Are they worth having? Do they empty faster? Thanks

Those of you that use a macerator, what do you use for a power source? Do you run a line from the cab cig lighter plug? Rewire an external plug near the drain? Portable battery pack? Is there a problem with voltage drop?
I have a sewage cleanout slightly uphill about 20' away and I'm tempted to try a nacerator.

Rather than go through the hassle of doing more wiring, I simply use a jumper cable - I connect it to the house battery on the other side of the RV, run it under the RV and hook it to the macerator.
One thing I found is that if you're just on battery power, the macerator doesn't run at full power. So, at home, I'm plugged into shore power so the jumper cable connection provides enough juice for full power.
