And let there be dirt...and it was good!The picture is the dirt out of the composter 6 hours after being egg shells, fruit scraps, part of a hamburger, potato peels and coffee grounds with the filter.We run it every other day and for the short cycle.Can't beat this for compost.

The media could not be loaded. Within two years of purchase with only sporadic use, the Lomi started to make an incredibly loud buzzing noise (video with sound attached). So loud it could only be turned on when we left the house. Company’s response? We can buy a new one, or an extended warranty for “only” $240/year! Not a joke. Obviously the product has some serious design/durability problems and their answer is for the customer to just spend more money.

Loving my new Lomi! I was hesitant because I saw some reviews that there was a smell. It’s in my kitchen, so I was concerned. There is absolutely no smell at all! I will say the different setting produce a different end product. The first pic is the fast, eco setting which takes 4-6 hours. The clumps are what I got from the slow setting called “Grow Mode”. I like love that I can take the “dirt” out and sprinkle on my yard. So much better than throwing away all those scraps and coffee grounds! Thank you Lomi!

I was very happy with my Lomi until it broke. Judging from online information and YouTube videos, the fan is the weakness of the product. Removing the fan is tricky because they've glued the connection. Given that I was 2 months past the warranty, the only options Lomi gave me were to buy a new one or purchase a $60-every-3-months warranty. I've already paid $529 for a product that didn't last. Why would I do that again?

I have to say after making this purchase immediately started having a change of heart after seeing some of the reviews. So many postings of how something so expensive didn’t do the job. That the initial trials were wet, or not sufficiently crushed and I was like ooh ish did I just make a whopping mistake though I wanted an indoor composter. So I knew I was gonna try it the moment it showed up and boy did this puppy deliver. I did a full bucket as it’s Thanksgiving weekend so I had a mix of wet and dry as well as egg shells and shellfish. I barely heard the machine as it ran in the eco default mode and when it was done and I looked, voila I had compost! As that was the reason I got this machine so I’d stop throwing out scraps into the environment, I’m a happy gal. If it breaks down early or stop working before it’s time then you’ll hear my mouth again.

Okay, she just arrived and upon opening the box my initial reaction was “OMG THIS IS MASSIVE!” Even though I watched videos and read reviews, I never truly grasped how large this gal truly is! My boyfriend and I are Whole Food Plant Based/Frugavores and our initial concern was that this wouldn’t be large enough to handle how much fruit and vegetables we consume on a daily bases. I will aim to write a review again once we have used the machine, but I have a feeling this is going to be amazing! I can’t wait!!

I’ve been shopping on NiceShine since 1995 and have purchased thousands of products over that time. I believe this is only the second negative review that I’ve ever submittedAfter careful research, I purchased a Lomi composter on December 12, 2022. The return window closed on January 31, 2023 (50 days later).This composter is a good idea and seems to be sturdily constructed. However, I think the parent company (Pela) put this item on the market before working out all of the kinks.There are a variety of problems with this product, only one of which will I describe here.When we received our Lomi composter, we read the instruction manual carefully and followed all of the included instructions. Initially, the composter worked as advertised, and we were very pleased. However, a few months after we began using our Lomi, we found that composted kitchen waste was baked onto the bottom of the bucket (see attached picture). This happens about once every three or four times we use the composter.Sometimes, this baked-on compost is thick enough that it jams the rotor. More often, the rotor will still turn. Sometimes, I can carefully remove the baked-on compost with a plastic tool (again, see the attached photo). Other times, I have to soak it out (thus, rehydrating what I’ve just paid to dehydrate); the consequent swelling can also jam the rotor.The only other person I know who has a Lomi composter has reported experiencing the same problem.I don’t know what causes this problem. However, I’ve noticed that after the light comes on to indicate that the Lomi is cooling, the light indicating that the Lomi is drying remains on. If the machine is supposed to be cooling but it’s still drying (hence, heating), maybe that could cause this problem.In any case, although I strongly support winter composting and, thus, conserving landfill space, I cannot in good conscience recommend this Lomi composter.

I bought this due to living where I cannot compost. It makes such clean compost in your home with no smell. Omg I love this and it is well worth it. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
