Thanks for the toilet link... That looks really interesting. What do you think of it? Other than that website,I cannot find anything about that toilet anywhere. I'm confused about where the waste goes and how it can have no smell... Is it only for peeing?

I don't know about this specific one, but composting toilets are starting to become more popular for liveaboard boats. Marine heads are IMO the worst part of boating.

If you have electricity, there are also electric incinerator toilets. For a summerhouse that can be a environmentally friendly and hygienic solution. They can handle urine but I prefer to pee outside.

I’ve heard they can be a bit stinky

Not inside but outside yes if there is no wind/certain air pressure. The toilet has intake air and an exhaust chimney that you put through the roof or a wall. So generally the exhaust should go up like smoke from a chimney but it can also come down at time. It doesn't smell like poo/pee but it does smell something.

At least the model we have at our summer cottage, you can go multiple times while it's still burning since the incinerator and the part where you are doing your business are two separate areas. To "flush" you just press the button that opens the hatch and drops down in to the incinerator.

You have to empty it maybe once month and there is only handful of ash. It's definitely easier to maintain than composting toilet where usually you need to throw in some dry mulch/compost material so doesn't get smelly. Eventually you still have to empty the compost and hope it has mostly turned in to soil. It also smaller than composting toilet so you can fit in inside a small cottage.

A lot of cruising boats use those. Bad reviews seem rare.
