Villa vs. Tiny: Which Separett Toilet Is Right for You?

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.

Separett Villa: Best for Permanent & Full-Time Use

The Separett Villa is our flagship urine-diverting toilet, built for everyday use in permanent homes, cabins, and off-grid households. It’s ideal for families, couples, or individuals who live in one place and need a low-maintenance but robust sanitation solution.

Key Features:

  • High Capacity: Suited for full-time use by households of 2–4 people
  • Odor-Free: Equipped with a continuous low-energy fan (AC or DC) to ventilate moisture and odors
  • User-Friendly: Looks and feels like a traditional toilet
  • Low Maintenance: Solids container typically emptied every 3–4 weeks (2 users)

Best For:

  • Off-grid cabins and remote homes
  • Tiny houses used as full-time residences
  • Seasonal cottages with regular visitors
  • Users who prefer a full-size toilet experience

Separett Tiny: Compact & Self-Contained for Small Spaces

The Separett Tiny is a fully self-contained waterless toilet designed for minimal space without sacrificing comfort. It's a favorite among vanlifers, boat owners, and those living in ultra-compact environments.

Key Features:

  • Compact Design: Smaller footprint fits easily in vans, boats, and tiny homes
  • Self-Contained: Available in versions with a urine container or urine outlet hose, easy to convert between the two
  • Smart Separation: Concealing screen opens when you sit, keeping waste discreet
  • Easy to Empty: Solids and liquids are separated for simple, mess-free disposal

Best For:

  • Camper vans and RVs
  • Tiny homes with limited bathroom space
