Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This is my first Porta Potti experience and I am happy I got it! My wife is half way through her pregnancy and it saved her many dark night trips to the public bathroom while camping. This was her second experience with a porta potti and said that this one is the "Gold Standard" of porta pottis. Notes: * Based on other peoples reviews, its possible the frustrated ones didn't read the manual fully. The manual is your friend! * It comes with a small supply of Deodorant/Waste Digestion (enough for 4 complete 5-gallon uses/refills) * The waste cap also doubles as a measuring cup to use for measuring the waste dissolver liquid. * The "Automatic Flush" feature only rinses out the tank, it doesn't open the valve to drop the waste into the holding tank. * To go pee, Close seat, Open waste valve, press rinse button. If doing number 2, press the rinse button once or twice to fill the bowl with a little water, this will help reduce the solids from leaving streaks in the bowl. * Recommend dumping waste in a public outhouse vs at home. This will help reduce possible splash-back in the toilet at home. Pros: * Comes with everything in the box (Except water and toilet paper). It includes batteries, measuring cup, waste digestion/deodorant liquid, toilet paper holder. * Standard toilet height making it feel like one is at home * Cleanup is really straight forward * Comes with a built-in toilet paper holder (works with Charmin "double rolls", but not "mega" rolls * Battery operated water rinse feature - very quiet and effective. * Works great for 5' or 6"3" people Cons: * Unlike a regular toilet, the sitting stance for a tall person is a little awkward since one cannot tuck their feet under the toilet. That being said, the height helps reduce that awkwardness considerably from smaller porta potties. * The "automatic flush" feature should have been called "automatic rinse" since you still have to manually open the waste valve. Conclusion: *Great toilet if you are willing to spend some good money for the "gold standard" of porta potties. Your pregnant wife will love you especially while camping, or even if you have a house and the regular toilet is awkwardly located on the other side of the house. This was purchased with my own money, no discounts other that Amazons decent prices and prime shipping.
