I brought our Vita-mix Recycler a month ago and boy, are we glad that we did!   We never liked our compost bin as it was smelly, attracted fruit flies and a pain to dispose of it every 2 weeks.  Now with Vita-mix Recycler - everything - veggies, fruits, some chicken bones all ground down into no smelly "fertilizer "  and very easy to dispose of.  We are very happy with this product!
