4L Electric Composter for Kitchen, Smart Odorless Compost Bin with 2 Carbon Filters, Large LED Display & Visible Window, Auto-Cleaning, Indoor Countertop Food Waste Composting Machine

I cannot be more excited about having this composter. As a busy gardener, chicken tenderer, homeschooling family with a home business, we do our best to utilize everything to it's fullest capacity. We have spent hours dehydrating and drying citrus peels, egg shells, and much more, to utilize them for the garden, chickens, or other "green" uses. Our kitchen would get so stinky from our little "compost bin" which had been a bucket or bowl with resting lid where we kept all our food scraps and then toss out to the chickens when we remember to take the bucket out there. The counter would get gross from the bucket overflowing with food waste, and the gnats and flies became unbearable.Then this counter-top electric kitchen waste composter came into our lives, and now we're excited to see what color our food waste will become after processing.We are a family of 7, and this size suits us. We could go up in size, but then again, we found that we can add waste even as it is processing. The processing reduces the size of the waste, which means more can be added. The air tight lid keeps it from smelling and attracting flies. Secondly, all those scraps become soil within hours! The chickens have been composting our scraps for years, but it takes months for things to break down, and toiled as the chicken scratch around and leave their droppings all over.This machine suits us perfectly, taking up only a little more space than our "chicken bucket", as we called it.It can open with one hand, toss in the goodies, close with one hand. We fill it almost everyday with all the egg shells and veggie scraps, coffee grounds and a few other things. It is so simple to run, and surprisingly subtle. All we have to do is push "auto" before going to bed, and the next morning we have gorgeous looking soil! It takes up so much less space than all the unprocessed scraps, and while the chickens love to peck through the scraps, there is still plenty they don't help break down, like avocado skins, banana peels, corn cobs etc. We toss the new broken down "soil" in the raised garden beds, or in with the chickens.The machine is perfectly stable as it's running, a little noisier during the grinding phase, but still, not even as loud as a nearby fan running. The cleaning feature is a great treat, and the solid bucket is easy to clean when taken out also.We've mounted the included poster of what can and cannot go into the composter, so the whole family can pay attention to it.

This compost machine so pretty cool. I doesn't hold a ton, however, it does a great job turning it into compost. Keep in mind, it still has to "break" the food into nutrients down over time, but It chops, mixes and I guess dehydrates everything and it turns into what feels like soil.
