Thanks for sharing your experience with me. Definitely some good points. Glad you confirm my thoughts about the fragility of the vacuflush. I had a boat with two Raritan Atlantes Freedom macerating toilets. I had a guest try to flush a baby wipe with predictable consequences. The only guy in my area who worked on marine toilets told me (with no irony in his voice at all) that he was "backed up" 6 weeks, but that he would talk me through a rebuild if I got stuck. So I rebuilt it myself, including a new macerator chamber, macerator motor and control board. Never, ever again. The board alone was around $300 IIRC. I will look at the Elegance though, since your experience with them has been so good. Thanks!
