Saniflo toilet, is it reliable, will it last, and are they recommended?

    Thinking of putting a Saniflo toilet + hand basin under the stairs, I have only heard one 1st hand report about said product and that was negative, so I need a few positive recommendations before I go ahead. Mine will be on a concrete floor with the macerator behind a small studded wall.

    PS: Are there alternative brands to 'Saniflo' on the Irish market?

    Thanks in advance.

    I put a Saniflo unit in my mothers house around 5/6 yrs ago and the only issue I've had with it was the nephews flushing baby wipes and at one stage , conkers. If it's used properly and installed properly their a good job

    It works well until it doesn't work well. If you can keep control of its use, it's fine. But still it's more of a last resort than the first thing you should consider.

    If there is any other way to do it apart from the saniflo, I would do it that other way. At ground floor level it should be possible.

    Many thanks, problem is the floor is made of concrete, which is about 8" thick.

    I think antoinolachtnai meant keep control of it's users and what they decide to contribute to it, nappy wipes, wet ones and anything with this type of material will cause problems.
    I display a sign above my Saniflo, asking that participants do not discard anything down the loo unless its been through them first. :p
