Which Cinderella Incinerating Toilet Is Right for You?

How to Choose the Right Toilet for Your Cottage, RV, or Off-Grid Home

If you have a camp, cottage, travel trailer, or any kind of property where the plumbing situation isn’t exactly simple, then you know the woes of trying to find the right toilet solution…

Preferably one that doesn’t cost tens of thousands of dollars for a septic system, isn’t high maintenance, and is reliable even in our cold Canadian winters.

Be honest – did you ever think you’d think this long and hard about a toilet?!

We get it.

We are outdoors people ourselves – often stealing away to our cottage, RV, or remote location for a weekend getaway.

And when all you need is some time to unplug, relax, and spend quality time with your family, the last thing you want to worry about is whether or not the toilet will hold up.

And don’t even get us started on the family members that constantly complain about the outhouse… every family has them.

Which is why having a toilet that doesn’t require water, bulking agents, and doesn’t smell… sounds like a fairytale.

And with a name like Cinderella, you might think it is. But we assure you, Cinderella incinerating toilets are very real and truly the best waterless toilet option there is.

However, you’re likely not a toilet expert, so it can be hard to choose which incinerating toilet is the right fit for you and your location. So, to help you choose the right one for your needs, here’s a clear breakdown of each Cinderella Incineration Toilet model and what sets them apart.

At the bottom of this article you’ll find a helpful table comparing the different models. First, we’ll walk you through some simple questions to narrow down your search.

What is an incinerating toilet, and how does it work?

An incinerating toilet is a waterless toilet that burns waste at high temperatures, turning it into a small amount of sterile ash. There’s no plumbing, no septic system, and no composting – just simple use and occasional ash emptying.

Do you need a toilet for urine only, or for everything?

That’s right – we’re getting straight into the intimate stuff here! Without getting too personal here, the first thing to consider is whether or not you need your waterless toilet to handle liquid waste only, or if you prefer a solution that can do it all.

If you just need a “Piddler’s Perch”, as we like to call it, then the Cinderella Unisex Urinal is a great option. This toilet is for liquid waste only (no solid waste or toilet paper), is built for both men and women, and doesn’t incinerate the waste.

Cinderella Waterless Urinal is best for cottages or camps that need something for urine only to limit the amount of flushes on your septic.

However, if you’re looking for a toilet that can handle all types of human waste (no separation required), toilet paper, and even feminine hygiene products, read on.

Do you need an incinerating toilet for an RV or travel trailer?

Your next consideration is whether or not your toilet will be on wheels. In other words… do you have a travel trailer, RV, or other rolling home?

If so, your choice is easy: Cinderella Travel is the only model specifically designed for RVs and travel trailers, removing the need for a black water tank. Imagine all the places you could go!

It runs primarily on propane, requiring a simple 12V DC, 4 amp electric supply (which most people connect to solar or battery).

Cinderella Travel is best for RVs, travel trailers, or camper vans, where you need a toilet on the go.

Do you need an on-grid or off-grid incinerating toilet?

The final question in deciding which incinerating toilet is right for you, is whether you need something on-grid or off-grid.

While many of the customers we serve in Central Canada have cottages that are on the grid, a lot of them are truly unplugged with no hydro at all.

If your location is off-grid, your solution is the Cinderella Freedom model. Like the Cinderella Travel, it is powered by propane and requires a simple 12V DC, 4 amp electric supply (which most people connect to a marine battery with a solar panel). It is also compatible with 120v AC power source with our adaptor kit.

Cinderella Freedom is best for off-grid toilets, remote cabins, camps, or bunkies.

If your cottage or camp has hydro, then your options open up to our two electric models: Cinderella Comfort and Cinderella Premium.

The advantage of the Cinderella Comfort (electric) Incineration Toilet

The biggest advantage of Cinderella Comfort is its closed air system, so the unit does not affect the room temperature. It also means there is no affect from bathroom fans, kitchen exhaust fans and other appliances that extract air.

The Comfort model is also a bit more flexible when it comes to the exhaust pipe (it allows for two 45 elbows and has a higher max height).

Cinderella Comfort offers a more energy-efficient solution, which contributed to its “Best in Test” rating by Testfakta in both 2014 and 2018.

Cinderella Comfort is best for cottages or camps with power where energy efficiency, zero odour, and simplicity matter most.

How the new Cinderella Premium Incineration Toilet Stands Out

Cinderella Premium has the same technology and capacity as Comfort but stands out with its sleek, modern design, giving it a true premium feel.

Beyond its impressive style, Premium also includes several upgraded features for enhanced convenience and ease of use, such as:

• Soft-close lid for a smooth and silent closing.
• Teflon-coated bowl to ensure that the bowl liner slides effortlessly down into the incineration chamber.
• Advanced digital menu with additional smart features, including:
  • Incineration cycle counter and timer to keep track of usage and estimated time left in a cycle.
  • Steam cleaning program for easier maintenance.
  • Additional safety – Front hatch is locked and can be opened from the display menu.

If you’re looking for that top-tier comfort and design to really elevate your cottage lifestyle, the Cinderella Premium is the perfect fit for you.
