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".

I honestly haven’t been this upset about a purchase in a long time. Unfortunately I didn’t open the box/set it up for about a month after it arrived so I missed the window for a refund. I don’t even know where to begin. This was supposed to be an upgrade over the bucket setup I’ve done for years, I have lived off grid a very long time and have utilized many different types of toilet systems. This is the worst. For starters it’s very small and feels relatively flimsy. I am a 5 foot tall woman and I feel like a giant when I sit on it, I can’t imagine being a normal sized adult and finding it comfortable. It’s my fault for not reading the dimensions, it’s an odd rectangular shape. It is by far the worst smelling set up ive used. Maybe other people are using this indoors, mine is outside in an out-house, and the heat of summer is cooking the contents and creating a TON of moisture inside the box there is just an all over coating of poop/pee scented moisture, it sticks to my skin and leaves a lingering odor that is just grossing me out, I have to use wet wipes all over every bit of skin that makes contact with the box. And God forbid I accidentally leaned back against the lid that is always dripping, I have to change my shirt. It’s great that the lid closes tight, to keep mice out and such, but it turns it into a little oven, and the condensation is disgusting. Mind you i live in the middle of the desert with zero humidity… Another thing, because it’s so small, it can only hold a couple of poops before you have to empty/change it, so every couple of days it has to be dealt with and it’s a very immersive experience… One major downfall is that the bags, while it’s great that they are biodegradable, have already started biodegrading after just a couple of days, as if there is no bag there at all. Which makes it a messier more burdensome experience. I had imagined being able to pull the bag out tie it closed and walk it to the compost, but that’s not how it’s going, not to mention, the toilet seat, the hole being so small, if you don’t have absolutely impeccable aim, it gets directly on the seat housing which is another gross thing to have to deal with, so I’ve learned to actually pull the bag up through the hole and use masking tape to stick it so that anything that hits the sides is hitting the bag and not the toilet seat itself. I hate this. The only thing good about it is the urine diverter. Everyone was complaining about that part as if it’s hard to dump out, but as long as you have a brain you just hold the handle out of the way, it’s not a big deal. I don’t think I’ll be using this much longer, and it’ll be just more plastic crap in the landfill I guess. Bummer.

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.

Expensive and the #2 receptacle cracked almost immediately - that said, it fits perfectly in my truck build, and the time saved over building my own was worth it

This product did exactly what we needed it to do, was easy to set up and for the price is a great deal. The only thing I would change was to make it a bit taller but we put it up on a small wooden box and was perfect. Like I said though for the price it’s great esp compared to other brands that are hundreds of dollars more for essentially the same thing. I would buy another

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!!

Just tested it today. It does its duty lol

Very low and for the construction build and the cost. Why wouldn't you include the bottom storage? That is just a flimsy less than a milk crate. Construction to raise up the unit. I just unpacked it, have not used it. And what a disappointment, aside from the fact that it's recycled material, and they still charge a $180 for some wood, chips, 3 rolls of plastic bags. And a twenty five dollar at cost plastic mold injection, it is less than mediocre. Definitely, 0 comfort. You're sitting on a square box with hard edges. I'm not sure how people say that this is a great system.

Had to pay UPS Delivery driver 34.80 $ customs fee . Definitely not worth 339 for a plastic box 3 rolls of garbage bags & 2 small bags of Hemp . You could probably do the same with a 5 $ 5 gallon pail . What a trap . I am returning this article in a heart beat . Stay away from made in Germany cheap products . Not worth it .
