Practical, sturdy and does what it's supposed to. May 16, 2010 Michael F. Herrmann (Albuquerque, New Mexico) 14 out of 14 found this review helpful
As a nomad in a mini-van/rv, I often find myself (How did I get HERE?!) in places sans facilities. The Reliance has been invaluable in those instances. After six months I have yet to find fault. I'm a big guy, 230 pds, and it hasn't whimpered once. I use kitchen garbage bags and zip-locks instead of those recommended and (so far) everything has "come out just fine."
Loved it!!! July 9, 2010 imJeff 4 out of 4 found this review helpful
My wife & I purchased the Reliance rather than the more expensive PETT and just loved it.
Folds up neat & compact, the bags are a no-mess solution - just fold in, zip shut, and dump in the trash can. Way neater than messing with any liquids or dump stations.
We went camping and set it up at night inside our Pop-Up camper - it held up great under my weight (5'9" male, 195lbs).
Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a Porta Potty solution for camping or traveling.
Sturdy and seems to be fit to do the job March 25, 2010 ETAV8R (Orange County, CA) 8 out of 8 found this review helpful
Although I haven't used this in the wilds yet I set it up at home and it seems very sturdy and a better value than the much more expensive PETT Toilet.
So I did use this recently on a camping trip and it performed great. The one bag included worked well too. I highly recommend this product as it will save substantially over the PETT.
Sturdy enough for those weighing well over 200 pounds but not for those who want or need privacy tent or wall July 21, 2010 K. Corn (Indianapolis,, IN United States) 6 out of 6 found this review helpful
The pros:
A friend has this one and notes that it has survived many camping trips to remote spots. In a remote spot, privacy would not be a concern. We found it to be very, very sturdy. It does indeed fold down to a rather compact size, considering that this is a toilet seat with legs (when unfolded). It isn't going to become extremely small and it isn't extremely light, although it is easily portable if you have the right transportation. The seat feels similar to any toilet seat.
It can hold up to 300 pounds. We tested it with a person weighing about 260 pounds (several times) and there was no problem. It can be used with regular trash bags, although the ones meant to go with it might work better. Great to have on hand in an emergency.
The potential downsides.:
If you are into eco-friendly solutions, you might consider using this without a bag and have a pit to cover the waste. Deer, bear and other creatures don't use toilets and the environment disposes of such waste naturally. Is a plastic bag a necessity, I wonder? However, in an emergency where burial isn't an option (stuck inside, used up water to flush down toilet even if you filled up bathtub beforehand, etc....you'd want a plastic bag to keep any waste out of the house. Of course, trash cans (outside) would start getting rather stinky. There are solutions where you add products which cover up the scent...so think about those beforehand.
Even at a campsite, putting the plastic bags in trash cans still leaves the plastic to be stuck in some landfill. So choose your options for disposal of any waste. Also, if you are at a campground with a port-a-potty on the premises, some have rules about disposing of waste in trashcans.
If you are into PRIVACY or have very picky kids who haven't yet gotten used to going to the bathroom outdoors, consider a privacy tent meant to enclose the toilet. This is not a necessity and there is an argument to be made for getting used to going to the bathroom without a privacy tent, especially in remote locations.
However, in a campground or other area where the outhouses or Port-a-potties are filthy or not maintained well, this could be an option. If the campground has plenty of people there, you might want a privacy tent...for their comfort as well as yours. Campers can be tolerant but some might not want to come across you when there are port-a-potties with walls available. They might not understand that you consider Fold-to-go toilets to be more convenient and hygienic. Unless there is another campground nearby, you probably aren't going to want to risk getting kicked out of a campground (and it is a pain to pack up and move).
We've had friends who have moved this potty into a tent for privacy so that could work in a pinch. Just make sure the bags are firmly held in place on the toilet.
Summing it all up: consider when or where you'd be likely to use this (camping, emergency, etc) and plan accordingly. This is a nice, sturdy item and all over reviewers have given it a 4 or 5 rating. There is a reason for that.
Replacement toilet July 10, 2010 Richard P. Willey (Sacramento/Singapore) 5 out of 5 found this review helpful
I just purchased the Reliance to replace a much older portable toilet I've been using for years. The older one worked, but had a tendency to scare off others as it was nothing more than a toilet seat that snapped onto a set of rather unstable cross legs. I have a big group campout coming up and decided to upgrade, besides, it was time to anyway. I got this home last night a set it up and am very impressed with it. It may be a tab low to the ground but it is by far superior to what I have been using. And I don't think this one is going to scare any fellow campers as it seems to be quite stable and has more of a `toilet feel' to it than the old one.
