Seems like the biggest complaint is longevity and overheating. I recommend connecting with oversize 12v cable to minimize voltage drop. Too bad these portable macerators are not 120vac powered.
Bought my FloJet in 2006 so I could avoid dump station lineups, used it constantly since then, no issues at all, 'though I did finally buy a rebuild kit a couple of years ago because one of the rubber impeller vanes had broken off. 12 vdc is the only way to go as it means the ability to use the pump anywhere at any time, no need for a 120 vac power source. I'd also never buy any macerator that depends on a water source for operation - no need, the FloJet macerator is reliable, does what it's supposed to do, and will work just fine for years. Criticism always seems to come from those who've not owned one or have never used one. :S

Have had mine for about 10 years. Do a lot of winter camping here in Ontario and dump stations are not open so you have to do it at home.
Also when out for an extended trip it is a great way along with a portable tote to empty the tanks and head down to the dump station.
Never an issue with it, hose it down with WD40 or what ever I have after use and never had an issue.
Noise??? It's basically a 12VDC poop blender, really, what did you expect??!!
