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

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.

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.

I was very pleased with the Ouaken electric composter. The product performed exactly as described. It was quiet, odourless and efficient in reducing the waste to fine compost. The quality is very solid with an easily removed lid, bucket and filter. I would happily recommend this composter.

I’ve been really impressed with the Ouaken electric composter so far. I’ve used it four times now, and it’s been easy and reliable each time. On my first run, I used the “crush” mode with a mix of kitchen waste — vegetable peels, fruit scraps, bits of leftover meals, as well as some brown cardboard and paper towels. The result was a dry, brown, powdery material which had a faint ‘oniony’ smell, but wasn’t unpleasant. There was virtually no smell during the cycle I then tried the “ferment” mode. This cycle took quite a bit longer — around 14–15 hours — but interestingly, the end result wasn’t dramatically different. The output was slightly softer in texture compared to the crush mode. However, it was virtuously odourless. I’ve since added the composted material to some raised flower beds to see how it performs over time. So far, I’m hopeful it will break down nicely and improve the soil — and I’m also curious to see whether it attracts any wildlife like foxes, although given the lack of smell, I’m hopeful it won’t. Overall, I’m very happy with the product. It’s simple to use, handles a wide range of household waste, and produces a clean output with minimal odour. However, the Teflon coating in the bucket has started to wear slightly and I am concerned this will only get worse. I have emailed Ouaken who responded quickly, but just said this is to be expected over time (I’ve only owned it a week) and given me a link to buy a new bucket if required. Time will tell whether the compost mixture improves my garden and whether the bucket lasts!

🌟 5‑Star Review: Absolutely Outstanding 4‑Litre Electric Kitchen Composter 🌟 We honestly don’t know what we ever did without this little powerhouse. We were looking for a way to deal with our everyday kitchen waste while also producing our own compost for our smallholding and greenhouse. After a bit of research, we came across this 4‑litre electric composter on Amazon — and what a discovery it turned out to be. From the very first day, it impressed us. We put in our usual food waste and it produced a beautifully smooth, rich compost that we could use straight away. That alone ticked every box we had. Then we decided to really put it to the test. Fresh orange peel? Perfect compost. Wet melon scraps? The compost came out wetter — understandably — so we went back to the user guide. This model gives excellent advice on balancing green and brown waste, so we added some chopped cardboard and ran it again. The results were even better. Once you follow the green/brown ratio, the machine performs like a dream. We’ve now used it every single day for nearly a week, and each time we open it we’re genuinely excited to see the results. It’s become part of our daily routine, and it has completely eliminated our kitchen food waste. The value for money is exceptional. We bought the 4‑litre version, and while we now wonder whether a 10‑litre model might have been useful, this one does exactly what we need it to do — brilliantly. We can’t sing its praises enough. If you want to turn your kitchen waste into beautiful homemade compost with zero fuss, we would highly recommend this product to anyone. It’s simply brilliant.

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.

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!

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).

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!👍😁🌱🪴

OMG I LOVE THIS THING! I am a fanatic composter, and I am not allowed to compost here. And there is no municipal kitchen waste pick up. This machine fits easily on my table and within 12-18 hours converts all manner of biodegradable stuff into this lovely perfectly barely moist, crumbly substance. No smell whatsoever. I have only used the "ferment" option, and I don't even have my garden beds ready to receive compost. I'm just thrilled that I'm not throwing kitchen scraps away! Nothing is getting stinky in the trash before I can empty it. I suppose the $1000 versions of these inside composters are "better" in the output maybe? I dunno. My main goal is achieved--reduce waste. I don't know how accessible the nutrients will be...I have been putting the finished product in a 5 gallon bucket, awaiting the raised beds. It makes weird noises--like there's a ghost in the house-- but it's not loud. People who are some kind of weird purists are saying "It's not compost"--- idk what definition they are using, but it is compost. There is still "nutritional" value in the result; my red worms are thriving in it. (I moved the compost to a 35 gal garbage "can" until my beds are ready. The beds are going to be a modified hugelkultur-- large branches on the bottom, smaller branches, wood chips, chicken and goat manure filling in the spaces, then a layer of this compost and finally a planting mix of sifted soil w/ aged manure and compost for the top 10". And worms) You do have to be somewhat careful about what you add-- I have to add quite a bit of dry material like torn up paper towel and toilet paper rolls, used paper towels, etc, depending on how much moist kitchen waste went in. Fibrousy things have to be cut in small pieces-- like flower stems, celery, etc. Also, empty the bucket right away before the compost dries inside--I've had to chip away at organic material stuck under the arm. UPDATE: I've loved this composter for 8 months and the last time i emptied it, the blades fell off, including the gear mechanism. Looks maybe like the anchoring screw broke right off? Haven't heard a peep back from the company. I am changing my review to ONE STAR down from FIVE STARS because wtf? $300 and it doesn't last a year? I'm frankly grieving because I need to compost!!! And customer service is really paramount imo to get a good review. Don't sell stuff if you can't stand behind it. SECOND UPDATE!!! Changing my review to FIVE STARS again because I heard back from customer service after a few days, and since the product was still under warranty, they sent me another inner bucket! It just arrived last night and works perfectly. It came from China, so it took a while, but I was able to track the shipment. So THANK YOU for the customer service which totally came through!! I just hope this one doesn't fall apart in another 8 months?
