solids remain in the hose because the hose is corrugated and the solids settle in the cavities. Flushing helps, but doesn't solve the problem.
It really depends how often you flush. If you do it three times, you are probably right.
I have never heard of anyone complaining about any solids being left behind or an offensive odor. Never been an issue for me. Who is going to peer down a pipe to see what's in there or put there nose up to it? If it was more of an issue out there, there'd more of a demand for smooth bore hoses (3"). Personally, I think this is an exaggerated problem.

You can't compare the amount of time needed to pull out the macerator pipe vs the stinky slinky. The macerator is much faster, period. Some MH coaches even have a cutout in the bay for the flexible pipe. Just open the bay door, grab the macerator end unit, attach to the sewer inlet and close the door.
Well, it takes me under a minute to pull the hose out of our storage compartment, connect it to the outlet just a few feet away and run the hose over to the CG sewer inlet. Surely seconds can't matter when setting up at a CG? In the overall scheme of setting up everything else, I would say it's pretty insignificant.
If there is one thing about the 3" stinky slinky hoses I don't like, it's how effort it takes to unscrew the bayonette fittings. I can see eventually when arthritis sets in, I'll need to switch to something else.
