I have used my Lomi everyday since I purchased it and I love it. I have found the Lomi setting for composting is best for me and my usages. When I've made the soil from the longer setting it does make soil, but when I have added that soil to my plants it gets a weird hairy mold growing in it and flies. For me I like the Lomi setting to do the quick running 5-8 hour setting to add the Lomi compost to my green garbage compost container which eliminates the nasty bugs and smell in the barrel prior to garbage day.

It didn’t work and their Support department said it would not provide me assistance as it didn't know who I was. The first time I used it, it worked and Significantly reduced the size of the waste. But the second time I used it it failed and created a rockhard substance that prevented the wheel inside it from turning. I had to soak it for two days to clean it out and support provided no assistance. So I returned it

My experience with the Lomi has been excellent. I have run the Lomi in grow mode 25 times thus far with expected results. There was some extra noise came from the processing of corn husks, cobs, and pedicels. The pedicels (stems) were very hard and a noise from the Lomi could be heard throughout the house while processing the pedicels. The noise subsided after about 30 minutes of processing. Overall the sound level from the Lomi has been equivalent to the sound level from a dishwasher. At the end of processing watermelon rinds the result was still wet. This is attributable to the high water content of watermelon rinds. As per other recommendations, I ran the result again along with drier contents like clean (no glue, no tape, and no ink) shredded cardboard. The final results were the expected perfect dry compost. If the resultant Lomi compost is wet, just process it again along with dry content to help absorb extra moisture. In addition to corn cobs and watermelons, I have also processed clean shredded cardboard, paper towels, tea bags (without the strings), grass clippings, and fallen leaves through the Lomi to produce compost. The compost is being added to my garden soil during the fall and winter. Additionally, I plan to use a little bit of the compost for growing vegetables indoors. After 25 processing runs, I feel I have given the Lomi a good workout. The grow mode has consistently taken about 16 hours to cycle through its process. I have run the Lomi for 400 hours thus far. I am impressed with the functionality and performance of the Lomi.

Okay, it’s great but it’s a little finicky at times. If you’re not careful, you can end up making food waste pudding that will kill your appetite when you open it up after a day or so of use. Overall, it’s a solid product. I throw just about anything that is allowed into Lomi and it does well enough turning it into dirt. The Lomi pods and grow mode do a good job creating nutrient rich dirt but it honestly takes a long time. The device gets warm and it shouldn’t be used in enclosed spaces. It is quiet but also noticeable when it is running. I love the product and would buy it again but keep in mind it is far from perfect.

Expensive but this makes it easy to keep up with composting food waste. I do wish it held a bit more. I use a lot of fresh produce so I run my lomi at least 3-4 times a week. I can add it directly to my garden or to my compost pile. So much easier than a standard compost set up that takes months to break down under the right conditions.
