Century 6210 5-Gallon Portable Toilet

I bought this for my wife for our 7-day camping/hiking/kayaking adventure in the Adirondacks. She used it, I did not! When asked, she said she liked it and she'll use it again.

Note: I bought the Wenzel 3ft x 3ft outdoor shower tent to go with this item.

The good:

- It works as advertised
- Does not leak, unless it tips over during transport (the fresh water tank leaks)
- Seems solid in body, seals and connections, except the cover (don't stand on it).

The not as good:
- Flushing tube is not too powerful, perhaps having multiple nozzles would have helped. It seems to only rinse a certain section of the bowl.
- It leaks when it tips over (which you should guard against), probably from the bellows or rinse tube (it leaks clean water only)
- It is prone to tipping over when it only has fresh water in it (becomes top-heavy). The smaller model probably would be more stable.
- It lacks a pressure-relief valve which some more expensive toilets have. When it comes time to empty the waste tank, one must be rather careful when opening it as internal pressure build-up can cause it to splash initially, probably in your face. Alternatively, relieve pressure with the cover down, then remove the tank.


I have not tried any chemicals in it yet (short trips).

I am very pleased with our purchase of the Century 5 gallon portable toilet. We have found it to be an excellent quality product. I would not hesitate purchase this product again. The low Amazon price made it an excellent purchase.
