So far I have only used the macerator at home either to pump out what is in the tanks from our last trip or when the camper is used for a guest suite.
While the flow rate is definitely not as fast as the slinky, it is still pretty good and I make sure the black tank it completely full before using it. I also run the tank flush to fill it up again and have the clear elbow between the dump valve and the pump, so I can see what is going on.
I am amazed at what people flush, even though they are "sternly" warned "nothing but toilet paper"... the macerator has consumed notebook paper and wet wipes with no issues (not sure how the sheet of paper got in there>
I have also considered using it with the blue tank, in the bed of the truck, if we are ever dry camping and need to dump (seems easier that trying to drag it, full of crap, to who knows where there is a dump station and hoisting it up).
At the house the camper shed/pad is about 5 feet lower than the toilet in the guest bath and I use a 100 foot 3/4 hose from the pump... no problems, it pumps out the 30 gallon tank in 10 minutes or less... pumping faster than the tank flush puts water in.
I am very glad I have it.
