Arm & Hammer Dog Pooper Scooper Swivel Bin & Rake, Poop Scoop for Dogs, Black (2 Heavy Duty Scented Waste Bags Included)

There are some things in life that you set out to do, those life goals like get a job, be successful, have a family, etc. I think it's safe to say that nowhere near the top of that list, or middle for that matter, is "Review a pooper scooper on Amazon". Yet, here I am finding myself doing just that very thing.How did I find myself here, well for years I have done the shovel, small garden spade method. Let me tell you with two 50+ Norwegian Elkhounds they can be poop factories - but it was what I used and never thought different. Then one day, after a particularly fragrant gift from one of my four legged friends I sought out a better way because my gag reflex just could not stomach it any longer. That, and the neighbor who came to my backyard to see what small animal was dying due to all the noise.I am not ashamed to say I researched pooper scoopers. I looked at all manner of them. From the open top rake method, to those fancy claw machine contraptions. I shouldn't be surprised that there are so many pooper scooper options out there, but literally holy crap!I finally decided on this one for a couple reasons.The enclosed bin, with the bag is a great idea.Long enough where I don't have to bend over at all (32 Inches)Easy to storeUpon receiving it, I quickly put it together loaded up the first bag and embarked on my maiden voyage into the dangerous backyard. Finding the first nugget I set the bin behind it and with a quick flip deposited said nugget safely into the bin/bag. No fuss, no mess, and no sounds of killing small animals. This wasn't so bad after all. I zipped around the yard like a ninja, flipping turd after turd into the waiting bin. No longer was I trying to strategize the firmness of the deposit, or which way upwind was. I saw a landmine and tackled it with the ferocity of a jungle cat seeing it's next meal (no I didn't eat any turds, that was a metaphor).Finally, finding the bag full, did I mention 2 Elkhounds are a literal factory of fecal matter? I uncinched the bag straps, tied them together, and poof found myself with a full bag of poo but no mess and easy to dispose of. Arm & Hammer sells extra bags for this, or you can just use normal plastic shopping bags. The handles will be a little different and may cause some issues but it should work.Humor aside, this is a really nice pooper scooper. I would have liked to see the actual rake part a little more sturdy, but for the price I can't complain all that much. It does make it extremely easy to pick up the mess, and dispose of it. I just wish I would have found this option sooner. No way am I going back to the "old" way.I highly recommend this product.

No one enjoys picking up dog poop, but I think we can all agree: we love having clean yards. This contraption makes a messy and icky chore a little less icky. I save all my plastic grocery store bags and now I actually have a use for them! I love that I can hook them in, go scoop the poop, and then tie up the bag and toss it. It was easy to assemble and it’s easy to use. I’ve had other poop scoopers and this one has been the best I’ve ever bought. It’s very sturdy, the scoop is large, and again, now you’ll have use for all those grocery bags you’re hoarding (if you’re like me).

The media could not be loaded. I recently purchased the Armanhammer Dog Poop Picker Upper, and so far, I’m really impressed! The scooper and rake are made of plastic, but they feel sturdy and well-constructed. I just assembled it this morning, so I’ll update the review later for long-term durability, but everything seems solid for now. The design is nice in stores easily upright. You can use the bags that came with or even bags from the grocery store.The best part is that it’s incredibly easy for my kids to use. My 10-year-old was able to pick up dog poop with it with no trouble, and I even attached a video of him using it. The fact that a bag can be added to the scooper means the bucket stays clean, which I really appreciate.To my surprise, my 5-year-old also had no issues using it on his first try. It’s user-friendly and works well for all ages. I would definitely recommend this product to a friend looking for an easy-to-use and effective way to clean up after their dogs.Overall, this has been a great purchase, and I’m happy with it and think it was a okay value if it came with more bags that would’ve made it a five star product

After trying one too many of those awkward claw-style pooper scoopers that feel like they belong in a carnival game (but with way worse prizes), we finally landed on this Arm & Hammer rake-style scooper—and it’s everything we were hoping for.First off, it works. It’s sturdy, easy to use, and actually picks up what it’s supposed to—without the weird bending, breaking, or fumbling we’ve had with other models. The rake and pan combo glides through grass and gravel like it was born for the job. Bonus: the whole thing looks surprisingly sleek for something designed to deal with poop.Assembly was painless (if there was any at all), and it’s light enough to carry around without feeling like you’re wielding farming equipment. It’s also easy to rinse off, which is a major plus in the name of hygiene and dignity.Bottom line: It’s not glamorous, but if you’ve got a dog, this is one of those unglamorous tools that quietly makes your life better. 10/10 would scoop again.
