This appliance has solved a huge problem for us. We live in the country and have plenty of room for a compost pile, but we have discovered that it attracts rats and mice. Lots of them. 

We tried a rotating compost bin, but it is hard (and heavy) to empty and if the process hasn’t completed the dumpings still attract rodents. 

The Food Cycler creates a lovely dried soil amendment that we are collecting in an airtight bin. It can be mixed in our raised garden beds next spring. We figure the excess can be spread among the trees.

The little bucket looks great on our countertop. The ONLY drawback at all is that the capacity is pretty small. We have had to do two cycles in a day a couple of times. We kept our old countertop compost bucket in case we need to use it while a cycle is completing.

We highly recommend the Food Cycler. For us it is worth every penny.
