- First time user, new Incinolet Electric Incinerating toilet test. Not many videos on these amazing toilets so after I purchased one I thought I'd make my own video just for fun. My camera mic makes it sound like it has a jet turbine engine for an exhaust fan - not so - accurate sound of operation is at around the 5 min mark in the video. It really is as quiet as a hairdryer on low power. Sorry about the use of 15 year old nasty cloudy expired vinegar that my wife was going to throw out .... closest thing to pee I could find ...vs using the real thing !
This is the 120v model on a dedicated 20amp circuit. - ภาพยนตร์และแอนิเมชัน

Thank you for the review. You are correct, for an amazing toilet there are so few reviews.
After 3 years of use .. new video coming soon. 3 years later and the smell is the same,(very mild slightly burnt popcorn smell) the noise is the same, and it is working perfectly with no breakdowns, repairs or issues.Thanx for watching !
These are very special toilets they are used in places like drawbridges and Forestry Lookouts, the top of cranes. They're very good thing for things like that. Thanks so much for your video

Good job testing the toilet, thanks.
Song fits perfectly with the video
Thank you so much for posting this video! My wife and I are building an Earthship Biotecture Home in Northern Nevada (North of Reno-Sparks Nevada) off grid and with water collection instead of a well. This is a great solution to our design. I have to research if it will require more solar and batteries to operate correctly. Once again - Thank You!
it says right on the Incinolet website that solar can't be used. But I do believe people have used car batteries in remote locations. Call Incinolet and ask.
Also, they're working on a lower-energy-use model atm. Prob late 2021, I think?

we need a version that runs off 12V and a propane tank!
Google CINDERELLA GAS propone toilet
Eco John has propane ran incinerating toilets.
It is impressive you were not bowled over with a steamy vinegar smell. I like it!
Thank you sir, I've been looking at this thing for a year or more, debating if it will work for my need. I have a barn that is too far away to tap into the existing septic system and don't want to install another system just for a single toilet. Your video is very well done with every bit of info I needed to make a decision. It's a no brainer for me now. It would be nice if you could give a follow up review since it's been about a year by now. Cheers.
New video .. 3 years of use .. coming soon. 3 years later and the smell is the same,(very mild slightly burnt popcorn smell) the noise is the same, and it is working perfectly with no breakdowns, repairs or issues.
Are use a squirt bottle add 25% of the Porta potty blue chemical and the other 75% water. And every time we use it we give it one square before it uses. This way here we only have to run it after every three times. Also the time we run it at noon time and again when we leave at five 530
I’m convinced. SOLD! Thank you!
Goodbye Compost toilet!
In an off grid scenario where power is generator or solar, I would opt for the propane version. These are not new, I used one at the Fairbanks Country Club (a converted cow pasture) in 1970.
Better bowl liner than the tiny John demo…much bigger
Do you have any follow-up info to share since its been about a year since posting? Are you satisfied with the purchase overall? What has been your power consumption?
thanks.Well done.
Thorough review. Thank you.

Video is well done. Thank you for being able to actually say the words: Urine & Feces. It’s striking how in other videos, folks were struck dumb finding the words for normal human waste. Regarding this unit however, what happens if a second or third person needs to use the toilet within the incinerator burn time? Doubtful this model could be used on a boat. The power with a generator is simply not sufficient.
Explanation was very, very good.
The demo showed that the burning process could be interrupted. But those interruptions will slow down the final burn process.
Just delay it ... each time you use the potty - re press the button .... it's rated for normal toilet use

I didn't know "Everybody Poops" was a song as well as book.
So it can only be used once every 90mins? That could be problematic for a couple or family, right?
In an earlier comment he answered that it can be used during the incinerator process - you just need to release the waste into the incinerator and start the burn cycle again by pressing the button. This leads to another question: what is the capacity of the incinerator chamber for “unburned” waste. Can a family, say, of five actually use this toilet in rapid sequence? is the burn chamber deep and wide enough to collect that much waste to process?
What kind of total electric is used per flush? Seems very high. Is this suppose to be only flushed once a day i hope.
20-40 cents per cycle. how you use it up to you. Some get creative
Urine is basic. A component of urine is ammonia. Vinegar is acidic. Perhaps ammonia water would be a more accurate test. Thank you for running this test.
That is a crazy suggestion. You do NOT want to vaporize ammonia with heat and have a whiff. You will get to have an ambulance ride. Have a cell phone ready.
My concern is the electrical usage. I will be in a trailer in WA this winter and I am concerned with the power being able to manage this toilet while also heating the trailer. Both will be nearly max pulls and I don't believe that the 30 amps will be able to handle those massive electrical demands along with any other type of electrical use (like the fridge, a clock, or whatever). If the toilet did not need an hour or so use of the electrical pull EACH time it is flushed, the ability to both continuously heat the trailer and use the toilet might be doable. I'm thinking that I might need the composting toilet instead (which is not as desirable as the Incinolet).
I'm new to all of this, so any advice would be very much appreciated. I've not been in the trailer yet, and I don't know if the trailer's propane heat will be sufficient to keep it warm during the very cold upcoming winter. I've been researching on TH-cam and it seems that everyone is suggesting a secondary heating source (like a Buddy Heater) along with skirting the bottom of the trailer to have the temperature bearable. It would be ideal if I could use the Incinolet and still be able to maintain a comfortable temperature if it's possible.
It is worth checking out Cinderella Incinerating toilets as well as they have a propane model that only requires 12v power to run the fan and display.
Living on wheels takes some sacrifice as you likely know by now. It is common to not use any other large draw items while running an incinolet. The nature of the beast.
DL Roberts Cinderella looks great but they run about $4000 usd as opposed to Incinolet is about $1800 usd. I guess it’s a matter of needs.
It saves a lot of water! Love em.
How large of a generator would be needed to run this ?
20 Amp 120V
Well built unit
Still going strong into it's 3rd year now.
Does it have to go through this process every time you go? Can you go again even while it’s on?
Yes you can go again during the cycle - you simply press the foot peddle releasing the waste into the hot burn chamber and then press the start button once you've finished and the cycle starts again. Be aware that you might get some smoke or fumes from the first incineration cycle if you open it up during the 'burn'.

That's a very interesting review, what is the power consumption?
2000 watt (2kwh per "flush)
@@fouroakfarm so if person use 10 times a day, we should have 10x10/60x2000=3333watts per person per day? That's a lot of battery power if we use in a RV setting.
Gear-it! You use the bathroom 10 times a day?! 😳
It is neat but it does seem like the power consumption is awfully high. Composting toilets are good but to really get the benefit of it you need to let it fully compost which takes months and it would be best to have a garden (or know someone with a garden) to put the composted material to use. Most tiny homes don't have space for that. So if you have power to spare but no real space then this would be a good choice - despite the price tag.
I believe you are correct Harmony. If memory serves me correctly, with the average use of typical Composting toilet users, the poo truly does not completely compost by the time it is emptied and disposed of. It takes much longer to be technically composted.
The biggest drawback for me for the "composting" toilets besides the periodic extra work involved, was the problem of keeping liquids and solids separate. Everyone is different and for some that is more of a challenge. Makes a huge difference in the stink/eeeeewwww factor plus other impt considerations. For some it might not be the best choice.
With the incinetator, it doesn't matter. Heck, you can stick with your favorite brand of TP instead of having to use the specialized or biodegradeable RV kinds! To me that is a win-win.
I just read a blog post about using a compost toilet in an RV. They suggested emptying their solid tank every 3-4 weeks. They supplement and help air it with coir. But that's a portable toilet, and people's habits vary. I'd have thought that dehydrated solids, eventually don't actually amount to much over the course of a year. You'd probably only fill a waste bin. So if you had two bins on rotation, you could rest one until it fully decomposed, and then plant out the generated compost. So even a small space could easily accomodate the waste, which is quite valuable. I've seen what is basically a large aired insulated plastic composter being used, and I doubt you'd fill one in a year, and could pretty much leave that in situ. But still I'd think that some rotation would be required. Composting toilets are so low tech and yet I can't see any particular benefit in any other over engineered systems. A bucket covered with saw dust, in a well ventilated space, that is frequently emptied into a discreete composting area would be good enough and very cheap. Link to the RV composting video: th-cam.com/video/dYR6GPmDzVM/w-d-xo.html
2-40 cents per cycle where I live. Your rresults may vary. I have fiddled with various composting toilets for over 3 decades and like this better.
Do you need to incinerate immediately. Example say 2 ppl use toilet b4 turning on burn cycle,?
You run it after you use it ... just like a regular toilet - it's rated for continuous use.After 3 years of use .. new video coming soon. 3 years later and the smell is the same,(very mild slightly burnt popcorn smell) the noise is the same, and it is working perfectly with no breakdowns, repairs or issues.Thanx for watching !
How do you know if it’s working? I read that burn time was 15 min, which I thought was long....this is ridiculous!
When do you have to run the incinerator cycle?
After each use.
Which operates in the least amount of time, electric or propane?
Propane = 30 min burn. Electric = 75 min burn.
Hello. Do you know if an incinerating toilet can be used in a van conversion (step van)?
google
Qaali Flowers I want one In my motorhome
Yes, it´s possible, I was looking for something like this when I knew the "Cinderella Motion" (very famous). The main difference is that Cinderella needs a gas/propane install to do the incineration and this only uses AC (120 or 240 volts.) but needs a lot of power (3500 Watts). I think that the solution if you want to install in a van (my idea) is use a dedicate inverter 12v Dc to 240 v Ac to produce all the power this incinerator needs.
But I don´t know if this company sells the unit in Europe (Canary Islands).
Thanks for reading, Great idea!
Yes it can. I installed a propane version in my RV.
❤️💕
Would you do a video of a gas one?
Not sure what you mean ? They don't make ones that use gasoline.
Does it make popcorn?
Would you try if he tells you it's possible?
how does this wrk in event of diarrhea?
None of the demonstrators ever address the issue of diarrhea. This product probably would be able to handle it if it burned the entire bowl instead of just the paper and contents. Otherwise I don't think that small liner is suitable for explosive diarrhea.
It's rated for continuous use. Just press the burn button after each use.
Everybody is pooping 🎶🎶🎶
FINALLY! A crematorium for my poo so I can put it in an urn on the mantlepiece and remember all our fun times together.
What are you feeding those cats
PoopCorn
Appropriately scientific !
Was interested until I saw how long it runs. Is that after each use, after the day?
It runs for about an hour and a half after each use but you do not even notice it being on. You can still use the toilet while it is running.
Running for 1 1/2 hours for a single "flush" is pretty ridiculous, and not very practical. Not to mention the energy it would take to run it on a regular basis. It's a great idea. I like the concept behind incinerator toilets. This one just uses too much energy and takes too long to do its job.
Agree
Definitely this. 2 kwh for one "flush"?? I could easily see this costing $1000+ a year just in energy then need to add cost of liners on top of that
No. You can use it while it’s incinerating a previous use (up to 6 times, 15 minutes apart).
Yes, it is possible to use it while it is incinerating but that requires everyone to line up their bowel movements. I'm not so sure I can get a 7 year old "to poo" on demand. Any suggestions?
@@fouroakfarm I've been using my Incinolet since 2009 and it only adds about $20/month to my electric bill. That's much cheaper than having a septic tank pumped out regularly or installing a sand mound when maybe you don't have a big enough yard for one.
I'm planning to start a vanlife. Is this good to have in the van?
I think its possible but you'd need one top notch electrical set up. I'm planning on doing the same thing. I tho k youd need at least 2500 watt inverter and enough solar/ batteriea to power that. Or a generator
@@CWtube14 It is worth checking out Cinderella Incinerating toilets as well as they have a propane model that only requires 12v power to run the fan and display.
@@radventure1075 thanks for the input! Not a fan of propane but ill give it some thought.
@@CWtube14 I was wondering the exact same thing! Did you find anything else useful? Did you go ahead with it? It would save a lot of work and needs no water! I'm planning to travel and I don't want to waste any water. Composting toilets have too much upkeep. This has an ash tray that needs emptying once in a month or even less frequently. The only problem is the high upfront cost. And it needs a very large electrical system.
@@gadagkarus I havnt got my van yet but I really do think its possible.if you keep your other electrical draws down anf have a good solar system, maybe install a second alternator. Even if you use portable solar generators and recharge them with your vehicle every day. I'm starting my build this summer. Ill update you when I try it out.
Maybe the heat from all that power could go through a heat exchanger and warm your trailer before it goes out into the open air. Seems wasteful otherwise.
Wonderful idea! The heat could indeed be put to some use : )
Anything is possible with enough time and money. Which is more wasteful...a 2000 dollar heat exchanger or just venting the darn thing?
G Henrickson or get a used radiator from the dump and use that. $5.00.
I can't help but wonder if this company made an adapter to run the clothes dryer vent through this toilet, if your clothes dryer wouldn't do this same thing while drying your clothes.
Use it to incinerate other trash because it works just like any other incinerator
3 years later and the smell is the same,(very mild slightly burnt popcorn smell) the noise is the same, and it is working perfectly with no breakdowns, repairs or issues.
This toilet is that SHIT! ;)
Hehehe. You couldn't find any genuine urine for the test? Probably could have used a bottle of wine over the organic apple cider vinegar and saved yourself some money LOL :P
Old vinegar was expired and cloudy .... wife gave me the green light to use for the video.
@@carpedfilm 😊 Just teasing you. It is so expensive here. x
Sounds like it burns the crap out of the waste and also burns the piss out of it.
Can be used continuously
85 minutes to burn off your poop what if someone has to use the toilet after you man i thought these where a great idea now kinda doubting it
Can be used continuously. Each subsequent use will reset timer for burn time
You use it like a regular toilet ... go when you need to go ... every 5 minutes if you need to - just press the button each time you 'flush' to reset the burn time.
Would have been a more realistic burn demo if you hadn't kept interrupting the process every 15 minutes.
My apologies.
That is a good review... when you start smelling shit and describing it, you must be a good reviewer.
U is funny ! After 3 years of use .. new video coming soon. 3 years later and the smell is the same,(very mild slightly burnt popcorn smell) the noise is the same, and it is working perfectly with no breakdowns, repairs or issues.Thanx for watching !
Stop feeding your kitty popcorn.
Now that's funny ! 3 years later and the smell is the same,(very mild slightly burnt popcorn smell) the noise is the same, and it is working perfectly with no breakdowns, repairs or issues.
I would vent this to go up thru soffit or roof
Absolutely not necessary unless you really don't like the slight smell of burning popcorn when it is running.
I have 2 incinolet toilets. Apart from only being allowed to order 1pack of liners at a time $20 plus 22$ shipping each. I have completely rebuilt one of the units twice in 3 years, and the other unit replaced a control unit and 2 heater coils. Phone support is available when you can get it, otherwise you’re doing all the trouble shooting and repairs yourself. I maintain these toilets regularly including “stirring the beads” and the exhaust odor is terrible anyway. So, I wouldn’t suggest purchasing these toilets. Very very expensive to operate and constant maintenance. Not worth it.
Is there one you would recommend?
@@kcannava2412 Unfortunately they are the only Incinerating toilet available in the US right now. There is a Swiss company, but do not be fooled, read the reviews. They’re not actually in the US and they are acccepting peoples money from the US and Canada and not delivering on these $3000 toilets. Unfortunately in Sonoma that is your only choice. That’s probably why they can get away with such bad service. I lived with two of these toilets for nearly 4 years. If you have absolutely no other option, and no way to get to a septic system they don’t want to do a composting toilet, this is the option. Don’t expect it not to stink all the time.
@@cranialnervI dunno why some people will say very little smell and then there are people like yourself say bad smell
3 years later and the smell is the same,(very mild slightly burnt popcorn smell) the noise is the same, and it is working perfectly with no breakdowns, repairs or issues.
@@carpedfilm do you have to stir the beads? Maybe that gentleman needs to work on his vent system
I just got mine and its waayy louder. Something must be off.
Hope you sorted the problem - the noise mine makes is the same 2 years on ...still running perfectly.
1 hr 25 minutes for one "flush"?? Something doesn't sound right with that
Just saw a guy that said 15 minutes
Why not? Have you tried to bake brownies until they turn to aah? I'm impressed, personally.

Organic cider vinegar for a pee test, what a waste...
Vinegar was 15 year old, nasty smelly and cloudy, and my wife was going to toss it .... closest thing I could find vs using actual pee ....
Thumbs down for doing the first test with cat poop and apple cider vinegar.
Sorry to disappoint you but I had no intention of showing the viewing audience my own feces or urine for the test.
This thing is ANYTHING but "green". That's 2 kWh's worth of electricity per flush. Upwards of .50 cents of electricity per flush in high electricity cost areas. And then you have a fan sucking out cooled or heated air from inside your living space. Such a terrible design.
this isnt a "green" replacement for a toilet. Its for use in a remote or old shop location that has no sewer lines
YES. It is better to use a composting toilet to gather your poop and toss in the bin at Safeway. Or flush your poop into your septic system on a flood plain during high water events. Or send your poop away into a vast network of pipes and plants that run 24/7 to process the waste and dump it in a river. Are YOU still using one of the above methods for your poop? If so...do as you preach...do something to minimize you impact.
Never forget we now have so many people on this blue marble of ours that this type of waste management is all that is allowed in new construction in many parts of the world. Incinolet has been around for decades and is doing a good thing. climb down off your high horse...PLEASE!
This has more carbon emissions than if you were pooping in the first place. What is the point of this product really? Not environmentally friendly.
