Product Description

The PETT Toilet is one cool little portable camping toilet, and environmentally friendly!

The “PETT”, is Phillips Environmental Products compact dry toilet system. Their motto is “to leave only your footprints behind”, and to do so in the most sanitary method possible for transporting and disposing of both liquid and solid human waste through innovative biodegradable technologies.

The PETT toilet is a collapsible toilet that is about the same size as a standard toilet (standing 14” off the floor) but folds up to a portable briefcase size (5” x 19” x 14”) and weighs only 7 pounds. It makes use of a 3 leg design for maximum stability on uneven ground. Compact and lightweight - very transportable.

Innovative PETT “Wag Bags” are used with the PETT portable environmental toilet (3 are included) that easily fit over or under the seat for maximum sanitation and hygiene. The special bags “gel” waste (turn liquids to solids), neutralize odors, speed the decaying process, are biodegradable, and approved for disposal in any trash can.

When Phillips was asked how much weight the PETT Toilet would hold, their response was this:

“We have driven a truck up where the front end was supported by two PETT toilets; one under each front wheel. While this is not a true scientific weight bearing test, it does demonstrate the durability of supporting a significant amount of weight.”

Does The Job
 
Review Date: January 23, 2008
Reviewer: Sean P. Rooney, Atlanta, GA
I got a chuckle seeing the "video review" choice for this product. Somehow, I don't think it would be a good idea. lol

This thing works fine. Takes a couple seconds to set up. The legs are a little hard to get "unlocked" at first, because the entire thing is molded plastic. When set up, the lid looks like it will stay put like a seat back, but that isn't the case. I wouldn't bother trying to use it as pictured. It just falls off, because it fits into slots that don't lock down.

It's pretty easy to set up the Wag Bag inside of the netting. You'll have to make sure that you spread out the baggy to provide a big enough target.

The Wag Bag kit comes with toilet paper and an antiseptic wet nap. There's a powder inside the bag, so you have to open it up slowly when getting ready to "install" it in the netting. I would recommend having your own TP, as the stuff that's provided isn't that great. Baby wipes are good to have on hand.

When done with your business, the bag has enough extra plastic to fold over the top and avoid touching anything. It pushes easily into the zip-loc style pouch, and then you can stuff the wet naps in and zip it closed. Easy to dispose of in any trash can, too.

I'm about 250 lbs., and this thing supports my weight with no problems. It doesn't feel shaky at all. It's a little shorter than a normal toilet, but it's not a problem.

As for storage, it doesn't take up much space at all. It's light, and has a carrying handle.
Great alternative to an outhouse!

Reviewer: Patrice Sigmon, High Point, NC - USA
We have been using our PETT toilet for about a year. It's terrific to tote along on camping trips to places that either have no facilities or smelly outhouses. We like that the WAG bags are biodegradable, too - it's good to know they won't be sitting in some landfill 50 years from now.
Perfect alternative to buggy, smelly latrines
 
Review Date: December 16, 2009
Reviewer: J. Schroeder,
Ladies can camp in comfort - I love this product! Not that I couldn't if-absolutely-necessary use a smelly latrine, but this makes tent camping much more enjoyable for me. When you are used to your bathroom being an escape at home, this PETT in your own tent continues that feeling, instead of a buggy, smelly, ordeal.
Best alternative ever to a porta-potty (or a bush!)
 
Review Date: January 11, 2010
Reviewer: A. Ezzell, Cave Creek, AZ USA
I have had my Pett for 5+ years now, and I wouldn't part with it. I keep it set up in the dressing/tack room of my horse trailer and it's wonderful for when we go out hunting (beats the heck out of crouching behind a cactus on a chilly morning). I have also used it at horse shows - when we're there for several days, I often set it up in the horse compartment just because there's more room. It's *SO* much nicer than a porta-potty, especially several days into the show.

Not long after I received it as a Christmas present, I bought a 100-pack of the WAG bags, so the cost was quite a bit less than buying the bags a few at a time. I did discover that you shouldn't leave the bags in the trailer during a Phoenix summer, because the packaging and the zip-lock container bag both tend to degrade and shred. The bag containing the powder is fine, though, so I just either tie the neck of that bag shut or use a gallon-sized food storage zip-lock bag.

It is, as someone pointed out, a big difficult to re-fold if you want to put it away, but as I just leave mine set up all the time, that's not a problem for me.

If it should ever break, I will certainly be buying another one.
Not QUITE as advertised
 
Review Date: July 5, 2007
Reviewer: Suzette Crim, Tennessee
This is an excellent product. Strong and sturdy, I have no fears of it collapsing under my weight. It is, however, not quite as tall as a conventional toilet, which is one of its advertising points. It's 2 inches shorter than the toilet in my home. That doesn't sound like a MAJOR deal, but for those of us with bad backs and knees, it's sometimes an issue. Otherwise...it's a winner.
Convenient for Camping
 
Review Date: January 7, 2009
Reviewer: Sunshine, Northwest, AR. USA
This has been one of the best purchases for tent camping. We boat to an island and don't always have access to a camp ground. I highly recommend this product. I bought one for a friend for Christmas, as well.
Cheap product
 
Review Date: November 9, 2009
Reviewer: P. Weston, California
Very, very unhappy with this product. One of the three legs never did colapse easily. I had to use a screwdriver to pry it out of it's locking position. Finally all three legs were giving me trouble. On the last camping trip I threw it in the trash. Very bad investment and little to no quality check.

Product Description

The 5 Gallon Portable Flush Toilet by Palm Springs is a self contained camping toilet with a 3.2 gallon freshwater holding tank and a 2.8 gallon holding tank for waste water. Each tank is made of solid high density polyethylene in a one piece odor and leak proof design that can be easily emptied completely with minimum cleaning neccessary. This 5 gallon portable flush toilet features are very similar to the Century 6205 but currently at a much lower price.

Lightweight Portable Flush Toilet

At 5 gallons and just under 10 pounds, it is in the smaller class of portable flush toilets which makes it lighter weight and more compact than some of the larger, more long-term camping toilet models such as the Visa Potty 268 that has twice the waste holding capacity at 6.3 gallons.

Some of the customer reviews have been less than kind on this portable flush toilet model so be sure and read them before deciding to order.

Considering the extremely low sale price on the Palm Springs 5 Gallon Portable Flush Toilet when compared to the higher-end equivalents such as the Thetford Porta Potti 235, it makes a good option for a portable flush toilet for the budget-minded camper or road tripper.

Product Details

  • Self-contained portable toilet for camp site, boat, RV, or other recreation
  • Sturdy full-size seat/lid; flushes like residential toilet; matte finish conceals scratches
  • 3.2-gallon freshwater holding tank and 2.8-gallon waste-water holding tank

5 Gal Portable Toilet
 
Review Date: September 20, 2009
Reviewer: S. Dupre, RI USA
We like it! We purchased the 5 Gal Portable Toilet for use onboard our pontoon boat. We chose the 5 gal one for two reasons; it had the higher seat, and we figured it best to have too much capacity than not enough. And, ofcourse the price was reasonable compared to similar units. I lubed the seals with a wax paste water repellant (for shoes & boots), which will extend the gaskets life and makes it easier to assemble and take apart to dump and clean.
Very Pleased!

I am really impressed with the speed of delivery from this place. Item arrived in A-1 condition, and at a great price too! I will definately be doing business with them again.
used it this weekend for the first time.
 
Review Date: September 20, 2009
Reviewer: JackieBeans, Bergen County, NJ
I do a lot of camping, and it is camping in an area with no facilities. This was a more than welcome addition to a weekend trip. It was easy to use and clean, and made the trip that much better.
first toilet--not overly-impressed
 
Review Date: April 3, 2009
Reviewer: oil can harry,
like another reviewer wrote, there was no packing material inside to protect it from damage during shipment. i saw the ups guy toss it on the porch and heard rattling. thought it was broken then, but luckily it was only a couple of parts that hadn't been assembled. no invoice inside. just some laughable version of an 'instruction manual' which consisted of one sheet of paper. i'm aware that there's not much instruction involved in using or cleaning a toilet, but looked cheap. nothing about where it's manufactured. nothing. nothing about where to get more parts. where's the invoice? what if it was broken? who to contact? shipping was fast enough. what if i don't like it and want to return it before it's ever used? live and learn, i guess. and i learned that i won't do business with this seller again.
Good enough

Purchased to use while rebuilding house. Is adequate. Doesn't flush all around, so you need to do some extra cleaning once in a while.

Product Description

The Century 6205 is a portable flush toilet that functions equally as well as a portable camping toilet as it does for boating, RV’s or basically any outing away from public facilities. It flushes very much like a residential commode. A one-piece design, leak proof detachable holding tank holds waste until you are ready to empty it.

Bring the convenience of home along with you with the Century 6205. The self contained unit features a 2.6 gallon freshwater holding tank, or reservoir, and a 2.5 gallon waste-water holding tank which makes it a lighter weight portable flush toilet than other comparable and more expensive models. The comfortable full size seat means minimal compromise for portability.

Built in handles make carrying the unit a cinch and corrosion resistant side latches ensure the tanks remain locked together during transport. On top of that, a double sealed drain valve protects against unwanted odors, and leakage.

The Century 6205 holding tanks are heavy duty and durable, built of high-density polyethylene.

For a larger, 5 gallon portable flush toilet option you may also want to have a look at the Century 6210 5 Gallon Portable Toilet which is the bigger brother to the 6205.

The Century 6205 has been noted as having superior drop test strength in comparison to similar, competing models.

Review Date: September 9, 2009
Reviewer: D. Ike Jr., Michigan
One of the cheapest privacy shelters I could find. Went together fairly easy but we had 2 or 3 people helping. I heard reviews of the poles breaking so we were careful with them during assembly. We moved the shelter around a 4 or 5 times while assembled with no parts breaking. Like with everything, treat it right and it will last.
It works
 
Review Date: February 22, 2009
Reviewer: M. R. Henderson, Indianapolis, IN USA
The tent works for what it was made. I had an issue with one of the poles cracking and splitting. I used duct tape and the problem was solved.

Review Date: September 9, 2009
Reviewer: Staci L. Szczypkowski,
I bought this tent to take to the races to have our own port o potty. I tried to put it up by myself and the poles splintered. bad design and the poles really dont fit well together and the instructions do not help either, they say to connect the 2 poles, well there are 6 poles??? I sent it back and they sent another one. This time 2 people put it together and it was able to go together but the poles still are in danger of splinter and breaking because you have to bend them so much. the plastic spikes to hold the tent into the ground dont work in gravel parking lots, they should be metal. Once up, it served its purpose. I suggest buying a different product though.
You Get Less Than You Pay For...
 
Review Date: April 8, 2009
Reviewer: J. Yeagley, Northern Ohio
I bought this Hilo Hut last fall, set it up in the garage for practice and the poles shredded overnight. I contacted Texsport to get some new poles from them and they never responded.

I also had a problem with the zipper, it was missing a tooth or two down low. I put on some duct tape to stop the zipper from going down all the way and getting jammed.

This thing deserves less than 1 star, unfortunately you cannot submit a review without a star rating. How about minus 1?

Bottom line, Amazon has a few other small privacy tents to choose from. You should try your luck with them. The price may look right on this one but be warned you'll get a low quality product, with no customer service from the manufacturer.

Nice!!
 
Review Date: January 6, 2008
Reviewer: J. Keller,
I bought this recently for a camping trip in the desert where there are no facilities. Honestly, I'd never even heard of a "shower tent" before until I was searching around amazon.com looking for anything that could help make the trip more enjoyable since I would be tent camping for 5 days. I'm really glad I bought this and it was so nice to be able to take a "real" shower while hanging out in the boonies.

I did the trial set-up at home (highly recommend) and when I got to the camp site, I had this thing up in 15 minutes. I did have to use the guy lines to help stabilize it but I think that was because the ground wasn't completely level. I didn't use the rain cover at first, but in the end, decided to put it on because it seemed to add stability to the unit. Also, I didn't think I'd need to use the floor because I was on sandy desert ground...but I should have put that on because I was soon squishing in silty-slippery sandy desert mud in no time. Live and learn.

The included 5-gallon solar shower is great, but I found that filling it all the way up was a little much for the time of year and amount of sun available...my first shower was cold! But subsequent days, with less water in the bag, the temp was just fine. However, keep in mind that these types of shower bags are still gravity-fed, so you'll be bending over to get your head wet, body rinsed, etc. I think for the next trip I'll add a hot-water-on-demand-shower-pump to my car-camping gear.

Overall, great product, well made, sturdy and easy to assemble on my own sans help from hubbie. Keep in mind, though, this is a heavy piece of equipment and likely not something you want to hike-in with for any great distance. Great for car-camping, though.

After trying a couple of other brand/models it is a real pleasure to use the TexSport. Goes up easily & is very sturdy when pegged down correctly. Well designed & the 'extras' such as poly floor, towel bars, shower caddy, etc., are great. I like this unit best of all similar items available.
Great outdoor shower shelter.
 
Review Date: May 26, 2007
Reviewer: S. A. Chritz, Michigan
This shower shelter is a great size, plenty of room to stand up and move around, and I was able to put it together easily by myself. It is a sturdy shelter, but the mesh pockets that you hang inside to keep toiletries in seems a little flimsy.
Great camp shower and can withstand very strong winds!

Reviewer: Strelnikov!, Orange County, CA USA
The shower tent set up quickly and was pretty sturdy. It's pretty big inside too. It leaned somewhat when the wind picked-up so I used the stakes and guy wires to stabilize it. We used it for showers and as an outhouse with a Pett toilet.

Reviewer: Amanda Adams, san diego, ca
This is really perfect. It is roomy and stable. The floor is removable. We put our luggable loo in here and then removed the toilet and put the floor down to take showers. Oh, the shower that comes with the shelter leaked at the plug but since I didn't even know the shelter came with a shower, I still give it 5 stars.
Great Camp Shower
 
Review Date: July 12, 2009
Reviewer: J. Arnett, Kansas, USA
We purchased and used this over 4th of July weekend. Did a dry run set-up in the back yard prior to actual use which definitely helped. It's roomy and the corner pouch handled 3 different bottles of shampoo/body wash with no problem. Like how the windows on either side zip open/close so you can hang towels or clothes outside to stay dry while showering. Did not use rain fly this trip. We used an Eccotemp portable tankless water heater and inserted the shower head through the window. Definitely worth the money for us.

Product Description

The Visa Potty 268 is the deluxe portable flush toilet by Sanitation Equipment that is designed to bring a little modern convenience and sanitation to your campsite. With a 6+ gallon holding tank the Visa 268 can go more days between emptying than other similar portable flush toilets but the tradeoff is the additional size and weight, especially when full.

It uses a piston-type flushing mechanism that provides a highly effective 2-direction rinse. Also included are convenient level indicators to easily monitor both the fresh water tank and holding tank levels.

The larger size and additional height makes the Visa Potty 268 a more comfortable camping toilet to actually use compared to similar portable flush toilet models such as the Thetford Porta Potti 135, but as state before, it does come with the price of overall size and weight.

The Visa Potty 268 is an ideal portable flush toilet solution for family camping or outdoor group outings (large capacity) and users with sensitive backs or knees (height).

The Visa Potty 268 is Easy To Use

  • Easy to read Level indicator
  • Multiple-flush fresh water reservoir
  • Spout storage compartment
  • Quick release separation latches
  • Air vent for smooth & easy discharge

The Visa Potty 268 is Easy To Clean

  • Detachable spout for discharge
  • Piston pump dual direction rinse

Great Product
 
Review Date: August 20, 2006
Reviewer: firemn74, Alabama
We are big Nascar fans and attend at least 3 race weekends per year and we have thought about getting one of these for a long time (sick of using public port-o-pots). This unit is the answer to our prayers. If you have used a toilet in a camper, this is very similar. Before I actually used the unit, I filled it with CLEAN WATER to test the seals and they held with NO Leaking. It is also easy to use and dispose of the waste. Good Product, Very Happy.

Review Date: July 25, 2007
Reviewer: R. Miller, Aurora, IL USA
I had an older model of this type of portable toilet, but the years had taken their toll and it was time to replace it. The Visa 268 has been a good choice. The flushing mechanism is much improved over my old model and it seems much less likely to break. I also decided to spend a little more for the 268 since its holding tank is larger and that means more time between emptying. Of course, the seat could always be bigger for someone like me with a bigger sitter, but at least it holds up under my more than 250 pounds of weight. The construction keeps odors contained and I have never had a problem with leaking.

In a house with only one bathroom, and more than one person, this portable toilet is kept within easy reach in the basement. In case of emergencies, particularly if two people become ill at the same time, it comes in awfully handy. When camping, there is little better than not having to run to the public restroom, or out into the woods, in the middle of the night. Keeping this toilet right in the tent makes camping a whole lot more tolerable.
Really great portable toilet!!
 
Review Date: January 6, 2008
Reviewer: J. Keller,
I bought this porta-pot for a camping trip out in the desert in an area where there are no facilities. I was skeptical, but I really didn't relish the idea of squatting out in the open where there are literally hundreds of off-roaders zooming by throughout the day. I kept this unit in my tent and never have I camped with such luxury. No more freezing late-night runs to potty outside or piddling in a bucket to be dumped later. It was great!! No odor leakage problems between uses and it was very easy to dump out. I was worried it would get too heavy to lift since I was travelling sans hubbie, but it wasn't a problem. When I got home, I cleaned it up with a bit of water-bleach solution and a good rinse - clean up was very easy.

It comes with a 4oz sample of Liquid Gold concentrated toilet deodorizer that you add to the holding tank (enough for one load); if you plan to dump it more than once on your trip, I recommend you stock up on more of this handy item. Also, dealing with solids took a bit of ingenuity...I found that a very thin layer of TP at the bottom of the bowl took care of any sticky issues. I'm just saying. Another tip - collecting your "yellow" paper in a small plastic trash bag and/or adding it to the campfire pit saves space inside the holding tank.
Perfect Backup Toilet

Having a mountain cabin with just one restroom creates a problem when we have very many guests at one time. The Visa 268 has given us a great backup for "emergencies". The larger capacity of this portable toilet allowed us to go through the Christmas holidays and we only had to dump and clean at the end of the trip. We won't use it often, but when needed it will be invaluable.
Wonderful!

We bought the Visa 268 Deluxe Portable Toilet to replace the toilet on our 1972 25' Cal sailboat. The original toilet was in fine working order but did not have a holding tank; it dumped directly into the river (which is, of course, no longer legal.)

The Visa 268 fit nicely into the the old "head" space and works like a dream. We are thrilled with the ease of use and the lack of odors (important since the "head" is next to our sleeping area. Plus there's no more "pumping and dumping"; instead we simply dump the holding tank into the yacht club toilets when necessary.

I would recommend the Visa 268 Deluxe Portable Toilet to anyone with a boat, RV or tent. When we used to tent-camp, how nice it would have been to have our own portable toilet, rather than walking to the ones at the campground!

We give the Visa 268 Deluxe Portable Toilet five stars!
Ship ahoy...add a privacy curtain and you can "go" anywhere!

I purchased this unit for our 20 ft. runabout boat. Although we don't have a cabin for privacy, West Marine offers a "privacy curtain" for $30, which I see as a great accessory. So far, I've only used the unit once, while offshore fishing. As was commented regarding the seals, I had filled the unit with its 3 gallons of flush water, put some "porta-potty deoderizer/anti bacterial liquid" in the 6 gallon collection unit, and didn't have any leakage problems. Like many others, my wife and I prefer clean facilities. Anywhere you can comfortably place this unit, you'll find it to be very user friendly. I've not dumped the unit yet, and will be going back to my boat today at Dana Point Harbor to do some maintenance. I'm curious to see if 3 wks of "waste storage" has created any odors or issues? I'll let you know...............?
VIsa 268 Potty
 
Review Date: May 30, 2008
Reviewer: Lori Bean,
We purchased this potty to take camping with us. We have three small children and often camp in locations far from the facilities. This proved a good choice for us. We like the fact that the large holding tank, althought we filled the first one up quickly, the kids had a good time flushing. One thing that did help with the flushing is keeping the toilet level. We put ours in the shower house, which we locate on a slope so the water can drain. To level the toilet our I just took an old towel and rolled it up and placed it underneath. If you are looking for a potty, I would spend a little more and definitely get the larger tank. We camped for five days and emptied only three times. One more thing if the flushing or rinsing levers start to stick a little, use a little vasoline, and they'll work just like new. We had a lot of mud and dirt to deal with on this trip.

Great buy!
 
Review Date: June 16, 2008
Reviewer: livewiresmom, Pennsylvania
This is a great buy! I purchased two for my Youth Group to go to Creation Festival, one for boys to shower and change in and one for girls. I am so pleased with them. They are larger than I expected and have plenty of room to shower and change without being cramped. They are durable and easy to pop-up and take down. They take up little room to store and travel. I'm glad I purchased two right away. Hope this helps.
pop up shelter
 
Review Date: April 4, 2009
Reviewer: markus, Broken Arrow, Ok. USA
I think this pop up is going to do the trick for us. My wife is handicap and cannot make it to the out house at the family camp in Maine. She found a unique camp toilet but needed some privacy, she found this shower pop up and now we have it. A private space,plus a shower if ever needed. The family already has a shower but the more we stay up there when I retire the easier for my wife and I to enjoy the lake and it's surroundings. This product will be a blessing.

Pop up shelter** Must have for Parents
 
Review Date: May 15, 2009
Reviewer: Cell phone mom, Columbus ohio
The Guide Gear Pop-up Shelter has been the most wonderful outdoor item that I have ever purchased. It actually pops up and is ready to use. It is easy to fold despite the negative reviews about the instructions (I almost did not order the the pop-up shelter because i did not think that I would be able to fold it up). There are only five simple steps and it is folded and ready to put in the trunk. It is a must have for Parents, you can take it to the park, the kids can change clothes in it. It has alot of room, there is room for a portable toilet, a chair, and a small table. In addition, it is a little over 6 feet tall. This is a wonderful item.... it is third on my list right after a car, washer-dryer set, and the Guide Gear Pop-up Shelter.
Easy to use
 
Review Date: June 11, 2009
Reviewer: Lauri Abed, Northern California
Our family has always been more on the "minimal" side for car camping trips, but with my 23 year old daughter and her friends along on our recent trip, we needed a shower. We bought a Zodi water heater and this pop up shower tent. Great decision! The tent pops up in a second, nothing to put together and added almost no weight or bulk to our gear. The olive green material provided total coverage, blended nicely with the outdoor terrain, and had plenty of room for big guys. The 3 adjustments we made were adding a clip/clothespin to attach the shower head to the top, a chair right outside to hang towel and clothes (it cannot support much weight), and a large plastic pan to stand on. With those items, we had eight of us showering daily with no hitch.
Love It!

Reviewer: S. Artist, midwest, usa
We love this product and have used it a lot...but in an unintended way. We have several dancers in our family and endure long days and weekends of competitions and performances. I bought this pop-up to take with us to allow privacy for costume changes, cat naps and quiet spots for doing homework. It is big enough to accommodate all of that and yet lightweight and small enough to carry it with us. It sets up and comes down easily. It folds up to the size of an extra-large pizza but weighs next to nothing.
Good deal

Product Description

The Reliance Luggable Loo Toilet is your bare-bones bucket toilet - at a very reasonable price. The seat and cover are the standard snap-on style that fit snugly on the included 5 gallon bucket. The Luggable Loo toilet may be the most basic camping toilet, but it is rugged and durable and works well for any outdoor activity, or even a low-budget boating solution.

The Reliance Luggable Loo Toilet may be the very basic of basics in the portable camping toilet market but it doesn’t have to perform like the bottom of the bucket. It works perfectly well when used as-is, but for a more pleasant experience you can easily use plastic liners, or better yet, Wag Bags which will provide liquid-free waste and virtually no necessary clean-up.

Reliance Luggable Loo Features Include

  • A Seat
  • A Lid
  • A Bucket

Product Details

  • Luggable Loo Portable 5 gallon (20 liter) bucket style toilet.
  • Most economically priced portable toilet.
  • Traditional snap-on hinged seat and cover.

Review of a Toilet
 
Review Date: April 27, 2006
Reviewer: CJ Quibble,
Simple yet ingenious design. Sturdy seat and lid close securly over the 5 gallon bucket, so there is no danger of sliding off, or sinking into the bucket while completing your business. Just don't try to transport the bucket any great distance if you filled it, because the seat lid is not a liquid tight seal.

For easier clean-up, I would recommend using small trash bags as liners for each use. When you're done simply remove the liner, tie-up, throw away, and install a new one. Does away with the odor and mess.

Very useful when your camping and nature comes calling at 3 AM, when the bathroom is a mile down the road.
Loved the Luggable Loo
 
Review Date: August 16, 2006
Reviewer: Jersey Girl, New Jersey
The Luggable Loo is great for camping. It is convenient to have a portable toilet in your tent. It saves you the trouble of getting dressed and walking to the bathroom in the middle of the night. It is comfortable to sit on. I lined it with a plastic bag with kitty litter in it. The kitty litter absorbed the liquid, and I just tied up the bag and threw it away. This is a great product.
A lifesaver

Reviewer: Justine Gaster-sult, Berkeley Springs, WV
Say goodbye to dirty stinky porta-johns!!! Wow! I am so excited about this product!!! It was my most valuable possession during the last festival I vended at. The double doodie bags are a must-have addition to this portable toilet. I actually missed it after packing it up and needing to use the restroom during my drive back! Put this inside your tent or portable shower room, and you will love it. It will pay for itself the very first time your bum hits it! The seat is comfortable, at a reasonable height, and the lid snaps down on it nicely. I have and will recommend this product to anyone who is away from a "real" toilet for any length of time.
Great Boat Potty
 
Review Date: October 27, 2007
Reviewer: Angst 2 Amity,
I gave this to my parents for their pontoon boat. It gets used all of the time by their grandkids. You just pop the seat on a 5 gallon bucket. I purchased 13 gallon bags that fit right inside and can be tossed after each boat trip. Who wants to clean a potty bucket? I have used it too - works great. I also bought one for my car and my 3 children - but we never used it, so that seemed silly.
Affordable and Super-Convenient!
 
Review Date: June 15, 2007
Reviewer: Janet Ma'ly, Chicago area, IL USA
My fiancé, an author, and I (we met online) were planning my first trip to his home after spending a couple of months here in my city together. He lives in a one-room cabin on a lake in Upper Michigan with no indoor plumbing and only an outhouse for "taking care of business." After he mentioned mosquitoes and an occasional bear, going out in the middle of the night to the outhouse didn't sound so convenient. Searching Amazon.com I found the Luggable Loo. What a great find at a great price! It is stable and with the top down emits no noticeable odor after use. I'm going to try the kitty litter suggestion from other reviews to help with odor when opened after first use. The product comes with two easy to use free sample packets of digester/deodorant which worked great. The only problem has been finding a place that carries more of the digester/deodorant. It would be great if this was offered on Amazon.com as well.
Awesome invention
 
Review Date: July 2, 2008
Reviewer: Always a rocker, West Spfld, MA
Used this when camping. It has a snug lid and a flip down top, just like a toilet seat and very light. I read all the reviews and liked the one where you line it with a 13 gallon trashbag and put about a cup of kitty litter on the bottom. Worked awesome, was the best investment I've made in a while. I'm alittle on the heavy side and it was very sturdy.

Reviewer: Brian Huse,
What you see is what you get -- a bucket and a seat. My 4-year-old used it while camping, which is all I was hoping for. We didn't test it for solids. Don't expect a watertight seal. Consider using some kitty litter in it for deodorizer.
