Better than expected

I compared multiple food cyclers/composters for 2 years. I decided on the Eco 5 due to VitaMix quality, warranty and item structure. This handles everything and I do not put it bones other than chicken. It is very quiet and it is heavy. Once you have it out and set there is no need to worry about the weight. Very easy to use--only one setting. I think the only smell is when it's finished the smell is similar to coffee grounds. Down sides: plastic and charcoal holder is in plastic and plastic bag. One warning: my dog smells the finished product and eats it so I can't put it anywhere in garden or flower beds. I live in a cold climate so outdoor composting only works a couple months in the year.

Wonderful machine, minor design recommendation/wis

Absolutely love the Foodcycler from Vitamix. Super quiet, powerful, and versatile. Usual cycle lasts 4-6 hours, need to be careful to not overfill. One minor design issue is the seating of the container into the machine itself is not intuitive. It takes several attempts to get the container to fully seat into the machine. Wish that there was a clearer indicator for initial seating and "locking into position" indicators on the machine.
Pros: Speed of Service, Durability, Easy to use, Product features, Power

Best appliance ever!

Along with my Vitamix blender, this is one of the most frequently used appliances in my kitchen. I have a large summer garden each year and commonly used large compost bins that I never had time to properly maintain. The cost made me hesitant but it has paid for itself in the amount of quality compost. Every time I run a cycle I'm amazed and tell everyone about it. This appliance is a total game changer for a gardener.

Much better than traditional composting. We have made wonderful food for my garden plants and I'm so happy we're not wasting anything by using the FoodCycler. Excellent investment.

Couldn’t be happier! Having tried the traditional composting ‘thing,’ at great cost, inconvenience and angst, we decided to give this a try. It has more than met our expectations. We bought it about 6 weeks ago and have used many times (more than I would have expected). We’re using it once or twice a week. It’s quiet, efficient and effective. Well worth what we paid; highly recommended.

We have used curbside pickup for years. We bought the 5L for our family of seven to see if it could handle our volume. It does! We run it nightly, so every morning we start fresh.
