Electric Kitchen Composter - 3L Indoor Odorless Smart Composter with Detachable Carbon Filter - Countertop Compost Bin Turns Waste into Natural Fertilizer for Plants (White)

Perfect gift for my mother

I want to give this composter 5 starts. I love the concept - and when it works, it works great. I have two major issues with the unit. First - the instruction booklet needs to be re-written. It's not easy to follow - particularly when you are trying to troubleshoot problems (missing descriptions, no measurement units, not explanation of potential issues and fixes). Second - the quality/warranty issues are a problem. After 2 weeks of use (in accordance with the instructions and maintenance), the unit made some really loud noises, then stopped working. I've reached out to the manufacturer who said they would be shipping replacement parts. Contacted them after another 2 weeks and no parts. Then the company ghosted me - a month and several emails with no replies. Sent in the unit for a replacement under the warranty claim (and spent $40 on shipping!). After five months, still no replacement unit. Reported the company to the BBB.If you don't get a lemon of a machine - good for you. But if you get that lemon - you are out of luck and $290. Are you feeling lucky? If not, I suggest going with a more reliable composter.

Es muy buena pero ahí que tener en cuenta varias cosas: 1. La maquina se toma unas 6 horas para hacer el compost, 2. El mejor resultado de compost se logra solo llenando hasta la mitad el contenedor, si se llena hasta el tope, también saca un buen compost pero con cierta humedad, no lo seca por completo, entonces ese abono tiende a que le salga hongos fácilmente, tendrías que usarlo muy rápidamente. 3. Es conveniente cortar previamente los desechos en pedazos antes de depositarlos en el contenedor, porque algunas cascaras de frutas o tiras de fibras como la cebolla larga, pueden enredarse en las aspas y bloquearlas.

Purchased the pursonic electric composter in March of 2023. For the most part it has worked okay for the past 1.5 years but recently stopped grinding the waste. It runs a full 4+ hour cycle with no errors, 3 beeps when it is complete and open it to find dried waste that has not been ground down. No product support since it is past the 1 year warranty but I was offered 50% off the manufacture price (basically the same price that Amazon is selling this unit for today) Just beware that you may only get a year or two out of this machine.

Matter gets stuck under grinder blades and stops the grinding process.Trouble handling fibrous matters such as fibrous vegetables, peals, fiber does not allow blades to continue with grinding process.I am totally dissatisfied with this product. I wish I could return it. Does a very poor job.

Overall I endorse this product. I have had it two months. First, I ran it several times before I found all of the hidden pieces of tape around the filter and condensation cup. Removing those solved all of the moisture problems. Second, do not overload it with hard objects, or food with long stringy fibers. The grinder cannot handle it. Pineapple skins, too many artichoke leaves, etc.Keep an awl or coat hanger around to clean out the stuck stuff. If all the lights are blinking it means it has overloaded the grinding motor. Try using less per load. I put mine in the garage because there is some odor when running. I wish someone made a food waste grinder you could use to easily chop food up before putting it in here, or had a composter with a better grinder set up.

First use, it leaked all over my counter and made my whole house smell like a hot dumpster.

Love this. But I have found it doesn’t like the banana stalk part, or stems from greens, or broccoli stalks unless you chop them up. So if I feel like it, I chop them in 1/2-1” pieces or I discard them, if I don’t feel like it. After it dehydrates, it grinds. Those things, if left whole, catch in the grinding process and stop the machine. But I love the end product which I put in my compost and the worms eat it. It has a good smell after processing.
