Compared to the standard RV toilet. The toilet is not that bad if you only use it for number one. They are like the airplane toilet except there is no venting of air when you flush.

From a simple view, the toilet starts with about 3 gallons of water and keeps reusing that water to flush. The wast is added to that water. There is a screen that screens out large partials and paper so they are not recirculated. The chemicals manage the smell and helps break down the solids and maybe does some disinfecting.

We only use the toilet at night for number one, which is how the DW and I have used camper toilets for over 30 years. This stems back to when we first started camping with a standard RV toilet and after a few days and using it for all our needs it smelled when you would flush.

So that is why we limit our use and so far it's no issue for us. I would think if you use the toilet for all you needs in a day or so, it could start to smell like the airline toilet at the end of a long busy flight.

You need to use the right chemicals and RV toilet paper.
