Five Peaks, is one of the most innovative portable restrooms to come out in a long time. It's very attractive and has a lot going for it, however there are some serious draw backs to consider too and they don't all relate to the design unfortunately.
Some of the features that help this restroom stand out are that it's light weight meaning it's very easy to move around and place. It's easier to clean because the marbleized holding tank and floor don't show dirt as much, it also has openings down each side to sweep off the floor. However they have their own issues, the springs on the door always break, they apparently got them made in China and the factory that made them didn't really figure out how to make a spring last. The door spring is very difficult to replace which is why this is a big issue because it's incorporated into hinge. The way to remove it is to detach the roof and slide out the hinge rod, there is another option which you drill a large hole in the roof where the rod slides out which makes changing them a bit easier.
Besides that flaw the company has been very unreliable. We ordered several dozen restrooms months in advance from this company and had already rented them all out, however two weeks before the delivery date they (kenny the salesman) cancelled my order because one of their existing clients from Texas wanted to bulk up on restrooms encase a hurricane hit (it never did) so instead of doing the right thing, they gave there client in Texas our restrooms, we even complained to the company president (which still is there I believe) who did nothing. We instead called Poly John and got our restrooms within the two weeks and were able to fulfill those orders. Five Peaks has since changed hands to Satellite Industries & Kenny the salesman is now gone, so maybe they've improved.
As always I recommend the color choices of: Tan, Aqua, Light Gray in that order, a five peaks Aqua restroom is quite attractive but tan wins out for being easier to maintain.
Here's a list of pros & cons:
Pro: Cost, these are very affordable (may not be now that Satellite owns them)
Pro: VERY attractive
Pro: Light weight
Pro: Easy to clean
Pro: 3 Roll paper dispenser
Pro: Shelf Space
Pro: Large urinal
Con: Not durable, the springs break
Con: Lacking in sign space
Con: Company has a checkered past
Con: their accessories are just ok, the sinks etc aren't as good as Poly John's option
