That is exactly the best time to watch these kinds of videos. I know I did when I was in college. Made me motivated, scram, priotize, and simplify some things. I find it relaxing for the brain too.
I am in the process of buying a motorhome ( not the first one we own) and I was reading in the description a "dry flush toilet" and you are the first one to explain this to me. 30 years ago I became aware of how much one can do for the environment by simply recycling. I read a few books from environmentalist leaders and I became a master recycler. Later I realized that as we are recycling on one end someone is making the same product behind us. We just have to walk in any supermarket isle to realize how much garbage we are producing by participating in buying all of that. And not all the world has good recycling facilities, and all of that is sold all over the world. We have had the privilege to have traveled to many countries. The same laundry and toiletries you buy in the USA you see them all over the Earth. I go to supermarkets when we travel to see what people use for every day life and to see prices to understand how much they spend in those items. Some people in developed countries refuse to participate and recycle because "they don't have time". 9 Million tooth paste tubes get thrown into the landfill sites yearly. They are not recyclable and it would take 500 years to break down. I can go on and on but if you think about it, what we are doing as a human race is incredibly damaging... and stupid for our planet and the future of our children and their children... I use now laundry strips ( I always used powdered detergent like my mother did), shampoo bars for my hair and it is fantastic and shoulder length, tooth powder which I keep in a little glass refillable jar, wool drying balls for when I rarely use the dryer ( I hang my clothes in a special device I saw in Europe that with a rope and pullies I lift to the highest part of a high ceiling room, I live in Canada so there is not much sun here yet with ingenuity I conserve energy), they replace fabric softener which I never used but they also speed up the drying process and fluff fabric. And with those and many other changes I cut down in my recyclable needs...to leave a cleaner Earth for my grandchildren and yours. The dry flush toilet is an idea, but a terrible idea for the environment. It just creates more garbage in a very unsanitary way. Human defecation should not go to the landfill sites. It should go into the sewage plants. The idea that is "very sanitary" is such a mistake...I find that the "canister" is a total disregard for the environment, creating garbage for no real reason. And how incredibly embarrassing it would be for ME to take a smelly large bag full of human defecation into "the garbage". Whose garbage? A camp site? Where one wants to be and enjoy nature? To leave that in the common garbage bins? What if something pierces the bag and the smell comes out upsetting the area? The garbage bins in the street of a nice passing town? And leaving that unrecyclable material in their landfill site? Why? No no my friend...I will make sure that any motorhome we buy DOES NOT have a DRY FLUSH TOILET. No way! I will use the old style water flushing toilet and black holding tank. Under no circumstances I am participating in that absolutely irresponsible practice of putting human feces and urine wrapped in environmentally unfriendly shinny-metal-looking plastic with a hard plastic canister and a black nylon bag into other's landfill sites. I am of the opinion that those dry flushing toilets should be outlawed. We travel around the sun in the same planet, what we do affects all its inhabitants. Knowledge is power. Now you know THAT is a very bad idea for our planet. Talk to the owner of the company and ask him to invent and manufacture an environmentally friendly toilet for all his grandchildren's future, and your children and grandchildren...and everyone's. He is a veteran so he is old enough to be a grandfather. Maybe he didn't think on the garbage he is creating....We all think on that for our daily use items and even the rarely or seldom used items. My garbage contribution is about one 80 L bin every 6 months. I know most households throw that much once a week. If I can do it everybody can.

Yeah, for people who are in denial that we humans poop and pee many times a day. All of us. Heck, the top crust of the whole earth is just waste at some stage in decomposition, and we dig in it and make tunnels.
Are you really sure that when you shit you wont smell yourself??! and if you cant dispose it at time or if its hot, the smell gonna come back in your face as an elastic. Its almost shit a bomb ^^
Wow it’s quick n easy to change out but it’s expensive for new set up of black ring.. I agree the black ring should be reusable and buying the bags only would cut cost down
Having two babies and thousands of diaper changes... we had the "diaper genie" for this. That thing was awesome! Same concept here but not as good and the cartridges for the Laveo are expensive!!! Also, the Laveo does not twist enough...more twisting needed!! I know from my experience with the Diaper Genie ;)
I'm thinking you could use a Diaper Genie as a toilet! A little less waste for sure. I just hate that it takes so much stuff, but I do like this concept. I just don't like dealing with poop!
I got even a better idea: instead of replacing toilet parts after each incident, you should just throw away the RV each time. That might be just slightly bigger cost, but it's more convenient - and you don't even need to flush.
Nice. Add an extra height platform for older folks with bad knees to make it easy to use without stressing the joints. I see the new model supports up to 500 pounds! I don't know if that was always the case. I first heard about these on an RV / Van Life video. Certainly nice to have in case of an emergency in any home.
Thank you Very Much for Your Demonstration it was Very Informative I understand the toilet is Expensive and the Refills are a little Expensive but when you're out there on the road This would really come in handy you don't have to look for a place to dump it. And when you say there is a minimal of smell for small a confined space it's a good product
Found this while looking for a toilet for a tiny house. It's a great concept but, as other comments mention, not environmentally friendly. I'll probably spring for the composting toilet instead, but I really hope they make an environmentally friendly version of the dry flush.
It's a nice looking toilet and I was considering it. But now, seeing how it works, $600+ for the unit and $1.05 every time you flush - you're literally flushing money down the toilet. A nice porta pot with cat litter would save hundreds every year.
Juno 2019 are you numb to world. Straws should be banned, since people didn’t start to limit their use. Turtles and others sea animals don’t like our straws. Go volunteer and try to remove one from a sea turtle.
@@BuckleBunny don't be an idiot! First off, straws are approximately zero percent of the plastic waste in the ocean. Second off, the USA contributes approximately zero percent of the plastic waste in the ocean. It comes almost entirely from SE Asia. So don't be an idiot!
Idk why I'm watching this lol but to the folks concerned with eco waste, this toilet is not a regular use everyday toilet lol. It's for recreational use toilet meaning you'd probably only use it for a few trips a year and not use that many bags. It's pretty cool!
Havine nice time can be with no problems for the next ones ! For small spaces as boats i like this one ruclips.net/video/0efTfdB3FHM/видео.html Why to mix fertility with expensive plastic? There are plenty of ways to transform this "waste" into garden gold why peoples thanks God for the food they eat, then they transform fertility into pollution? No water but electricity and you have to buy bags, i would prefer not to shit than to use this Counter intuitive gadget
Because the government requires us to put it in a plastic bag before disposing. Also, human waste is not suggested for use in the production of food for humans.
This toilet is almost $1,000 and almost $2 a flush! It's clever twisting the continuous bag to seal. I'm sure there is a way to make a DIY bucket inside a bucket that you manually twist the inner bucket when done to do the same thing to a common trash bag. Take care
@@allthingsharbor yes isn’t ill how we don’t fully inform the public about a product’s pros and cons so they can make an informed decision for their situation? I mean too many of us are following fear and greed and keeping real love from our world. Only when directly asked so we discuss some of the cons…. We are conning ourselves into a hellish earth
@@allthingsharbor well let’s see with your math illogic, if we have to spend $1k for just one part on the RV…with all its many parts adds up to a multi million dollar RV
Amazing practical invention 👏🏻 however.....too much non biodegradable waste 🙁 like many have already mentioned, an eco friendly version would be easier to market.
US/Canada EPA regulations both state that human fouling/the disposal and/or treatment of human waste (separate from infant waste 0-3 years) should be treated as clinical waste and not disposed with general or recyclable household or commercial waste management systems or services.
Bought one, used it and it works good for the first 8-10 flushes. But, when you go to take the filled liner out of it to dispose of it, it is very heavy and your poop piles up in the center and it can eventually make contact with your bottom. I would recommend the manufacturer make smaller liners to handle only 6-8 flushes.
Some people are saying it’s 2 dollars per flush. Yikes. It looked like a crazy cool idea and invention but the cost alone is a no go, literally 😂. Also, if you are a van-lifer, you would have to have a ton of these since I doubt these are easily available. Otherwise you’d need to order often and find a place you can have them delivered to.
it needs cheap biodegradable bags and a section up front that is for urine only, that goes into a removable tank, then it would be a GREAT toilet for van life, small trailers, and even some boats.
Polluting the Earth with unnecessary foil & plastic is selfish and ALWAYS unnecessarily harmful to our environment, no matter how "occasionally" it is used! 🤮😡
they finally drop their prices to $800 YES!!!! booked mark their company website. for just incase if I decided to live in a rural area or SRO (Single Room Occupants) Rooms :) don't have to wait to use the bathroom.
I think this toilet serves an important need. I'm sure they are working on the plastic issue. Incinerating toilets are very expensive and composting toilets have additional efforts that aren't always practical - especially when interfacing with new users. In wild locations I think this economically solves issues for me.
They are not cheap, but as I said not really for everyday use. Rather emergency or activities like ice fishing. Refills here goicefish.com/dry-flush-refill-pack-set-of-3/
Wait till the EPA gets wind of this on the disposal of these bags. I will take a holding tank over this any day. Too much trouble and probably somewhat costly. Very nice video. The demonstration was well done.
This would be great to use sparingly when other options are not available. Pretty pricey and lots of trash to use for all day/every day use. Can the same cartridge sit with waste for any undetermined amount of time? Or would it start to break down and cause unpleasant effects, shall we say?
nice idea but that's a pretty big bag of waste to try and fit into a rest area garbage bin. i am also guessing you have to wait till all 15 bags are full before disposing of everything? can't just use once a month and have poop in a bag in your van until the other slots are filled
yeah I see a flaw to this...depending if u poop more or pee more, it will drastically affect the uses per refill. u might poop and use a bunch of toilet paper....all of a sudden ur toilet bucket is full but u still have unspent silver canister. or u pee a lot using a lot of the silver canister but the bucket is not full at all. if these replacements are pricy it will be troublesome if the bucket gets full before u run out of silver canister. I still think this is an amazing product, much much better than a compost toilet which is just gross when u think about emptying the thing.
Piss outside. This is a good invention if needed on sparingly bases. If camping at a campground u wouldn't need it. But u do have a point .. I think it is neat idea. If it were to hold more and idealistically be able to decompose a a making in the works. But def a brainstorm.
I found reviews on Amazon for this pricey option, only 1 out of 5 recommended. Apparently also have a long term reliability issue. Too bad, as I was interested. Ironically the price has increased steadily, (they were originally about $450) I assume because of the tiny home movement.
I just bought a Laveo toilet. So far I love it! They had a prior problem with an eleçtronic board that has been resolved. I bought one to act as a second bathroom in my house. I put it in a master bedroom closet with a curtain. It will receive occasional use and save me thousands and thousands of dollars installing a second bathroom. I would have had to drill through a concrete foundation to run plumbing to the opposite side of my house. It wasn't going to happen. Now there is an emergency respite if the other bathroom is tied up.
Creo que contamina mucho y es caro. Mucha tecnología. Se necesita un asiento pones una bolsa, esas de aluminio están bien, se usa y la sacas y cierras y amarras. Usas menos deshecha les y contamina menos. Aunque me parece que la finalidad de este inodoro no es evitar la contaminación sino sólo solucionar con tecnología que no hay una instalación con agua 🤷♀️
Wherever you shit, its gonna smell... maybe not outiside whit the good wind side... but peoples ready to buy this plastic shitter, not ready for this... ruclips.net/video/0efTfdB3FHM/видео.html this one smells wood
Here is my toilet inside my van. I use a bucket and a pee bottle. I insert a plant based bio degradable bag inside the bucket. I add cat litter at the bottom and every time I do business (number 2), I cover it with cat litter. I re use the same bag at until it's full. Once the bag is full, i dig a hole and bury it. Everything is biodegradable so i am not worried about chemicals or waste. My bag is plant based and biodegradable, my cat litter is all natural and when I am out, i either add dried leaves or wood saw from work. And my poop is also biodegradable and good fertilizer once broken down. When I have to piss, i I usually do it outside and piss on a tree. Good fertilizer. If its ugly outside aka rain and so on, I piss in my emergency pee bottle. No waste at all. Everything at the end goes back to nature. Also, i am sure some will ask me what about the smell. Here is the thing. Because i keep solids away from liquids and so on, there are no moisture or liquid to attract bacterias which attracts in return produces the smell via gas. The cat liter also does an amazing job at keeping the smell from the bacterias from the poop. So far, I have been doing this and using this system for over three years. It took practice after few months. Learn from the cats. They know better.
Thank you very much for that idea. When I had cats I used to always use the sawdust pellet cat litter but as the wee and solids are separated I don't know if that would work for a composting toilet.
@@littlemisssunshine2931 you should try it. Usually I piss in a bottle and poop in the bucket filled with cat litter. I am guessing that if you change the litter from the bucket once in a while, you should be okay with it until you cover the urine well with the litter.
How long can you leave waste within the toilet if you only use it on weekends? Would you need to replace the cartridge every weekend even if you only used a couple flushes on the cartridge?
It's a fairly good concept/design, however, I can see a problem with the waste decomposing too fast in warm/hot environments, which is going to cause the bag to produce gas and expand to a point where leakage or bag breakage could create odor and/or a huge mess + this would also force the user to change out the mylar bag prematurely which would increase cost. That said, archeologists 1000s of yrs from now will wonder wth we were thinking/doing packing our waste into giant shiney plastic tubes ...lol... :'(
It is still better than what is available now. And I always look at these toilets as “for emergencies” only - when you are out in the middle of nowhere. Otherwise, there are gyms, restaurants, malls, stores where you can use the toilet.
The bags are dispensed FROM the ring...just like the plastic re-fill rings that dispense the continuous bags for diaper pails like the "diaper Genie", so unfortunately they can't be reused.
Can it be made with cheaper waste bag that cost $0.50 per flush ? Like some smell and water resistant polymer waste bags instead ? Well the unit is a one time off investment but the flushes is going to be a life time ...so it has to be for sure economical .... $0.50 per flush x 30 days, it's still affordable at $15 per month.
Not cost effective for the average person and/or family. And how would you store the used cartridge especially in the summertime where's there's no air conditioning. Wintertime is no problem - the bags waiting for the weekly garbage pickup can be kept outside unless you happen to live in Florida or Hawaii etc. Did you folks test the possible odor problem in different weather conditions?.
mike matt, that's exactly why I was even considering one of these! There have been a few occasions when our second toilet was out of commission and with 5 (sometimes 6) people in the house this would have come in handy!
It would be perfect anytime without the plastic rim! With that rim, I don't care how much I love the concept, I love our planet more than to EVER so willfully, thoughtlessly trash it up!
My bag isn't deflating after a flush? Also, does anyone know with the cartridges with multiple flushes if you can dispose of the waste before the entire cartridge has been used? It looks like they are connected; was kind of afraid to try and separate for fear of wasting the rest of the refill cartridge
Nice video demonstration. However, I can layer bags with kitty litter and the top bag in the "can" is used, knotted, and left in the can, the next person does the same. So I have a knotted bag in a bag in a bag, etc, each bag having a small amount of kitty litter. Hopefully the person that buys that toilet doesn't forget to disconnect the battery and take it home and charge it. I know I don't have regular plugins on my boat.
Replacement bags sell on their website for $76.99 for a 3-pack. That's at least $3.00 per flush I would think. So this toilet is for limited or emergency use?
Hi I'm going to disabled woman who needs a bathroom on her first floor but I really don't have the room to build one. So my question to you is can you use one of these downstairs put a divider around it and use it as a bathroom and how would you be able to plug up a 12 volt into the wall.

Found this while looking for a toilet for a tiny house. It's a great concept but, as other comments mention, not environmentally friendly. I'll probably spring for the composting toilet instead, but I really hope they make an environmentally friendly version of the dry flush.
ruclips.net/video/0efTfdB3FHM/видео.html this one is adapted for small area. and doesnt cost to can just shit when you need (how much times a year?!!)
You got to love when they cut the video in the middle of the procedure, makes it so honest!
Excellent presentation 👍🏻
I really wanna see how this toilet would handle my ibs disasters
One wrong morning and the plastic gone
It's a nice looking toilet and I was considering it. But now, seeing how it works, $600+ for the unit and $1.05 every time you flush - you're literally flushing money down the toilet. A nice porta pot with cat litter would save hundreds every year.
It does. I ha e been usi g a bucket with cat litter since three years. And even then, you could use dried leaves and wood shavings.
But it's the most clean, hygienic, cleaning and hassle free toilet unit. Seem like having a classic air flight toilet experience everyday.😁
Where it this legal to dump
the concept is good but OMG the WASTE!! Not for the environmentally concerned customers
@P S 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣LMAO
NAAAW Plastic bags are GREAT for the environment.
Filled it in one load.
They are working on a more environmentally friendly version.
Yes there is a lot or extra waste created here but very practical for subfreezing temperatures where other types of portapottys wouldn't work.
I could be on board for that. It's better than taking a full cassette to a public toilet.
Its a great idea, but the amount of rubbish it creates is enormous!
Linda K that’s my question. It would be nice if these materials break down over time.
Juno 2019 are you numb to world. Straws should be banned, since people didn’t start to limit their use. Turtles and others sea animals don’t like our straws. Go volunteer and try to remove one from a sea turtle.
@@BuckleBunny Or, have you ever had Turtle Soup? So good, and they aren't as difficult to de-shell and butcher as most people think. Try it sometime!
When I was a kid way back in the 60's, straws were made of paper. They worked fine...couldn't be reused but they were biodegradable.
@@BuckleBunny don't be an idiot! First off, straws are approximately zero percent of the plastic waste in the ocean. Second off, the USA contributes approximately zero percent of the plastic waste in the ocean. It comes almost entirely from SE Asia. So don't be an idiot!
Very cool and clean for campervan simple build ....A Brilliant Product of great innovation and invention.
Im getting a CDL and thinking of getting one to have in my rig for the times I am limited on facilitiew
I like the Dry flush
Idk why I'm watching this lol but to the folks concerned with eco waste, this toilet is not a regular use everyday toilet lol. It's for recreational use toilet meaning you'd probably only use it for a few trips a year and not use that many bags. It's pretty cool!
Havine nice time can be with no problems for the next ones ! For small spaces as boats i like this one ruclips.net/video/0efTfdB3FHM/видео.html
Why to mix fertility with expensive plastic? There are plenty of ways to transform this "waste" into garden gold why peoples thanks God for the food they eat, then they transform fertility into pollution?
No water but electricity and you have to buy bags, i would prefer not to shit than to use this Counter intuitive gadget
So we are taking the most eco friendly compostable material available and putting it in plastic bags? :(((
On the website it says they're currently working on developing biodegradable bags.
Because the government requires us to put it in a plastic bag before disposing. Also, human waste is not suggested for use in the production of food for humans.
Very helpful. I like it.
This toilet is almost $1,000 and almost $2 a flush!
It's clever twisting the continuous bag to seal.
I'm sure there is a way to make a DIY bucket inside a bucket that you manually twist the inner bucket when done to do the same thing to a common trash bag.
Take care
True, it is pricey, but in a $150K or more RV, what's $1K ?
@@allthingsharbor yes isn’t ill how we don’t fully inform the public about a product’s pros and cons so they can make an informed decision for their situation?
I mean too many of us are following fear and greed and keeping real love from our world.
Only when directly asked so we discuss some of the cons….
We are conning ourselves into a hellish earth
AND to use compostible bags, NOT throw away that plastic ring after 3 goes AND NOT to add a further plastic tough bag for disposal!!...NOT impressed!!
Jim, good idea! I'm going to start fiddling around with that idea! And with compostable bags, yes.
@@allthingsharbor well let’s see with your math illogic, if we have to spend $1k for just one part on the RV…with all its many parts adds up to a multi million dollar RV
Amazing practical invention 👏🏻 however.....too much non biodegradable waste 🙁 like many have already mentioned, an eco friendly version would be easier to market.
My concerns also. Really want biodegradable !
This was written 4 years ago so maybe things have changed in that 4 years but bio degradable plastic is now available that is made from corn
US/Canada EPA regulations both state that human fouling/the disposal and/or treatment of human waste (separate from infant waste 0-3 years) should be treated as clinical waste and not disposed with general or recyclable household or commercial waste management systems or services.
Read m comment of today. I find this toilet disgusting!
Very informative and to the point, nice for a change, :)
That is genius, I want one. Looks easy to use and no water.
Unhygienic though
Bought one, used it and it works good for the first 8-10 flushes. But, when you go to take the filled liner out of it to dispose of it, it is very heavy and your poop piles up in the center and it can eventually make contact with your bottom. I would recommend the manufacturer make smaller liners to handle only 6-8 flushes.
I’d love to get this, BUT, I looked up the cost of those refills. It’ll cost about $1.50 to $2.00 per flush. Pretty pricey.
If you plan on getting one order it asap because it takes months to get it! They must be hand carved out of a solid piece of plastic or something...
Some people are saying it’s 2 dollars per flush. Yikes. It looked like a crazy cool idea and invention but the cost alone is a no go, literally 😂. Also, if you are a van-lifer, you would have to have a ton of these since I doubt these are easily available. Otherwise you’d need to order often and find a place you can have them delivered to.
it needs cheap biodegradable bags and a section up front that is for urine only, that goes into a removable tank, then it would be a GREAT toilet for van life, small trailers, and even some boats.
I would definitely use this in my rv
I know it was just a demonstration, but sticking your hand in their still made my gut flinch.
Its wasteful when frequently used. But not when used occasionally or rarely. I like this product.
@Ronda Witt This is wastless and fertilising at the end ruclips.net/video/0efTfdB3FHM/видео.html (its not my products)
Polluting the Earth with unnecessary foil & plastic is selfish and ALWAYS unnecessarily harmful to our environment, no matter how "occasionally" it is used! 🤮😡
@@batMelek i get your sentiment but for now, this seems like a good option
@@batMelek
You seem to be pretty judgmental. I have Parkinson’s and I can’t do the other solutions. What do you expect me to do?
Great job with the informative review! You showed everything in a simple and efficient manner.
Thanks Michael!
👍Terrific invention. To eliminate unpleasant odors, make more compost friendly, I’d probably add some baking soda, sawdust/wood shavings (animal bedding), Diatomaceous Earth combined with another composting agent, wood ash, coco coir (ground coconut husks), hemp stalks, ground corn cob, peat moss, coffee grounds or natural biodegradable sustainable clumping odor eliminating kitty litter.🤷🏻♀️
they finally drop their prices to $800 YES!!!! booked mark their company website. for just incase if I decided to live in a rural area or SRO (Single Room Occupants) Rooms :) don't have to wait to use the bathroom.
$1000 for the toilet, $30 per refill. Manufacturer says "up to" 17 flushes per cartridge, so that probably means a dozen. So about $3 now per flush.
I think this toilet serves an important need. I'm sure they are working on the plastic issue. Incinerating toilets are very expensive and composting toilets have additional efforts that aren't always practical - especially when interfacing with new users. In wild locations I think this economically solves issues for me.
Great idea in every way. The drawback is the ongoing price of accessories. Pretty expensive!!!!!
REALLY COOL👍 BUT, What is the cost for those replacement bags ? Or Do I want to know🙄⁉️
They are not cheap, but as I said not really for everyday use. Rather emergency or activities like ice fishing. Refills here goicefish.com/dry-flush-refill-pack-set-of-3/
76.99 dollars... no thanx
This is nice especially if you're outdoors but, are those bags eco friendly? You might wanna consider mother earth first before purchasing one.
Imagine waking up at 4 am just to hear that noise
Excellent demonstration, thanks a lot. 👍👍.
Wait till the EPA gets wind of this on the disposal of these bags. I will take a holding tank over this any day. Too much trouble and probably somewhat costly. Very nice video. The demonstration was well done.
This would be great to use sparingly when other options are not available. Pretty pricey and lots of trash to use for all day/every day use. Can the same cartridge sit with waste for any undetermined amount of time? Or would it start to break down and cause unpleasant effects, shall we say?
I will like to know if this toilet smells or how to keep smelling good
nice idea but that's a pretty big bag of waste to try and fit into a rest area garbage bin. i am also guessing you have to wait till all 15 bags are full before disposing of everything? can't just use once a month and have poop in a bag in your van until the other slots are filled
I'm wondering about the smell😮😮😮😮😮
yeah I see a flaw to this...depending if u poop more or pee more, it will drastically affect the uses per refill. u might poop and use a bunch of toilet paper....all of a sudden ur toilet bucket is full but u still have unspent silver canister. or u pee a lot using a lot of the silver canister but the bucket is not full at all. if these replacements are pricy it will be troublesome if the bucket gets full before u run out of silver canister. I still think this is an amazing product, much much better than a compost toilet which is just gross when u think about emptying the thing.
Thanks for the input Cross
Piss outside. This is a good invention if needed on sparingly bases. If camping at a campground u wouldn't need it. But u do have a point .. I think it is neat idea. If it were to hold more and idealistically be able to decompose a a making in the works. But def a brainstorm.
thank you for this great video!
I found reviews on Amazon for this pricey option, only 1 out of 5 recommended. Apparently also have a long term reliability issue. Too bad, as I was interested. Ironically the price has increased steadily, (they were originally about $450) I assume because of the tiny home movement.
Yes, unfortunately prices have gone up. We have very good luck with them, the unit is not for everyday use.
I just bought a Laveo toilet. So far I love it! They had a prior problem with an eleçtronic board that has been resolved. I bought one to act as a second bathroom in my house. I put it in a master bedroom closet with a curtain. It will receive occasional use and save me thousands and thousands of dollars installing a second bathroom. I would have had to drill through a concrete foundation to run plumbing to the opposite side of my house. It wasn't going to happen. Now there is an emergency respite if the other bathroom is tied up.
Creo que contamina mucho y es caro. Mucha tecnología. Se necesita un asiento pones una bolsa, esas de aluminio están bien, se usa y la sacas y cierras y amarras. Usas menos deshecha les y contamina menos. Aunque me parece que la finalidad de este inodoro no es evitar la contaminación sino sólo solucionar con tecnología que no hay una instalación con agua 🤷♀️
Great video thanks. How is the odor control?
How long can the poo stay inside there until you have to throw it away regardless if used all?
The poopoo?
The doodoo?
The voodoo that you do?
@@boatymcboatface392 A Sade fan I see!
Well done USofA, another great invention, I’m from Australia where do I buy one
Despite the cons , I’ll still get it for my camper van 😅
We tried using a Diaper Genie when my son was a baby, but stopped because of the smell. How is this model with odors?
Customers are saying they are pretty good. Still have to change them out.
Use 3 canisters last summer. I'm very impressed but would note not too fill with too much liquid.
Put s cap full of mouth wash in the bowl with the refuse.
Works very well with bed side toilets for my patients.
Wherever you shit, its gonna smell... maybe not outiside whit the good wind side... but peoples ready to buy this plastic shitter, not ready for this...
ruclips.net/video/0efTfdB3FHM/видео.html this one smells wood
Here is my toilet inside my van. I use a bucket and a pee bottle. I insert a plant based bio degradable bag inside the bucket. I add cat litter at the bottom and every time I do business (number 2), I cover it with cat litter. I re use the same bag at until it's full. Once the bag is full, i dig a hole and bury it. Everything is biodegradable so i am not worried about chemicals or waste. My bag is plant based and biodegradable, my cat litter is all natural and when I am out, i either add dried leaves or wood saw from work. And my poop is also biodegradable and good fertilizer once broken down. When I have to piss, i I usually do it outside and piss on a tree. Good fertilizer. If its ugly outside aka rain and so on, I piss in my emergency pee bottle. No waste at all. Everything at the end goes back to nature. Also, i am sure some will ask me what about the smell. Here is the thing. Because i keep solids away from liquids and so on, there are no moisture or liquid to attract bacterias which attracts in return produces the smell via gas. The cat liter also does an amazing job at keeping the smell from the bacterias from the poop. So far, I have been doing this and using this system for over three years. It took practice after few months. Learn from the cats. They know better.
Thank you very much for that idea. When I had cats I used to always use the sawdust pellet cat litter but as the wee and solids are separated I don't know if that would work for a composting toilet.
@@littlemisssunshine2931 you should try it. Usually I piss in a bottle and poop in the bucket filled with cat litter. I am guessing that if you change the litter from the bucket once in a while, you should be okay with it until you cover the urine well with the litter.
Very good idea no mess I will show the wife see if she approves
The best idea for the user I have seen so far
That’s the way to do it!
How long can you leave waste within the toilet if you only use it on weekends? Would you need to replace the cartridge every weekend even if you only used a couple flushes on the cartridge?
The toilet seals pretty well after every flush. I would not recommend weeks at a time.
It's a fairly good concept/design, however, I can see a problem with the waste decomposing too fast in warm/hot environments, which is going to cause the bag to produce gas and expand to a point where leakage or bag breakage could create odor and/or a huge mess + this would also force the user to change out the mylar bag prematurely which would increase cost. That said, archeologists 1000s of yrs from now will wonder wth we were thinking/doing packing our waste into giant shiney plastic tubes ...lol... :'(
It is still better than what is available now. And I always look at these toilets as “for emergencies” only - when you are out in the middle of nowhere. Otherwise, there are gyms, restaurants, malls, stores where you can use the toilet.
@@josephmontalba
Fair enough...!
Who cares what happens in a thousand years no one ever thinks about their shit at home do they? Silly comment for a silly person
I Love This Toilet I Used It A lot Of Time
Love the video straight to the point tutorial
Dude this things amazing
It would be an option if the bags were compostable
Carolyn Wansley the bags are compostable. Unfortunately that doesn't work in compacted landfills.
So true, Betty. People don't understand that trash/waste doesn't biodegrade in landfills.
If that black ring reusable i would get one and i would pay extra for that option.
Ring is part of the new refills
The bags are dispensed FROM the ring...just like the plastic re-fill rings that dispense the continuous bags for diaper pails like the "diaper Genie", so unfortunately they can't be reused.
Thank you. This would work well in a van.
Can it be made with cheaper waste bag that cost $0.50 per flush ? Like some smell and water resistant polymer waste bags instead ? Well the unit is a one time off investment but the flushes is going to be a life time ...so it has to be for sure economical .... $0.50 per flush x 30 days, it's still affordable at $15 per month.
Not cost effective for the average person and/or family. And how would you store the used cartridge especially in the summertime where's there's no air conditioning. Wintertime is no problem - the bags waiting for the weekly garbage pickup can be kept outside unless you happen to live in Florida or Hawaii etc. Did you folks test the possible odor problem in different weather conditions?.
Good question, We use them in the winter all the time. Not sure about really hot temps.
@@SmokeyHills Thank you for your honesty about the hot temps and looking forward to seeing the results should you decide to check out the heat factor.
I’m getting me one! Thank you 😊
GREAT REVIEW.
Looks like it would work great for emergencies !
mike matt, that's exactly why I was even considering one of these! There have been a few occasions when our second toilet was out of commission and with 5 (sometimes 6) people in the house this would have come in handy!
Too much waste! It is perfect for once in a great while.
It would be perfect anytime without the plastic rim! With that rim, I don't care how much I love the concept, I love our planet more than to EVER so willfully, thoughtlessly trash it up!
Thx for showing this entire unit’s system inside & out. Better informed now re: potential purchase
Glad it was helpful!
My bag isn't deflating after a flush? Also, does anyone know with the cartridges with multiple flushes if you can dispose of the waste before the entire cartridge has been used? It looks like they are connected; was kind of afraid to try and separate for fear of wasting the rest of the refill cartridge
Nice video demonstration. However, I can layer bags with kitty litter and the top bag in the "can" is used, knotted, and left in the can, the next person does the same. So I have a knotted bag in a bag in a bag, etc, each bag having a small amount of kitty litter.
Hopefully the person that buys that toilet doesn't forget to disconnect the battery and take it home and charge it. I know I don't have regular plugins on my boat.
Use a solar panel 12v dc to trickle charge it.
Replacement bags sell on their website for $76.99 for a 3-pack. That's at least $3.00 per flush I would think. So this toilet is for limited or emergency use?
Absolutely spot on. This is not a daily use toilet. It's great for kids when traveling. most people will use less than 3 bags a year depending on use.
@@SmokeyHills Are the bags, after they are full, burnable? How about a big campfire?
interesting product, BUT the cost of the refills is ridiculous.
Hi I'm going to disabled woman who needs a bathroom on her first floor but I really don't have the room to build one. So my question to you is can you use one of these downstairs put a divider around it and use it as a bathroom and how would you be able to plug up a 12 volt into the wall.
How and /or what do I need to install this system into my 2023 integra Launch?
