4L Electric Composter for Kitchen, Smart Countertop Compost Bin, Odorless | Low Noise | Auto-Cleaning | Turn Food Waste into Fertilizer, Indoor Food Waste Compost Machine, White

We LOVE this counter top composter! Quiet, efficient, easy to clean and effective. Outdoor composting is not poo at our vacation home and the town doesn’t offer green waste pickup, and I don’t like to put food waste into the trash. This is perfect! A full bucket becomes a small amount of mulch or compost. We mostly use the crush mode to save on energy use and it’s perfect. Also, it’s not too big and looks fine on the counter. Thank you Ouaken!

I’ve been using this 4L electric composter for a few weeks now, and I’m honestly impressed. It’s super easy to use, fits perfectly on my countertop, and looks very clean and modern. I love that it’s completely odorless—even with food scraps inside, there’s no smell at all. The low noise level was a big surprise. I can run it during the day or even at night without it being annoying. It simple and effective! What I like most is how fast it turns food waste into dry compost that I can actually reuse as fertilizer. It makes me feel good knowing I’m reducing waste and doing something better for the environment without any extra effort. If you cook at home often and want a clean, smart, and convenient way to compost indoors, this machine is absolutely worth it. Highly recommend! Im loving!

I have been using a composter for 4 years and unfortunately I had to purchase a replacement. I am very impressed with the Ouaken 4L composter. I held off on reviewing to make I tested the machine first. What I experienced: 1.It is compact - much smaller than my previous one but larger container. 2. easy to access with the top that is removable ( also easy to keep clean since the top can be washed). 3. Very little smell for a short bit then no smell while in operation - it’s so nice to not have a kitchen that smells while composting. I was skeptical but really no smell! 4. The 2 options to break down the food waste is great! I can decide when I need the really nutritious composte for plants and most of the time can use the crush mode since it’s a very eco/low energy mode. 5. Because the surface is smooth it is so easy to clean the outer body and I can easily wash the inner pail or use the clean option. 6. It works on my small kitchen! I recommend this composter - it reduces the impact on our environment and creates awesome plant compost!👍😁🌱🪴

This composter is small, quiet and easy to use. We have not noticed any smells or pests associated with it. It's amazing the amount of food scraps that fit into it and the tiny amount of compost that is produced. So glad that we purchased this amazing, quality composter. Looks great sitting on the kitchen counter. And best of all, there's no need to have any additional supplies required to be added to make it work.

I’ve been using this electric kitchen composter for about two months now, and I’m genuinely impressed. It reduces an entire container of food scraps down to a tiny amount, which still amazes me every time. It runs very quietly, and there’s absolutely no odor — such a relief compared to having smelly food sitting in the garbage can. So far, it’s been completely hassle‑free with zero issues. I’m really happy with this purchase and love how much cleaner and easier it’s made my kitchen routine.

Ok so this is a very very nice machine. I want to grow my own organic vegetables this year and don’t want to use any artificial fertilizers. Bought this machine to make my own compost and really happy with my purchase. I am learning different recipes for compost and the machine can do it all. It is fast and really quiet. A full bath takes about 12h. Easy to clean, there are no smells and the basket it’s built tough.

Very happy with this "composter". However, this is not really a composter. This is a dryer/shredder. There are no blades, only crushing arms. This DOES NOT create ready to use compost. If you try to put this in your garden it will attract animals and will not fertilize until completely broken down, but it may not ever get there, as the critters will likely have eaten or dug it all up already. (I tried this, mixed with store bought compost and had that result). The output needs to be further true composted to use. I will be using a barrel type composter to finish the job. Given all of that, it is super nice to put all my kitchen compost and have it dried and broken down. I am a one person household who does cook fresh food most nights and it fills up in about 4 - 5 days. It does not smell bad, although it will have a "cooking food" type unoffensive smell while running. It is very quiet. I have this in my small open cabin and can run it at night with no problem. Two things, it will not handle very stringy things like artichoke leaves, just creates a knotted up mess, and will not break down seeds like squash, they just slip through the arms.

My previous one from amazon broke down, so I decided to get this one! It is compact enough to sit on the counter without taking over the space, but still holds a good amount of daily scraps like vegetable peels, coffee grounds, and small leftovers. The different modes are straightforward to use, and a full cycle finishes within a few hours, turning the scraps into dry, crumbly material that is easy to toss into plants or the yard. I recommend running it overnight. Noise has been surprisingly low, to the point where it can run in the background in the evening without being disruptive, and there has not been any noticeable odor while it is working. Agreed with other reviews on this. For a simple way to reduce food waste and feel a bit better about what is leaving the kitchen, I recommend!

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.

I don’t usually leave reviews, but this little machine genuinely deserves one. The Ouaken electric composter has completely changed how I deal with kitchen waste. It’s tidy, fast, and surprisingly quiet - I honestly can’t imagine going back to a regular food caddy now (which I also bought from Amazon). It reduces waste dramatically and turns it into dry, odour-free compost in just a few hours. I was sceptical at first, but it actually works exactly as described. Even onion peels and leftovers are gone by the next morning. The smell control is excellent – no weird odours at all (carbon filter system clearly does its job) Build quality is solid and it looks quite smart on the counter, not like some bulky bit of equipment you want to hide away. Our kitchen is relatively small/moderate size so it was quite important that it's not bulky. The bucket lifts out easily and can go straight in the dishwasher, which makes it very handy. I also like that it tells you when the filter needs changing. It’s quiet enough to run at night (you can barely hear it), and it doesn’t give off any heat or steam. I’ve noticed my kitchen bin hardly needs emptying anymore, which feels great from both a convenience and environmental point of view. To conclude, it does exactly what it promises, and does it brilliantly. Super easy to use, very clean, no smell, no fuss. If you cook regularly and care about reducing waste, this is a fantastic buy. Highly recommend it.

Ce composteur électrique est vraiment top pour réduire les déchets de cuisine sans effort. Il est simple à utiliser, silencieux et ne dégage aucune odeur, ce qui le rend parfait pour un usage intérieur. En plus, le compost obtenu est idéal pour les plantes, tout en faisant un geste concret pour l’environnement.

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.

Works way better than anticipated!! A 'full' bucket for me takes around 8 hours (never remember to accurately time it). I put in: egg shells, fruit and veg scraps (cut up bigger things like watermelon rind, lemons/orange peels), stale crackers/chips, coffee grounds, paper towel, meal leftovers, fridge leftovers that start to scare me. I have used it five times so far. Comes out as fluffy, dry 'soil' that I compile in a rubbermaid container, but, need to figure out how to use it in the garden without the dogs getting into it, though! :) The first batch I threw into the garden, they hoovered up. The unit looks to be great quality, and is 'good looking'. It is wayyy more quiet than I had expected, and love that very much, so it can run any time of day and not interfere with watching teevee, etc. I had a small concern when the bucket didn't just slide in easily, as it had the first two times, so e-mailed customer service, to make sure there was nothing amiss, and received a reply very quickly. It was friendly and helpful. Was very impressed with this - thank you! Instruction booklet is great - clear, helpful. I like the larger capacity bucket, compared to some others, and the price point. Well worth the investment!! 10/10 would recommend this composter, and look forward to its continued use at limiting our garbage output (we live rural, so having an outdoor composter isn't ideal with wildlife, never mind the effort and overall time it takes for it to break down), and we also have to take our garbage to the dump, so having less garbage to deal with/pay for is great).
