The tradeoff: Scented formula; bulk packs are heavy.
+ What it gets right
- + Strongest odor blocking in the Fresh Step line

Why this pick won
Heavy Duty pairs activated charcoal with a 30-day odor guarantee, and in apartment-scale rooms that difference is audible — or rather, isn't. Clumping is solid and dust is controlled for a mainstream clay. It's scented, and the big multi-packs are the economical way to buy it.
