How does a macerator toilet work?

My new MH came installed with a Dometic 8700 Master flush macerator toilet. I am very familiar with a macerator that you hook up to your sewer to pump uphill but I am not at all familiar with a macerator toilet.

They are obviously not the same. The sewer macerator is very slow but this macerator toilet acts like a home toilet. When you flush the toilet, it moves the bowl contents out quickly and quietly.

The thing that concerns me is that I'm afraid it will eventually get clogged like my old sanicon. I live with a wife and two daughters and I find their long hair absolutely everywhere including floating around in the toilet.

I'm hoping to hear from those of you who have lived with a macerator toilet for a while or are very familiar with them. Is this thing easily clogged and if it does get clogged, how hard is it to clear?

I really don't know much exactly how they work, but it seems they would prevent the proverbial pyramid of "DOOM" since all the solid waste would be ground up first so there aren't any real solids to speak of.

With that being said I also would wonder just how thick the slurry/liquid is and how well it flushes out especially in the sewer hose.
