In their words: > “The OGO is our favorite composting toilet on the market... It has all the features we wish our old model had.” What they appreciated most: - A **push-button agitator** (no hand crank required) - An **automatic urine level sensor** that tells you when to empty - A **smaller footprint** that fits more easily in compact builds - A **sealed system** that helps keep odors contained and maintenance simple --- #### What It’s Like Day to Day Their review covers not just features, but how the toilet performs over time—from emptying routines to space planning and cleaning. It’s not hype—it’s feedback from real-world use. Scho & Jo’s takeaway: composting toilets don’t have to be complicated. And with the right design, they can feel like a natural part of off-grid life, not a compromise. --- #### Learn From Their Experience We appreciate the detail and honesty Scho & Jo bring to their gear reviews. If you’re in the research phase, trying to figure out which toilet makes sense for your van, boat, or small space, their article is worth a read. 👉 [Check out their comparison and full thoughts on the OGO™ Origin](https://schoandjo.com/the-best-composting-toilet) ![Amzon Store Shopabble Image-png](https://learn.ogotoilet.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Amzon%20Store%20Shopabble%20Image-png.png?width=688&height=344&name=Amzon%20Store%20Shopabble%20Image-png.png)   - [01.
