    I have used this almost daily. After dinner I put in all the food scraps of the day and next morning I have dry compost for my garden. Very easy to use and no foul smell detected so far.

    Use it almost every other day for vegetables/fruits scraps and egg shells. Not only reduced the amount of trash but to get good fertilizer for plants.

    Use this on average 3 times a week, scraps that used to fill my garbage can and make it smelly are reduced to compost in a matter of hours. Now my garden is looking great as well!

    It's a good and handy little device. Big enough to get the job done but compact enough to fit in your kitchen well. Will definitely help you cut down on the size of your food waste and can even use the finished food waste as fertilizer.

    Great item for pragmatic hippies like myself! I'm not good about turning a regular composter so this item is perfect for me so I can get immediate compost without all the hassle.

    Great product and easy to use - very little noise and smell while operating. Would imagine these will get cheaper over time as not just throwing away food scraps in the trash becomes more in-grained

    We've had this running everyday since we bought it. It works great and cuts down on a lot of food waste space. It's helped our rise bushes come back to life quickly.

    A lot bigger than I expected. I’m not sure if mine was a resale sold as new for deals of the day, or if the company just ships units differently, but I didn’t get a manual or any instructions with it. After finding the instructions online from a few google searches a lot of everyday food is said to no be put into the system (starch, high sugar fruit/peels). I plan to bring the product back. I just recommend to plan out what you eat and see if you will get your money’s worth from the product before buying.

    Excellent quality and great compost. Makes me feel better about un eaten left overs or parts of vegetables not used. Not load or too warm, but we do leave it out of the way in the mud room.

    Works great. We use it daily. If you need more powdered output - then you need to spend little bit more time to cut it into small pieces but otherwise does the work

    This works great. Everything that I used to place in a container tote outside for composting, now go in this. And within a few hours I have compost.

    Great for home composting. Does a great job. It is small capacity so need to use every other day. Only drawback is that if it’s in the house it’s loud
