Villa vs. Tiny: Which Separett Toilet Is Right for You?
When choosing a waterless toilet, finding the right fit for your lifestyle is just as important as choosing the right product. At Separett, we offer different models to meet different needs—and two of our most popular are the Separett Villa and the Separett Tiny.
While both models provide hygienic, odor-free, and waterless sanitation, they are designed for slightly different living situations. Here’s a side-by-side comparison to help you decide which one is right for you.
