Can't get enough of it

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Have always loved to compost my leftover healthy foods and use it in my plants and garden. So this product is perfect for me. It does take up to 9 hours to process one bucket full of honeydew but the outcome is a dried odorless almost like dirt. As you can see in my photo. I'm currently working on my second batch which will be all of my rotten zucchini. It seems to be processing much faster and I think it's because it was softer than the honeydew. I am going to sprinkle this into my plants and hope that it helps with the nutrients that they need.
Pros: Other
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I opened my FoodCycler by Vitamix Eco 5 as soon as it arrived. The instructions were easy to follow, and the setup was so simple. I had some grapes that were just going bad, so I threw them in. The Vitamix FoodCycler is quiet and leaves no smell. I really love that I will be able to use my food scraps to compost my garden. This machine is a game changer.
Pros: Durability, Easy to use, Product features

Excited to up my gardening

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am so excited to up my gardening skills with the Vitamix FoodCycler. I was surprised that the unit has a bit of weight to it. We are keeping it in our laundry room. It doesn’t take up much counter space. I left food waste in it for about 3 days with absolutely no odor coming from the unit with it closed. My first time trying it was with egg shells, coffee & tea grounds & some organic waste. It was only about a 1/3 full & took about 4 hours. The unit was very quiet while running. And so easy to use. The waste bucket was a touch warm when it finished. I’m excited to see how my garden does this summer with the fertilizer from my FoodCycler.

This is the best new addition to my home!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was my first time creating my own compost for my yearly garden, I usually have to purchase compost and hope it has good ingredients. I am so excited I can now create my own and know what the ingredients are in it. I love reducing my footprint on the earth while creating my own food at the same time using leftovers that would normally go into a landfill. The size of this is large and holds up to five liters of capacity, due to the size of the machine I decided to put it in my laundry room on its own table so I could have easy access. It is easy to move with one person and set up within five minutes. You can choose from eight different phases and once you pick the phase you want, you simply begin with the press of a single button. I love the quiet cycle for during the night, it’s a great feature for those who do not like noises from their machine. I’ve already purchased the refillable carbon filter and have it on standby for refill! I highly recommend this new item from Vitamix, you will not be disappointed!
