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.

We purchased this porta potty which my family of 6 absolutley loves. It was a great asset to our tent when the kids were little and camping. No midnight trips to the bathroom not knowing who or what you would run into in the middle of the night. Plus you never had to leave your warm tent. It seems to me that public camp and park restrooms get pretty dirty as the day passes. We now have an RV, but we still take it along for "number 2" visits to the potty! My wife weighs about 325 pounds and it holds up great. It is also easy to clean! everything empties into a disposable bag which is tied up and thrown away. Bags are reasonably priced. We tried to get everyone to use the bag before we empty it.
While traveling to our destination we keep it handy in case someone needs to use the bathroom. Much cleaner than any public bathroom I have ever been in! It is somewhat low to the ground as the previous person stated, but it is no lower than the rest of the models...We tried all of them out at the store before purchasing this one. The models that are $100+ are a bit higher, but not worth that much money! |

We bought it on a Saturday afternoon in the middle of a toilet replacement project gone bad. It improved our tempers and our concentration! We now keep it in the greenhouse as our emergency toilet (4 people one, bathroom). Our neighbors also borrowed it when their sewer pipe got plugged.
Its really nice to have a lid and the TP right there. It also feels secure, unlike a toilet seat on legs that I've used. And its way more comfortable than the 5 gallon buckets I've used in the past. A good purchase. |
Great Buy

| I love this potty!!! We just built a cabin with indoor plumbing, but have it winterized right now. So we aren't able to use the faucets or the toilet. I was using the woods, until it was extremely cold to do so. I bought this portable toilet and it's working out great!! I put it in the bathroom closet, which has a heater and a light. I am using 2 garbage bags in it, and when we leave the cabin, I just take the bags out of the toilet, and bring it with me to dispose of at home. By using the plastic bags inside the potty, it's never smelly. It's lightweight, and plenty sturdy for me. Once we turn the water back on in the cabin, I'll just put this potty up in the storage area. It really doesn't look like a potty, so we can store it anywhere. I love it and highly recommend it!! Great price and great quality. In fact, I just saw the exact potty at Gander Mountain for $10. more. |
