After its introduction to the US market a few years ago, the innovative Laveo Dry Flush “no smell” portable electric toilet is now available around the world.
Described by Dry Flush Australia as the “greatest portable toilet ever invented,” the waterless, odorless portable electric toilet automatically wraps the waste after “flushing” before concealing it in a lined container under the seat, according to a report.
“This incredible toilet works via a patented process that uses an electric motor, two fans, a proprietary mylar bagging system, and a healthy dose of physics and engineering,” said Dry Flush Australia CEO Adam Hudson, who also started up Gold Coast-based retro van builder Goldy Caravans earlier this year.
“Concealed under the toilet seat is a bagging cartridge that contains a single mylar bag that is more than five meters long.”
Hudson said that when the toilet is flushed, the toilet twists the bagging material from under the seat tightly around the waste, sealing in the smell before pulling down a fresh section of the bag ready for its next use.
No additional plumbing, chemicals, or water are required to use the toilet, and Dry Flush Australia said it will accept “almost anything,” including feminine products.
Each cartridge holds an average of 15 flushes before it’s removed and disposed of, and installing a new cartridge takes around one minute.
The fully portable toilet weighs around 13kg and is powered by an ‘ultra-long-life rechargeable battery that lasts up to three months between charges, or it can be plugged into other power sources.
The Laveo Dry Flush portable electric toilet is available online for AU$2300, with a three-pack of Laveo refill cartridges priced at AU$199 and a bottle of Pee Powder, which extends the life of the cartridge for AU$24.
