PooPail

I don't even want to leave a 1 star but a will because the idea is pretty good. It's super cheap built though, sure not worth the money I paid for it. the handle is so cheap and fragile that when you start loading poop and roll it on the wheels the weight in the pail falls over and the handle just twists. Also, the part of the pail where you scoop the poop in tapers and sometimes the poop roles out, so you got to almost sling shot the poop in the pail. it would be a serious great product if it was built more sturdy. We don't even use it! What a waste of money!

I backed this project on kickstarter over two years ago. I honestly gave up on it, and I know the owner went through many problems with COVID. It finally arrived Jan 2023. I am very pleased with the design and ease of use. I have two large dogs and the weather on the east coat of Canada is very rainy. So there are some days that I cannot pick up after my dogs because my back yard turns into a very shallow pond. I have the medium height one. It saves my back from having to bend over, and I’ll admit I am not getting any younger. The scoop is perfect hwighr for me (5’5”) to sweep/fling poop right into the pail. The only way I think the design could be improved is by offering a metal scoop option for customers that live in areas where winter freeze happens. I don’t want to break the plastic but I did not trust it was strong enough to pry frozen poop that had previously been rained on from the ground. Otherwise, I am so glad this finally arrived and it made my clean up job today after 3 straight days of rain, followed by an overnight freeze, much easier.

Great capacity, good rake scooper, terrible bag attachment. Because the holes for the bag attachment are not supple rubber but rather just cut outs, it hurts like hell to put your fingers in there and then try to get them out. Useless. We have resorted to using tape and we go through about a bag a day because we have a litter of puppies. the bags get very dirty very quickly so changing the bags has to be done with gloves on, and the gloves stick to the tape. Turns into a huge ordeal. Could stand to be more stable - because of the handle and how tall the pail is, the high center of gravity causes it to tip over during bag changes and even just standing up if it is not at least half full. Love that it's made in the USA, love that it holds so much poop, love the rake and how easy it is to scoop the poop. But really missed the mark on bag attachment - could have been 5 stars if not for that.
