Composting toilet comparison 🚽: Nature's Head vs. OGO | Differences, advantages, functionality

What are the differences between the Nature's Head composting toilet and the OGO composting toilet? Which toilet is better for whom? In this video we'll tell you!
Besides the design, there are 3 main differences between the two toilets:
First, there are significant differences in size. The Nature's Head composting toilet is the largest composting toilet in its class and significantly larger than the OGO toilet. The space requirement is thus higher, but allows for significantly higher ranges. While the OGO is designed for about 20-30 toilet trips or about 2 weeks' range with 2 people, 60-80 toilet trips or about 4-6 weeks' use are easily achievable with the Nature's Head.
The second major difference between the composting toilets is the way they work. The Nature's Head is, except for the integrated fan, an exclusively mechanical and therefore very robust system. The OGO composting toilet, on the other hand, is the first electric composting toilet. This means that the agitator in the Nature's Head composting toilet is moved by hand or foot. The OGO has an electric motor that controls the agitator. In addition, there are some sensors and features that complete the electric comfort package of the OGO composting toilet. Important sidefact: Both toilets have the same, extremely low power consumption of 1.1 Ah per day.
The final distinction is found in emptying and cleaning. With the OGO composting toilet, emptying is very easy via the front of the toilet. With the Nature's Head, emptying is somewhat more complicated due to its size. The regular cleaning procedure from the top is equally simple for both toilets. If you want to clean the OGO toilet thoroughly, this is possible. Because the OGO composting toilet is completely screwed together and can therefore be dismantled. So every nook and cranny and every component is accessible. This is not possible with the Nature's Head composting toilet. However, it is so robust that you can simply clean the toilet in the garden with a hose or high-pressure cleaner for the next season.
In summary, the Nature's Head composting toilet is particularly suitable for off-road and self-sufficiency fans who have a high demand for robustness and range.
The OGO composting toilet is the better choice for casual campers who rather value high comfort and a modern design and have little space available.

we have a natures head. Its great. You’re right about it being robust. The cool thing about it is there’s nothing on the toilet that you can’t fix. It’s all modular.

OGO now has a small unit called the Nomad. No electricity, no paddle. I just ordered one - waiting for it to ship. It’s a basic composting unit.
It’s tiny but can go anywhere even when dry camping. Uses biodegradable bags and has a liquids separator container.

Great summary. Different units for different applications. Major difference is the numbet of toilet uses before emptying. In either case choosing a composting toilet is a far better choice than traditional toilets, on boats specifically, which help reduce ocean pollution. Well done.

Nature's head is more money, Hard to clean if your movements are not solid, The paddle does not fully move the compost leaving most of your movements at the top You will need to add more compost while mixing..Your trips to use it are reduced ..We got rid of ours for a better, cheaper design

FYI, energy can not be measured in Ah. (Need to multiply with some unknown voltage)

I'd take the Nature's Head every day of the week over the more expensive and sure-to-break OGO. I can turn the crank and see when pee is full. Why pay $1, 000 for so many breakable mechanical/electrical parts?

The choice seems super easy

Great video, which is more comfortable though?

w w w, guys, thats not needed, simple the link is enough, dot and domain
Thats enough to remember
So how do you empty a NHead, if there is no bucket?
