I love this kind of ads, no sound effect, no misleading statement, no corporate slave trying to tell you they care about you bla bla bla and all other sweet talking, just a man trying to sell you something offering you a solution you might want to used and you might need in a certain situation, guiding you through his product, it selling point, weakness and expectation how his product will work, perfect 10/10.
Wow - thank you for such a positive review. We certainly appreciate the feedback and will keep this in mind for our future videos. Have a great day!
I laughed when he said, resigned, I've never talked about poop so much in my life! Haha but agree not offensive at all!
$4,500.00 is a bit pricey............until you compare it to the cost (and permitting headaches) of installing a septic system.
I think the prices are quoted CAD. it’s quite a bit lower in USD.
I certainly hope the $4500 is CAD vs US! These definitely make more financial sense vs new (or updating old) septic systems, especially w/more places no longer allowing septics!
@@JamesG1126 True statement. However, a septic system is tough to install in an RV.
Love how honest and dignified he is about this "uncomfortable " subject
Number 1 solution to your number 2 problem 🤣 I love it!❣️
This sounds like something I actually won't mind using and cleaning. Glad this is an option!
"never talked so much about poop in my life, but here we are..." lol
I laughed really hard too😂😂😂
And he's not a shit talker either, he knows his shit.
I didn't even know this was a thing, Im converting a trailer into a toy hauler and with this I wouldn't have to plum a black tank, I already got propane. Great video!
Thank you for the compliment! The new Cinderella Travel is now available in the USA and coming this summer to Canada. That model is designed specifically for RV's, sprinter vans, and other mobile applications. www.thecabindepot.com/products/cinderella-travel-incineration-toilet
@@TheCabinDepotLtd Wait...what??? So is the "Travel" a better application for my van? Or are there benefits to having the "Comfort" in a van build?
@@mikefranks4528 The Travel is the only UL certified incineration toilet available in North America designed specifically for RV's and other mobile applications. The Comfort and Freedom models are designed for stationary applications. We have heard of customers installing the Comfort in a van build as they prefer to use the direct vent & electric version, but they are voiding warranty by doing so.
I love this guy so to the point and honest and knowledgeable
After all that discussion about the "size of the deposits", I understand why the old-time nightsoil cart drivers were "Gong miners". 😂
"I've never talked so much about poop." LOL. 60-100 flushes for a 20gal propane tank - that's the first time someone has said this. Cool.
Does the Travel model need to be roof-vented, or can it be vented to the side in a camper van via flexible pipe?
They should have a vacuum outlet for when it’s time to clean.
Wish it had an automatic clean button for everything, vents and so on, with no brushes needed. Like that everything turns to ash, easy dump.
This is the best thing since sliced bread!! Cheaper than digging septic and the rest of pipes etc
Thank you for the comment. When traditional septic isn't practical or possible, Cinderella is the solution. We like to emphasize this point, because there is no toilet solution today as convenient as a traditional flushing toilet. Most North Americans have become accustomed to that simplicity - you just flush and it "goes away" without another thought about it or significant maintenance. However, if a municipal sewage connection isn't available, or when the applications doesn't allow for the installation of traditional septic for whatever reason, Cinderella in our opinion would be the best option!
Was specifically looking to see if there was a gas version. Thank you!
There are 2 standard household models available: Cinderella Comfort, which is a 240vAC electric, and Cinderella Freedom (formerly known as Cinderella Gas) which uses propane for the incineration process as well as a small 12v DC power requirement to operate the control screen and blower.
A negative pressure ventilation system for the top of the unit may be needed as the smell could be bad.
There is no smell when installed correctly. And the Cinderella Comfort is a closed system, meaning it uses outside air for combustion so it's not affected by negative air pressure inside the building.
Wow incl. womens hygiene products! Thank you for mentioning this!!!
Yes! Something that always gets missed.. probably because most other solutions have no way of disposing of that, but an incinerator would. Appreciate that, definitely adding this to my list for my future tiny build.❤
I'm confused about how the urinal unit works, where does the liquid waste go?
Also, what happens when you want to use the toilet unit while the incineration is still ongoing?
The urinal is made to connect to an outside drain or 'french drain' application. The urinal is designed to be odor free and reduces the need to incinerate after every use. Also, if you need to use the toilet itself when it's already incinerating, it simply pauses so you can use it and resumes incineration when complete. You can repeat this process several times per day without any issues as the unit has many built-in safety and operating features for this purpose.
Sounds like the perfect toilet to flush the divorce papers down 😂
Nice way to keep the rivers clean and to fertilize the lands
Looking at efficiency it would be better if you could use it multiple times before firing the incinerator to save propane that would be best in my opinion using a significant amount of energy for one number 2 over time for off gridders could really add up
That is a good point and one that was considered, but the design today is specific to single use at a time due to 2 reasons: hygiene and certifications. To achieve the only fully UL and NSF certified toilets available in North America, you can't "collect" human waste unprocessed in a primary open container as such prior to incineration. To somewhat address the point you've asked about, the Cinderella Urinal is designed as an option to accommodate the #1 (being the most frequent requirement) so that it reduces the need for the Cinderella Comfort or Freedom incineration process to save energy (electricity or propane respectively) and wear. For those off-grid without a large solar system to accommodate the Comfort model, the Freedom consumes only 180g of propane per incineration cycle. There are other videos that touch on the installation, use, and requirements such as this one done by Jordan Jonas: ua-cam.com/video/UHWpgodBAUc/v-deo.html
Can they be used in a wet bath? As in, are they water proof/resistant?
There's a UA-cam video that has one of these in a wet bath.
What’s preventing me from camping is really toilets, composts and black tank or cassette simply won’t work for me with the yak factor. Glad this is an option.
You will be happy to know the Cinderella Travel is coming to the USA in the spring of 2023. This will be a UL certified model specifically designed for RV's to replace the black water tank :) www.thecabindepot.com/collections/cinderella-incinerating-toilets
Wow had no idea incinerator toilets came in propane. So intriguing
That's right :) The Cinderella line of incineration toilets come in both electric or propane options and are the only UL and NSF certified models available in North America today. The new Cinderella Travel operates on propane also, and is UL certified and designed specifically for RV's and mobile applications to replace the old black water tank systems.
An automatic liner dispenser on a roll built into the unit would be good. So no need to handle bags.
Not a bad idea (and never say never) but adding such a complex feature would be no small task + I could see such a feature "easily" raising the price tag by at least $500+
I have a travel trailer and I plan on having it hooked up full time and only moving it when necessary. But I'd like to look into getting one of these. Can the propane model incinerate as fast as electric? Just curious for deciding which model should I get one of these. I just don't want to deal with a black water tank for the potential nasty problems it can have. Ew 😅.
I'd start the incineration cycle once a day just before going to bed. Just so it has a chance to do its thing while I sleep.
I'd need to have my current toilet removed but keep it so when I go to sell the trailer one day to upgrade to another I can put the original toilet back and keep the incinerator toilet to put in the next one. Don't want to give it up as these toilets are expensive. I know nothing about installing these things either so I'd need professional help to make sure it's done right.
The new Cinderella Travel is UL certified and designed specifically for RV's and mobile applications to replace the mess & fuss of black water tanks, so the Travel sounds like a good solution for you. The installation isn't difficult for DIY'ers but we always recommend using a qualified installer for warranty purposes. And they are designed to incinerate after each use. If you can send us an e-mail to info@thecabindepot.com or call 1-844-603-4743 someone would be happy to discuss your project and see if there are installers close to you :)
A question about period products - a lot of them contain plastics, would you need to have a talk with guests etc about plastic content of their products 😅, as to what can incinerate? Like, are there some that just can't be incinerated?
That is a very good question. The Cinderella line of incineration toilets are the only UL and NSF certified solution available in North America today. They are specifically designed to incinerate human waste including all paper or wood-based products including such as toilet paper, tissues, pads and tampons. Of course there are some applicators still made of plastic, but if they are put into the Cinderella they will also be incinerated with only ash remaining. While not recommended (you are of course burning a small volume of plastic but releasing chemicals by doing so) it won't harm the system unless done regularly as it can prematurely clog the catalytic converter.
I’m surprised that the urinal portion doesn’t have a bidet seat attachment.
That's a good idea, but the intent of this design is to provide a waterless solution for areas that have limited access to water
Is there a weight limit for people sitting on it?
The Cinderella Freedom and Comfort are rated for up to a 440lb capacity.
I think the technical term is Shystem. :D
20-30/30-40 cents/flush -- does this include the cost of the toilet bags?
Yes, at the current price of propane including the liner cost, that is the average. However, that can be +/- depending on propane costs in the future.
I saw a video posted by a woman in Svalbard, using electricity, having both the incinerator toilet and the urinal, costing approximately 50 cents per use, total. That was the highest per use
/flush price I’ve been able to find.
My husband and I are totally leaning this way for our off grid camp needs. We have a 9KW solar system recently installed. I'm curious do you have to incinerate after every use or can you incinerate once daily? Wondering if it makes a difference with power usage.
Hello there, thank you for watching and for your question. It is recommended that you incinerate the “biomass” after every use. For off-grid locations it is advised that you purchase the Cinderella Freedom(propane) model as the power requirements are quite minimal. You only need 1.3 Amps on a 12V DC power source during incineration. Your solar system would easily handle this requirement. The toilet has a special sensor that would dictate how long the incineration process should last. This means that the toilet only incinerates as long as it needs to to ensure a fully incinerated waste in the end. I hope this helps and if you have anymore questions please reach out. 1-844-603-4743. Thank you
You can’t let it pile up!! The paper of shit and urine will leak or break and RUIN your machine!! Just use your common sense.
@@TheCabinDepotLtd make a unit that is designed to work like a night potty so people can do the burn cycle when there is sun / solar power. Could be interesting.
@@TheCabinDepotLtd Nine thousand watts per hour during ideal daylight.
9 KW of solar is enough to incinerate many, many, many heaps plus some more.
ok this might be weird to some , but have a habit of cleaning my back with water after I'm done . is that ok ?
That's actually more common than you may think. And the answer is yes, the unit will incinerate any wipes and evaporate the water used.
Demo would be more complete if you had demonstrated cleaning the unit.
That a interesting subject on #2 😮 4500 ouch 😳 something to think about like he said septic tank can be very expensive i like to know on 1 yr reviews to 2 & 3 all products has a cons what are the cons
Cinderella incineration toilets have been around now for more than 3 decades with installations in countries all over the world. Designed and manufactured in Norway to the highest standards, they are the only fully UL and NSF certified incineration toilets available in North America today. A 3 year standard residential use warranty applies. Cinderella is a septic solution for when a connection to municipal sewers, or the installation of an independent septic systems just isn't possible or practical. Cinderella is an excellent solution and likely the closest experience to a 'regular' flush toilet that you will experience when compared to other products such as composting, urine diverting, etc. And we aren't biased - we use and offer all forms of off-grid toilets to our customers! :) However, I would like to point there is nothing as convenient as a flush toilet. If you have connection to a municipal sewer system, or are able to install a septic tank & septic field in an off-grid property, although that will cost more money, it will allow for the best 'experience'. If you have more questions, feel free to give us a call anytime at 1-844-603-4743 and we'd be happy to answer!
I’m straight up buying this
I don't know if anyone can answer this, in a question below it was said that this model is for residential application only, does that residential application include mobile/tiny homes?
Hello, there are many customers who install these units within mobile & tiny homes with great success. Sometimes certain steps may need to be taken during installation to ensure that the toilet has the proper amount of air flow coming through the ventilation for the toilet to properly incinerate the biomass to a safe and sterile grey ash. The smaller the room the more important the fresh air intake becomes. I hope this helps.
@@TheCabinDepotLtd - Interesting, so does this mean the Cinderella can't be installed in a RV/Motorhome, even if the RV bathroom has a dedicated roof vent/roof fan(?)
@@__WJK__ Customers have installed both the Comfort (electric) and Freedom (LPG) models in RV's, but they cannot be installed 'correctly' as most RV's (unless they are parked full time) can't meet the ventilation requirement. The new Cinderella Travel is designed specifically for RV's and comes with the required ventilation. This model is now available though certified Cinderella dealers in the USA who provide installation services. The Travel will be available to the DIY market later this year to both the USA and Canada.
What is max number of flushes before one can start the burn cycle?
You would 'flush' each time, meaning the cycle would start immediately. You can interrupt the cycle at any time, and it will resume when the next user is finished.
@@TheCabinDepotLtd thank you for such a quick response. Is this also 60 to 100 flushes per 20lb propane tank?
@@mikefranks4528 You're welcome :) And the answer is yes. It will fluctuate depending on the composition and size of the deposit
What happens if the kids forget to use that paper liner bag, can I just clean it out with a spray bottle of detergent and water… flush and burn???
That's correct!
Is it possible to conserve a bit energy by "flushing" liquid-only waste (with liner) to the burn chamber a couple of times over several hours before starting an incineration cycle? Or are there safety/sanitation concerns with that approach? I realize there will probably still be a similar amount of biomass to incinerate overall, just wondering if there might be some energy savings by taking advantage of fewer chamber warm-ups and maybe some natural evaporation through the venting. You mentioned multiple people being able to use it without waiting for an incineration cycle to finish, so the idea does seem feasible, just not sure if it's impractical for any other reasons. Thanks for the great video!
Hello James, Thank you for the question. It is advised by the manufacturer that you incinerate all waste directly after making a "deposit". The liners that you would use are really well designed and are leak resistant. Holding urine within them for an extended period of time could deteriorate the liner material overtime and cause some issues. Please note that the Cinderella incinerating toilets can detect how long it should operate based upon the size of the deposits. This makes the toilet very efficient. The most cost effective solution to curbing your energy or propane consumption would be to use the complimentary unisex urinal. This is a waterless option that can help mitigate the amount of power or propane you use. Thank you again for reaching out and please let us know if you have any questions.
Urea is great resource. Collect it separately and use it on your compost pile.
Pardon my ignorance but where does the urine go with the urinal model?@@TheCabinDepotLtd
@@TheKMah Great question. The urinal drains using a pipe through the floor or wall with an included odor seal from Cinderella.
@@TheCabinDepotLtd but where does the pipe go? Does it just empty onto the lawn or does it go into a septic?
I can use the first model for number one and two and feminine products? Right?
How long does it take again for electric model and propane model to fully incinerate each flush?
You can use any of our incineration toilet models (Freedom, Comfort, or Travel) for all waste including feminine hygiene products.
The duration of the incineration cycle depends on the size of the deposit. For example, urine doesn't take very long to evaporate, but a #2 would take longer. Generally speaking, between 40 and 50 minutes. It's important to note that other users can interrupt that cycle if they need to go to the restroom, and it will resume again when they are finished.
Does the Freedom offer the electric option as well as propane or is it just propane? Also, we see you have a bundle option on your website. Can we customize our bundle? My husband & I are highly considering getting both an incinerating toilet & urinal.
There are 2 models of Cinderella incineration toilet available at the moment: The Freedom which is an LPG model which uses propane for incineration and a small amount of 12vDC to operate the exhaust fan and control panel. The Comfort is the electric model and requires 220-240vAC to operate. The Freedom is designed for use off-grid, the Comfort is ideal for customers who are connected to the grid. If you visit our website you'll see the bundles, and you can also order with various other options "À la carte" so to speak. I'll include the link here, and you can always call us at 1-844-603-4743 if you're prefer to speak to someone about your particular project :) www.thecabindepot.com/collections/cinderella-incinerating-toilets
@@TheCabinDepotLtd Thanks for your quick response!
You’re very welcome !
I am a little worried about failure ..What is the warrenty on such a unit as this ...As with any gas fired appliance especially propane what is the service cycle ?
Good question. The Cinderella line of incineration toilets come with an industry leading 3-year warranty. This model is UL and NSF certified, which is again the only incineration toilet with these certifications today. Like any appliance, for warranty to apply they need to be installed correctly and maintained. Emptying the ash bin regularly, and performing the cleaning as outlined in the owners manual will result in optimal performance and reduce premature wear & maintenance. You can find the owner manuals using the links above which outlines the cleaning schedule in more detail.
“But here we are!”
I take it uses to much energy for a solar set up in a conversion van?
There have been customers purchase and use the electric Comfort for that purpose, but they are designed to be a stationary model and warranty void if installed in a van as it can’t satisfy the specific venting requirement. The Cinderella Travel is designed specifically for RV’s, vans, and other mobile applications. It uses LPG and 12v to operate the control board. It’s also more compact and venting designed for this purpose, and the only UL certified model available in North America. Feel free to reach out anytime if you have any other questions via our email, chat, or call 1-844-603-4743 :)
@@TheCabinDepotLtd I just found and watched a video showing how it can be done in a van. It was a Cinderella toilet. Thank you.
We are aware of videos that show the Comfort model being used in vans. Just know that warranty is void and the performance may not be the same since the ventilation requirements can’t be properly met. We do not endorse using Comfort for any other purpose except stationary applications.
The propane model cannot be used with natural gas right?
Hello - good question! And you are correct. The reason is that Natural Gas is normally available to urban areas that are also connected to the electrical grid. The Cinderella Comfort is the electric model and designed for that purpose. For off-grid applications, the propane (LPG) model is available for stationary applications such as cabins or off-grid homesteads, or the Travel model which is made for mobile applications such as RV's, sprinter vans, boats, etc. Since natural gas isn't "portable" and requires connection to a natural gas line, propane is used and the Freedom and Travel models are configured exclusively to use propane only. I hope that helps!
A lot of electric energy for a camper van. How much lithium batteries needed to have this?
The Cinderella Travel would be used for mobile applications such as camper vans, RV's, sprinter vans, etc and uses LPG for incineration, not electricity. The only electrical requirement is a small amount of 12vDC to operate the control board and exhaust fan. The Cinderella Travel will be available in North America starting January, 2023 :)
Need one for in house 110V or 220v. Like to have some idea what they cost. I currently am using a Incinolet.
is ventilation can just face behind or under bacause I want use In RV don’t know is working properly
The Cinderella Comfort (electric) and Freedom (LPG) are stationary models and not designed for use in RV's. The Cinderella Travel was released this year and designed specifically for use in mobile applications. Please visit our website to learn more about this model, or give us a call anytime at 1-844-603-4743 and our team would be happy to answer any questions you may have or give product recommendations for your specific application :)
I would like to use this in a campervan. Is it ok to use lets say you wake up at night to do whatever. And than to only turn it on when you are supposed to wake up? I'm not a fan of leaving my inverter running hot when I'm sleeping.
Great question. There's actually a model designed specifically for mobile applications such as camper-vans / RV's called "Cinderella Travel". That model uses LPG for incineration, and just a small amount of 12vDC to operate the exhaust fan and control panel. That would be more appropriate for use and is designed specifically for that purpose. The Cinderella Comfort (electric) or Freedom (LPG) shown in this video are meant for stationary applications such as cabins or homesteads. Although some customers have installed them in mobile applications, that's not what their primary design is meant for. Cinderella Travel is now available though select dealers in the USA, and will come to all of North America in spring 2023.
Amazing product !
What about toilet paper? I’m assuming that shouldn’t be a problem…
That’s correct !
Game changer this is
Word on the street is you have a 'mobile' unit coming for propane and Vanlife. Any word when?
Hi there - the release of the Cinderella Travel is still pending but expected to be released later this year or early next year. So... soon! :)
I'm happy to say that Cinderella Travel will finally become available to North American customers in January. You will begin to see listings from dealers first who provide installation services soon :) Stay tuned!
HOLY COW. 150 USES BEFORE EMPTYING.
It varies depending on, shall we say, the type and volume of the deposits ;) but since the units are UL and NSF certified they will completely incinerate the waste leaving only sterile ash in the bin which would be emptied as needed.
How many times can you use the toilet before incineration? i.e. Do you have to incinerate every time you use it, or can you wait until 2 or 3 people have used it?
We have heard of some customers 'collecting' 2-3 deposits over the course of a full day before starting the incineration process, but it is not recommended.That is because the liner can become saturated and stick to the stainless steel door preventing it from sliding properly into the chamber. In most situations, the user would use the toilet and close the lid, and then press the button to begin the the incineration process. If another user needs to use it, they simply open the lid and the incineration process pauses. When finished, they close the lid and the process continues until incineration is complete. All Cinderella units have sensors which detect moisture content and ensures the incineration process is complete regardless of how many users may visit in a 24hr period. There would be very little reason from an efficiency perspective to 'collect' deposits and wait to incinerate as the cycle would simply last longer (and consume more energy) to ensure the entire volume was properly incinerated anyway. I hope that helps answer your question!
@@TheCabinDepotLtd Thank you! I'm looking at toilet options for an offgrid narrowboat, which relies on solar/engine/battery for power. I can see now that 'saving up' deposits for one single burn would use the same amount of power as individual smaller burns.
Thank you for a very comprehensive reply.
Would this work in an enclosed cargo trailer build? Cinderella comfort with a power source running a yeti 6000 watt solar power station is my thought process.
Hello Alan - The comfort is typically used for grid-connected customers as it requires a 240vAC connection. The Yeti 6000 also has 120vAC output only. The Cinderella Freedom is an LPG model and designed for off-grid use, requiring only a small amount of 12vDC power to operate the display and exhaust fan during operation. Lastly, both the Comfort and Freedom models are designed for stationary use (i.e. homes, cottages, or cabins). If the cargo trailer was being parked, you could install the required venting to meet warranty requirements. Otherwise, for mobile applications the Cinderella Travel is scheduled for a 2023 release in North America and is designed for that purpose.

How I came here, I do not know. I only know that I want a Cinderella incinerator toilet. I told my wife, she asked what we need such a thing for. I said that I didn’t know, I only know that I want one.
I'm convinced and look forward to making my first incineration toilet purchase but do you have any thoughts on the propane models? Can I assume that a 220 electric would be less expensive to run than a 110? Also, I have some reservations about size and price. I don't spend a lot of time sitting on toilets but I want to be comfortable when I do. Seat size would affect comfort. Are the seats standard size or smaller? And finally, my research shows that a propane toilet sells for around $5k where the incinolet electric is only around $2600. This price difference makes me question the quality of the electric. It is true that you get what you pay for.
All great questions!
Cinderella today offer 3 different models in North America: Cinderella Freedom (LPG) and Cinderella Comfort (220v) which are for stationary applications and the only fully UL & NSF certified models available, and the Cinderella Travel which is designed for mobile applications and again the only UL certified model of it's kind.
The amount of energy required to properly incinerate waste is the same regardless of the energy source used. For example, comparing apples to apples, it would take 2x as long using a 110v source for each incineration cycle vs 220v. Using a lower voltage reduces the maximum heating capacity at any given time. Think of an electric clothes dryer for example, all standard size residential dryers are 220v. It's important to mention that Cinderella Comfort connects only to 220v for the same reason. The Cinderella Comfort also has closed combustion system, meaning it draws in fresh air from the outside and important to note when comparing to other manufacturers. That model is always recommended if you have access to grid power and it has a lower up-front cost. Some exceptions of course can be made for customers who have larger off-grid solar power systems with 220v inverters and ample battery capacity available.
For off-grid cabins and homesteads, the Cinderella Freedom (LPG) is used. That model is identical in size to the Comfort, but uses LPG as the primary energy source for incineration, and a standard 20lb BBQ style tank can provide 75 'flushes' on average (although most customers will use a dual tank setup, or 100lb tanks for convenience). The Freedom then uses a small amount of 12vDC power to operate the control panel and exhaust fan during operation, usually supplied by a standard 12v deep cycle battery or adapter.
The Comfort and Freedom toilet size itself is slightly larger than a conventional flush toilet, and the seat itself is about the same size as a normal toilet would have, but with a slightly different shape.
Compared to other incineration toilet products available today, I can say quite comfortably there is no comparison when it comes to build quality, performance, certifications, or warranty. The distributor does a good job of outlining the differences if you visit this link offgriddistribution.com/collections/cinderella-incinerating-toilets-accessories
Lastly - for customers who do not have access to municipal septic or the installation of a septic system isn't practical or possible, the Cinderella line of incineration toilet solutions would in our opinion be the best option. But I'd like to point out that no type of alternative toilet (composting, urine diverting, or incinerating) is as convenient as a flush toilet. All require some level of care and maintenance.
I you have any other questions, please give us a call anytime at 1-844-603-4743 and someone would be happy to help :)
Is the Cinderella splash proof for use in an RV bathroom/shower? Splashes from the shower not...
Yes, but we'd recommend the use of the Cinderella Travel which is designed for RV's and will be released later in 2022 or early 2023

How long does it run after an average use?
Hi there, thanks for the question. The length of the incineration process can vary depending on the size of the “deposit”. The Cinderella incinerating toilet is able to detect how long it should run automatically. Most cycles can vary from 30-60 minutes. That number can also vary depending on whether or not the toilet has been used again since the cycle began. Adding more deposits will lengthen the time of the process. If someone needs to use the washroom while an incinerating cycle is ongoing they only need to lift the toilet lid. There is a magnet sensor that is within the lid that will pause the cycle when the lid is lifted. This allows multiple people to use the toilet during a cycle. To continue the cycle you only need to put the lid back down . I hope this helps. Please let us know if you have any other questions.
How much time till the next person can use the toilet.
Good question - the answer is... you don't have to wait :) If someone uses the toilet, and someone else comes in afterwards and the unit is still incinerating, they only need to lift the lid and the incineration process will pause. The new person can use the toilet, and when they close the lid the process will resume. The advanced safety features and superior build quality means that even when the process is interrupted, there is no excess heat or smell to worry about for any users that follow.
What is the average lifespan of the toilet? Thank you!
Hello Andrea, thank you for the question. Cinderella has been manufacturing these toilets for 25 years now. They are very well engineered and designed with the highest quality components. It is not uncommon for people to still be using the same toilet for 15+ years. With proper maintenance and upkeep there is no reason that the lifespan of the toilet couldn’t last far beyond this. All working parts and mechanisms can be replaced over time quite easily, prolonging the life of the toilet.
@@TheCabinDepotLtd - So (worst-case scenario) which internal companant is the highest wear item that "might" eventually need to be replaced in 15-20 years time?
@@__WJK__ The worst-case scenario is that the toilet is installed incorrectly. Problems are rare in the first few years of operation, but if the ventilation is not completed as required, the airflow though the system won't be sufficient and cause parts such as the heating element in the electric version to prematurely wear out, catalytic converter will plug up faster and require more frequent cleaning, and overall performance of combustion is reduced resulting in more energy used to complete an incineration cycle. Improper installation aside - the Cinderella is a machine. Just a like a car there will always be wear items to replace. The amount of time before these parts require changing will vary depending on the number of users, frequency of use, if it's a seasonal cabin or full-time occupied home for example. But generally speaking, the electric version will require the heating element to be replaced every few years. Think of an electric oven for example. This could be 2-3 years if used regularly, or 5-7+ years in seasonal use applications. The LPG model uses sensors and thermocouples, which just like any gas appliance will need replaced in time. The key to performance is proper installation, and regular maintenance as prescribed in the manual such as running a steam cleaning cycle to keep the converter clean and system running efficient.
So the smell go out to the chimney and the bathroom?
Good question! Cinderella incinerating toilets use a specialized combustion chamber including catalyst which is monitored by various sensors. When installed properly, only the exhaust from combustion exits the pipe, and there is no smell.
But why is it almost $5K?
Great question - The Cinderella line of incineration toilets are designed to be a solution where tradition septic isn't possible or feasible. They are a working machine, designed specifically to efficiently and safely eliminate human waste. They have been manufactured for more than 25 years now in Norway, and have an extensive track record of high performance. They are also the only UL and NSF certified models available in North America today to meet any municipal or environmental approval. While some may view a traditional 'flush' toilet that costs around $250, they forget that it's connected in the cities to a massive sewer and septic treatment infrastructure which their taxes pay for. Outside of the city or off-grid applications, that same toilet needs to connect to a septic tank and septic field, which depending on the location can cost $15k+ to install and maintain. People have become very use to 'flushing' and not think about where their waste is going. With Cinderella, no water is required and only sterile ash remains.
What does the connector for 12v propane toilet look like? Can it plug into a cigarette lighter? What is your return rate on this product? How long has this company been making these toilets?
Hello Richard - for the Freedom model, the 12v connection is a simple pair of wires, (+) and (-) which connect to the battery or battery bank. You can also use a 120vAC adapter if you have a larger off-grid power system using an inverter. Cinderella have been manufacturing incineration toilets for 25 years and are well known around the world as the most advanced & fully certified incineration toilet system available. We have a return policy posted on our website for all products, but have been developing a Cinderella dealer network for local sales & service. If you aren't in an area covered by an authorized dealer today, we can ship direct to your location and provide full technical & warranty support as needed. If you have any other questions about Cinderella incineration toilet products, give us a call anytime at 1-844-603-4743 and someone would be happy to help!
Are there any brands that don't need a liner before you do your business?
For incineration toilets, no. They all require a liner which is used to 'collect' and easily slide the deposit into the incineration chamber. Not using a liner would require a thorough cleaning of the stainless steel door opening after each use.
@@TheCabinDepotLtd Thanks for the reply :)
I know I wouldn't want skid marks all over my toilet bowl.
Is there a smell associated with this incinerator process(propane version)
There are no smells or foul odors when installed and used correctly :)
Does anyone have the electrical schematic? 12VDC - how is the power hooked up?
Hello there, Thank you for reaching out with your question. The 12VDC power connection cable is connected to the power control board within the toilet. The other end of the cable has two stripped wires, POS & NEG, that can be connected directly to a 12V DC battery power source, DC Fuse Block or with an AC to DC adapter/converter. The power control board controls the burner fan, sensors, blower fan, display and ignition. Typically, you can expect to see the toilet draw around 4.3 amps of power during incineration. I hope this helps and please let us know if you have any other questions. :)
What is it made from (material)
How many incineration’s would a 20 pound propane tank get me? ballpark of Cours?
The Cinderella incineration toilet uses sensors to determine the moisture content and adjusts the cycle length and temperatures as required. However, based on our experience and feedback from customers, a standard 20lb propane tank would provide between 70 and 100 incineration cycles. I hope that helps!
I am very interested in owning an incinerator toilet. Because I am considering my options to own a tiny home of some kind, including the possibility of owning a shipping container home. But, the incinerator urinal seems like it can become very confusing. Especially, for young children, older people, and drunkards. I have no doubt that the urinal incinerator can be confused with the electric or the gas incinerator for some people; particularly in an emergency. In which case, the urinal incinerator would be waste of money and time, if you can also use the electric or gas incinerator for the same purpose.
Hello, Thank you for your comment, it is much appreciated. You are 100% correct that the Cinderella Comfort (Electric) and the Cinderella Freedom (Propane) can incinerate both urine and #2 waste. This means that either toilet will work for any application by itself. The Cinderella Unisex Waterless urinal does not incinerate the urine. The design and application of the urinal would be similar to that of other items that would need to attach to a drainage system. The Urinal is used to supplement the incinerating toilet and can help mitigate the amount of electricity or propane used. The Cinderella Urinal is also ideal for high traffic areas. The superior baffle and gasket system ensures that there are no odours. The Urinal helps reduce costs and will certainly pay for itself overtime. We also have "How to Use" diagrams that many of our valued customers use in their rental properties, places in high traffic scenarios or for general company that may not be used to alternative toilet solutions. The urinal and incinerating toilet differs greatly in design and would be difficult to confuse one with the other. Thanks again for the comments. Feel free to reach out to sales@thecabindepot.com if you would like to learn more about the differences and applications for the Cinderella line of products.
I want to add a bidet (water pick for my butt) to a camper toilet - possibly on a F150 hybrid with 7500 watt power. :) Do people use these in campers? Can you pause the cycle for when you are running down the road? How are the air vents affected by 65 mph wind?
We've never been asked about adding a bidet... so you may need to reach out by phone and ask for our technical expert regarding that matter. However, I can say that the new Cinderella Travel is more suitable for mobile applications such as campers as it's designed for that purpose. And yes, you can pause the cycle by lifting the lid, do your business, and the incineration cycle will resume. And as a closed air combustion system, wind does not affect combustion provided the installation is done correctly.
Hmmm maybe let my “landlord” know 😊
Love it! To pricey for me.
Thank you for the comment and we're glad you love our Cinderella! :) As the only UL and NSF certified incineration toilet available in North America, Cinderella is meant as an alternative to traditional septic whereever it's not practical or available. With that in mind, this is a technologically advanced machine and quite revolutionary as it requires no water to operate. So while it may appear expensive when compared to a porcelain toilet (that has to connect to a septic or sewer system), or compared to other types of off-grid toilets such as composting which requires regular maintenance and generates odors, the Cinderella performs the entire function of a septic system by collecting and incinerating all waste with just sterile ash remaining.
What happens if a guest forgets to use a liner?😵
Good question and an easy answer - the unit will function as normal, but your guest will need to wipe / clean anything that remains which hasn’t slid off of the trap door with wipes and cleaners. The purpose of the liner is to ensure the entire deposit slides directly into the incineration chamber without any need to clean afterwards. There’s also the possibility of material like toilet paper jamming between the door and chamber frame if the liner isn’t used which will cause an error and the unit will not start incineration until cleared.
How much are the liners?
At present, a 500 pack of liners is $69.99 which translates to 13.4 cents per liner.
Can you modify the toliet seat on the unit?
Sorry, but unfortunately no. Due to the safety mechanisms attached to the seat, it would be quote difficult to modify / customize.
@@TheCabinDepotLtd Thanks for the reply you guys are awesome!
@@pandabear194 You're welcome - and thank you :)
What if say, your drunk friend forgets to put the liner in first, and GOES all over the bowl? What then?
Good question as we all have drunken friends visiting from time to time! The unit will still function normally - the bowl will open and the contents will be incinerated safely. When your friend wakes up embarrassed and hungover, you make them clean off the bowl with moist paper towel and a mild cleaning agent. They probably won't make the same mistake again 😉
Work in a traveling vehicle?
The Cinderella Travel will be released in the spring of 2023 and is a fully UL certified model designed specifically for RV's and mobile applications :) We have heard of customers using the Freedom or Comfort models, but they are designed for stationary applications so things like the ash bin may move out of place. The Travel uses a completely different design and made to accommodate movement. www.thecabindepot.com/collections/cinderella-incinerating-toilets

Great product!
Just wondering if shipping service is available for hosues located in places other than USA or Canada?
Good question - and the answer is yes. There are different distributors that handle Asia, Australia, and Europe for example. If you send us an e-mail, or use the contact form on the Cinderella website, someone would be happy to connect you with dealers servicing your local area.
Boy!
what is the material of body
The manufacturing process for the outer shell uses a special polymer blend with thermal properties that act as an insulation to protect the user of excess heat. The internal components are stainless steel and higher quality metal components.
What about odour?
Provided the unit is installed correctly, there is no odour during or after an incineration. This is a fully certified self-contained incineration unit with catalytic converter, so any exhaust vented to the outside has already gone though the process. Only sterile ash remains.
I’ve heard some incineration toilets can be used up to six times before having to initiate a burn cycle. Is this an option on any of the Cinderella models?
The design and certifications are intended to incinerate after each use. This is important to note, because today Cinderella is the only fully UL and NSF certified incineration toilet available in North America. But that's not the only reason, it's also the most efficient as the Cinderella employs various sensors that detects the moisture content, temperature, etc. If you have multiple users that need to 'go', every time you lift the lid the cycle pauses and starts again when that user is finished. Since the burn chamber is already heated, that subsequent cycles will take less time (and less energy overall).
How would this perform in an RV during the winter?
The Cinderella Freedom (Gas version) and Cinderella Comfort (Electric version) are designed and certified for residential applications only and have no issues with performance during winter months when vented properly. If you're in the extreme north (i.e. Alaska, Northern Canadian locations, or areas with very long & cold winters) there is additional intake pipe insulation which can be used to prevent condensation from freezing. That aside, when the unit itself is very cold the first combustion cycle of the day can take a bit longer.
The Cinderella Travel (formerly known as Cinderella Motion) is specifically designed for installation in mobile applications such as RV's, boats, trains, etc. However, it it not yet available in North America at the time of this note which is Oct 2021. We're hoping that model will be released later in 2022.

I got another angle for you… would this work in a geodesic dome? AND, quick question: Do you have the travel model available yet?
@@greenshereen Provided the ventilation requirement is met - yes. And the Travel is going to be available very soon: www.thecabindepot.com/collections/cinderella-incinerating-toilets
Amazing!
Hi, we are planning to install the toilet with the exhaust pipe on the interior - up through the roof. How deep is the T-shaped attachment? And What would be the distance from the wall to the back of the toilet? Thank you
Hello Valentina, Thank you for your question. The T-Bend has since been replaced with a 90 degree elbow. Once this elbow is set in place within the toilet exhaust it will extend out behind the toilet around 8-8.5 inches. When installing the pipe vertically please notice that the minimum distance from the wall to the toilet must be 11 1/32". I hope this helps. Feel free to email sales@thecabindepot.com if you have any other questions. Thank you
@@TheCabinDepotLtd Thank you for your response! I have another question..... if the wall the toilet standing against is not an exterior wall. Is there a way to reroute the fresh air supply? Or it must be vented straight to the outside (no elbows or turns). Thank you!
Are these quieter than the incinolet?
That's a good question - Cinderella Comfort is fully UL and NSF compliant, and a direct vent system meaning it draws in air from the outside for combustion via a separate air intake pipe whereas all other competing models use room air. We haven't tested the sound levels for other models, but that's a great idea and one test we'll conduct in the future. Here's a link to an independent 3rd party test conducted in 2018 by Testfakta who are based on Sweden. They tested other European models as well for this test and you may find interesting: www.testfakta.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/Grafik_Forbranningstoalett_UK180225.pdf
@@TheCabinDepotLtd I purchased the Incinolet and its so loud i'm considering the $5k Cinderella.
@@dirtycommtroop Without testing side-by-side, we would expect the Cinderella Comfort to be quieter simply as it has the closed air system. However, if you want to send a video of your toilet in operation to info@thecabindepot.com someone here could see if they could do the same and send back to you? That's not a scientific comparison by any means though!

What if you have diarrhoea
Well... ahem... The Cinderella incineration toilet would incinerate all waste - including diarrhea - in the same way :)
what about when bizznezz is BAD!
Well... good or bad. Big or small loads... it doesn't matter. The Cinderella will incinerate them all :) Just like any toilet, if you make a mess during the process then you're still cleaning it up!
Not off grid (misnomer) uses to much energy
Actually, the Freedom model operates using a small amount of 12vDC and propane. It is UL and NSF certified and designed specifically for off-grid situations such as cabins or off-grid homesteads. The Cinderella Travel is another off-grid model and the first and only UL certified incineration toilet designed specifically for RV's and mobile applications. The Cinderella Comfort is an electric model, and we have many off-grid customers that have larger solar power systems using this model today. The Cinderella line of incineration toilets are designed to be a waste management solution for customers that cannot connect to traditional septic because it's either not possible or practical for their situation. Customers looking for a full composting, light composting, urine diverting, or portable 'basic' toilets solution can also find those on our website.
How about using the electric version on the go? On a boat with 12vdc batter bank… thanks
The electrical requirement to incinerate would be more than a 12vDC battery bank could provide. Currently the electric model required 240vAC and is meant for grid-tied applications. For off-grid applications the Freedom uses LPG for the primary incineration, and a small amount of 12vDC to operate the control panel and exhaust fan. There will be a model released next year that is designed specifically for mobile applications such as boats, RV's, etc. That model also uses LPG but is designed specifically for those installation environments.
@@TheCabinDepotLtd this is great information- thank you for quick response and helpful video
"Deposit"🙌🏻....sorry, had to
Is there a 110 or only 220?
Hello, At this time there is only a 220V version. A higher voltage system is more efficient than a lower one because it loses less energy from resistance when the power draw is the same. Cinderella's R&D team worked on developing a 120V version but they felt that they could not guarantee a perfectly incinerated fine grey ash at the end of the cycle. It did not meet Cinderella's high standards of excellence. Thank you for your question and please let us know if you have any more. :)

I’m not sold. So I spend 5,000 dollars on a toilet and not only have to buy toilet paper for life, but now poop bags? I’m not a dog. And that’s a lot of money.
I have 6 dogs so the poop bag bill is gonna be high
An interesting comment lol. But as the video suggests, the Cinderella is UL and NSF certified and designed specifically to turn human waste into sterile ash. It's a solution for areas that cannot connect to traditional septic systems. An example of where a Cinderella would be beneficial would be someone with a homestead of cabin trying to meet building codes, and cannot practically install a traditional septic system. Or in the case of an RV, it would replace the messy black water tanks. Of course there are other products out there ranging from composting to urine diverting toilets (and we offer them all so we aren't biased!). We even have a basic bucket with a plastic toilet seat for customers looking for the most basic solution :) Just be careful where you dump it!
✋✌👌👍!
Everybody Poops
Great product for backyard cabins and rural areas that are not connected to any septic system
