Test report from 18.06.2018
Where did the camping toilet test take place?
„During the Whitsun vacations on a campsite in Hesse.“
How long was the camping toilet in use?
„5 days. However, it is to be used stationary in a tent at a campsite in France on the Atlantic Ocean, where we vacation every year.“
How was the handling of the camping toilet in the test?
„Similar to the comfort of a stationary toilet, especially at night: it is fixed and can not be knocked over. It is easy to move in tent operation. However, it should not be used as a seat when closed.“
Did you find the seat height comfortable?
„ The height is an acceptable compromise. You sit stably. The necessary business can be done without physical contortions.“
Which camping toilet has been used so far?
„In the tent always only one bucket.“
How well can the camping toilet be transported?
„The toilet can be completely disassembled for transport in the car, the resulting cavities are good stowage for all the small stuff.“
How do you feel about the nature of this toilet?
„The color is kept subtle. Without the paper roll, it has already been "marveled at" as a specially designed cooler.“
Did you use chemical additives?
„Not yet. The little kids want to try cat litter, though. Has not been done yet. However, we will test it before the start of the vacation.“
How well was the disposal managed?
„The toilet bucket is high gloss, so that hardly anything sticks. The bucket has a lid and everything can be transported safely and inconspicuously, although of course everyone on the campsite knows what is being transported.“
Would you recommend this camping toilet to others?
„Yes! It has proven itself in practice.“
How do you judge the price-performance ratio of the camping toilet?
„The price is a bit high for a pure plastic item, but since the utility factor is essential here, the price is accepted.“
Overall impression:
„The toilet has proven itself: It is hygienic, easy to clean, stable, you have a secure seat and it is inconspicuous in appearance.“

„The elevated seating position can be described as good.“

„With small children, the toilet is highly recommended, especially at night in the tent.“

„Problem-free in the residual waste. Clean, easy and odorless emptying.“
Would you recommend this camping toilet to others?
„Yes, highly recommended as an emergency toilet when camping especially with children or for the garden.“
How do you judge the price-performance ratio of the camping toilet?
„Very good value for money, a chemical toilet costs more in the long run.“
Overall impression:
„For camping vacations in a tent, the camping toilet is a clever thing, especially with children who often do not make it to the sanitary facilities
With the bags and small animal litter emptying and cleaning was also an odor-free and clean affair.
To point out again, however, is the size of the camping toilet, it already takes up quite a bit of space in a car that is already packed with vacation luggage anyway. :-)
All in all, for our children camping with their 3-year-old daughter in the tent, a good purchase. Otherwise, it is genuzt with us in the garden, if it must go quickly.“

Did you find the seat height comfortable?
„I built a small prodest for myself and raised the toilet about 10 cm. Since it is very light, I attached a frame with wooden slats for a firm stand on the pedestal. So it can not slip.“
Which camping toilet has been used so far?
„A chemical toilet with chemical additives.“

„The toilet paper holder is a bit impractical and too labiel. Otherwise, I find the toilet very good.“
