YOSN 15.6 in aluminum toilet review

The only aluminum toilet in this group and the lightest complete one at two and a half pounds — with the lowest load rating on the shelf, 350 pounds.

On the maker’s own page

A 15.6-inch portable toilet, ultralight and foldable, with a two-second setup and a 350 lb rating.

YOSN states installation in seconds and a compact design for a backpack or a vehicle; a height of 15.6 inches giving a natural sitting position for adults; durable aluminum alloy, sturdy, waterproof and rust-proof, weighing only 2.5 pounds and bearing up to 350 pounds, with non-slip rubber feet; a smooth, non-porous plastic seat resisting odors and stains, wiped or rinsed clean; and a package of one folding stand, one collapsible seat, one tear-resistant storage bag, twelve heavy-duty waste bags and six poo gel packs.

No packed size. No waste capacity. No seal arrangement.

Two and a half pounds, rated three hundred and fifty

The inversion this group publishes.

The ABS folding toilets here weigh 4.5 and 4.8 pounds and are rated 450 and 450 to 500. This one weighs 2.5 and is rated 350.

A folding aluminum stand carries its load through slender tubes and hinges. A molded ABS shell spreads it through a continuous skin. The two constructions do not rank by weight, and the camping chair shelf in this catalog shows the same inversion from the other direction.

Fifteen point six inches

Published as a sitting position.

Forty centimeters, which the listing describes as a natural height for adults rather than as a dimension.

This shelf’s introduction makes seat height the comfort figure and the one that decides whether standing up is easy. Three toilets in this group publish one — 15, 15.6 and 16 inches — and two publish none.

Twelve bags, six gels

The consumables, counted unevenly.

This shelf’s introduction makes the bucket-and-liner type entirely dependent on the bags. Gel is what solidifies liquid waste so a bag can be lifted and carried.

Twelve of one and six of the other means the gel runs out at the halfway point. One rival here supplies twelve and twelve.

Aluminum, for the damp

Not for the strength.

Waterproof and rust-proof, stated — which matters on a frame packed away wet at the end of a weekend. It is the only metal frame on this shelf.

What is not published is the alloy grade or the tube diameter. The camp chair and camp table shelves in this catalog both make the same point: the diameter says more about stiffness than the material name.

YOSN’s instructions carry the setup and the load rating. Nothing here replaces them, and nothing on this page describes any product as safe.

What people ask before buying

Why is the lightest one rated lowest?

Because aluminum tube and ABS molding carry load differently, and the two figures in this group run opposite to each other. This toilet is 2.5 pounds and rated 350; the ABS folding toilets here are 4.5 and 4.8 pounds and rated 450 and 450 to 500. A folding aluminum stand carries its load through slender tubes and hinges, where a molded ABS shell spreads it through a continuous skin. The camping chair shelf in this catalog shows the same inversion from the other direction, where the lightest chair is rated higher than the heaviest.

Twelve bags and six gels — why not twelve of each?

The listing does not say, and it is worth noticing because this shelf's introduction makes the bucket-and-liner type entirely dependent on the bags. Twelve bags and six gel packs means the gel runs out at the halfway point, and gel is what solidifies liquid waste so a bag can be carried and handled. One rival in this group supplies twelve bags and twelve gels; another supplies a roll of twelve bags and twelve gels. The consumables are a repeat purchase whatever the count, and the shelf has no figure for how long any of them last.

How much does aluminum buy here?

Weight and corrosion, not strength. The listing states durable aluminum alloy, waterproof and rust-proof, which on a frame that gets wet and packed away damp is the real argument — an ABS shell does not rust either, but a steel-framed one would. It is also the only metal frame on this shelf. What is not published is the alloy grade or the tube diameter, which the camp chair and camp table shelves in this catalog both make the point about: the diameter says more about stiffness than the material name does.
