Reviews from owners

Mostly positive Owners in long-term van, truck, RV and boat use describe it as odor-free when used correctly, with the solids chamber going weeks between dumps and emptying far more pleasant than a cassette or black tank. The main gripes are a urine bottle that fills fast and overflows if nobody watches it, plus gnats or fruit flies in some setups, and visitors who need instruction.
