Is this litter box anything more than Sterlite or other brand plastic tote with a hole cut in the lid?

The base - maybe yes. But the lid had ridges and stuff that help with the litter - that would be different.

Not at all, except for the ridges in the lid and the available proprietary liners. If either feature is important to you, the price may be worth paying. I don't like liners and find a quick vacuuming takes care of tracked litter so I made my own boxes. My cats are large so I used larger totes that still cost much less. I glued carpet to the lids for traction, but I'm no longer using the lids at all. My cats prefer open boxes. I have sturdy small tables the same height next to them to give the cats easy access in and out.

I tried to cut a hole in the top of the box you mention and tupperware as well. It was difficult as the box top split and was sharp on the edges when done. The clever cat top has ridges built into it for the cat to clean his paws after using the litter. Also it is great if you have a male cat who sprays up the back of the box. It is contained. It is worth the money because it is durable.

I made my own from a see-through sterilite container and used a hot glue gun to glue a fake grass welcome mat on the lid. I used a large bowl or dinner plate as the template for the hole and cut through the grass mat as well. then I used an emery board to file any sharp edges so that they are smooth. the grass mat keeps a lot of litter trapped...I would assume more than this grooved lid. and the cost was under $10. you can get a grass mat or something similar from a dollar store. You can use a dremel tool, hot knife or a very sharp utility knife to cut the hole.

We have had this litter box for over 10 years and it is still going strong. Other litter boxes have come and gone, but this one goes on and on.

Yeah, pretty much. The top is just kind of grated to catch the kitty litter as cat jumps out. Works ok. Doesn't really keep kitty litter from going everywhere around it (less than a normal cat box of course though). Mainly got this so our dog stops getting "snacks". :P

Although you could make your own using a Sterilite tote with a lid, I've seen lots of pictures and videos on the internet, I love the groves in this lid. They really help keep the litter from being spread all over the floor. I don't have the time nor do I want to make my own homemade version. So to me the value of the litter box is worth paying it's price. Plus I love using the liners that are specially made for it. I have 2 of them and I plan to buy more when I get another cat. Hope that helps.

There are locks on either side of the lid. The lid then comes off the top to scoop. I love this litter box and it definitely will not leak urine.

Yes. It is a great cat box. Plenty of room for the cat. I put in a plastic box bottom (can buy at Walmart) inside the chest for the litter, and I also coated the inside walls of the chest with sticky contact paper to keep the box clean. If needed you can wipe the contact paper with a rag and a bucket of water with a cleaning agent in the water. The cat was getting in the chest before we even had it all put together. She loves it, and so do I. Nobody knows its a litter box. People are surprised when I show them what it is. I recommend it highly.

It is heavy plastic. I absolutely love this box. I am on my second one - I replace them once a year. The front is low so it is easy for a cat to walk into and the sides are high which prevents litter from flying all over the place. Also, litter boxes with lids are supposed to be mean to do to cats. I cannot recommend this more. There is only one negative - it is very large so make sure you have space to fit it. Hope that helps!

The cardboard liner box fits in the bottom and makes it easier to lift out and clean. The liner boxes are more expensive than I would have thought for cardboard. So I cover the liner box with a litter bag (31") and install it. The bag protects the box which then provides mechanical support when removing. Just dispose of the litter bag when it needs to be changed and reuse the cardboard liner.

I no longer use the Lucky Champ litter box because the lower portion of the exit end proved to be too low - cat litter dumped & scattered everywhere all of the time. I had bought this box for my older, overweight cat but it just didn't work out. I have no idea whether you idea of putting 2 together will work - no longer know the W&L; as I donated the box - sorry.

No the bottom of the litter box has ridges that are very low. It appears to be well made

It is a hole and you will need to use bags with it. I actually used plastic grocery bags a couple times :) the bags attach around the potty.

The high back and sides of the Iris Open Top Litter Box contains the cat spraying, and it's cheap on Amazon. THIS IS WHAT SOMEONE USED. THEY POSTED THEIR OWN REVIEWER PICS OF IT ON THERE AND IT SEEMS TO FIT JUST FINE.IM WAITING TO SEE IF ANYONE HAS TRIED A BREEZE SYSTEM IN IT. I LOVE MY LITTER BOX TOO MUCH TO GIVE IT UP LOL.

No. But one of the best features about this is the COVERED catch container that easily removes to dump in the toilet. It is way easier than anything else I have used. I have this and a Breeze box and I am online looking to purchase another SmartCatbox. I have had ours for four years and my tubby 25 pound Maine coon finally broke thru the bottom in one place.

I've been using this box for some time now with 3 cats, 2 under a year and 1 older, all about average size. Haven't tried a liner but it does a good job of containing the litter. It seems the liner could be held in place at least partially by the top which is pretty secure with 4 good size snaps. Aligning the top can be a little tricky at first but easy to figure out. Hope this helps!

It's the same bag. Sometimes coloring gets distorted on pictures. I would never flush any litter, though. They're the exact same.

I haven't used kitty wonderbox, but the sides on the regular size pan are like a normal plastic litterbox in height. Might want to try the large size in a 2-pack for your little rockette! :-)

The slots up on the top limit the amount of litter hitting the ground. Best cat box I've had in 30 yrs.. Id say IF you are going to make one, go buy a Rubber Made tub at Lowes and cut a hole in that. Cutting into your typical cat box will be too flimsy... Hope it helps..

This a well constructed box & can't imagine it won't be around for many, many years. As for stains, how could urine & feces stain plastic? Unless you're an absolute pig who doesn't clean a litter box for years on end, I don't understand your question? You should probably contact the manufacturer.

The litter box is made of a hard plastic (not bendable like a Rubbermaid bin). It is not really porous so there is not an odor problem after I wash it out, and no, it won't warp. I wash my litter box weekly, because my two cats have always destroyed liners with their scratching, no matter what type of liner. The liner is like a coated cardboard and it fits nicely in the box, plus there are markings to show how far to fill the litter. If you are able to use liners normally, the you should be able to use them without a problem.

I'm not sure but this one is not any larger than your average cheap litter box you buy at the store.
