This post is here to clear the air—and not just with a carbon filter.
What Makes OGO Different
Most composting toilets feel like a compromise. OGO is the opposite.
✔️ Compact Design
Our footprint is smaller than most traditional composting units, without sacrificing internal capacity. It fits in tight spaces but works like a full-size system.
✔️ Push-Button Agitator
No more manual cranks. Just press the button, and the agitator mixes solids effortlessly. It’s one of the only powered composting toilets of its size.
✔️ Urine Diverter System
Separating liquids and solids keeps things cleaner and helps reduce odor—essential for tight living quarters.
✔️ Composting Efficiency
Whether you're dumping weekly or monthly, OGO keeps it simple. With proper maintenance and compost medium, it stays fresh and effective for the long haul.
