The type of cruising you plan on doing would determine if it’s a valuable piece of equipment or not. If you plan on extended cruising distances with a lot of time on the hook it would be very valuable because it prob cuts down on trash space by 75-80%. If you plan on being at a lot of marinas with 2-3 day transits being the longest planned you will be fine with a regular trash can. I’d much rather have a trash compactor on a boat than a dishwasher. It sure is nice being able to be out on the hook for two or three weeks and only have one maybe two trash bags. Where as if you don’t have a compactor you may have 5-6 and you will need to take a dinghy trip with it full of trash bags.
