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".

Love this product. I primarily live in my van and love how small and light the container is. Easy to move around when shuffling through gear in the van. Quality is solid as I often find myself putting other gear on top of this. Easy to use and remove waste as well.

I bought the toilet, extender box, green bags, seat cushion and little green clips. The clips do NOT work, so don't buy them. The green bags are nice and work well. The toilet itself is decent quality and pretty well designed. I thought there would be some urine splatter because the pee inlet is pretty shallow, but it was ok. I didn't have the green screw-on cover on the top of the urine bottle so urine leaked around and ended up in the main box, but that was my fault. The #2 area is big enough and the bags are big enough they drape the sides of the p**p container and won't drop in when full. Over all i don't see how this could be designed much better. BIG CRITIQUE: The little red stopper for urine thing is not included with the toilet purchase and it should be. Otherwise with each pee you have to lift the cover and screw on the green cap to avoid odors. Not convenient. The whole setup works well for me but with all the pieces it is way overpriced. The box itself is small, lightweight, and doubles as an extra seat with the little cushion. For girls this is a good option. I don't get out of my camper at midnight to pee. For the guys i don't see a huge advantage over a bucket with a baggie in it, especially given the cost. If i could pee out the window like the guys i probably would have skipped the whole thing. Summary: Quality good, price not good, stopper should be part of initial setup. Girls works well; guys skip it. Follow up to my initial review: an added negative: the cover for the urine portal and the red urine portal plug retain a strong smell of urine. I am going to try soaking them in bleach to see if that resolves it. Soaking in borax and water did not.

The concept of this potty is great but the makers really failed with the execution of their idea. I doubt that anyone who has given this a good review actually used it. I actually think the creators may not have ever used it either. It's extremely overpriced, weighs nothing and feels so flimsy. The materials are worth about $20 tops. The insert to separate urine is not sized properly, and urine splashes and runs into the back part of the potty (the solids area) most of the time when being used by a female. The separator is also not angled properly, and urine collects in the bowl and dries there, creating a smell unless you wipe it out each time you use it. Additionally, the urine collection bottle is shaped in a way that does not allow all of the liquid to get out of the bottle. It's ridiculous. Then if you try to shake it out, the handle for the bottle is attached right at the opening, so the handle gets urine all over it. We used this for urine only, for two females on a two day trip and it was a disaster. Messy, smelly, difficult to empty. Pee everywhere, in the box, on my hands, it was super lame. We've been using a Thetford 135 in our van for two years and it's been great, but I wanted to try something more straightforward and that looked less like a potty. Turns out that little potty far surpasses the BOXIO. It's easy to use, comfortable, doesn't feel like it will break, and super easy to clean (and keep my hands free of pee). If the BOXIO were about a third of the cost, it may be worth it, but at this price point it should be working perfectly and surpass anything else out there.

Excellent and affordable! I've been using 5 gallon buckets with bags and pine shavings for more than 20 years, and they are reliable but not great, so I was looking for an improvement. THIS IS DEFINITELY AN IMPROVEMENT! I love that it's small enough to take with in a vehicle so I'm not stuck with unsafe or filthy conditions in a bathroom on the road. Thank you!

Understand, this is a portable toilet. It is practical, it works well for travel, camping, RV/Van life etc... It is also well priced considering other types of composting toilets on the market. However, it is not without it's flaws. If you think about purchasing the Boxio Toilet Max+ then you have issues. The Max+ is just another small box under the main milk create so-to-speak for extra storage and also giving height to the main box. It is attached by these flimsy plastic square clips THAT ARE WORTHLESS!!!! The clips have no grip and will just slide off. Das ist schlecht!! (This is bad). Terrible engineering design. A better design would have been a sliding drawer doing away with the clips. Giving the user easy access to extra drawer space. Just a thought. Another idea for the engineering team at Boxio would be the pee tank. Why does this have to be a two handed job when emptying the contents? Some folks might not have strong enough hands to hold the tank upside down to empty, clean, and empty again. There are two issues at work here. 1). The pee tank does not have enough downgrade funnel flow to empty. You have to shake it back and forth. A sharper downgrade funnel would allow the contents to empty better as well as better flow. Also the pee basin tube to fit better within the opening once back in the create. 2). Why would you not place a finger hand grip indention (area smaller to grab the pee tank easier). The issue is the pee tank is a smooth rounded edge square tank with no area to grab with one hand. The handle doesn't count. If you had indentions within the pee tank, this would give the opportunity to hold with one hand and remove the contents. Example, a Folgers 22.6 once coffee can (can =kann), this larger can has indentions for easy one handed access and operation so you can grab it. Just a thought. The Boxio composting toilet does it's job and works. As long as you empty on a daily cycle you should be fine. A few engineering changes and this will get funf sterne(five stars). Tschuss!!!! Danke

As a plus-sized girl Boxio is easy to use and both comfortable and sturdy. I didn't attach the lid. It's designed to sit perfectly on top and I like that it's easy to take off, clean and slip back on. I love the storage bin that fits perfectly underneath. It's great as it holds everything and it makes the Boxio taller making it easier to use. The clips do not work, they flip off easily. One can hold the clips in when moving the Boxio but they really aren't needed. One can move the while box easily and the pieces fit together without problem. The urine canister is super easy to empty. I thought it would be cumbersome but it's easy and hands remain clean. Love the various tops and the plug. Good, simple design that works. Good value for money.

Way over priced for poor design . There maybe 5 dollars of plastic parts here. If the design was great I'd turn the other cheek. The basic unit is to low to be comfortable. So we use the storage riser that you pay extra for. The stupid clips they provide as a way to keep the riser and the top together don't work from minute one. The clips pop off in the bed of my truck during transport and I'm constantly looking for them. If you don't use them the toilet portion bounces off the riser portion and turns over in the bed of the truck. The seat section is supposed to lift up to allow changing of poop bags and emptying of the urine holder. The place where you put your finger to lift the lid is poorly designed. I drilled a hole in the plastic to make it work. The urine container is too small my wife pees a lot at night and she is constantly afraid as overfilling the urine container which causes a huge mess. We try to use it overlanding, it's not making the grade. We use it on our boat ,it's bulky turns over (forget the riser) and there are much smaller units (which we have now purchased) that work better. 2 stars because you can pee and poop in it and the pee and poop stay separated.
