I love, love love this food recycler! It’s compact but powerful. I don’t keep food scraps in it. I store the scraps in a sealed Rubbermaid container in the refrigerator. When I have enough to fill the bucket I transfer the scraps to the machine and push start. I have the machine on a workbench in my garage. Ur it is good looking enough to keep in the counter. So far I have done 3 batches and am getting ready to dig the mulch into my garden

I love putting food scraps in this little machine and getting dried dirt like material for my garden.

Got tired of using a plastic bucket to keep food scraps in for composting. This has been a big improvement. It keeps everything out of the way and the compost material it creates is pretty cool and doesn't really smell. The overall level of grossness associated with composting has really been reduced using this. It takes several hours from start to finish and isn't exactly whisper quiet but it's no louder than things like a modern dishwasher or air fryer etc.

Works awesome, turns food waste into compost material in 24 hours, wife add compost directly to garden daily.

Good little composter, but it’s a little small for a family of 5. It also took a lot longer than I expected. I really like the idea, but wish it fit more and didn’t run as long. Ended up returning it. I don’t generally recommend it, but if you have a small family or don’t have too much food waste it’s a pretty great idea. I think a newer version allows you to pause, which is a good upgrade

Simple and easy to use. This reduced the use of traditional compost at home that takes forever.

Good way to reduce food waste. Overnight with electrical composting we get an awesome soil supplement.

I love the idea of recycling my food, but I'm regretting the purchase now. It is bulky, heavy, loud, and takes up a lot of space. It uses a lot of energy. I am a "from scratch" kind of cook, and have a lot of use for the machine. Even though it is just the two of us, I have enough to fill the machine every day. Given that it requires several weeks of additional combination with soil, it is also an added inconvenience until it can be used. It doesn't really give you completed compost, in other words. You just aren't putting your excess food items in the trash. Given the inconvenience, expense, energy consumption associated with the unit (and others like it), I made a poor choice and would not recommend it for composting. It is also difficult to clean, as one section of the unit seems to trap dried food and I have to spend time soaking and scrubbing that area. PRO: it does a good job of dehydrating and grinding the items.

So, far, so good. Little noisy. Takes some time, but certainly not nearly as much time as organic composting.

LITTLE GARBAGE MAKER! My wife loved this as a gift, we're throwing away WAY LESS food product now.

Used it once so far and this thing is awesome!! Great for my home tomatoes

Great way to reduce waste and change to organic matter

It’s so quiet and fast, compost is super. This is excellent and so much FUN!

I filled the compost bucket and started the machine. After approx 4 hrs it was time to see what my banana peels and fruit waste turned into! I had about 1 and 3/4 cup of compost. Pretty impressive. However I did return it. I will continue to use my outside compost we. Would recommend if you had room in your apartment and wanted compost your your indoor plants.

Love this thing. I use it daily & it works GREAT! Super easy.

I love this item. It’s so easy to use and convenient.

The FoodCycler has been a fine device, it dehydrates and pulverizes well.

I absolutely love this compact food recycler. I have very limited living space and saves me a lot of trash i don't have to take out. Also it's good for plants. You can put in peels coffee grounds chicken bones. Love it.

Works great - quality item, very sturdy and quiet.

I run this a couple times a week, due to small bucket capacity. The lid really, really, has to align to close it, which is annoying. However, it does the job I'd expect and my gardena and garbage disposal are already feeling the positive effects. Makes composting super simple.
