I have been considering one for the corner of my compost area. I'm older, female (so whipping something out is problematical) and my bladder function isn't what it once was nor does it give me the warning signals that it once did. There are a few occasions when I was out working in the garden and couldn't make it into the house on time. (Let's all pretend for the moment that that wasn't too much information.)

The corner of my compost area is almost completely private and it wouldn't be too hard to increase the privacy to be adequate.

I've watched that video above and that looks good to me. ...only thing is I wouldn't have any electricity out there. Are there models that don't require electricity? And am I understanding that when the solid stuff is mixed into coir or peat that I could add it to my compost? I am NOT timid about what goes into my piles. I keep 4 large ones going so what gets added to an active pile will probably remain in it breaking down for at least 2 full years.
