Putting a liner in after you're done is a great idea because people forget - especially when you're busting! Looking forward to when you guys introduce an auto-liner or no-liner required solution though.
compost toilets gross me out so this being an alternative sounds awesome!
This tech has been around for awhile. I first used an electri toilet at the Fairbanks Ak “Country Club” in 1969.
This is true Gerard and yet many in North America are just hearing about it :)
The scoop. Lol.
This couple laugh together, will stay together
So True!
Such charming people.
These two are so cute
Yes, I enjoyed recording this interview. They made it easy and the location was beautiful!
it's great when it works. Mine doesn't work properly. the hatch jams with the second flush.
There are a few reasons this could be happening - not enough weight in the liner, flushing to closely together etc. Please send us an email or give our office a call so we can investigate further and get you up and running smoothly. Happy Labor Day!
What kind of electric bills can you expect with this thing? I have a holding tank, in a super environmentally sensitive area and septics aren't permitted, it costs me about $600/year for pump outs. And the tank itself cost my about $6k to install myself.
That is a great question. I assume you are referring to the electric model and not the propane model. We have found the electric one we use full time at our shop consumes an average of 1.5 kW per flush. If you are flushing the maximum amount per hour, you might get a little better efficiency so it depends on what setting it is being used in.
Just curious about something which would be better Gas or Electric? what's the wattage use?
I live completely off grid using solar and electricity is something I watch closely. also I'm at 8500 ft in elevation and just read this product is rated for less then 5000 ft
The Gas, now called Cinderella Freedom (propane) model is designed for off grid locations as it only draws 1.3 amps during the incineration cycle at 12v DC and 4 amps on start up. As you have pointed out though, it does have limitations as to the elevation it is rated for. The electric model is rated for your elevation but it requires a 240v / 10 amp power source. The electric model consumes around 1.5 kw per flush. Let us know if you have any further questions.
Thank you for the information
Does it heat up the room when it is incinerating? I mean would it be a problem in hot summer days in a small cabin?
When the exhaust vent routed up the wall inside the bathroom, it might make a small difference in the temperature but most installs have the toilet against an outside wall and the venting is all outside the building. The vent pipe is only warm to the touch so it doesn't have a big impact.
Are these toilets waterproof enough to use in a combined toilet/showeroom ?
Good question that we often get. They are designed for bathrooms but not to be placed in the shower.
Roughly, what do these cost?
For the latest pricing on the different models, head to our website incineratingtoilets.com and if your project is in the USA check out The Cabin Depot website.
Daily costs associated with the Cinderella?
Depending on the model, you would have your propane or electrical costs and then your bowl liners (1 per flush). To find out your daily costs, you would need to know your average amount of flushes and your local hydro or propane costs. Not a daily cost but as with any serviceable appliance, you should budget a small amount for when the time comes 5 to 10 years down the road. Things like the fan, heating element or air filter (catalytic converter) will need to be replaced at some point.
Hope that helps.

TY, regarding Pee, if you go multiple times throughout the night, do you have to use a bag and cycle each time?
@@GENECARP Yes, you would want to use a bowl liner and then flush after each use. The bowl liner controls what the waste touches on the way down when the hatch is opened as well as it helps it get to the ash container when you flush :)
@@incineratingtoilets
Seems like for the older crowd, or anyone who pees a lot, the toilet would be constantly running in addition to using a ton of bags…
@@GENECARP This is in part why Cinderella has the unisex waterless urinal. It requires no power or propane, bowl liners or water. It does however need somewhere for the urine to drain to. A filter bed or holding tank. This could vary depending on your local municipal bylaws. In a lot of places, urine is considered grey water so it is easy to deal with.
Is this toilet safe for children to use?
That is a great question. The simple answer is yes. Cinderella put safety as a high priority. The toilet hatch will not open when you flush if the toilet lid is up. This mean there is no access to the hot chamber in the lower half of the toilet. A child would have to pop the front cover of the toilet off to access the ash container and this is designed with children in mind.
Can one b put in a trailer house?
We have some customers who have put them into stationary trailer homes. Most people are waiting for the Cinderella Motion to be available as it is only sold in Europe right now. It is designed for moving vehicles and is a better fit for the smaller bathroom space usually found in an RV or mobile home.
@@incineratingtoilets Hi. Before I search engine, can you share the American price, dimensions, and other advantages/differences for this other RV model, please?
So far, I'm I think I'm more interested in a camper conversion van, as opposed to an rv. So, the size will be the main difference, for me(?)
btw, I like shorter 'squatty potties,' and saving space sounds ideal, too.
I travel alone. So, I'm not worried about usage while driving, personally.
Also, when would this more portable model be readily available to the States, please?
Thank you, for your time. 😊
@@eliaustin3745 Sounds like you have some adventures ahead of you :) Lots of good questions. As you are probably aware, the Cinderella Travel model is currently only available in Europe and Scandinavia. We do not have a release date for North America yet. We hope to see it sooner then later as it will make a big difference. One of the biggest differences between the travel model and the Freedom model has to do with the venting system. For answers to your questions on installation and dimensions check out the manual on their website. www.cinderellaeco.com/products/919/cinderella-travel-incineration-toilet
@@eliaustin3745any new information on smaller units?
These reviews are great but why doesn't anyone ever actually show their Cinderella toilet in them?? Like -the set up for example. I think a large majority of the folks that check out these videos are looking to actually see the look of placement and orientation. How do we we even know they actually have one?? lol
Such a good point and looking back I wished I had taken a few more pictures and videos of the bathroom to overlay while they chatted :) I believe there are a few videos on our TH-cam channel that should help answer those kind of questions on placements and looks. If you head to Cinderella's TH-cam channel, they have some customer review videos that show the toilet as well.
So you have to pee while there is a burn cycle in process. What about that?
Great question! If there is an incineration in process, it will pause when the toilet lid is opened. Once you close the lid and flush the toilet again, it will continue the burn. 🔥
@@incineratingtoilets It seems a bit inane to burn urine. why on earth is there no urine separator?
@@yogaasana6019 I hear you. Some locations consider urine black water and that means permits can be required and or a larger filter bed to dispose of it. That being said, Cinderella Eco Solutions does have a unisex waterless urinal (has a drain) for locations that allow for this type of solution.
Let me guess. This a paid endorsement for the Cinderella?
Not in this case....It was just me, my camera and two satisfied customers 😀
overpriced
More expensive then a composting toilet solution but much cheaper then a septic. Excellent solution for those looking to avoid the composting toilet world and yet can't afford a septic or is unable to install a septic due to space, terrain or location.
Don't do it!!! We started having problems with our Comfort model within 3 weeks of installation. Replacement parts cost a fortune and because all of the components are in the same enclosed, humid space it is a cascade of failures. Add to this the fact that the company will blame you every time for misuse, overuse and improper maintenance to absolve themselves of having to honor the warranty.
As mentioned in our emails, we hold customer service / satisfaction in highest regard as it does us, the customer and the manufacturer no good to do otherwise. Cinderella Eco Solutions has a strong warranty because they are confident from their 25 years of being in business that their solution will last for 15 plus years. Similar to a car and other appliances, one should expect (plan) to replace the air filter / "tires" at some point down the road depending on use and maintenance. This is something we try to cover in detail during the sales process.
We have worked hard to support you from the beginning and remain committed to supporting you. We are excited to bring a great solution to customers looking for the best alternative to septic and want to stay away from composting toilet solutions.
@@incineratingtoilets I have heard the retorect ad nauseum. To anyone not on the Cinderella payroll, read the comments and replies from people who actually use the units. As a side note, telling the customer they should buy a $800 Cinderella urinal to sit beside their malfunctioning $6000 Cinderella toilet to "lighten the load" on the unit because it doesn't work as advertised is only adding idiocy to ridiculous
