Frequently asked questions
The Eco 5 FoodCycler transforms kitchen scraps into a nutrient-rich soil additive in a matter of hours. It uses a combination of grinding and dehydration, evaporating water content, and reducing the volume of the food waste up to 90%. This process creates an odorless, sterile output that can be used as fertilizer, thereby reducing the food waste footprint.
No, the Eco 5 FoodCycler is designed to operate quietly. It has a noise level similar to a dishwasher, making it suitable for use in home environments without causing significant noise disruption.
The Eco 5 FoodCycler can process most types of food waste, including fruit cores, vegetable peels, dairy, and chicken bones. However, it is not recommended to process large bones, pits from peaches or avocados, or highly fibrous materials like corn husks as they can damage the unit or not be fully processed.
No, the Eco 5 FoodCycler does not require any additives or chemicals to operate. It is designed to reduce food waste through a mechanical and thermal process alone. For maintenance, it’s recommended to clean the unit's bucket regularly with soap and water and to replace the carbon filters as required to ensure the system remains odorless.

So far working really good, fine end product. I am conscious about the load, if heavy, I allow room for the blades to work. If light items, I fill it to the top. No smell whatsoever, noise is almost nonexistent. I did check many comparable products and settled with this one. Had it for about 3 weeks, so far good! Love the look too.

I had the Lomi food composter and thought it was a miracle. Two years later it needed a repair. Customer support was unresponsive. Seriously crickets. I simply wanted to see if they could repair it. I complained to Amazon. They also had no luck in contacting Lomi. Thankfully they honored my loyality as a consumer, told me to return my broken Lomi, and gave me a credit. How great was that! I researched alternative composters and discovered the work horse of composters : the Food Cycler Eco 5! The reviews were excellent. Best of all, reviewers, and the company assurred me of the 3 year warantee! I pulled the trigger and ordered it. I LOVE it! Having been a loyal Lomi fan, I crossed over and now am a full fledged Food Cylcler Eco 5 fan. It is such a better, thoughtful, efficient product. When running, I barely hear it. The Lomi was SO LOUD! There are really helpful directions about maintenance, cleaning, and over all care. Absent with Lomi. The carbon cartridges are much easier to load. The run time is comprable to Lomi and yields the same type of compost. Still I know have upgraded! Forget the Lomi!

I love, love, love this machine! It’s very efficient and so quiet! I did make the mistake of putting way too many grapes in one load and of course, the compost turned out wet. I was still able to mix it in with my garden! It takes about eight hours to run one load, so I just start it right before I go to bed.

Actually, it was my husband who urged me to write this review since I don't review items much. I went to his office room and said, "This food composter is one of the most important implements I have ever bought for our house." He said to write a review. I live rurally, and we are forever plagued unsurprisingly by mice, rats, and others. I had an outside food bin for composting, but the rats got into it all the time. When the rats started getting in walls of my very old home, and had apparently their evening meals on my compost bin, I learned of this recycler from friends. I purchased this on Amazon one year ago. OMG what a wonderful tool. I eliminated the outdoor compost pile (we did do some patching of our walls), and I use the food recycler 3x a week. It's quiet, I'm left with a fine powder like substance in the bottom, no mechanical problems, AND NO MORE RATS IN OUR WALLS!! Great product.

We use this daily! Works great! The noise level is very mild and acceptable. I would say the only draw back is the smell sometimes, however it’s not a problem since we keep it in the garage.

Great product. I've been using it daily for almost a year to make compost for my yard. It has worked flawlessly all that time. Never jams and super easy to clean (what little I have to do). I was surprised at the amount of vegetable matter I was putting in the green recycle bin prior to this. Expensive but worth it.

This is an AMAZING machine! I was very tempted to go with a less expensive indoor composter; but after a lot of research, I decided to make the major investment. I purposely took several months to write a review, because I wanted to better evaluate the value. It's a very sturdy unit, clearly well-made. It's attractive enough to keep on the counter, but it takes up considerable space and should not be used directly under a wall cabinet (because of the heat/moisture that it produces, when it's working). It also should not sit on the floor, so I made a small, raised platform (almost like a stool) for it to sit on. I've been pleasantly surprised with how well the smell is contained. If I'm doing a lot of cooking I put the bucket on my counter, so I can easily deposit scraps. The enclosed lid is very effective with containing the odor. The only time I noticed a strong smell is when I was recycling some scraps that I had started to compost in an outside bin. It took a second cycle to get rid of the smell and produce a soil-like consistency. The only complaint I had for the first month was getting the bucket to sit properly, before starting a cycle. It might take anywhere from 5 to 10 times, with no rhyme or reason, before it fit properly. But I finally figured out that you should not cram food into the bucket, especially when it's not already seated in the recycler. What can happen is that you end up changing the alignment of the blades, so they don't properly connect, when you place the bucket in the unit. Since making that discovery, I've had no issues with proper placement. Yes, this is an expensive machine, but if you're serious about wanting to dramatically reduce your food waste---and create a substance that will nourish your garden, then yes, it's worth the price.
