Reliance Hassock Toilet - The picture on the website is incorrect. Purchased this portable toilet five months ago and it has served me well. This toilet looks like a round ice chest and has a seperate bucket that drops into. It has a plastic toilet seat the fits fairly well over the top along with a flat piece that goes over the seat that holds the toilet paper. Along with the above it has a well fitting lid that covers all the above and keeps the smells inside. This was one of the attractions. First I didn't want people to walk into my room and see a porta potty, secondly with the lid there is no smells (disinfectant or otherwise). I moved into a detached room at my elderly parents house and there is no built in bathroom for those midnight emergencies. Instead of having to treak outside, unlock the door, possibly wake the folks up etc, this toilet serves its purpose. I use Lysol 4 in 1 as a neutralizer and it works well. Other products were too strong and the toilet product is too expensive unless you are using occasionally. When cleaning you just take off the lid, lift up the plastic seat and pull the very sturdy bucket out, take it to the toilet and clean. I can't image using this on a camping trip if you were hiking and had to carry it around. It would splash around inside but if you are staying at a camp site and need a porta potty for those midnight urges it will definitely suit your purposes. Check other websites for a picture.
