4L Electric Composter for Kitchen, Smart Countertop Compost Bin

I don’t usually leave reviews, but this little machine genuinely deserves one. The Ouaken electric composter has completely changed how I deal with kitchen waste. It’s tidy, fast, and surprisingly quiet - I honestly can’t imagine going back to a regular food caddy now (which I also bought from Amazon).It reduces waste dramatically and turns it into dry, odour-free compost in just a few hours. I was sceptical at first, but it actually works exactly as described. Even onion peels and leftovers are gone by the next morning. The smell control is excellent – no weird odours at all (carbon filter system clearly does its job)Build quality is solid and it looks quite smart on the counter, not like some bulky bit of equipment you want to hide away. Our kitchen is relatively small/moderate size so it was quite important that it's not bulky. The bucket lifts out easily and can go straight in the dishwasher, which makes it very handy. I also like that it tells you when the filter needs changing.It’s quiet enough to run at night (you can barely hear it), and it doesn’t give off any heat or steam. I’ve noticed my kitchen bin hardly needs emptying anymore, which feels great from both a convenience and environmental point of view.To conclude, it does exactly what it promises, and does it brilliantly. Super easy to use, very clean, no smell, no fuss. If you cook regularly and care about reducing waste, this is a fantastic buy. Highly recommend it.

I recently started using this Electric Composter, and I must say, I am thoroughly impressed! From the moment I set it up, it has exceeded my expectations!First and foremost, the noise level is practically non-existent. You won’t even notice it running in the background—it’s that quiet! This makes it perfect for running overnight without any disturbances. The design is sleek, modern, and fits seamlessly on my kitchen counter, giving it a clean and high-tech look.What truly stands out is its versatility. It accepts almost everything we generate in a typical household kitchen—vegetable peels, fruit scraps, food leftovers, paper bags, cardboard, and other biodegradable items. It’s amazing how efficiently it handles all of this without any issues. Plus, the compost it produces is odour-free, making it incredibly convenient and hygienic to manage food waste.The product doesn’t heat up during operation, so I feel confident leaving it on the counter without any worries. The auto-cleaning feature is a lifesaver, and the dishwasher-safe bucket makes maintenance a breeze. No mess, no hassle, and no handling of unpleasant waste—just clean, easy composting.Overall, this Electric Composter has transformed the way I manage kitchen waste. It’s efficient, quiet, safe, and incredibly user-friendly. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a sustainable and hassle-free way to deal with food waste. Five stars from me!

Really impressed with the Ouaken composter. The biggest win is odor control—even strong food waste smells are eliminated during the process. Perfect for indoor use.It’s easy to operate and clean, but only if you follow a couple of basics:Keep a balanced mix of dry + wet wasteToo much wet waste = sticky mess and harder cleaningDon’t leave compost inside after the cycle—remove it promptlyPros:✔ Excellent odor control✔ Simple to use✔ Effective compostingCons:✖ Needs proper dry/wet balance✖ Cleaning gets tough if left too longIf you use it correctly, this works brilliantly. Definitely recommend.

Worked well for 7weeks then taking up to 14 hours to finish cycle and burning things on.Now will not use it.

I’ve been really impressed with the Ouaken electric composter so far. I’ve used it four times now, and it’s been easy and reliable each time.On my first run, I used the “crush” mode with a mix of kitchen waste — vegetable peels, fruit scraps, bits of leftover meals, as well as some brown cardboard and paper towels. The result was a dry, brown, powdery material which had a faint ‘oniony’ smell, but wasn’t unpleasant. There was virtually no smell during the cycleI then tried the “ferment” mode. This cycle took quite a bit longer — around 14–15 hours — but interestingly, the end result wasn’t dramatically different. The output was slightly softer in texture compared to the crush mode. However, it was virtuously odourless.I’ve since added the composted material to some raised flower beds to see how it performs over time. So far, I’m hopeful it will break down nicely and improve the soil — and I’m also curious to see whether it attracts any wildlife like foxes, although given the lack of smell, I’m hopeful it won’t.Overall, I’m very happy with the product. It’s simple to use, handles a wide range of household waste, and produces a clean output with minimal odour.However, the Teflon coating in the bucket has started to wear slightly and I am concerned this will only get worse. I have emailed Ouaken who responded quickly, but just said this is to be expected over time (I’ve only owned it a week) and given me a link to buy a new bucket if required.Time will tell whether the compost mixture improves my garden and whether the bucket lasts!

The Ouaken Electric Composter has completely changed how I deal with food waste. It’s compact and sleek, fitting perfectly on my countertop without taking up much space. Despite its small size, the 4L capacity is ideal for daily use and handles scraps from an entire day easily.What really stands out is how quiet and completely odorless it is. Even after using it today, there’s absolutely no smell — which is amazing. It runs so quietly that I can leave it on overnight and forget it’s even working.The 3-hour composting cycle is impressive. It quickly turns kitchen waste into dry, nutrient-rich fertilizer that I now use for my indoor and outdoor plants. The auto-cleaning feature is another huge plus — it keeps the inside fresh with minimal effort on my part.Using it is super easy — the buttons are clear, and the design feels premium. I also love knowing I’m reducing waste and helping the environment at the same time.

Its a fantastic machine. I had originally purchased a GAINOOM/COSTWAY machine that broke down in the first week and in some regard im glad it did as i purchased this machine to replace it. It processes waste into an almost dust like compost, is much quieter than the other machine and takes up less counter space as it has a slimmer profile. Down sides would be no digital countdown for time remaining and the filter replacements do seem very expensive on first glace but i could be wrong as im a long way from need to replace it.

1st review : This is so disappointing but after one use the crusher light is flashing & the manual says it’s defective & I should contact the manufacturer. There is no option other to return through Amazon so if goes back. I was so happy with it . Too expensive not to be fully functional.6/6/26 2nd reviewI am updating my review & 1 star following outstanding customer service. I contacted the company direct not through Amazon. After assessing the issue & confirming I had a faulty unit they have sent a replacement.So I am back composting my food waste.The machine is expensive & customers should be able to expect the machine perform without fault so fingers crossed.If it continues to work without issue then I will update again

I have been using this composter for about four days now and so far I’m happy with it. It’s simple to use, runs quietly and has not produced any noticeable bad smell yet. It has made dealing with daily food scraps much easier and keeps my kitchen cleaner. The size is also perfect for my countertop. Good product 👍🏼

I have wanted an electric composter for a long time, so I did research, read customer reviews and consumer reports before settling on the Ouaken electric composter. While there are a lot of options and brands available, I chose this one because of the many positive reviews, consumer reports, good price and features other brands do not have.The 4 litre bucket size is the largest I could find within a reasonable price range. I can fit a ton of kitchen scraps into it and only have to run the composter once to clean them all up.This model also has a self cleaning feature that I did not see in any other brand.The glass top allows you to view the composting process as it happens. It's amazing how quickly a full bucket of food scraps turns into a small amount of grounds at the bottom of the bucket.The composter is easy to set up and the instruction manual informative. I would have appreciated more information on what items can and cannot be used in the composter. They do not have a website with this information, but you can email their customer service if you have a question about a specific item. They respond quickly and are helpful.I have used the composter several times on various types of food scraps and each time it took between 3 and 4 hours to process a full bucket. The compost is consistently dry, clean and finely ground. There is no offensive smell. The composter turns off automatically when the process is completed. It's best to let it cool down before opening the lid, as it gets quite hot. You also want to sit your composter where it has open space all around it, for safety, given how hot it gets.I followed the recommendation to add browns to my greens for a well balanced compost. I have been using finely shredded paper from my paper shredder and it works perfectly. I've also added used paper towels and napkins, which also worked well.The machine is extremely quiet, even at night when there is no other noise.I saw in the customer reviews that some people complained about the lid not fitting. I do not see how it can be an issue, as you just need to line up the arrow and turn the lid to open and close it. The lid fits securely and is easy to operate.I had also read some people experienced the composter jamming. If you do not put unreasonably large chunks of food in the composter, it will not jam. I have not experienced any jamming, even with a full bucket. I have avoided putting in large items like apple cores or corn cobs. I do not eat meat, so I did not try to process bones.The composter has a warranty, so don't forget to follow the instructions in the manual and register your warranty by emailing the company your Amazon order number.I do not have any concerns or complaints about the composter. It has exceeded my expectations. The only quirk I have found is that when you open the lid, the power comes on automatically. This is helpful if you are going to use the machine at the time, but if you are just putting some scraps in there for later, you have to manually turn the machine off. Not a big deal, just a quirk I noticed.Overall, I highly recommend the Ouaken electric composter with the 4 litre bucket. I wish I had gotten this sooner, when I was canning food from my garden.UPDATE: I experienced some technical difficulties with my composter, so I contacted the company for assistance. They were amazing. Initially they provided detailed instructions on how to overcome the issue, but when that did not work, they offered me a new composter, shipped immediately. I have had occasion to contact the company with other questions, and they always responded quickly and provided the information needed. Superior customer service consistently provided by Ouaken.

The best think I liked about this product is the ease of the lid. You can slide down or forward. It has made it so easy to keep my counter clean. I have a baby running around and I can't have stuffs laying on floor and because of this trash can, I can now contain all my trash in it without dropping it on the floor. It is pretty sturdy for its price. Its small and I can throw away the garbage everyday so that my kitchen doesn't smell bad. It can be used in bathroom as well but I bought it for kitchen and its been working fine for me.

Es un gran producto, aunque llevo apenas 2 meses con él, es increíble su calidad
