Litter Genie Plus Pail (Silver) - Cat Litter Box Waste Disposal System for Odor Control, Includes 1 Square Refill Bag Review (2026)

Who the Plus size is for

The Plus pail sits between the Standard and the largest XL+ size in the Litter Genie lineup, aimed at owners who scoop daily or have more than one cat generating waste. Its roughly 7 liter capacity is built to hold about two weeks of scooped litter from a single cat before the bag needs changing, which cuts down on how often you have to deal with the actual disposal step compared to bagging waste by hand each time. Apartment dwellers who keep the litter box in a small bathroom or laundry closet benefit from having one sealed container to manage instead of a trash bag that needs frequent trips to an outdoor bin. Multi-cat households will fill the pail faster than the two-week estimate implies, so the Plus size buys more breathing room than the Standard pail without jumping all the way up to the largest XL+ model.

How the odor control works

The pail body is built with an antimicrobial treatment intended to inhibit the growth of odor-causing bacteria inside the unit itself, on top of the sealing action of the refill bags. Those refill bags use a multi-layer film designed to lock odor inside, similar in concept to the barrier bags used in human diaper disposal systems. The pail uses a manual lift-top opening, so you scoop directly into the pail through the top rather than needing to remove a lid each time, which keeps the seal intact between uses and limits how much odor escapes into the room. A scoop and a scoop holder are included, so the full waste-disposal loop, from litter box to sealed bag, stays within reach of the pail itself rather than requiring a separate scoop storage spot.

Living with it day to day

Refilling the pail involves tying off the used portion of the multi-layer bag and pulling up fresh film from the cartridge, a design shared across the Litter Genie lineup that most cat owners find quick once they have done it a couple of times. The silver finish is designed to look neater than a plain plastic bin, which matters if the pail sits in a visible bathroom rather than a closed closet or utility room. Because refill cartridges are a recurring purchase, budgeting for that ongoing cost is worth factoring in alongside the upfront price of the pail itself, since the system only works with Litter Genie's own bag cartridges rather than generic trash bags.

How it compares to other sizes

Against the Standard pail, the Plus size holds noticeably more waste before needing a bag change, which is the main reason to spend more on it if you have one cat that produces a lot of litter or more than one cat sharing a box. Compared with the XL+ pail and its jumbo refill bags, the Plus size takes up less floor space but requires more frequent bag changes for busy multi-cat homes. Reviewers and the brand's own product lineup position the Plus as the practical middle ground for most single or two-cat apartments, while the XL+ suits larger multi-cat households willing to trade some floor space for fewer bag changes.

Verdict

This pail earns a strong score for reliably doing what a litter disposal system is supposed to do: keep smell contained and cut down on how often you handle raw waste. Choose the Plus size if you have one cat that scoops a lot or two cats sharing a box and want more capacity than the Standard pail offers without going all the way to the XL+. If floor space next to your litter box is extremely tight, the Standard pail is a smaller footprint option, and if you have several cats, the XL+ with jumbo bags will mean fewer bag changes overall.
