Huh. Had no idea something like this existed. Anyone here own one? How well does it work?

OK for people in urban areas where they cannot do any sort of bulk composting. This is basically a dehydrator + grinder. Note that the carbon filters for smell are a consumable and are not exactly cheap @ $25/every 3 months.

I have a barrel composter and I don't have the patience to wait for it to do its thing. Also you need to put the right combo of paper and food materials. If this is simpler, it would be worth it.

This does not make compost per se. It just dries and grinds leftovers. This makes composting a bit more manageable as you do not have to deal with the bulk or smell of the greens, but you would still want to add this to a pile of browns and water and let it properly compost.

Also, keep the volume in mind. This does 2L at a time while your average barrel composter is 100L+.
