We needed to purchase a scooper for our back yard, so I went to Amazon to review the options. Both this product and the Sanitary Pooper Scooper received pretty positive reviews. I decided to buy them both so my girlfriend and I have something to do together (ha). This Wire Rack type is quite simple in design whereas the Sanitary Pooper Scooper is the crossed handle kind. I found that both work generally well. But, the Wire Rake one really impressed me. It is incredibly easy to use–just “rake” through the poop. The Sanitary model is more a grabber or clasper of the poop. The huge advantage goes to the Wire Rack if/when the poop is sort of down into the grass. The Sanitary model tends to chop up the poop, leaving gross half chunks behind. The Wire Rake style just easily slid through the grass and in the process smoothly picked up the poop. It even worked great in thicker and taller grass. Both do the job, but the Wire Rake was really impressive and deserves 5 stars. The Sanitary model is adequate, but deserves only 3 stars in my opinion. Also, the Sanitary model sort of feels a little bit cheapie, too, whereas the Wire Rake is quite sturdy and feels of a higher quality make. So, of the two links below, I would personally recommend going with the second link, the Wire Rake Scooper for Grass. Sanitary Pooper Scooper, Rake Wire Rake Scooper for Grass

I’ve only used it about 10 times so far, but it works better than I expected. Not sure how it would work for small dogs, but it is great for medium to large dogs. Works well to separate the “stuff” from the grass and I like that I can hang it on a nail in the area where I use it most.
This rake works great, I just had a new sod lawn installed and needed something that would remove the waste and not rip out the grass at the same time, and this product does that.
So far this thing works great for my two dogs! Recently moved into a house with a small-ish backyard with grass and dirt, and stepped in poop 3 separate times in one day. Knew I needed to get a pooper scooper quick, found this, great price, shipped quickly and now I use it daily! I love that I can do it with one hand, love that it can hold more than one ‘dropping’ at a time, and love that the rake doesn’t make me feel like I’m ripping up the lawn every time I scoop! My dogs have been having the post-move/nervous ‘runs’ and as long as it has a little time to stiffen up, this thing gets most if not all the dropping with ease (sorry, TMI, but how else do you review a pooper scooper?!). It is a little short (I’m 5’10″), but overall I’m very happy with it. Have a small trash can in the yard that I can quickly drop the poop into, so haven’t run into any of the ‘bagging’ issues that other reviewers have complained about.
Believe it or not i gave this as a Christmas gift this year and it so totally appreciated. we have two medium size dogs and there was no problem picking up the stuff. they do create quite a lot of output so it was great that the scooper can pick up multiple piles. the only comment he said was that the handle might be made a bit longer. but it is still worth five stars as it significantly speeds up the process.
