I have one in mine, I run it for about 5 mins following dump. Works great for me. Be sure to use the included regulator or you might blow the hose off the fitting with too high of water pressure.

I have a rinser, not that one, and can't think of any cons to them.
they permit you to dump the black tank any time you want to, at your convenience. IIRC I have heard here that they might hang up and not rotate but don't know how that affects the cleansing?

Have Tornado on both my black and gray tanks and no problems. Use them at each dumping for a minute or two.

We had previously installed a Tornado Flush on our HTT that we traded in this Spring, and we like it so much that it was the FIRST modification that we completed on the new TT!

Had them installed in both black and grey tanks. Dump then flush with about 10 gal of water then dump again.

I installed one in my brother's TT. I have the factory installed one on my Designer fiver. They do work great but I would advise you to get one of the clear 45 degree connectors to put on the end of your trailer sewer line & then attach your flex dump hose to the clear adaptor. Flush the tank until water runs clear to make sure you got as much as possible. I close my black tank valve after flushing & add more water to the tank using the flusher & then drain it again with the flusher still running. The directions with the flusher say to never run the flusher with the valve closed but I hope that is because they don't want you leaving the water running & forgeting about it as this will overflow your tank & could damage it. I always do this while I am paying attention to the process to avoid this potential problem.

A buddy and I both installed tornado rinsers in our 5th wheels when new. They work great but last yr my buddys backflow preventer cracked and caused it to leak when flushing, he replaced it and its been fine since. Second trip out this year and mines got the same leak, I have yet to tear the underbelly off to verify but it only leaks when Im rinsing so Im certain its some sort of issue with the tornado.
