My eagerly anticipated Nature's Head composting toilet arrived in the mail yesterday. I unpacked it as fast as I could so as to fine tune my installation plan before the weekend.
I was very impressed with the sturdiness of the unit. It seems well built and durable; and is a comfortable height for reading or other activities. I quickly noticed a problem though. To separate the top and bottom, necessary for dumping the solids, you lift the top section and slide it to the left. In a 1685, there's a wall just to the left. So that makes the process of changing out the solids bin more of a hassle in a small head.
Knowing their reputation for customer service, I shot them an e-mail mentioning that it would be really nice to have lefty and righty hinges. I figured they were the kind of company that would like make the option available to future customers. Within an hour Larry, the owner of Nature's Head replied asking for my phone number for a quick consultation. He has righty hinges and will send them upon request. So mine should be turning up in a few days.
Once it's installed and tested, I'll update the review. But so far, they get an A+
