Review For Separett Tiny Part II

Posted 06-21-2021 at 08:18 PM by SilverLife

Conclusion:
So let me tell you how persistent, I mean stupid I am. Yes, I have some loose rocks in my head. Yes, I was in so deep, I had to at least try to fix this pooaster. I tore the Tiny apart. I ordered another expensive german muf fin fan with new rubber anchors and a lower dbL rating-(34 to 28). And I added a $.96 rocker (marriage saver) switch. No, did not void the warranty because it was void already when I unplugged the old perfectly good $83 fan and installed the new also lower CFM $38 fan. AND, I'm not really worried because all of my phone calls and emails concerning the Tiny seat
opening combined with the doors hanging out and the fan noise, in said Tiny opening, went unanswered. So not having the chance to ask about a warranty or return, I am perfectly content with my purchase. I guess I'm most concerned that
we'll never have the chance to shoot the poo over coffee at the campground dump station ever again and that Ive given up my hobby of counting gravel to spend more intimate time with my Tiny waste container. Oh, and I've had to fall back on my previous career as a Compost Turner. At least I've got some experience.

The Ratings:
(0=No Dice-5=Smooth Move)
Size: 4.5
-.5 if lid was recessed in about 1/2” on either side, the side to side clearance could be reduced an inch. (Otherwise you loose the inch bc the side toilet edge has to be set back from a corner to allow the lid to be raised.) Overall, a tidy small
package w clean lines; it does not scream “fake composting toilet” when you enter the lavatory.
Ease of Use: 1
Well, it depends on what you had for dinner the night before. But in general, its a PITA, literally. Prepare for a lyfestyle change and possibly add up to an hour to your daily chores. Oh, I think I'd rather fold laundry...ask my wife how many
times I've done that in the last 19 yrs.
Clean up: 0.5
I mean, I think I'm being generous here. I could've said 0.
Water Consumption: 3
Uses approximately .5-1 gal/day, riinsing the urine tank and general cleaning, unless you're the kind who doesn't clean regularly.....
Value to Price: 1.5
Another generous score. Yes it has a lid with two ball bearings, but a white used 5 gal pickle bucket from a dumpster (thanks Ray Eklund for the tips) is completely free.
Olfactory Factor: 3**
**This is a conditional score, based on the power consumption to CFM ratio of the WC ceiling vent fan in your AS. If it is being installed in an AS, I recommend having that sucker serviced, tuned up and clear of dust or debris, because what goes
in the Viva Las Vegas Porcelain, stays in the Viva Las Vegas Porcelain, until you or another responsible party removes it.
Overall Rating: 2.25* out of 5
*This is not a Disposer Reports recommended best buy.

    Thanks for sharing. From your research did you find any other alternative that you would like to try as a superior option ?

    Looks like all are at the same level.

    Short answer- NO, I can't find another choice that does not fail in some other parameter. The NH has a crank handle that is obtrusive and steals precious sq in from the already cramped space. The AH needs coco coir, which is a filthy dusty mess and yet another product to buy and use. The others are totally ridiculous overpriced white 5 gal buckets IMO. After I removed the defective flapper doors, the tiny does function, but I still feel ripped off for the price. All my complaints to the mfg have gone unoticed. No response.

    Hi SilverLife, thanks a lot for this great review. I'm currently experiencing the same issues with the fan noise. Can you tell me which fan you opted for and if it's made a difference? Any chance you can share some links and quick instructions on replacing the fan? Thanks in advance for your help. Stay safe out there. Cheers~
