Love this!! Cheaper than Lomi, and has saved us SO MUCH headache. We used to put our scraps in the freezer to keep them from smelling until it was time to put the compost out, but it wasn’t ideal. Gross old food frozen in the freezer. With this composter, which we run generally once a day for a family of three, there is NO MORE mess in the freezer, and we’re using the composted material in the garden.
Works really well. Sometimes doesn’t grind to that it’s exactly the texture of dirt, but definitely enough that it’s mainly dirt texture. Some things like banana peels (we eat a lot of bananas) leave a few stringy things in the composted material, but it’s not really an issue for us. It’s broken down 98% which is fine for it to go in the garden. We haven’t experienced ANY smell in the kitchen, and it has a bit of an earthy smell when you empty the composted material, but it’s not pungent or anything that leaves a smell in house. Fairly quiet, easy to clean, even if there are some things stuck onto the metal part, if you soak it for a few minutes with water and soap and then wipe and rinse.
Tip: if you have coffee grounds that you compost, put a bit of coffee grounds in each time you run this because the coffee ground help everything else to be broken down really well!
We're VERY happy with this purchase. Well worth the money. If you’re thinking about getting a tabletop composter, this one is an excellent investment, great price for value, works really well, saves you a lot of smelly mess regardless of how you usually deal with scraps.
The ONLY thing I would say in caution is that if you have a lot of food waste, you may have to run it 2-3 times a day (which is still ok because it doesn’t generally take a hugely long time). This may not be for you if you have a ton of kitchen scraps to deal with because it can process a good amount at once, but I could see it not being big enough to handle the scraps from a really big family.
