“Even with a fan, and proper venting, this unit (used occasionally by 2 people), is a BIG disappointment. The company claims it is effective for 3 people full time use. Company was no help in solving smell and lack of composting action. A bucket would be the better value. I have replaced the Biolet with a Sun-mar. If you buy the non-electric Biolet you will become a poop farmer. I do have a...” --fgreen
“We have this on our boat, which means we don't need to call the pumpout boat, and that's a good thing, because in Puerto Rico, they don't have pump out boats! Many boaters just grind up their excrement, mix it with chlorine, and pump it into the ocean. We like this method far better, and we never had any smell problem at all, and it worked so well that now we are using it to make a summer time...” --
“ We purchased the SunMar Excel NE from Home Depot for around 1370.00 CAD! Wow. we thought we really had something great. A few years down the road, and we now know that no matter what you do it never really composts. It absolutely needs a fan or it will stink you out (so much for the NE - No Electricity). The drain is constantly getting clogged from debris that falls through the very primitive...” --Bill7654

Would like to add a wind turbine to the vent pipe for when the power is out (I believe to new version comes with this). Or a battery backup for fan.” --GNiessen
“Using it as a camp toilet and plan to allow visitor access for paddlers. Has not been in use long enough to gauge full effectiveness. But it seems good.” --GNiessen

The unit uses the regular 2" vent when 115 Volt power is available and defaults to the 4" NE vent when it is not. A 12 volt 1.4 watt fan is included for use in the 4" vent stack. The Excel AC/DC is for those with generators operating over 12...
