Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

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.
