Electric Composter Kitchen Compost Bin Intelligent Odour Free Low Noise Self Cleaning Food Waste Transforms Food Waste Into Fertilizer within 3 Hours

I have wanted an electric composter for a long time, so I did research, read customer reviews and consumer reports before settling on the Ouaken electric composter. While there are a lot of options and brands available, I chose this one because of the many positive reviews, consumer reports, good price and features other brands do not have. The 4 litre bucket size is the largest I could find within a reasonable price range. I can fit a ton of kitchen scraps into it and only have to run the composter once to clean them all up. This model also has a self cleaning feature that I did not see in any other brand. The glass top allows you to view the composting process as it happens. It's amazing how quickly a full bucket of food scraps turns into a small amount of grounds at the bottom of the bucket. The composter is easy to set up and the instruction manual informative. I would have appreciated more information on what items can and cannot be used in the composter. They do not have a website with this information, but you can email their customer service if you have a question about a specific item. They respond quickly and are helpful. I have used the composter several times on various types of food scraps and each time it took between 3 and 4 hours to process a full bucket. The compost is consistently dry, clean and finely ground. There is no offensive smell. The composter turns off automatically when the process is completed. It's best to let it cool down before opening the lid, as it gets quite hot. You also want to sit your composter where it has open space all around it, for safety, given how hot it gets. I followed the recommendation to add browns to my greens for a well balanced compost. I have been using finely shredded paper from my paper shredder and it works perfectly. I've also added used paper towels and napkins, which also worked well. The machine is extremely quiet, even at night when there is no other noise. I saw in the customer reviews that some people complained about the lid not fitting. I do not see how it can be an issue, as you just need to line up the arrow and turn the lid to open and close it. The lid fits securely and is easy to operate. I had also read some people experienced the composter jamming. If you do not put unreasonably large chunks of food in the composter, it will not jam. I have not experienced any jamming, even with a full bucket. I have avoided putting in large items like apple cores or corn cobs. I do not eat meat, so I did not try to process bones. The composter has a warranty, so don't forget to follow the instructions in the manual and register your warranty by emailing the company your Amazon order number. I do not have any concerns or complaints about the composter. It has exceeded my expectations. The only quirk I have found is that when you open the lid, the power comes on automatically. This is helpful if you are going to use the machine at the time, but if you are just putting some scraps in there for later, you have to manually turn the machine off. Not a big deal, just a quirk I noticed. Overall, I highly recommend the Ouaken electric composter with the 4 litre bucket. I wish I had gotten this sooner, when I was canning food from my garden. UPDATE: I experienced some technical difficulties with my composter, so I contacted the company for assistance. They were amazing. Initially they provided detailed instructions on how to overcome the issue, but when that did not work, they offered me a new composter, shipped immediately. I have had occasion to contact the company with other questions, and they always responded quickly and provided the information needed. Superior customer service consistently provided by Ouaken.

The Ouaken Electric Composter has completely changed how I deal with food waste. It’s compact and sleek, fitting perfectly on my countertop without taking up much space. Despite its small size, the 4L capacity is ideal for daily use and handles scraps from an entire day easily. What really stands out is how quiet and completely odorless it is. Even after using it today, there’s absolutely no smell — which is amazing. It runs so quietly that I can leave it on overnight and forget it’s even working. The 3-hour composting cycle is impressive. It quickly turns kitchen waste into dry, nutrient-rich fertilizer that I now use for my indoor and outdoor plants. The auto-cleaning feature is another huge plus — it keeps the inside fresh with minimal effort on my part. Using it is super easy — the buttons are clear, and the design feels premium. I also love knowing I’m reducing waste and helping the environment at the same time.

Je l’ai utilisé une dizaine de fois. 110%. Fini les odeurs désagréables. Je le recommande fortement. Je ne pourrais plus m’en passer. Je vous reviens pour un commentaire supplémentaire. Mon opinion n’a pas changé sur ce produit. Après l’avoir utilisé plusieurs semaines, il arrête soudainement de fonctionner. J’ai contacté Amazon pour connaître la marche à suivre. Il m’ont donnée le lien pour rejoindre la compagnie Ouaken. Je voulais absolument écrire à nouveau un commentaire. Nous avons communiqué par courriel. J’ai reçu une réponse dans les 24 heures. Ils sont extrêmement attentionnés à mon problème. Ils m’ont demandée une petite vidéo pour confirmer que l’appareil ne fonctionnerait pas. Ce que j’ai fait. Ensuite, j’ai pris une photo du dessous de l’appareil avec les renseignements pour ce composteur, ainsi que la facture. J’ai reçu une réponse dans les 24 heures. Après tout ça leur réponse était que l’appareil serait remplacé. Je pensais être obligée de leur retourner et je dois avouer que ça me stressait. J’ai reçu un autre courriel me disant que je n’avais pas à le retourner car ils comprenaient que tout ça serait compliqué. Quel soulagement et sans même leur en avoir parlé. Ils m’ont recontactée pour me dire qu’ils me feraient parvenir un autre appareil et me donné la date de réception approximative. Tout ça sans aucun frais de mon coté. Je pensais avoir des frais à payé. Comme je ne peux plus me passer de cette machine extraordinaire, je ne voulais pas regarder pour une autre compagnie, (et j’ai très bien fait de leur faire confiance) car elle est parfaite pour moi. Elle est dans le top 5 sur des sites d’essais d’appareils de ce genre. Elle est très, très silencieuse. Il n’y a aucune odeur. Elle est très simple à nettoyer, alors ça ne devient pas un fardeau de la laver à chacune des utilisations. En plus, elle est discrète sur le comptoir dans la cuisine. Nul besoin de la cacher à cause de son parfait design. Et comme je me disais, quand nous achetons un appareil électrique ou électronique, il peut y avoir un petit problème sur une ligne de montage surtout quand ce sont des millions d’appareils qui sortent de ces usines à chaque jour. Je confirme le professionnalisme, l’écoute et la compréhension de la compagnie Ouaken. Je suis abonnée à vie à cette compagnie.

I am writing to share my feedback exactly one year after purchasing my composter. I can proudly say this is one of the best gadget additions to my kitchen. I collect all my kitchen scraps throughout the week and use the composter to provide nutrients for my outdoor raised beds and plants. This product is truly worth every penny. It was ready to use right out of the box with no additional setup required. Regarding maintenance, the unit stays so clean that it hardly needs anything more than a simple rinse. While I do replace the filters often due to my extensive use, they are incredibly powerful and ensure there are no issues with food rot smells. Overall, this is a great product, and the customer support team is on another level. I never expected to receive such excellent support. Thank you for a wonderful product and experience.

Used for 6 months and the motor seized up. Was great when it was working. Tried turning unit with container in but will not move. Removed container and it turns freely so yes the motor seized up and definitely didn't get my moneys worth in 6 months. Don't buy.
