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.

Very good. It reduces food waste down to a fraction of the size. I then store it in an airtight jar and use it to feed compost worms

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.

As a family of four, we have fed up sorting food garbage. Having in the kitchen small bin in the cupboard with constantly stinks and fills up quickly wasn't working. One of our friends has bought this kitchen composter and has suggested an alternative. We have tried it over the week and delighted it with the results. There are no odors in the kitchen. Easy to operate. Nice and sleek design. You can also wash it in the dishwasher, which is a very handy option. All the composted food goes as compost to feed our flowers, so there is no need for extra vitamins. I am delighted with the results.

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.

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. +++++

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 !

Ich habe den Komposter gekauft, da ich immer mal wieder Abfälle in der Küche habe. Durch das Kompostieren ist am nächsten Morgen, wertvoller Dünger entstanden, welches ich für meine Balkonpflanzen verwende. Hier meine Pro und Contra Punkte: Pro: ✅ Umweltfreundlich & kompakt: Der elektrische Komposter passt gut in jede Küche und hilft, Bioabfälle direkt vor Ort zu verwerten. ✅ Einfache Bedienung: Automatischer Betrieb per Knopfdruck – ideal für den täglichen Gebrauch ohne viel Aufwand. ✅ Geruchsarm: Dank des geschlossenen Designs und Filtersystems entstehen kaum unangenehme Gerüche. ✅ Modernes Design: Das weiße Gehäuse wirkt schlicht und passt gut in moderne Küchen. Contra: ❌ Kleine Kapazität (3L): Für größere Haushalte oder viel Bioabfall eher zu klein. ❌ Preis: Im Vergleich zu herkömmlichen Komposteimern recht teuer. Fazit: Der elektrische Küchenkomposter ist eine praktische Lösung für Haushalte, die umweltbewusst leben möchten. Trotz kleiner Kapazität überzeugt er durch Komfort, Sauberkeit und einfache Handhabung.
