Thetford 92820 Porta Potti 365 Portable Toilet, White-Grey, 414 x 383 x 427 mm

I am extremely pleased with this portable toilet. The quality is outstanding, with solid construction and excellent materials throughout. It is sturdy, comfortable, easy to clean, and completely leak-proof. The flushing system works very well, and the waste tank is easy to empty. Perfect for camping, caravans, road trips, or emergency use. It exceeded my expectations and offers excellent value for money. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable portable toilet. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Highly recommended!

Apart from having to clean it out, there's not much I don't like about this loo. Generally used as an emergency loo, I got this when there was talk of not being able to use campsite facilities during covid19 restrictions. I've taken this along every visit so far and had it inside a loo/shower tent and it fits perfectly with enough space for you to feel comfortable when sitting or standing. I've been using the all in one chemical liquid for both the flush and the lower tank. Generally, even with just using it for emergencies, I emptied and cleaned it every 3 to 4 days. From my research, I saw someone say a family of 4 used it for a weekend camping trip for everything and it still wasn't full by the end (sorry if you're reading this over breakfast). It's fairly easy to clean. Hot water is best and I used a bacterial soap to swill around in it too. Unfortunately, there's a fair few nooks and crannies to get in to but it's fairly good at not leaving anything tough to remove so that's a bonus. The seating position is a bit lower than your normal loo but nothing that causes a problem. Makes it easier for kids too! The flush is pump action. The flow covers the whole bowl area but can spill out unter the seat if you pump it too hard. There's a seat to lift for the lads if you can be bothered to put it up or back down after use. 😁 It clips closed and there's virtually no bad smells that come from it. To empty, you unclip the seat part and take the lower tank away. It can get heavy so I would suggest if you have a long walk to the chemical loo point, you take take it in the car if you can or get one of those folding crate trollys. Most chemical loo points have facilities to wash the loo out.

Exactly what we wanted, arrived on time

We use this when we go camping as our tent has a little side extension. It's predominantly for our children but also comes in handy for us when the youngest wakes for a feed in the night! beats undoing a million zips and traipsing across a field in the cold. Obviously if you're on your tod and can't leave the kids at night its perfect. We can use this toilet in the above capacity for about 4-5 days before it is full. really easy to set up with the chemicals and our 4yr old manages to use it, flush it and pull/seal the waste by herself so very easy to operate. Emptying it is a twist of a tube and removal of the cap then simply tip! no contact with waste, clean and easy. I will say it gets quite heavy when full so if you're not the strongest and the emptying station is a way off you might want to look at a little trolley or empty more often, also it is one of the larger models so takes up some serious boot space but as do they all really. All in all its a real perk to have and I'd highly recommend one if you have the space.

I purchased a chemical toilet as an experiment into alternative forms of toilets. When the product arrived, I must profess the name 'Porta Potti' invoked a sense of embarrassment, especially an adult saying 'don't mind me, I'm going to use my porta potti', as if I had regressed into using nappies. I now just refer to it as either portable toilet or chemical toilet, but one has to wonder what Thetford were thinking when they named it. Assembly was straight-forward, two large plastic parts that slotted into each other, followed by the various components of caps and other small annoying things to screw on. One wonders why the cassette's vent head cap isn't already attached seeing as it fits snugly, but I suspect it's to save labour costs, which at £89 pounds you'd expect to see some effort. The toilet didn't come with any useful instructions. Wordless diagrams pointing proprietary chemical products at seemingly random parts of the toilet with no explanations on quantities, maintenance, replacement part numbers, what is and is not acceptable to put down the toilet and more. It took some videos made by other people online before I understood basic operation. Again, for £89 you'd expect at least a leaflet outlining basic care procedures as well as any safety or hazard warnings. Sitting on the toilet for a prolonged period of time is particularly uncomfortable, as for some reason the seat rim has been narrowed nearer to the front, despite there being plenty of room on the largely square design to expand the seat itself outwards. Men might find the seat a bit of a tight squeeze when sitting down, and if the toilet has been recently 'flushed', might need to use toilet paper to soak up and remove the chemical flush water from the front inner rim (used to channel the flush water) where their 'barrel' might come to rest. One does not want to get chemical flush water on their 'barrel'. A small design oversight as it seems the chemical flush water doesn't drain away too quickly from that area. One common theme with chemical toilets is measurements and measuring tools seem to be suspiciously absent. The cassette *and* flush tank both oddly have no markers indicating of how many litres it can actually hold, which is necessary to know when measuring out the chemical to put in (some chemicals might say 'put 60ml for every 10 litres the waste tank can hold', for example) or how much water to add. Emptying the toilet is quite tricky, and it is not suitable for people who have trouble lifting heavy weights, have bad backs, or become easily nauseous at bad smells or unpleasant sights. The waste tank can hold at least 20 litres worth of waste, making it heavy to lift - this is on top of the flush tank itself, which appears to hold at least between 10 to 15 litres worth of water. In order to dispose of the waste, one must lift the top part - which includes the flush tank - off first, put to one side (ensure the basin is clean so nothing dribbles through the hole), followed by carrying the cassette itself to the location for emptying. It's therefore strongly advised to always refill the flush tank immediately after the cassette has been emptied and put back, as it means the next time you fill up the cassette, you will have emptied the flush tank at the same time, making the top part lighter to take off. In terms of emptying the cassette into a normal toilet, the experience is quite unpleasant. There is no way to regulate the flow of waste exiting the cassette, so it will rebound off the sides and bits and pieces will launch towards out of the toilet bowl and towards your face, which, being bent over holding a heavy weight, will be fairly close to the toilet. It's advisable to wear some sort of goggles to avoid anything going into the eyes. The smell - even with chemical - will be quite nauseous, so ensure the toilet you're using has a working flush and use immediately after emptying the main load of contents. Additional clean water - usually several litres worth - will be required to clean out the remaining bits and pieces in the cassette. Getting the water from a tap into the cassette is usually the tricky part and can create a mess of water. I also found it useful to add a little bit of chemical for the first rinse as it helps to dislodge any remaining elements and reduces the number of rinses. When using the chemical toilet, flushing is a rather perplexing experience. If one pumps too slowly, the flush dribbles into the bowl, wastes fluid and doesn't clean everything. If one pumps too strongly or quickly, they may find the liquid going over the rim and under the seat and down the sides of the toilet. There is no sort of moderation mechanism. Annoyingly fluid gets stuck behind the nozzle and is difficult to clean. Curiously, despite the issues, the Porta Potti seems sturdy and well made. It endures the weight of a full human with seemingly no issue. The lid and toilet seat are designed such they're easy to remove and thus clean and put back on (and I imagine are replaceable). The pump, despite having no moderation, is study and doesn't feel awkward to use. The materials are quality, and stand up to repeated use well. Essentially it's a quality built chemical toilet in need of a few design improvements. Regulation on the pump, a wider, more comfortable seat, markings to indicate measurements, fill lines, more useful instructions and health and safety advice, better flush drainage on the front, something to keep the refill cap attached to the body so it doesn't get lost and a less embarrassing name.

Used this for 5 years now and it's easy to use, clean and store.

Good product perfect size for my campervan, portable and seals smell in after flushing super value 🚐

Well made, good secure design, durable, doesn't take up too much room

غطاء تصريف الماء ملعوب فيه كان أحد فكه بمفك .. كان السلعة مستعملة ... الكرتون فيه ضربة.

franchement, en cas de soucis, sa dépanne bien lorsque vous avez des besoins urgents, sa prend un peu de place certes, mais lors de long déplacement ou même lors de travaux dans les wc de la maison, "sa fait le boulot" comme on dit. Bon rapport qualité/prix

Using in my new ertiga as car toilet. Very useful.

Very nice brand and very nice potty. Stands for a big family for at least full day (up to two days)

Second best thing we have bought for our camper van. The first being our Arb refrigerator. We have stealth camped in many locations and having the ability to use a toilet without leaving the van is priceless. We have had zero issues with it. Useful tip is open the flush valve BEFORE use. The waste tank holds atmospheric pressure and will spray waste on you if you open it after use with the lid still open. You can remove the waste tank and drain it in any toilet. Would definitely buy again
