Nutrichef 3L Electric Kitchen Composter - Compost’s Organic Material & Food Scraps | Countertop Automatic Compost Bin | Dry, Crush, & Cooling Functions | Perfect for Kitchens & Apartments | White

I recently bought the NutriChef 3L Kitchen Composter, and I’m really happy with it so far. The delivery was super quick, which was a nice start, and setting it up was a breeze—just open it up, pop in your food scraps, and let it do the rest. One of my favourite things is how good it looks on my kitchen counter. It doesn’t take up much space, and it blends nicely with my other appliances. I also love that it helps cut down on waste, and the charcoal filter seems to do a great job at keeping smells under control. Cleaning it is really simple too; just rinse the bucket when it’s time to empty it. Overall, I’d definitely recommend this composter if you want a fuss-free way to deal with food scraps and help the environment at the same time. It’s stylish, efficient, and super easy to use—all the things I was hoping for!

I tried to make pre-compost from coffee grounds, breadcrumbs, and a small amount of fish. For the first hour, the unit exuded a smell of roasting breadcrumbs. I went away for a couple of hours. When I came back, the entire house was stinking of rotten fish. Every single room. The filter was new of course, and I removed the labels and followed all instructions. The rubber seals were present and intact. Despite that, the filter clearly didn't work. I ended up with nausea, a headache, and a running nose. The instruction manual claims fish is appropriate for the composter. It wasn't salmon, or smoked haddock, or pilchards or anything like that. It was cod. And it was a forkful. Less than a tablespoon. And it was only a few hours old at the time. I have ovened and air fried entire fillets of cod hundreds of times in my life. I've even burnt fish in the oven, and I've still never smelt something as horrible as what this supposedly filtered composter produced. The instruction manual claims that it has an ozone generator. The unit I received either doesn't have one or it's faulty. I had to use my industrial ozone generator to remove the fish stink, treating one room of the house at a time. The filter change light switched on immediately after the first and only time I used it, instead of in 6 months. The filter light reset function fails to work, so there's at least one electronic fault. If the instruction manual didn't lie about the ozone generator, there are at least two distinct electronic faults. After using it once, the filter stinks of rotten fish.

Product is incredibly useful, especially for garden and vegetable patch enthusiasts. It's great for nature and helps improve soil quality. It dries and grinds organic waste efficiently, with each cycle taking several hours. I recommend running it overnight. For larger scraps like watermelon rinds, it's best to cut them into smaller pieces beforehand. It exceeded my expectations: there's no unpleasant odor, and the filter works perfectly. +++++

I bought this composter three months ago and followed all the instructions to the letter. Only added the correct food as per the manual, chopped it up into little pieces and cleaner regularly. I was so happy with it until it just stopped spinning and grinding the compost. So now it will dehydrate stuff but not break it down at all. Once you purchase there is no way to contact the seller for a replacement and I wish I'd read the reviews more thoroughly before purchasing as multiple other people have had this exact same issue. Purchase from a seller with a sign posted warranty and make sure you can contact them if anything goes wrong otherwise you're literally throwing away money. I'm so disappointed in this, worst purchase of 2025.

The NutriChef 3L Electric Kitchen Composter is a convenient solution for reducing daily food waste right in your kitchen. Its compact size fits easily on countertops while still handling a surprising amount of scraps. The machine runs quietly and efficiently, turning leftovers into usable compost in just a few hours. Its simple controls make it beginner-friendly, even for those new to composting. Overall, it's a practical and eco-friendly addition to any home looking to minimize waste.

Worked ok for a bit although smelly, so didn’t use it much - and stopped working a month after the return date expired, best I can tell it seems there it is not a way to get it fixed, Amazon is not helpful at all. Put compositing result on one of my indoor plants and it killed it. Don’t think we will bother with a replacement.

Had this unit a week and was delighted with the fine compost material it generated . Then the filter light and the clean light went on and nothing we could do made them go off. It was however making great compost. got in touch with nutrichef who arranged a replacement Replacement had the exact same failure out of the box . Both clean and filter lights on and cannot reset. Additionally the replacement made very lumpy and not properly broken up compost , so ths one was duly returned instead. We decided to put up with the idiosyncratic display issues. Then tonight ,2 weeks later it died . Nothing happens except beeping when you press the start button. So I've reached out again to nutrichef. When this unit works its a great little unit, quiet , makes great compost .. But the firmware is very suspect. Ill give nutrichef one more chance to get me a good unit and then I'm looking elsewhere

Worked really well for six months then simply stopped working.

Reading through all the other reviews, I get the impression all 4 and 5-star reviews are from recent purchases. Whereas the 1-star reviews are all from people who've used the Composter over a longer period. After about 3 months, the heater in my composter died. With the lovely result that it now only produces a slimey soup. Which is useless for composting. And looks disgusting. NutriChef support is nonexistent. Amazon replied to one email and then stopped. There appears to be no way for me to return what is now a device that only makes disgusting soup. I don't need a device for that; I can do that on my own.

Easy to use, no smell, no mess, very convenient. Resultant mixture perfect for the garden or potted plants.

I am amazed by this compost machine, it's capacity and the results. This is a wonderful alternative if you need to have less garbage and it fits pretty much all the waste from one day. There are many food items that can be handled in the bin - from fruits to coffee grinds to many, many other items. There is no noise with this machine and it only takes few hours to transform all your waste into perfect, ready to use flower and garden compost. The size is perfect for small spaces and also its look is very modern making it a perfect addition to our kitchen. The instruction book is easy to follow and there is nothing major to assemble. The materials are sturdy and dishwasher safe. Definitely a great and affordable solution.

je suis vraiment satisfaite de la rapidité avec laquelle cet article m'a été échangé, merci ! ce composteur est génial, sans odeur et silencieux, c'est l'avenir des composteurs cuisine !

I had to return it, it took down half of my house electricity when I used it for the first time even though I used a whole unit by itself to avoide such an issue.
