BOXIO Toilet - Portable Toilet, Camping Toilet, composting Toilet for car Camping, Boat or Camping. Mini Camping Toilet: 14,7" x 11,8" x 11,0" Made in Germany.

Having lived with this beast for a bit, I thought I would write a review and maybe clear up some of the questionable information I'm seeing on the web regarding the Boxio unit. As an intro, we're live-aboards. We have lived on one or another vessel for going on ten years now, and we love it. We have always used a composting toilet, a DIY one that I came up with, (instructions on an Amazon pamphlet Here: https://www.amazon.com/Floating-Empire-composting-toilet-book-ebook/dp/B07P8JLF1J/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=don+elwell&sr=8-3) Unfortunately, on our new boat the design wasn't working well. For various reasons, it was hard to dump and clean. We were looking for another option (that we could afford) and the Boxio unit came available on Amazon, so we thought we'd give it a shot. Construction: The unit is small, compact, and quite stoutly built. Think (if you're an American) milk carton construction. The urine diverter is similarly solid, rather thicker plastic than I'd be led to expect. The internal containers for waste and urine are likewise molded plastic and are adequately solid. Assembly: is pretty simple. The unit came well packed, and all that is needed to assemble it is to screw in four post-and-screw assemblies on the four courners (a hex wrench and washer for use as a flat blade is provided) and to use an included cord to lace on the lid as a hinge. I had initially some questions about the strength of these little posts, but once installed, they seem quite solid. Use: The urine container keeps all odors away from your living quarters. We were at first concerned about the size, but the thing is obviously larger than it appears. We wind up dumping it on a daily basis, but it's usually only about half full. The solid waste container uses biodegradable liners (as an option. It would, of course, work fine without.) Dumping the waste us a matter of gathering up the sides of the little bag and twisting it to close. Very, very effective. The hemp biomass (provided with this kit) works well and can be used sparingly. We have, for years, used wood stove pellets as biomass (they're cheap and tidy) and have not attempted to use those in this particular application, but I see no reason why they, or coir, or sawdust wouldn't work just as well. The lid does an admirable job of keeping smells contained and flies out of the unit. I like that it fits snugly. Things we like: No odor at all, easy empty, compact design that simply blends into the environment when not in use. Things we dont particularly like: It's really low. We ordered the raised base, which should ameliorate that, but talk about a squatti potti. . .on the other hand it would fit easily on a small boat or in a cabin or van. There's a little detent in the seat/urine diverter at the front which is apparently intended to facilitate opening it, but there's really no way to get traction with it. I still wind up sticking my fingers where I'd rather not to open and dump the thing. As many have pointed out, the only way to empty the urine container is to unscrew the seal in the center and dump it out. While it has a handy carrying handle, the handle is in the way of the urine when you turn it over to dump it, and it's very nearly impossible to get every last drop of the pee out of the bottle. A side drain (and some folks have drilled one) on the top would fix this, or moving the handle to the edge. On the whole, though: This is a nice, compact, well thought out alternative to either a bucket or to the $1000 composting toilets available on the market. We're happy we bought it and it is, at least so far, working well for us. Don aboard the shantyboat "Dragonfly".

My family laughed at me when I bought a Boxio toilet system, but nobody's laughing anymore. It's lightweight and compact, but big enough for the largest member of our family. The sawdust is easy to use and really does cover up the fecal smells! It was easy to assemble (I'm not very strong or clever with these things), and the wide opening to the urine bottle is easy to clean. I bought this because Hurricane Martin in Florida left my daughter without sewage for over a week; I wanted to be prepared. And then St. Louis got hit by two tornadoes, and we were without electricity for over a week. It might seem silly to buy camping gear for urban life, but I'm glad I made the investment!!

I was looking for an affordable composting toilet for van camping and this fits the bill. Made well, sturdy, and the price is at least half of other composting toilets I was looking at. It hasa good sized capacity for 1 person. The Boxio is very compact size so it fits well in my van conversion. Why a half star off? My only complaint is that the toilet seat is really narrow and long. I am 5'3" and 130 lbs,, the Boxio toilet seat is very uncomfortable to sit on compared to the bucket toilet seat I am replacing it with that has a toilet seat similar to home toilets. When sitting on it, I am also sitting on the skinny edges of box frame that makes it very uncomfortable.

So, I live off the grid and use this full-time. I have to say I am very disappointed with the design. - It is killer on the knees to get up and down without the extension. - It arrived without one of the pegs to hold the toilet seat up, so mine is a little off balance. - The damn toilet seat sticks to your butt, so every time you stand up, it comes for a ride with you. As a woman, things aren't quite as compartmentalized as they need to be. Urine will run backward, so the composting section is always wet, and if it isn't positioned just so, it will drip into the main container. - If you aren't positioned back far enough, then you are going to be cleaning out the front compartment of poop. It can take a little practice to find the sweet spot. - The drain for urine doesn't sit inside the collection bin, so if it is slightly off-center, you will be cleaning the entire unit. - The design of the urine collection container makes it hard to empty completely and very difficult to clean. - I find it messy and constantly end up with urine all over my hands when I have to empty the container. There are a few positives: - It does mostly separate your waste as long as you and the containers are positioned exactly so. - Both containers hold a significant amount. - The box and lid are of very sturdy plastic and can easily be cleaned. (Can't say this for either of the collection containers)

I bought this because it was 1/4 the price of the high end composting toilets and wanted something better than the $20 seat that fits on a 5 gal bucket, but it looks like I might be stuck using a bucket anyways because this is terrible. It's not worth close to $20 let alone the $250 they sell it for. Everything is extremely flimsy and uses the cheapest materials. It's at most half the height of a low toilet so you're essentially squatting and the "seat" is also about half the width of a normal seat which means you can't really sit on it. Additionally, the "seat" sits on 4 metal pegs that you have to put in yourself - they are similar to the pegs in adjustable wooden shelves except they screw in. I don't trust the pegs to not rip out of the flimsy plastic they are attached to and I don't trust the seat to not crack and break on the mounting points as well. All in all, totally regret the purchase.

Fijn compost toilet. Urine bak is ok voor 1 nacht daarna echt legen. Hennep gedeelte na ja. Neemt sleclht vocht op. Voornamelijk nacht plas toilet.

Love this, fitted perfect in my microcamper. Being small it will tilt if you're a side wiper. The separator section could do with a better groove/ handle/ button to lift it up with. The wee bottle smelled a little after using a few times overnight but a bit of vinegar in the bottle sorted that. The poo tub didn't smell at all. Overall I like it, but it is expensive. I wish the sink set-up wasn't so very expensive.

Soy mujer y al principio tenía muchas dudas. Pero realmente esta opción nos ha sorprendido muchísimo por su comodidad y practicidad. Es de momento la mejor opción que hemos tenido en 10 años de fuego camper. Solo tiene una pequeña pega y es que para vaciar el espacio de los líquidos a veces es difícil ya que al tener el tapón en el centro no se vacía con facilidad pero pese a esto merece la pena.

Compact enough to fit under my bed in my camper, nice and solid too, I am nearly 17st and it worked for me 😊
