Terrible Design I could only recommend this if you are a single male living alone and don't rely on it 100% to allow the composting process to properly work. 1. For two people, the urine jug will require emptying every single day and REEKS during every step of that process. 2. Main compartment will require emptying every 1.5-2 weeks (less if you put toilet paper in) and by then is a sludge of wet smelly poop. There is nothing earthy about the smell or look. 3. When you do attempt to lift this thing to empty it, it is too unwieldy for a single person to do alone. One person must hold bag over opening while other person lifts and tips it. While it is upside down shit will get into the inside of a lip on the top edge. (You need to spray this out with a hose everytime) 4. Mixer does not mix in dirt at the edges and corner of bucket, wasting over 50% of the dirt in there. You will have to manually mix this in at least once during the cycle. 5. Poop door does not completely fold away. About 1/2" of it sticks proud into the opening and poop will get on there and buildup, causing urine hitting the door in the future to not drain away properly (adding to urine in the bucket next time the door is opened) and getting poop into the diverter mechanism which is not accessible for cleaning. 6. Urine diverter is extremely hard to clean scale off, as its inside a sealed compartment with only a few small holes for access. 7. Women will have to pee first before opening door to poop, have fun doing that. When they are done and door is opened a small amount of pee will drip into bucket as girls cant control what direction their urine goes and mess up the whole system. Poop dirt will become too damp. 8. Fan just isnt powerful enough. Poop does does not dry out. It also isn't powerful enough to prevent backflow of air when your main bathroom fan is on during a shower. Anytime you take a shower your bathroom gets filled with humid stinky poop air. Fun. 9. Cost is insane. $1000 for 75¢ of plastic and some off the shelf hardware. I could justify the cost if it worked as advertised (no smell, 3-weeks+ between emptying) but that just isn't the case. I will spend hundred+ a year on the coco coir alone which is over 100x the cost of the water in a normal toilet. 10. I also spend much more on toilet paper as this thing always requires wiping down after every use, even though you cant get to most of the areas that really need the cleaning. You literally have to take this thing apart and have a pressure washer w/ fine tip nozzle to get into the small areas that get caked in awfulness. 11. Bowl is far too small. If you're lucky about 1/4 of the time your turd will go right in the hole (if you perch forward, straighten your back, and have a small member that wont get smashed into the front of the bowl (this feels very unhygienic, just asking for UTIs really.) If you are well endowed or even slightly above average (and are a shower) your willy will not fit into this thing even when sitting all the way to the rear. 12. This is damaging to relationships. I am way to intimate with both my own and my partners waste now. Even after 6 months I am not acustomed to this yet. Maybe if it actually worked. You argue about who will take out the pee, or at the very least it is one more chore that needs to be delegated. You will be resentful for them using it and filling it up. You will be embarrassed about the mess. You will lose attraction to your partner after looking at and smelling their feces every day. I wish I had bought the C-Head for half the price.
