I like camping but trying to dash to the bathhouse in the middle of the night when its cold and raining is no picnic. My brother also has issues holding it when he wakes at night, several times he almost didn't make it to the bathhouse (I had a few close calls myself...we're getting old!). I had originally decided on one you use bags and powder with but realized how much extra steps that would be to do so I looked into this type. I looked for a long time and at several different ones. This one did not have many reviews but had everything I was looking for: height, level gauge, pressure release valve in a spot that made sense and pour spout that rotated. This absolutely saved my bro this past weekend, he admitted that if it weren't for this potty he probably wouldn't have made it to the bathhouse. I bought the Porta-Paks to go in it, it last ALMOST a full 3 day weekend with 3 people (2 adults, 1 9yo). The 2 adults only went pee in it but my nephew loved it so much he wanted to use it all the time lol If you got a bigger bum than it might be a bit difficult. I am 5'4 and 190lbs and had no difficulty really but your bum will be close once your done (my reason for only going pee lol). My bro is 6' and 300lbs but he never sat on it and used it only for pee and left the slide open to reduce splash. It's VERY sturdy, I had no issues at all. No smell or leakage. Easy to clean. We didn't use the sprayer this time. Be careful when dumping, the cap came off quickly and we lost the cap down the dump station (embarrassing!), but I contacted them and they were SUPER quick to respond and are graciously sending me a replacement (thank you so much!!!). Highly recommend, great product and fantastic customer service!!
