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

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 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.

I recently started using this Electric Composter, and I must say, I am thoroughly impressed! From the moment I set it up, it has exceeded my expectations! First and foremost, the noise level is practically non-existent. You won’t even notice it running in the background—it’s that quiet! This makes it perfect for running overnight without any disturbances. The design is sleek, modern, and fits seamlessly on my kitchen counter, giving it a clean and high-tech look. What truly stands out is its versatility. It accepts almost everything we generate in a typical household kitchen—vegetable peels, fruit scraps, food leftovers, paper bags, cardboard, and other biodegradable items. It’s amazing how efficiently it handles all of this without any issues. Plus, the compost it produces is odour-free, making it incredibly convenient and hygienic to manage food waste. The product doesn’t heat up during operation, so I feel confident leaving it on the counter without any worries. The auto-cleaning feature is a lifesaver, and the dishwasher-safe bucket makes maintenance a breeze. No mess, no hassle, and no handling of unpleasant waste—just clean, easy composting. Overall, this Electric Composter has transformed the way I manage kitchen waste. It’s efficient, quiet, safe, and incredibly user-friendly. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a sustainable and hassle-free way to deal with food waste. Five stars from me!

I’d grown tired of wrestling with those smelly food-waste liners, and by Tuesday the bin already smelt like last week’s curry. This little countertop composter arrived as a breath of fresh air, square and compact, about the size of our old bread-maker. It swallows roughly four litres of peelings, coffee grounds and the occasional eggshell without complaint. Tap the touch panel on the lid, the blades start whirring, and a tiny window lets you watch the shredding if you are that way inclined. The best surprises came first. A full cycle finishes in just under three hours and the hum is no louder than the fridge, so I often set it going after washing-up and forget about it until morning. The carbon filter genuinely works, my notoriously sensitive-nosed collie no longer sniffs around the kitchen bin. Cleaning is easy too - there is a rinse setting and the bucket pops straight into the dishwasher when it needs a proper scrub. All said, the machine feels solid, looks smart on the worktop, and the dry, earthy crumbs it produces have already perked up the soil in my raised beds. For a medium-sized family keen to keep food waste out of the wheelie bin, it has earned its place next to the kettle.

Amazing machine!! Runs super quietly 👍🏼 looks very modern! The instructions are very easy to follow, I am very happy with is. Its a great eco friendly approach and it will be very beneficial to my plants

Did not realise how much waste. Egg shells tea bags coffee grounds plus peelings. All has been composted down to go on the veg bed. I feel that it is not waste but compost now.

Broke after 2 Months

This is great! I asked my kids (22yr olds) to go half’s with me for Christmas 🎄 They laughed and thought I’d lost the plot but it really is just fabulous. Doesn’t take long to turn lots of food, scraps, and various other small dusty things into either compost or crushed! Would recommend this to anyone who has a glut of food waste, or an allotment.

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.

It is very easy to use; it is a high quality, well made appliance, I could hardly hear it working, it runs so quietly. The finished product of the crush mode, (which is what I use) was some dark, small amount of dry material which is easily poured into another collection container, awaiting my using it outside on my plants. There is no odor whatsoever. The lower part of the picture shows the crumbly finished product, ready for my outside

This is a great little machine. I followed the directions for what to add, and used the "crush" feature first. Within 4 hours, the machine heated, crushed, and reduced the veg/coffee ground/eggshell mixture into a nice dark dirt. The bin side reduced the veg matter from a full bucket to about a 1/4. So efficient! It's quiet and odor-free. I'm trying the "ferment" cycle next, and putting the results in a giant tub to use for the garden in spring. I've been researching these table-top machines for a while, and I'm so happy with the Oauken composter.

This composter is great, quiet and takes no time for it to compost, no smell it’s Super easy to use and cleans up without any elbow grease at all.

It is amazing to me how well this product works. First of all it’s VERY quiet. You hardly notice it (I was sitting nearby). I had started it in the evening and when I got up the next morning it was done crushing. The consistency of the end product was a bit coarse and a little stringy but it was dry and greatly reduced in size. I was very pleased. I had started out w/about the bucket being slightly more than half full of scraps and ended up w/less than 2 cups of “compost”. I have not yet tried the “ferment” cycle as I’m not yet in need of actual fertilizer. The only downside was the “earthy” smell as it was crushing the scraps. So I have moved the composter farther away from where I tend to sit and that will no longer be an issue. I think this product works very well and I’m very pleased with my purchase.
