I recently bought this reliance toilet because it looked big enough, oval, and has a lid to keep smells contained, oh and it supports 300lbs according to the manufacturer, and it is foldable to save space!
At 308lbs this morning I decided to test out my weight on the reliance toilet.
At 6'1 I needed something sturdy and not too small so that I can actually use the darn thing.
As you can see in the pictures, I placed three plastic 6 inch bed platforms under each of the three legs of the reliance toilet. I had these 6 inch bed platforms laying around my house that are about 8 years old. I used these 6 inch bed platforms to bring the reliance toilet up off the ground 6 inches more than the reliance toilet would be, because I am a large man. Because these bed platforms hold perhaps 400-600lbs or more under a bed platform, I thought their shape would disperse the weight of the reliance toilet even further. I would assume cheap plastic platforms come in 2", 4", 6", and perhaps 8" depending on if you are tall or not.
At 6'1 and 308lbs this reliance toilet and bed platforms holds my weight and feels sturdy. I would never lean back onto the toilet lid.
The reliance toilet didn't come with any bags and I'm not sure that this one from Amazon is intended to come with any bags, but at $40 it was a steal!
The reliance toilet comes with scratches. I read about these in the reviews. These are nothing to worry about, the toilet is not used, but rather it appears that reliance buffs out any plastic imperfections that might cut or scrape us, so thank you reliance!
The toilet is designed for maximum weight and portability, so we sacrifice a little product assembly - just folding the legs out. Look up YouTube videos on how to fold the legs out, and how to fold the legs in. Because this item is unique, we simply need to learn how to fold the legs. Each leg is designed to use two hands to release the two plastic clips that hold each leg in. Familiarize yourself with the folding and unfolding of the legs before going out to limit future frustration. After learning how these legs and clips work, and practice a few times, it is extremely easy to use!
I picked up some biodegradable poop bags that fit this toilet so I didn't need the bags that sometimes come with this toilet at more cost. I'd rather bury biodegradable bags with a camp shovel than carry out feces, but that's only my take on that situation.
Great product so far! I will post if any updates if thing doesn't hold up!
