Product Description
The Texsport Folding Toilet is the “no-frills” basic and simple collapsible camping toilet that folds flat for easy storage. There are no bells and whistles here. What you get is a budget friendly functional portable toilet that is sanitary and does the job it was intended to do.

This folding toilet features sturdy tubular steel legs that are heavy–duty and a durable plastic toilet seat with a removable plastic retaining ring that holds the toilet bag in place, making it easy to maintain a sanitary toilet. Like pretty much all of the collapsible camping toilets, the Texsport folding toilet is designed to be used with disposable camping toilet bags which makes for about as hassle-free of an outdoor “nature-call” as you can get.

Once you’ve “done-your-business”, simply remove the waste bag, seal-it, and dispose of it at your earliest convenience.

The Texsport folding toilet includes 6 disposable toilet waste bags that are made of polyvinyl chloride PVC construction. 12 pack replacement toilet bags are available and can be purchased separately.

Texsport Folding Toilet Dimensions (folded)

love my loo
 
Review Date: June 2, 2008
Reviewer: L. fels, cazadero, ca
we've used this loo for several years--while we're building a more permanent and substantial one. yes, one time it collapsed--i hadn't secured the leg into the seat slot. mea culpa. my granddaughter had issues w/ potty training--wouldn't use a toilet at all, 'til she agreed to use this one. the issues ended. she now uses a real potty but is still glad to use this one when she's staying w/ us.
Good Value for the Money

Reviewer: L. McNeil,
Just as advertised. I haven't had any other portable toilets so I'm reserving my 5th star just in case I ever find a deluxe one. This one serves our puposes just fine though.
Happy Camper/Hiker

Reviewer: J. C. Bednar, Junction City, KS USA
Had one of these items while in the military and it did come in handy. Beats trying to hover over a hole in the ground or trying to park one cheek on a log/rock and vigorously grasping the other cheek. Some of the items clips did break off, but that was rectified with duct tape. After a while the legs did tend to bend but that was rectified by having a friend weld some supports alond the legs. Balance for this item is not very good, so don't expect to read a newspaper while using this. Can be used with bags or you can get creative and dig a hole under you and play "bombadier". After a while the seat itself broke, but, again, that was rectified with duct tape. After a few years of using duct tape and other creative ways of fixing this item, I hit on the idea of cutting a hole into the seat of a folding chair (much more comfortable). This item is good for the quick use/day trip. Sometimes you get what you pay for. Good concept though.
Not happy at all

Reviewer: Tarek El Erian,
Very very cheap quality.. Made in china! Part of it broke off the first time i use it.. And it didn't come with the 6 disposable bags, though its written on the box that it comes with them! Wouldn't recommend it to anyone!
Good for a laugh!

Reviewer: Smokin' Guru,
I set this up in our shower tent. The legs collapsed and I fell backward. Wife came in to check on me after hearing a string of expletives. She couldn't stop laughing the rest of the day. We have since bought one of those 5-gallon plastic buckets with a custom molded seat (about $15 for both). Just use regular kitchen sized white or black plastic bags - PERFECT!! If you insist on buying the folding loo, I have one - used ONCE!
You'll break it
 
Review Date: February 9, 2009
Reviewer: Thomas A. Cameron, Bedford, NH
Unfortunately, the seat's plastic clips broke while I was sitting on it, and the situation was almost bad. While it easily provided $20 worth of entertainment, it did not last $20 worth of use.
flimsy
 
Review Date: April 27, 2009
Reviewer: a.consumer, san diego, ca United States
The product arrived promptly. It is unbelievably flimsy. I am a small woman and yet I will be amazed if it lasts very long under any weight.
It was difficult to get the metal to fit under the plastic tabs. My partner is strong and he gave up on it. I took a jewelry pliers and gently worked on bending the plastic to open it enough to accomodate the metal frame. So, I imagine I will get limited use from this but cannot recommend purchase to anyone.

Visa Potty 248 by Sanitation Equipment

Product Description
The Visa Potty 248 is a deluxe portable flush toilet by Sanitation Equipment that is designed to bring a little modern convenience and sanitation to your campsite. The Visa Potty 248 holding tanks hold 3.7 gallons of fresh water and 4.8 gallons of waste water which is slightly less capacity than its larger brother, the Visa Potty 268 which has a 6+ gallon holding tank. There really isn’t any physical size difference between the 248 and 268 but the 248 weighs about a pound less at 11.2 pounds compared to 12.2 pounds for the 268.

Both models use 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.

Both Visa 248 and 268 offer additional height (16.5 inches) which make them a more comfortable camping toilet to actually use compared to similar portable flush toilet models such as the Century 6205, particularly for bad knees. The compromise in comfort though is overall size and pack-ability.

The Visa Potty 248 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 248 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 248 is Easy To Clean

  • Detachable spout for discharge
  • Piston pump dual direction rinse
  • Leak proof and odor free seal

Specs for the Visa Potty 248

It actually WORKS!
 
Review Date: July 13, 2006

The person who designed this used their head. They kept it simple; no bells and whistles just a practical toilet that works perfectly, doesn't leak and is easy to empty and clean
The Best
 
Review Date: March 20, 2007
Reviewer: Conrad A. Gutraj, Grayslake, IL USA
We bought this one to replace a another brand. This was "head and shoulders" above that one in terms of ease of use and features that the whole family appreciated. We used ours for camping in our RV and once in an emergency when our home system went down.
Well designed and easy to maintain.
 
Review Date: July 24, 2007
Reviewer: W. Ward, Kansas, USA
T am very pleased with this product. I pack it in with a lot of other gear and I think it might be a little too lightweight, but once it has water in it the lightness is appreciated. Also, the disposal pipe attachment to the bottom could be a little more secure. However, overall a very good product at a fair price.

Our family was quite pleased with the Sanitation Equipment Visa 248 Deluxe Portable Toilet. The price was/is right and it was very easy to install. I would definately recommend it, if you need this product.
Great for camping

Reviewer: Heather, Washington, CT
So far no problems we used it alot this summer while we were camping. Especially my 5 year old daughter, so much easier than walking to the bathrooms during the night. It seemed easy enough to clean(left that up to my hubby)no major complaints from him.
Right size, easy to clean
 
Review Date: July 9, 2009
Reviewer: C. Rehn, Utah
We bought this porta potty for use on our boat. However, my husband and a friend went camping last week and were quite impressed. Our friend is quite large and he was very pleased with the durability and 'comfort' of the seat. I'm happy with the flushing and easy to attach cleaning spout. I would recommend this to anyone with a need for one.

Reviewer: David Minich, Arizona
We bought this one to replace an older one. We needed more capacity.
We got this one and it was missing a cap. We talked with the seller and they got the missing part right out. Works fine, holds a lot and the pump mechanism seems to be much better than the smaller older competetors brand. Time will tell!

Hassock Portable Toilet

Product Description
The Hassock Portable Toilet by Reliance adds a few useful “features” to the basic bucket–style camping toilet like the less expensive popular Luggable Loo series.

The first of which is the addition of a removable inner bucket liner that makes waste disposal and cleaning quick and easy. When the time comes to empty, simply lift the inner bucket out and dump in a conventional toilet or approved waste disposal station.

The second “feature” is the addition of an inner splash guard that fits between the bucket and the seat to prevent splashing when in transit. This is important because the Hassock portable toilet is a self contained unit, meaning the bucket, seat, lid, and even toilet paper all seal-up into 1 unit. The way it is designed, the splash guard prevents the bucket’s contents (waste water) from splashing over the seat. It also provides a convenient place to securely store a roll of camping toilet paper.

The Reliance Hassock Portable toilet is a good option for convenience and budget. It is light weight and therefore easy to pack and transport. It works well for outdoor camping, boating, and even RV’s.

The Hassock can be used as is but also works extremely well with disposable plastic liners like Wag Bags for a virtually no-mess hassle free experience.

The one negative to be aware of is its height. At only 15 inches high it can be uncomfortable for someone with bad knees.

Hassock Portable Toilet Dimensions

  • Weight: 5.00 Pounds
  • Length: 15.13 Inches
  • Width: 15.13 Inches
  • Height: 15.00 Inches

Product Details
  • Hassock portable lightweight self-contained toilet.
  • Features contoured seat for "at-home" comfort.
  • Removable inner bucket for quick and easy disposal of waste.
  • Inner splash cover/toilet paper holder.
  • Ideal for camping and boating.

6210 5-Gallon Portable Toilet

Product Description
The Century 6210 5-Gallon Portable Toilet will let you flush away your worries in the middle of nowhere. It is a great safe and sanitary solution for a portable flush camping toilet that also performs well for RV’s, boats, or pretty much anywhere that facilities are either, unavailable or worse yet, unusable. With the built-in flushing capability the convenience of a traditional home toilet can be brought with you to even the most primitive of camp sites.

This popular portable flush toilet incorporates durable high density waste water and fresh water holding tanks that are made of one piece, heavy duty, leak-proof, construction. A double sealed drain valve is incorporated that protects against leakage and unattractive odors. Waste remains in the sealed, but conveniently detachable, holding tank until you are ready to empty it.

The 6210 5-Gallon Portable Toilet is very similar to the Century 6205 but with twice the holding tank capacity which makes it a better choice for longer stays or larger groups. It flushes with clean water and is completely self–contained. Integrated carrying handles make transport a breeze and the attractive (if you can say that about a toilet) matte finish will conceal any potential scratches the Century 6210 5 Gallon portable toilet incurs through the rigors of camping and travel. The holding tanks are held together with corrosion resistant heavy duty latches.

Product Details
  • Self-contained portable toilet for camp site, boat, RV, or other recreation
  • Sturdy full-size seat/lid; lushes like residential toilet; matte finish conceals scratches
  • 2.6-gallon freshwater holding tank and 5-gallon waste-water holding tank
  • One-piece, leak-proof tanks made of high-density polyethylene
  • Shipped fully assembled; 14.5" high x 15.5" wide x 16.5" deep; weighs 12.5 lbs

Easy Operation
 
Review Date: May 21, 2009
Reviewer: Karen Scruggs, McCormick SC, USA
I recently purchased this portable toilet for a trip to bike week. We have an enclosed trailer that we added a bath and kitchen too. Instead of adding a holding tank we bought this toilet since we would only be going on weekend trips. I was so impressed with this product. It worked great for the weekend, never a problem with operation, and was easy to empty and clean. I would recommend this product for the weekend camper.
Excellent product at an excellent price.
 
Review Date: March 28, 2007
Reviewer: Bob, Lexington Park, MD
I am very pleased with our purchase of the Century 5 gallon portable toilet. We have found it to be an excellent quality product. I would not hesitate purchase this product again. The low Amazon price made it an excellent purchase.
Functional, simple, useful.
 
Review Date: May 3, 2007
Reviewer: Alexander Komarov,
The good:

- It works as advertised
- Does not leak, unless it tips over during transport (the fresh water tank leaks)
- Seems solid in body, seals and connections, except the cover (don't stand on it).

The not as good:
- Flushing tube is not too powerful, perhaps having multiple nozzles would have helped. It seems to only rinse a certain section of the bowl.
- It leaks when it tips over (which you should guard against), probably from the bellows or rinse tube (it leaks clean water only)
- It is prone to tipping over when it only has fresh water in it (becomes top-heavy). The smaller model probably would be more stable.
- It lacks a pressure-relief valve which some more expensive toilets have. When it comes time to empty the waste tank, one must be rather careful when opening it as internal pressure build-up can cause it to splash initially, probably in your face. Alternatively, relieve pressure with the cover down, then remove the tank.


I have not tried any chemicals in it yet (short trips).
