Cleanwaste GO Anywhere Folding Toilet Review

Our Verdict: Cleanwaste GO Anywhere Folding Toilet

A rugged folding bag toilet that is the cleanest and most packable way to carry waste out, ideal where you must pack it in and pack it out.

A folding tripod frame that holds a sealable WAG bag, weighs about 7 lb and folds to briefcase size, built for leave no trace backcountry and vehicle use.

What's the bottom line?

It uses no water, so there is no tank, valve or pump to service.

The WAG bag triple barrier system seals in waste and odor for disposal in the trash.

It folds down flat, feels bombproof under me, and the sealed bags never smelled even after days out. Wrestling the legs back closed is a small fight every time.

Our Analysis, Comparisons, and Test Results

The Cleanwaste GO Anywhere Folding Toilet scored 87 out of 100 overall.

It is strongest on cleaning & maintenance and weakest on capacity.

Here is how it did on every metric we tested, with exactly how each score compares to the rest of the field.

Weight & Compactness

The frame weighs about 7 lb and folds to a flat briefcase shape.

It stores flat behind a seat or in a pack where a tank unit will not fit.

That folded form is a big advantage for space limited vehicles.

It is heavier than a bare bucket seat but far more stable and self contained.

Weight & Compactness	Rating

Cleanwaste GO Anywhere Folding Toilet	8/10
Category average	7.4/10
Worst in test	5/10

Cleaning & Maintenance

It uses no water, so there is no tank, valve or pump to service.

The WAG bag triple barrier system seals in waste and odor for disposal in the trash.

Here's what that means:

A gelling powder in the bag solidifies liquid to prevent sloshing and leaks.

The frame parts can be sterilized, so cleanup is minimal.

Worst in test	7/10

Capacity

Each WAG bag is good for several uses before you seal and replace it.

Capacity is really about how many bags you carry, so it scales with your load.

It is not a high volume unit for a group over many days without extra bags.

The bag itself weighs about 71 g and folds tiny when unused.

Category average	7.4/10
Worst in test	6/10

Workmanship & Durability

The high impact thermoplastic frame is rated to support up to about 500 lb.

Three legs lock in both open and closed positions for stability on uneven ground.

The lid can tuck under the rear legs to spread load on soft ground.

Owners note the leg release is stiff, which is the flip side of it not folding by accident.

Portability

Folded flat it carries easily and the legs lock shut so it stays closed.

There is no liquid to spill in transit, unlike a flush toilet.

Odor stays sealed in the bag, so a used bag can ride out with you.

Aim can be tricky on the open frame until you get used to it.

What Other Camping Toilets Should You Consider?

Not sold on this one? A few others from our testing are worth a look.

The 72 HRS Premium Camping Toilet Seat with Bags is our best backcountry toilet seat. The lightest, most packable seat here, a snap on lid for a 5 gallon bucket that is great for emergencies but depends entirely on the bucket you supply.

The NOMAD by OGO Portable Composting Toilet is our best portable composting toilet. A waterless urine diverting toilet that controls odor without chemicals, well built but bulky and reliant on separating liquids from solids.

The Thetford Porta Potti 365 Portable Toilet is our best camping toilet. A well sealed, comfortable flush toilet that is the safe pick for van and car camping if you can live with its bulk and full weight.
