Super simple

Four steps.
A couple of
minutes a week.

Line with a bag
01 Line with a bag

Any 30 litre bag lines the solids bin. Add a ¾″ layer of coco coir or wood chips to the bottom.

Go normally
02 Go normally

The built-in diverter sends liquid to a 6.5 litre bottle. Open the covering plates for solids — the large drop zone means no aiming.

Sprinkle after each #2
03 Sprinkle after each #2

A small sprinkle of coco coir or wood chips keeps things fresh. One bag typically lasts 8–12 uses.

Tie and bin
04 Tie and bin

At about ⅔ full, tie the bag off and bin it. Swap in a fresh one. That’s the whole routine.

What to use for layering

Coco coir bricks are the most popular — compact to store and widely available. Pine pellets (horse bedding) are another favourite. Any dry covering medium works.

“Wood chips are easier and less messy since you don’t have to rehydrate them first.”

Got this for my van to replace a nature's head one which was a bit clunky and took up a lot of space. I was hoping that the cuddy would be a more subtle feature....
I've had it for just over a month and it's had fair use and I'm impressed. It doesn't smell... It just doesn't smell!
I read some reviews which mentioned its better to vent it, which I did and it was a super easy process. With the vent there is no condensation build up from your dirty business, which sounds grim and probably is.
Tucks away neatly, under a sofa unit in my van so no one really knows its there. The makers have a lot of how to video content to follow on their site, which made it an easier purchase as I could answer a lot of questions I had from those.
Would definitely recommend 👍

This is the second Cuddy I’ve purchased. I installed the first in our garden office and loved it so much I decided to get one when we got our new RV! We found the Cuddy from the vanlife movement. It is only 24 lbs so easy for me to move, but that's not really necessary. It is small, but big enough to be comfortable.Unlike other composting toilets with agitators, Cuddy is easy to maintain. No picking it up to empty, no costly cassett. NO SMELLS! Cuddy has a sealed liquid container that is easy to lift in and out of the Cuddy. Just lift it out, then empty it in a regular toilet, or pour in an isolated area (which will kill weeds and deter unwanted animals.) I also like the addition of the LED for the pee bottle - no guessing when a scummy bottle is full and getting it wrong!The solids container is also super easy. We use sawdust, but others use coco coir, or bedding pellets. The agitator makes it really easy to mix without making a mess, and there's really no smell! We put the toilet paper into a seperate sealed container lined with a plastic veggiebag from the grocery store, and then into the garbage or compost pile.  Separating toilet paper is common in Mexico, the Dominican Republic, and Caribbean islands we have visited, so it's not a big deal. We dispose the solids right into the regular garbage. The bin is easy to lift out, dispose into a garbage bag, then right into the garbage. It can also be recycled in a long-term composter.Everything is really well thought out - the size, the seat, access hinges, Carbon Filter, urine diverter. And, their customer service is great. I had questions about the solids materials and they got back to me right away. They also have cute YouTube videos showing the Cuddy out in the wild.  Cuddy is just the best and I can't recommend it enough!

We have used this as a replacement in our camper. Nice that we don’t need to use the black tank. Two of us can go 2 days before having to dump the liquid. We use a spray bottle with vinegar after use to keep things clean and clear.

Fairly impressed with this unit. It should come with the 9 V battery though which is needed for the LED Indicator light for urine. Or it should come with the proper plug for the internal fan. It's sometimes hard to find the DC battery end and for almost $1000 it really should be included.

This is perhaps my third composting toilet of various designs, and the most expensive one I've purchased. I avoided some of the other models due to price and complexity--but when I saw this one I felt compelled to try it out. I don't really have any complaints about it so far. The urine-diverting modesty cover works well enough and a quick spritz of vinegar takes care of any mishaps reasonably well.It seems sturdy enough and the sealed urine tank is a nice touch. I especially like how easy it is to remove the solids bin by just grabbing the handle.My only complaint is that you have to be careful to not overfill the solids bin with medium because the agitator's arms can sometimes push a little bit of medium out of the bin and into the interior (no big deal, just a minor annoyance). I have found wood ash to by the best medium for my purposes and thankfully the agitator in the solids bin works quite well.Overall I would recommend this unit for both its simplicity and features. As a British-designed device, I am a satisfied customer. My only hope is that replacement parts are either available for sale or made 3D-printable to ensure the longevity of this into the future.

Questions about
the Cuddy Lite

Why would I want a Cuddy Lite rather than a Cuddy?

Most people who asked for an agitator-less version wanted to put a liner bag in the bin for easier cleaning, and some simply prefer the lower price. Here’s how it works: line the solids bin with a bag and add about an inch of coco coir. After each #2, cover it with roughly a cup of coir. After 8–12 uses, tie off the bag and bin it where local rules allow.

Can I line the Cuddy Lite solids bin with a bag?

Yes — an 30 litre bag fits the solids bin. We recommend a compostable bag.

What’s the difference between the Cuddy and the Cuddy Lite?

Cuddy Lite has the same seat, lid, covering plates, urine bottle, urine indicator light and footprint as Cuddy. It doesn’t have the agitator, fan or carbon filter, so the only power it needs is a 9V battery for the indicator light. Instead, you use the layering method: a bag in the solids bin and a scoop of coco coir after each #2.

What size are the liquids and solids containers?

The same as the Cuddy: 6.5 litres of liquid, 14.7 litres of solids.

Do I need to vent the Cuddy Lite?

No. Cuddy Lite has no fan and doesn’t need venting. If you’d like extra airflow, say in a humid climate, you can add the fan kit.
