Tevila XL Enclosed Litter Box Review: Size, Setup Modes and What the Listing Claims
As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases. Details
The Tevila XL litter box is a large enclosed box in black, with a stainless steel tray and ABS housing. Its listing gives an outside size of 23.62 x 15.74 x 15.74 inches and a weight of 8.6 pounds. It can be set up as a fully enclosed box, a semi-covered box or an open pan. This review covers what the listing states, and what it does not.
Quick answer
- Size: 23.62 x 15.74 x 15.74 inches, weight 8.6 pounds, according to the listing.
- Setup: three modes, listed as fully enclosed with lid, semi-covered, or open pan.
- Best fit: a large cat, or a household with more than one cat that wants a box with a lid and a dog-proof latch.
- Not the right pick: a small space, or a home that needs a warranty longer than the listed six months.
Dimensions and weight
The listing gives the same figure in its product dimensions and its item dimensions: 23.62 x 15.74 x 15.74 inches. The item weight is 8.6 pounds. The listing does not state a litter depth or a wall height separate from the box height, so the 15.74-inch height is the only figure for the walls.
For a cat that needs to turn and dig, the length is the figure to check. At 23.62 inches, the listing describes a box that is longer than most of the open boxes in the same search results. Measure the floor space you have before you order, and leave room to open the lid or the front door. The listing’s target species list names cats, including Maine Coon, Ragdoll and Shorthair, and also lists rabbit. This page covers the cat use only, because the sources we opened are about cat litter boxes.
The three setup modes
The listing says the box can be “fully enclosed litter box with lid, semi-covered, or open pan.” It does not explain how each mode is assembled or how long the assembly takes. In practice, a fully enclosed box keeps litter and smell inside. An open pan is easier to scoop and to see into. A semi-covered setup sits between the two. Choose the mode that suits your cat. An enclosed box that a cat avoids is not a good fit, even if it looks tidy.
The listing also describes “front entry top exit” for multi-cat use. It does not state the height of the front entry, and it does not state how the top exit works. If you have an older cat, measure the entry height against your cat’s stride before you buy.
Material and cleaning
The tray is stainless steel, and the listing says it is non-porous. It says the surface is non-stick and scratch-resistant and that it “won’t absorb odors.” The housing is ABS. The listing does not give a test method for odor, so treat the odor claim as the listing’s description.
A metal tray is easier to wipe than a rough plastic tray, but the listing does not state a cleaning schedule or the cleaning products that are safe to use. Read the manufacturer’s care notes when the box arrives.
Odor and mat features
The listing says the box includes “a carbon filter pack for strong odor control” and “tall walls and seamless overlap” to stop leaks and splashes. These are the manufacturer’s descriptions. The listing does not state an odor test result, so we have not confirmed how well either feature works.
The listing’s item details name “Litter Scoop & Step” as the included components, and its bullets add a litter mat and four non-slip pads. The step board is described for kittens or senior cats. The mat is described as a way to catch scattered litter. Litter mats help with tracking, but the listing does not state how much litter the mat catches.
What we could not verify
- 80-liter capacity. The listing says the box has a “large 80L capacity” and can hold “cat litter up to 40L.” These are the listing’s words. We did not find a figure for capacity on the second source, so we do not confirm it.
- Dog-proof latch. The listing describes a lockable latch that keeps dogs out. The sources do not describe how well the latch works.
- Safety for cat health. The listing says the tray is “safe for cat’s health.” That is a claim about health, and neither source supports it. Ask your vet if you have a question about your cat’s health.
- Years of use. The listing says the pan is “built to last for years,” but it does not state a test or a durability figure.
- Warranty scope. The listing gives a six-month term and describes it as a repair or replacement for manufacturer defects. It does not describe what else is covered.
How we chose
We used the single product on file for this model and opened the Amazon listing through the scanner on 2026-10-20. We opened the PetSmart guide on 2026-10-27 for the general rule on box count. The PetSmart guide is about litter boxes in general and does not cover this model. We did not use prices, star ratings or review counts.
Buying checklist
- Measure the spot against 23.62 x 15.74 x 15.74 inches, and leave room for the door or lid.
- Decide between an enclosed and an open setup based on your cat’s habits.
- Check the entry height against your cat’s age and stride.
- Count your cats. PetSmart’s general rule is “one box per cat plus one extra.” For two cats, that means three boxes.
- Confirm the warranty terms in the listing before you buy.
