I have a macerator which I hate using because they are so slow. I prefer the flow of gravity and a 3" stinky slinky vs. a garden hose and a pump.
My reason for investing in a waste macerator years ago was because I wanted to service my tanks here at the house after we've returned from a trip rather than line up with everyone else on a Sunday afternoon at the campground dump station, waiting my turn. :( Therefore how long it takes to macerate & empty the contents of the black tank is irrelevant, 'though a couple of minutes is about average. Since I store this macerator in the trailer that means I then have the option of servicing the black tank while we're still camping, should it ever be necessary, the advantages being it eliminates the need to deal with a heavy tote tank or disgusting stinky slinky. Obviously I could also use the macerator to off load grey water but usually I just gravity feed 7 gal Aquatainers sitting on the ground at the back of my truck. Now this is slow, taking ~ 8 minutes to fill a 'Tainer, but since I'm camping who cares? - it's done when it's done. K.I.S.S. :B
