FoodCycler Eco 5 - Award-winning Home Food Processor and Recycler - Kitchen Countertop Compost Alternative - Electric Food Waste Disposer - Odorless Food Waste Bin - 5L Bucket Capacity (White)

I went from the Lomi to this machine and this is exponentially better. Whisper-quiet, excellent results and we’ve decreased our food waste by 90%. I recommend getting a second bucket because the machine does take several hours to run, with nowhere for new food scraps to go during that time.

Great product. I've been using it daily for almost a year to make compost for my yard. It has worked flawlessly all that time. Never jams and super easy to clean (what little I have to do). I was surprised at the amount of vegetable matter I was putting in the green recycle bin prior to this. Expensive but worth it.

I had the Lomi food composter and thought it was a miracle. Two years later it needed a repair. Customer support was unresponsive. Seriously crickets. I simply wanted to see if they could repair it. I complained to Amazon. They also had no luck in contacting Lomi. Thankfully they honored my loyality as a consumer, told me to return my broken Lomi, and gave me a credit. How great was that! I researched alternative composters and discovered the work horse of composters : the Food Cycler Eco 5! The reviews were excellent. Best of all, reviewers, and the company assurred me of the 3 year warantee! I pulled the trigger and ordered it. I LOVE it! Having been a loyal Lomi fan, I crossed over and now am a full fledged Food Cylcler Eco 5 fan. It is such a better, thoughtful, efficient product. When running, I barely hear it. The Lomi was SO LOUD! There are really helpful directions about maintenance, cleaning, and over all care. Absent with Lomi. The carbon cartridges are much easier to load. The run time is comprable to Lomi and yields the same type of compost. Still I know have upgraded! Forget the Lomi!

Excellent customer service. I had some issues at beginning, the byproduct from Foodcycler was very wet, and machine made large noise when running. The customer service representative respond me quickly. There are two tips I learnt, with these instructions,I had no more isuue and it always have dry debris as it should do. Tip one, adding some cutting paper into the waste bucket, better from brown bags since it’s less chemical. Tip two, don’t make the bucket too full, and filled up tightly , so the machine will be running smoothly .

So. I bought this to save my marriage. My wife was filling our freezer up with frozen garbage to eventually take to a local recycling center that would compost it (we live in a major city). Yes, her heart was in the right place - and also. The road to agony is paved with best intentions. Said differently, I got tired of reaching into our freezer for something only to have to navigate a (pretty gross) bag(s) of food garbage. Not only has this remedied that situation completely - this thing is. Dare I say. Fun. There's something about taking a big ol' pile of ugly leftover food and putting it in this thing for it to do its work. It's quiet, we've had no odor issues, and it provides a pretty amazing before and after picture. It's also incredibly simple. Take the bucket. Fill it with food scraps for a few days with its odor lid on. Take said bucket, put it in the base. Latch the lid. Press the button (the entire device has one button - simplicity that both me and my wife appreciate), wait for it to do its thing, empty the results. We've just been filling a standard bucket outside - and this bucket probably contains what would have been at least 15 different trips to the recycling center and it's just over halfway full. So. Yeah. I bought it for her for Christmas, desperate to de-garbage my cold box. And it's done just that. Candidly, I have a lot to learn about gardening, composting in general, but what this has yielded - mixed with dirt - supposedly offers a lot of nutrients for growing. We have a friend in the neighborhood who has dibs on the bucket given her gardening prowess. Perhaps I'll update my review here once she's put it to work in what she's growing.
