps and sticks inside the holes. You end up scooping the litter. Then you have to wash the strainer. Swinging door came off during first exit by cat. Quality is not good. You get what you pay for. I'll end up trashing this. You end up spending more time with clean up. Scooping is faster.

Holes are too big for Pine Litter
It's the largest sifting litter box with a lid that I could find which is the only reason I keep using it. I use Feline Pine Pellets and a lot of the whole, clean pellets go through the sifter when sifting. I also had one of the sides crack due to the weight of the litter.

Owner of 3 cats
I wasn't super impressed with this litter box. I bought 2 thinking it would make clean up easier and I also needed litter boxes with lids. 1st time I tried the clean up it wasn't to bad but one of the corners on a blue container cracked picking it up to transfer the litter. I just ended up taking the shifter part of the litter boxes out and not using it bc the wet litter would stick in between the holes. It was a good price for a lidded litter box but other than that I'm not impressed.

Box is huge but!!!
This is a nice size box. I thought it would be nice to just go box to box but you need to put in a lot of litter for it to work really great. I just ended up removing the shifting pan and just use it as a regular box. I have problems lifting heavy things so using a whole bag of litter doesn't help. Otherwise it's nice and big and my guy loves that.

Nice but Heavy to sift
I bought two of these to try out with pine pellets, as I am determined to get rid of the clay based litters that end up tracked all over my house. Disclaimer, this sifting box system is made for clumping clay based litter, but after reading some reviews that used pine pellets, I was hopeful. This is a nice, roomy box with a large opening to accommodate my big, clutzy male cat. I took the doors off because they just looked like they'd interfere with entry/exit and my girls wouldn't use it with the door flap. They were super easy to remove and I just put them aside. I started with the Tidy Cat Lightweight regular clumping litter I've been using, and added a layer of pine pellets to the bottom with a handful on the top. The next day I went to clean it. I scooped out the poop that was on top, then went to lift the sifter box. Next to nothing fell out. Pine pellets fell out, along with about a cup of regular litter, so those of you thinking of using this for pine litter, fyi, the holes are too big. Then I tried to shake the sifter box side to side and front to back and a little more came out, but not all of it, and what did come out also landed on the floor. TIP: Once you get litter in this, it's heavy. I'm a middle aged, non athletic cat mom, with lower back problems. At this point, my back is starting to complain. Realizing nothing else is going to sift out, I set the sifter box -still mostly full of litter- back into the top box, thinking I'd lift them both up to get to the bottom box. Ha! They stuck together. Now what am I supposed to do with it? I ended up setting the first sifter box on the floor so I could pry box 2 and 3 apart. For the second litter box set, I ended up asking my daughter to help me get the bottom box out so I could transfer the sifter box and litter to it. All in all, it was exhausting and messy. TIP: I highly recommend getting some puppy pads to set the sifter box on while you are fiddling with the other two boxes. Okay, I told myself, that was the first time, there's a learning curve. I'll give it a week. Unfortunately for me, it didn't get better, though the puppy pads helped. The litter was still difficult to sift out due to getting stuck in the holes, which ironically are still too big for the pine pellets, they fall through just fine! However, the sawdust (pine pellets turn to saw dust when peed on) and regular clumping litter blocks the holes so I end up using the scoop anyway, just to get the clean stuff through the holes. Then the two solid pans stick together where I have to set the sifter box on the puppy pads and at that point, why bother pulling them apart? I just empty the top solid box and set the sifter box back in it, making it a two box system. And then there's the lid. It's got 4 locks, which sounds great. Except they either a) don't snap into place, or b) snap into place so securely I almost break my fingers trying to get them unlocked. Seriously, they're difficult to both lock and unlock. Clearly other people have great experiences with this sifting box set, which is why I ordered two of them. Unfortunately for me, it's just too heavy and physically difficult to deal with multiple times a week. This is just a cautionary tale for anyone looking into a sifting litter box that has strength, back, shoulder, or other health issues. It's heavy work! I'll be donating these to my local shelter and trying a different litter system.

Meh - they work
Enclosed definitely helps with the smell. It's cheap and you get what you pay for - wish I could just purchase replacement sifting pans! Holes in sifter are too big so a lot gets through. You have to scrub the sifter pan because everything sticks. Have 2 and swinging windows came off within a week, one of the side locks broke off and the sifting pans broke, cracked, etc. all that, I still prefer them to just scooping but the overall amount of work is the same

Weak Handle
The sifting pan makes it so much easier to clean and the covered lid keeps the smell contained longer. It also keeps the litter area cleaner as my cats are no longer throwing the lifting everywhere outside. However, the handle is very weak and if you try carrying it with litter on the inside, it will break. The lid only works if it's empty. For the price it is definitely great but I would find something sturdier in the future.

Great concept, terrible product
I thought this would be a game changer, but it wasn't. The fact that urine always gets trapped in the grid lines is bad enough, but then you have to set it down somewhere just to pull apart the other bins and get litter back in. This is undoubtedly one of the worst litter boxes I've ever owned. Too many steps, too many bulky bins and it takes more time than just scooping. I do not recommend.
