Customer Reviews for Vitamix - FoodCycler FC-50 Bucket and Lid - Black

After a year of use the rotating arm in our original bucket became loose and no longer worked. The replacement bucket is sturdier and better made. However the original bucket shouldn’t have failed in a year of use.

Buckets would be great if they were larger,they fill up way too fast and then it takes 3 hours or more to get it back,other than that your on the right track.
Pros: Easy to use

Ordered just for when we have a lot of company and are producing a lot of compostables. Usually only have one bucket in use.

My dad taught me to always get the very best because you will never be disappointed. I am so glad we stepped up and got 2 of these mixers. They are easy to operate and they cut down on the waste. In fact, I am so happy with them that in a couple of months I will purchase 2 more for my other shop, Get the programmable. You will be happy!
Pros: Power

Seems sturdy but doesn't last long

We love our Recycler but have gone through two of these buckets in less than a year. At the price point for each bucket, plus the machine itself, it seems quite expensive to last less than six months.

I'm able to run 2-3 cycles of compost every day by having an extra bucket. Without this I'd have food waste piling up.
Pros: Programability, Speed of Service, Durability, Easy to use, Versatility, Product features, Power

Having a second back-up bucket and lid is awesome!! It doubles the output and is a cleaner alternative to bags and other containers.

Have had the unit for a month now, works great. Worth while getting the extra bucket for the unit. Good customer support so far.
