This litter was bought to try instead of wood pellets, and I won't be going back.
Comments made by some people stating that it sets like concrete are correct, which is what makes it easy to clean!
Admittedly, if the cat urinates right at the edge of the tray and the wet litter touches the side, it does stick and a thin layer needs to be scraped off. However, if you follow the instructions and have at least 5-6cm depth of litter, liquid should never reach the bottom of the tray and you shouldn't have the problems some people are complaining about where the litter sticks to the bottom of the tray. Look at some of the photos - depth of litter looks a bit shallow.
Although more expensive than wood pellets, you don't have to throw away half of the litter every few days, as you just remove the lumps and top up the tray as necessary. Overall, I think this is going to work out to be more economical than wood pellets. It is certainly much easier to keep clean.
As for the smell, the two bags I've bought so far have a very faint baby powder smell, and certainly don't smell of rotting dead animal (as reported by one reviewer) unless there is a poop lurking beneath the surface! The smell of urine is well controlled.
Just one word of warning - don't flush it down the toilet. The granules turn to clay when wet and will probably stick to and eventually block your sewer pipes!
