The article reviews three kitchen composters: the Mill, the Reencle, and the FoodCycler Eco 5. The Mill is a large machine that can process up to 40 pounds of food waste at a time and sends the resulting grounds to a farm in Washington state for use as chicken feed. It has a capacity of 6.5 liters and runs on electricity.
The Reencle, on the other hand, is a compact unit that can also handle large amounts of food waste. It has a smaller capacity of 3 liters but claims to produce "compost" after several cycles. The article notes that the result doesn't look like compost, but it's been ground down to some bare-bones food bits.
The FoodCycler Eco 5 is another option for kitchen composters. It's also compact and can handle large amounts of food waste. However, it produces shredded food bits after several cycles rather than true compost.
All three machines have their pros and cons, but the Mill stands out as having the best ease of use and requiring the least amount of work on a user's part. The Reencle is also compact and quiet, making it a good option for those who want to avoid large machines in their kitchen. However, it produces shredded food bits rather than true compost.
The article concludes that while none of the three machines perfectly address the issue of what to do with food waste absent a yard or compost pile, they all have some benefits and can be useful tools for reducing waste in the kitchen.
Rating:
* Mill: 4.5/5 (ease of use, quiet operation)
* Reencle: 3.5/5 (compact design, quiet operation)
* FoodCycler Eco 5: 3/5 (shredded food bits rather than true compost)
Recommendation:
If you're looking for a kitchen composter that is easy to use and produces usable compost, the Mill is a good option. However, if you have limited space or prefer a compact design, the Reencle may be a better choice. The FoodCycler Eco 5 is a good option for those who want to reduce waste in their kitchen but don't need true compost.

. Like, can't we just get on board with reducing our trash already? But anyway, back to these kitchen complers... I think The Mill is the way to go, but only if you're willing to shell out a bit more cash 
. It's like investing in your future self - all that food waste going to good use as chicken feed is actually kinda cool 
.
. I mean, who wants a tiny machine taking up space in their kitchen? And the shredded bits thing? No thanks 
. But hey, if you want to reduce waste without making any changes to your lifestyle, these might be decent options.
. Reduce, Reuse, Recycle... it's like, basic math, people! 
. the mill seems like the best option because it sends the waste to a farm in washington state, sounds legit but maybe that's just a clever way for them to control the supply chain 
it's crazy! anyway, i'm loving the Mill's idea of sending leftover chicken feed to farms 
. I mean, the Mill is literally sending food waste to farms as chicken feed - isn't that genius? 
And the Reencle and FoodCycler Eco 5 might not produce traditional compost, but they're still helping reduce waste in our kitchens which is a major win for me 
. What really gets me though is how much space these compact designs are taking up - it's like we can finally tackle this food waste issue without having to dedicate an entire room to it 
isnt that impressive, it's just electric machine 
. And the article thinks the Reencle produces compost? 
that's just an excuse for it not being able to turn trash into actual soil. All three machines have pros and cons, but let's be real, they're all kinda garbage 
I'm so done with food waste 
.
. And the FoodCycler Eco 5... yeah, it's still better than throwing your food waste in the trash, right? 
I mean, we're finally seeing some innovation in reducing food waste and making our lives easier. The Mill is a total game-changer with its large capacity and ease of use - it's like having your own mini-farm in the comfort of your home! 
they got that chicken feed thing goin on which is actually pretty genius. and its quiet too, i know some ppl might be worried about it bein loud or somethin. but like, if you can get it to work with minimal fuss, why not right? the reencle is a good option for smaller spaces tho, and its cheap 
. The Reencle and FoodCycler Eco 5 are just kinda... shredding food waste at this point 
. Don't get me wrong, they're still helping reduce waste, but I think we should be striving for more eco-friendly solutions, you know? Like, a community composting program or something 
. Anyway, the Mill does seem like a solid choice if you want to just plug and forget (no pun intended) 
. The FoodCycler Eco 5 seems like it's just okay - it doesn't make actual compost, so what's the point? 
. Overall, I think they're all kinda meh 
.
but what about when it breaks down? 
at least the Reencle's quiet, that's a plus for the noisiest of households 
. Although, I gotta agree with the article that the result doesn't exactly look like compost... but hey, at least it's not just a bunch of trash, right? 
. But hey, to each their own, right? If you're into that sorta thing, go for it!
