PKBD XL Stainless Steel Cat Litter Tray: Large, Fully Enclosed 3-in-1 Litter Box
Product description
What it is and what it solves
The PKBD XL is a large, stainless steel cat litter tray designed to be fully enclosed, semi-enclosed, or open. This 3-in-1 flexibility lets you choose the setup that suits your cat’s needs and your home, from privacy and odour control to easier introduction for kittens or sensitive pets.
What makes it stand out
On the page, the tray measures 583737 cm with a deep 13 cm litter cavity, providing ample space for cats to move, turn and dig. The sturdy stainless steel construction is resistant to scratches and stains and is said to resist odour absorption, helping maintain a fresher interior. A smooth flip lid aids cleaning, and a litter catcher helps minimise mess on the floor.
Practical use and maintenance
The design includes a removable enclosure and a leak-proof configuration with high 37 cm sides to reduce urine leakage. Cleaning can be done by flipping the lid, scooping out clumps with the included metal scoop, and wiping down the interior after use. Anti-slip stickers help keep the tray stable while a cat digs. It’s also designed to be washable, which supports regular hygiene.
Limitations and considerations
On the face of it, metal trays can get heavier than plastic equivalents, so consider storage and manoeuvrability for single-handed handling. While the three configurations offer flexibility, some cats may take time to adjust to a new litter setup, especially if they’re used to a fully open or a different enclosure.
Who it’s for
This tray is suited to households with multiple cats or larger cats, thanks to its extra-large space and robust build. It’s particularly practical for homes seeking odour control and easier maintenance without frequent litter tracking, thanks to the integrated catcher and coating properties of stainless steel.
When it makes sense to buy
If you value a durable, washable, multi-configuration litter solution that can adapt to different stages of a cat’s life (from kittens to adult multi-cat households), this model could be a sensible fit. It may appeal if you prioritise easy cleaning, odour management, and a long-lasting material over the lowest upfront price.
What to check before buying
- Confirm preferred configuration (open, semi-open, or enclosed) and how often you expect to switch between them.
- Consider your cat’s size and habits, a 58 cm long tray provides substantial room but will require adequate space in your room.
- Ensure you’re comfortable with stainless steel as the main material and the associated weight and cleaning routine.
Practical comparison and next-best options
Compared with standard plastic litter boxes, this model leans toward durability and odour control through material choice and enclosure options. If you prioritise a lighter, ultra-cheap solution or a model with varied anti-microbial coatings, there are other options, however, the PKBD XL aims to balance space, longevity and ease of maintenance in a single package.
FAQ
- Is the tray easy to disassemble for cleaning? Yes, it can be disassembled for cleaning and reassembled into the chosen configuration.
- Does it include accessories? Yes, it comes with an XL mat, a metal scoop, and a filter pedal.
- Is it leak-proof? The design claims a leak-proof, high-sided interior with an overlapping enclosure to help contain urine.
Is it worth it?
Worth considering if you need a durable, large-capacity litter solution that adapts to different needs and prioritises hygiene and odour control. If you’re after a lightweight or budget option, this model may not be the best fit.
