I have had the food recycler for a little over a month now. I really love it. It is very quiet.  It does take a while to run, 4-5  hours, but I was prepared for that based on the other reviews.
I haven't used the compost in the garden yet, because I got it at the end of the growing season . I am saving in a 5 gallon bucket to mix into the garden next spring.
I would definitely recommend this product
