If you live in an area where there is a problem with food waste attracting flies etc. This is for you.

Mine works all the time. In the beginning, I found the talking a bit frustrating but it also tells you when it is finished. And you can switch it off.

I had an issue and the supplier gave me excellent service. I am impressed.

I have tried them all...worm farms, bokashi...outside compost heap. This is the best way to reduce waste, landfill and smelly bins in the kitchen. Between this and recycling you can make a huge difference to your contribution to rubbish.

Yes, the voice prompt is annoying, but fortunately, you can turn it off. I LOVE my composter.

This little composter is a lovely addition to my kitchen. It looks neat and does not take up too much space. There is no smell or noise. It does take a long time to process the compost but fortunately does not use a lot of electricity. (Checked on my usage app). Easy to silence the voice commands if they irritate you.

It is a little expensive but well worth it!

It's a very expensive product. It did its job maybe 5 times and now it just pops open and says the ingredients are too hot. When it worked, it needed a lot of time, not sure the coal our stations burn for this, is worth it.

I am very disappointed with this product. My white elephant, is too expensive to throw it out, but not used at all now.

Awesome product to pre-compost almost any waste from the kitchen, except hard bones.

Reducing our landfill waste and rats from normal compost heap! Great service and follow-up as well from Kerry.

If you want a clean kitchen environment, non-smelly dustbins, and no maggots & flies, if you are concerned about the environment..then this is a must-have in your home.

The backup service is excellent, efficient and quick. I have had mine for 2 months and am loving it.

Received this very expensive product from my children for Christmas... extremely disappointed.

Despite several attempts with finely chopped and bigger waste as well as bigger and smaller volumes of waste it kept jamming the mechanism, stopped and the lid jumped open.
Could not complete a single cycle past drying, never mind composting.

My son raised a return and refund request. Read more

I've only used it once but I'm so impressed. Add in some food and voila compost! So awesome to be reducing my waste footprint with this little guy.

It's quiet but still advisable to use at night so you don't hear anything.

The product worked for a short while and then malfunctioned. On three occasions, the machine was returned to the supplier who claimed to have repaired it, but we're left with a composter that was a waste of money.

I bought my composter a while back and have used it extensively with great success. I just love it, and so do my plants when they get their share of the pre-compost.

Then the gear started to slip.

I phoned Microgarden and even before I could pack and wrap the composter the courier arrived at my door to pick it up. Before my next batch of compost was ready, the gear was replaced and back in my kitchen.

This is an excellent service for a neat and effective appliance. Read more

This is a great product but just a note that it’s definitely not a 5-hour cycle. Closer to 9-10 hours.

Delivers as promised — an excellent addition to the kitchen. Slight smell for one small step in the cycle but very easily contained and short-lived. Had one small glitch two months after purchase but the after-sales service was faultless — efficient, quick and followed up to check problem was resolved.

After so many failed attempts to make my own compost, this incredible composter solved the problem. I simply put my food waste in and within hours I have compost — with no bad odours.
The after sales service is just as impressive. Help is only a Whatsapp away. I love this!

I just love my composter! Feels as if I am doing something small for the environment! I am in awe after each batch to compare what I’ve put in vs the compost!

From waste to food garden — no smelly bins while closing the food-waste loop in 5 hours.

I had the composter now for a few weeks and have the following feedback. It takes on average about 7 to 8 hours to process my food scraps. I use it every 3 to 4 days (before it starts to stink). You end up with a granola-like product when it is completed.

While it is working it permeates a rotten food smell through my kitchen. I had a look at the seating of the carbon filter but all seems in order. Read more

Review by Debbie T. on 24 February 2023

This composter is the odour-free, pest-free, and mess-free solution for pretty much anyone with a kitchen.

I throw all my food waste into the composter, wait a few hours, and then voila!

No more smell, no more flies, no more maggots, and no more messy bin cleanup required every week.

I am thrilled to bits with my purchase.

I would unreservedly recommend it to a friend. I think every home should have one and do its bit to stop rotting waste going into landfills.
