Both NIP trays are open, not covered or hooded

If you searched for a covered cat litter tray, hooded litter box or cat litter tray with door, start here: the supplied product records describe NIP PLUS and NIP 30 as open litter trays for cats. Neither is listed as covered, hooded or fitted with a door. The real comparison is therefore between two open trays, one with a removable plastic frame for liner bags and one sized for larger cats.

That distinction matters because an open tray suits cats that dislike enclosed spaces, while a covered box offers more visual concealment. The supplied information does not confirm a covered version of either model, so treat this as an open-tray decision rather than a hooded-box buying guide.

What separates NIP PLUS from NIP 30

  • Liner system: NIP PLUS has a removable plastic frame that holds a hygienic tray liner bag firmly in place. The supplied record names FPI 5361 liner bags for Nip 10 Plus. NIP 30's supplied record does not mention a liner frame.
  • Size and cat suitability: NIP 30 is described as generously sized and particularly suitable for extra large cats. NIP PLUS is described as an open tray for cats without a size claim in the supplied record.
  • Cleaning and use: Both are described as practical and easy to clean. NIP PLUS adds the liner-bag option; NIP 30 is described as helping a cat gradually get used to using the box.
  • Materials: Both are described as eco-sustainable products made with material from industrial recycling and post-consumption. NIP 30 is also described as sturdy plastic.
  • Catalog price: The catalog lists NIP PLUS at USD 9.48 (comparison price USD 15.80) and NIP 30 at USD 17.71 (comparison price USD 25.30). Prices can change, so check the current listing.

NIP PLUS: liner-friendly open tray

  • NIP PLUS: The supplied record names FPI 5361 hygienic tray liner bags for Nip 10 Plus. Check that the liners you plan to use match this reference before buying, since the record does not list liner sizes for every tray.

NIP 30: generous size for extra large cats

  • NIP 30: Open litter box made of sturdy plastic, described as very practical to use and clean. A straightforward open tray for owners who want simple cleaning without a liner frame.

  • NIP 30: Generous size makes it particularly suitable for extra large cats. If your cat is large or needs more room to turn around, NIP 30 is the model the supplied record points to.

Measure your space before you decide

The supplied records describe NIP 30 as generously sized but do not give exact dimensions for either tray. Before ordering, measure the floor space where the tray will sit and compare it with the dimensions shown on the current product page. For a large cat, allow enough room for the cat to enter, turn and dig without the tray feeling tight.

NIP PLUS's liner frame adds a practical step to cleaning, but it also means the tray is designed around a bag. If you prefer to scoop and wash a bare tray, NIP 30's simpler open design may suit you better.

How to choose between them

  1. 1. Decide on liners: If you want to use hygienic tray liner bags held in place by a frame, NIP PLUS is the model with that feature in the supplied record.
  2. 2. Check your cat's size: For an extra large cat, the supplied record specifically describes NIP 30 as suitable. NIP PLUS has no size claim in the supplied information.
  3. 3. Compare the price: NIP PLUS is listed lower in the catalog, but the liner bags are an extra purchase. Factor both into your budget.
  4. 4. Confirm what is not stated: Neither record confirms a hood, door or exact dimensions. If those features are essential, ask before buying rather than assuming.
