Has anyone ever owned/used/heard of one? If yes, what is your opinion of them? Are they worse the money?

Thanks

My neighbor in New Mexico had composters, and with him, a wife, and two kids it was not as efficient as he hoped, lots of emptying and there is a smell, I recall him saying. Could have been their diet and their particular brand of toilet, I don't know for sure........

Here's some info and opinions on various composting toilets:

One of my favorite Richard K. Feynman anecdotes arises from the Space Shuttle program. In one of the two books on him, a friend is reminiscing about the time that Feynman sent him a diagram of NASA's proposed zero-gravity toilet. Immediately behind the user's...er, behind, there is a spinning device which NASA has labeled 'Solid/Fluid Waste Separator.' Next to it, Feynman had pencilled in an arrow pointing to the device, with the notation "As near as I can figure, the *censored* is supposed to hit the fan!"

EDITED: Jeeze, how can one talk about toilets without using the S4 word?
