These are sold by the Range and Go Outdoors. Anyone own one? They are in the same price range as the Lidl ones but those will not be available again for months.
Only found two reviews. One saying absolute rubbish, fell apart and one saying absolutely fine. Is it worth paying extra for a Thetford.

I was looking at these myself a couple of weeks ago at go outdoors in Sheffield, the Thetford (165 I think) was next to it they looked very similar in size etc. I think there was only about £10 difference - Personally I think I'm going for the proven Thetford for the extra £10

I'm starting to feel really sad now
- just been researching the different sizes - this may help
http://www.thetford-europe.com/product/ ... -qube-145/ not sure to go with the 335 now (more compact), but for an extra £30 is it worth it????

I do! You don't want to end up like Sonny Liston: unable to get up again after a session with Cassius Clay
I got a 365 unused off eBay 7 years ago. Finally pressed it into service this year Bliss and I swear it's as comfy as my one at home
If a jobbies worth doing, it's worth doing properly. Spend the extra - treat yourself.

We've got a Thetford 335 which I think is the smallest they do. Has it about 7 years now and it's still good as new. Also bought a Fiamma Biopot for the boat but it was nowhere near the same quality. Stick with a well known brand and you'll have no problems getting spare parts if required.

Best to go in the shop last thing - I always do and try them to make sure they fit lol

Brilliant advice. Go for the Thetford. One area where cheap and not so cheerful is not worth it.
The Lidl one I had was held together with grey plastic clips, which very quickly added a lot of Duck tape to repair the cracked plastic. It finally ended up with only one fixing clip left, so came to a premature finish. Fortunately it died at the end of a camping trip, not the start.
A nice new Thetford should make things more civilised
