This electric kitchen composter turns food scraps into usable compost material in as little as 3 hours, using a combination of drying, grinding, and cooling to reduce food waste by up to 90%. It's designed for apartment and small-kitchen setups where an outdoor compost bin isn't practical.
The 4L bucket suits daily food waste for a household, and the compact footprint (39.8L x 34.4W x 42.5H cm) fits neatly on a kitchen countertop. A built-in carbon filter controls odour throughout the process the filter lasts up to 5 months before needing replacement.
How it works:
Choose from three modes depending on what you need:
- Crush mode – reduces waste volume and odour quickly, using less energy
- Ferment mode – runs a longer cycle for higher-quality compost output
- Clean mode – auto-cleans the bucket and interior after use
Operation stays under 40dB, quiet enough to run overnight. The bucket is dishwasher-safe for easy cleanup between cycles.
Note: For best results, empty the bucket fully before starting a new cycle leftover material from a previous batch can extend run time, increase power use, and cause clumping.
Pair this with a Zenify Earth Stainless Steel Compost Caddy to collect scraps at the bench throughout the day, then process them here when the caddy's full.
