Been using the AHCT fulltime, and honestly wasn't sure how it would turn out. I can now absolutely say it's one of the best inventions since sliced bread. It has more than met my expectations. Not only is it easy to use and maintain, it saves a considerable amount of water. Although their website says the composting part needs to be emptied about every 30 days (two people using it once a day), I've found it needs to be emptied about once every 5 or 6 weeks, with one person using it daily. Still, that's a pretty good period of time.
The best hack to extend the period of time between "servicing" is not to put any toilet paper into the toilet. Purchase a small trash can, such as this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07S84T5CP/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 for the toilet paper. I was really worried that an odor would emanate from the can when it was opened, but it contains a replaceable carbon pack to absorb odor, and when opened for the split second it takes to put a piece of used toilet paper in, no odor is discernable. The can seals air tight when closed. Think of how many rolls of toilet paper you use in 6 weeks. That's the volume you're not putting into the toilet, which really helps extend the intervals of service.
To make the "composting" of what you put into the toilet really work well, I use these: Amazon.com
However, instead of putting in the whole brick into the bottom of the holding bucket when it's serviced, I put in half a brick.
Then, about 2 or 3 weeks later I put in the other half, on top of what's already in the holding bucket. It's amazing how much better the contents are composted.
Those are my suggestions, and I hope they're useful for those of you using the Airhead.
