It does not produce composite. Have a look at Garden Fundamentals on electronic composters. Anyone pushing such a product is either simply uneducated on the subject or is simply has a vested interest in the product. most of such products are essentially scams.
@@chrisvig123 even more so, it will potentially stunt plant growth as it breaks down in. It dosn't produce loam soil, it produces lame soil. Don't even get me started on their phone case.

It dries the food and then minces it. This is not a composter and the product is not soil. It requires additional energy to make this 'not-soil'. Once the product is added to soil, it will then decompose (after rehydrating by pulling water out of the soil). Why not skip these energy wasteful steps and simply get an actual composter? If you lack a yard, get a vermi-composter.
This is very similar to a composter. Usually composting takes quite a bit more time but it's still achieves its purpose. To not have wasteful things accumulating in the landfill. You can absolutely mix this with any composting soil or even the soil in your yard. Everything in this bucket is completely full of nutrients everything plants need to grow. I wouldn't doubt it if you can grow a plant with just this alone.
So there is a mode where it does turn it into actual soil. It's the "grow mode" and the soil comes out dark black, like actual soil. However, I don't think this is worth it. As you said, you're actually using electricity to run the thing. I saw one review that says you're going to spend on average 14 cents every time it runs. By the time you have enough compost to fill a $7 bag you could just buy from the Home Depot, you most certainly will have spent more than $7 worth of electricity, not to mention the $160 a year you're spending for the charcoal and pellets. You can build a compost bin like I did for $75 and end up with much more compost when you throw your food waste and fall leaves, etc.
If you actually tried to grow anything using the material that comes out of this "composter," I doubt it would do well. It doesn't compost anything. You're paying for your scraps to get heated up, dried, and ground up. The only breaking down of waste that is happening is that it's being grinded into that fluff with none of the microbial activity required to release the nutrients back into the soil. Not to mention they ask you to subscribe to their monthly refills of their lomi pods and charcoal filters which is a common marketing tactic to keep you spending more after your huge investment. You may as well just use a hairdryer on your scraps and throw them in the food processor. The end result will be the same.
Sleepy Doge...I guess I'll never know for sure how well it will help things grow, until I actually do it. I'm going to start dumping the compost into my backyard in about a month, after I plant something new, and I'll let you know how it goes.
Agree. Food wastes can be decomposed by the nature. The only thing it helps is probably the smell of the trash ( outside in the side yard). Product and monthly subscription are too expensive. If anyone wants to help the environment just use less plastic products.
@@FitnessFinance4u There's a youtube channel called Garden Fundamentals that did this test but with another product. The composter failed. I would love to see you do the same test but with Lomi

Kevan, I use the Lomi on "eco" mode all the time for the lowest energy use. Here's what the website says about energy consumption. ""How much power does Lomi use? Lomi uses between 0.6 to 1.0 kWh per cycle, depending on the mode and cycle time. Cycle times range from 5 hours to 20 hours. In comparison to other appliances, each Lomi's cycle uses roughly the same amount of power required to operate an oven for 15 minutes."
It is and the pods are just too expensive , while it’s running where do I put my garbage ..and yes the electrical cost….dadadadada…lifetime warranty ? But it’s a great start , I would consider it once I figure out the electrical impact on both my bills and envt …
Lizzy...I agree its not perfect, but it's a good start. Fyi...this may seem gross, but I put my food bits in a bowl and stick it in my refrigerator while the Lomi is running. Eliminates the smell. You can even put them in the freezer.
It's anti-eco-friendly. It uses a lot of energy to fry and grind the scraps. It's basically an air fryer/grinder that runs for many hours and does not produce real compost, just dehydrated scraps.
Lizzy, let's start at the beginning. A Chinese company made this breadmaker with a modified timer so it can run for up to 12 hrs. The factory polluted the environment to assemble the non biodegradable plastic, rare earth metals electric motors and electronic components. It was shipped to the USA using a diesel powered container ship. A diesel truck delivered it to the customers. Now, you plug it in to use a kWh of electricity per cycle. I'm sure it's the 4 hrs long one. But they recommend the 12 hrs long one in real life. The electricity is coming from a power plant burning fossil fuels (most likely). All this just to dry out your leftover salad! Which is still not compost. So you throw the "dirt" into the trash anyway. Because it's a badly modified breadmaker, it's not meant to be running for 12 hrs. Many people reported that it broke down after a few months. So the device will end up in the landfill.
Compost is decayed organic matter that is broken down by various insects and micro organisms. What this machine does is dehydrate food and then grinds the pieces into smaller pieces. It is a $500 food dehydrator. It uses a lot of electricity and you have to keep buying filters. If thats okay with you, have fun.
@@FitnessFinance4u I watched this second review, very honest, although I think you are being too kind toward the Lomi company. Anyone who is thinking of buying this piece of junk should watch your video. I take my food scapes and put them in a blender that I got at a Goodwill Store and make a puree. I dig a hole in the garden and dump the puree in. It is a buffet for worms and animals do not go near it.
Mark, I took it to another room for a couple of reasons. One, I live in a home built in 1927 and it doesn't have many electrical outlets, so I didn't want to blow a fuse if I plugged it in and ran it next to my coffee maker, small convection oven, or blender (which I would probably use at some point in the afternoon). Second, it makes a little bit of noise, and sense I was going to be on video calls all day, and the Lomi runs for 5 hours, I wanted it in a room as far away from me as possible.
Energy consumption… and you still have to put it in your green bin? Just put your scraps in your green bin. It can’t create real compost as it can’t break down cellulose to create a compost that is bioavailable. Either do it right or just throw you stuff in the green bin.
This is common sense. Sadly, people wrote to me in the comments that THEY NEED this! When you explain to them it would cost the same energy to put it in the microwave they just give you an empty stare... Another RUclipsr used this "dirt" to try to grow something in it. He only got good results when he mixed 75% compost and 25 % this dry stuff...
Da Terminator, the jury is still out on bioplastics, but you can look at this article here for more info. e360.yale.edu/features/why-bioplastics-will-not-solve-the-worlds-plastics-problem
We live in CA too so we're in the same boat. Looking for alternatives to composting and found your review. Glad I discovered your channel - I look forward to watching some of your other fitness videos.
Thank you. That was more informative than anything on the lomi website. I also appreciate these other comments below. I guess I will stick with worms. Thanks again.
@@turtlecrawling66 You can make real compost in five gallon buckets using worms. It takes very little time, money and space. There's no smell or mess when you're doing it correctly. Lots of tutorials on this - search for "vermicomposting."
😂😂😂the energy put into making that much dried material is just as bad if not more than straight to your green bin. Wait! Did you say you threw it in the green bin after all that🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️!
@@chrisvig123 I am actually extremely happy with my Lomi. Works exactly as it states, I no longer have a smelly bag of garbage waiting to go out, and I have not even one complaint.
While the idea is great, the execution isn't. * You have to spend $160 a year on pellets and charcoal * You have to actually use electricity. How exactly is that helping the environment? * The only mode that actually produces soil that you can throw in your garden bed takes 24 hours to run, using even more electricity than the other modes If you have a house, just build yourself a compost bin like I did. $75 and it'll last me 20 years and I end up with enough compost to actually do something with it. The tiny amount made from this $500 device will take forever to fill up a 4 foot x 8 foot veggie bed.

Extremley surprised at how quickly it broke down the scraps. Thank goodness I have a small backyard where I bury my food scraps, I have been burying my food waste for years and my little garden is full of worms and grows huge tomato plants. Nice review. Tad to expensive and recurring fees not worth it.
You're doing things right! This simply dries the food and then minces it. It is not a composter and the product is not soil. The product can certainly be composted afterwards, but the additional energy used in the unnecessary preparatory steps makes this device not especially eco-friendly.
ELMC APP...I don't like to put meat scraps or avocado peals, etc. in the garbage disposal because it smells after a while and can attract flies and gnats and other uninvited guests. Plus I throw coffee grinds in my Lomi which I don't put in the garbage disposal.
@@FitnessFinance4u I've been using garbage disposals for years and NEVER ONCE had I had any issues with flies, _et cetera_ going near the thing. You have absolutely *0* idea what you're talking about.
I agree, when used correctly, garbage disposals are self cleaning. You cannot let food waste sit in them for days. I’ve also had garbage disposals for years and will not be without one.

Man, I wish that green bins were required here. I have the lomi and love it. Need to figure out the best way to use it though. I have 2 different freezer bins and use one for Lomi scraps and one for veggie broth. I even composted a pair of sunglasses in it! The only thing I do not like about the lomi is that you have to use the proprietary tablets. I would love to reduce monthly expenses.
1auntievenom...sounds like you are using it to its full extent. I agree about the tablets. I'm going to see if I can find less expensive tablets elsewhere to help with the pocket book. Let me know if you find any!
@@The1stDukeDroklar I live in the city and don't have space for that. I Also am a single mom, work full time and have 2 dogs. I eat only plants and am gluten free so all my food is from scratch.

@@1auntievenom Throw your food waste into your garbage disposal and grind it in that. It's a lot quicker and a lot less hassle, and its impact on your electrical bill will be a lot lower than Lomi.
Finally someone with some common sense. Some people live where bears, raccoons, and rodents visit on the daily and traditional composting isn’t an option.
0:03 "Doing your little part" Is actually worse for the environment than not doing any of this. Either do compost the right way or don't waste the electricity produced by coal fire boiler plants and nuclear plants. It's "eco" the same way a Tesla doesn't use "fossil fuels" but is recharged by coil and nuclear fission. And the batteries are made by open pit strip mining the earth for nonrenewable resources (lithium, cobalt, ect). But for the Hollywood Hill living, need to feel better about themselves "no gas, so good for environmental" mentally having suckers that got scammed. But have enough to not care about the loss or the amount of loss or even the power bill. Than it makes sense, "compost = environmental" but at what cost? Not saying anything about you in particular just ranting about how this product is a scam and terrible for the environment. ruclips.net/video/bXZG-kzlhPY/видео.html
1987FX16, I understand that people try to do the right thing and sometimes maybe it's not (at least for this moment in time). Maybe the Lomi is not as efficient right now, but I tend to think it will get better in the future. My view is that any new technology always takes a while to get better over time and we need to keep innovating to get "greener" in the future.
@@FitnessFinance4u Incorrect. This is a dehydrator and the amount of energy it takes to make the water within the ground-up food will never be reduced through technology. That is a scientific fact. These things are nothing more than an air fryer with a grinder.
probably a good idea to do some research BEFORE you review an item ; also; is this video ABOUT YOUR FACE OR ABOUT THE REVIEWED ITEM? Cause YOUR FACE SEEMS TO BE THE THING THAT IS SHOWN MOST OFTEN. Are you trying to learn acting on the job?
Someguydino...I did do research before reviewing this, so I'm confused by your comment. And yes, you will see my face a lot in this video and many other of my videos since I'm the one reviewing the items. And no, I don't want to be an actor.

Nobody Really, I can't do that. It would attract opossums, mice, rats, etc., not to mention maggots and flies, and my neighbors would not be happy..nor would I. That's why I bought the Lomi. Makes it easy to get rid of food waste and doesn't attract critters and keeps things sanitary.
@@FitnessFinance4u we have a bin called the greens bin. It’s for food scraps and plant material.. the council picks it up each fortnight. And I don’t pay electricity bill to dehydrate it. This product is a scam, it breaks down after a while and uses power that you pay for.. but whatever makes you happy..
@@FitnessFinance4u you’d be better off getting a 2 lt airfryer and drying your scraps in that on low heat. Takes about 90 minutes and your don’t.. don’t buy this stupid thing that stays on for days and increases your fire danger..
This thing is nothing more than an overpriced dehydrator/shredder. The manufacturer's outrageous claims border on fraudulent. Save yourself $500 and watch a tutorial on vermicomposting. It takes very little time, money and space.
It's a scam! Everything that that company makes is. If you say that whatever comes out of lumi is anything more than dryed and cut up waste that is NOT A COMPOST, you either don't have any idea what you are talking about or you are getting paid by them. Bad review
@@FitnessFinance4u I don't blame you for giving up on it, but you keep calling it compost which seems to legitimize it. It's just minced up and dehydrated food scraps, nothing at all to do with compost
you’re trying be as carbon neutral as possible by not putting food in a land fill where it comes from in the first place? where do you think food comes from? it grows in soil which is located in the ground lololol so in your mind putting food back into the place it came from is causing a problem? could it be that plastic and other toxic junk is causing a problem with the environment? let’s do something mathematical, you have four pound of waste. two pounds food, two pines plastic and other toxic garbage…..when that four pound reaches the land fill, which two pounds is causing the problem for the environment ? now you have four lines of toxic waste, going into the same land fill, it’s all toxic so what’s the solution, what do we do? hey i know how about reducing the toxic waste. sound like a plan? the two pounds of food, and two pines of toxins makes sense now, right. God forbid you throw food in with that clean garbage. That rotted food will destroy our planet. how stupid, and you fell for that
Gino, my food is not grown in a landfill in California. I'm not sure about other states, but that sounds pretty dangerous if it was. According to the EPA "Modern landfills are well-engineered and managed facilities for the disposal of solid waste. Landfills are located, designed, operated and monitored to ensure compliance with federal regulations. They are also designed to protect the environment from contaminants, which may be present in the waste stream." www.epa.gov/landfills/basic-information-about-landfills. Also, with the new law passed in CA, according to the LA Times, "Most (compost) will go to large composting centers or to plants that will convert it into natural gas.", not to landfills. www.latimes.com/california/story/2021-12-26/organic-waste-composting-law-2022-recycling#:~:text=Where%20will%20all%20this%20extra%20food%20waste%20go%3F&text=Most%20will%20go%20to%20large,convert%20it%20into%20natural%20gas. Like I said, maybe your state is different?
It is to reduce the methane in the landfills. Uses less electricity than any other appliance and although it is not fertilizer it can be put in the trash or composter and finish decomposing there no methane
It's a slightly modified bread making machine,using insane amount of energy for something the sun does for free.
Yh in a vast open field with rodents and insects constantly swarming around it
If your house is warmed by electricity it doesn't matter.

Energy consumption… and you still have to put it in your green bin? Just put your scraps in your green bin. It can’t create real compost as it can’t break down cellulose to create a compost that is bioavailable. Either do it right or just throw you stuff in the green bin.
You cook your trash to throw it away? I think the landfill might actually be better for the environment.
This is common sense. Sadly, people wrote to me in the comments that THEY NEED this! When you explain to them it would cost the same energy to put it in the microwave they just give you an empty stare... Another RUclipsr used this "dirt" to try to grow something in it. He only got good results when he mixed 75% compost and 25 % this dry stuff...
What are bio plastics? You can’t use plastics
Da Terminator, the jury is still out on bioplastics, but you can look at this article here for more info. e360.yale.edu/features/why-bioplastics-will-not-solve-the-worlds-plastics-problem
We live in CA too so we're in the same boat. Looking for alternatives to composting and found your review. Glad I discovered your channel - I look forward to watching some of your other fitness videos.
Thanks for watching Shae!
Do you have a garbage disposal? If you don't have a septic system, grind your food waste in it. Don't waste your money on this thing.
It's essentially a bread maker! Just get a 50$ bread maker
go and waste your money!
This guy is an idiot a scammer or both...
Thank you. That was more informative than anything on the lomi website. I also appreciate these other comments below. I guess I will stick with worms. Thanks again.
Glad it helped and thanks for watching Martha!
We have chickens, a big composter bin and rabbits, works really Well, doesn't consume power and you're not supporting a Company Selling a dryer.
Jeroen...sounds like you have a nice little ecosystem at your place.
Just because you’re in a good situation doesn’t mean that you accuse other people that are trying to do their part.
Apartment dweller checking in.
@@turtlecrawling66 You can make real compost in five gallon buckets using worms. It takes very little time, money and space. There's no smell or mess when you're doing it correctly. Lots of tutorials on this - search for "vermicomposting."
You're should try bread making machine because they are both the same.

Has the 6 month update been posted?
I'm working on it this weekend Daniel Zyska!
But that was a month ago that you wrote that… sooooo where’s it at?

I would not put plastics in it to use in a garden you eat from.
I think you are right on that one Sir Jhonson
😂😂😂the energy put into making that much dried material is just as bad if not more than straight to your green bin. Wait! Did you say you threw it in the green bin after all that🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️!
Lmao,
Right back into the same spot... bonkers, save all that money and clutter
Great video and I will go unpack my Lomi now. Thank you!
Have fun Sharon!
Return before you unwrap it and maybe you’ll get your money back…otherwise you will be sorry 😞
@@chrisvig123 I am actually extremely happy with my Lomi. Works exactly as it states, I no longer have a smelly bag of garbage waiting to go out, and I have not even one complaint.
@@sharongarcia9099 lol…we’ll see how long your happy with your broken Lomi and lifetime subscription!
While the idea is great, the execution isn't.
* You have to spend $160 a year on pellets and charcoal
* You have to actually use electricity. How exactly is that helping the environment?
* The only mode that actually produces soil that you can throw in your garden bed takes 24 hours to run, using even more electricity than the other modes
If you have a house, just build yourself a compost bin like I did. $75 and it'll last me 20 years and I end up with enough compost to actually do something with it. The tiny amount made from this $500 device will take forever to fill up a 4 foot x 8 foot veggie bed.
How is generating a ton of carbon generating a ton of electricity to run this thing saving the planet? YOU ARE AN IDIOT IF YOU THINK THIS MAKES SENSE! Yea, Lomi... $500 and another go around on the same thing as CLOey, Vitamix Food Cycler, Tero, or the ZERA...from back five or ten years ago... these are scam products... you're a grifter selling this...

Extremley surprised at how quickly it broke down the scraps.
Thank goodness I have a small backyard where I bury my food scraps, I have been burying my food waste for years and my little garden is full of worms and grows huge tomato plants.
Nice review. Tad to expensive and recurring fees not worth it.
Thanks for watching ogadl!
You're doing things right! This simply dries the food and then minces it. It is not a composter and the product is not soil. The product can certainly be composted afterwards, but the additional energy used in the unnecessary preparatory steps makes this device not especially eco-friendly.
why not a garbage disposal
ELMC APP...I don't like to put meat scraps or avocado peals, etc. in the garbage disposal because it smells after a while and can attract flies and gnats and other uninvited guests. Plus I throw coffee grinds in my Lomi which I don't put in the garbage disposal.
@@FitnessFinance4u I've been using garbage disposals for years and NEVER ONCE had I had any issues with flies, _et cetera_ going near the thing. You have absolutely *0* idea what you're talking about.
I agree, when used correctly, garbage disposals are self cleaning. You cannot let food waste sit in them for days. I’ve also had garbage disposals for years and will not be without one.
Now pass 6 month :D need a review
Cynthia Laflamme, thanks for the reminder. I will work on that soon. 🙌
Bokashi doesn't smell and actually produces useful soil
Thanks Dana...I haven't heard of that brand. Sounds like you like it? I'll check it out.
How much did they pay to to be a shill? Good job if you can get it.
Dirk A...unfortunately, I don't get paid or sponsored for any of my reviews. I am a small time channel and not worth a products $s. The upside is that my reviews are all unbiased which I hope helps people out. If I do get sponsored one day I will definitely let everyone know as I'll be very happy!
@@FitnessFinance4u I’m not calling you a liar….oh no. I am. This is so clearly a script directly from them. For you to so blatantly lie to people, you are disgusting
Man, I wish that green bins were required here. I have the lomi and love it. Need to figure out the best way to use it though. I have 2 different freezer bins and use one for Lomi scraps and one for veggie broth. I even composted a pair of sunglasses in it!
The only thing I do not like about the lomi is that you have to use the proprietary tablets. I would love to reduce monthly expenses.
1auntievenom...sounds like you are using it to its full extent. I agree about the tablets. I'm going to see if I can find less expensive tablets elsewhere to help with the pocket book. Let me know if you find any!
The best way to use it is to throw it in the trash and get a real composter and stop wasting energy using this junk.
@@The1stDukeDroklar I live in the city and don't have space for that. I Also am a single mom, work full time and have 2 dogs. I eat only plants and am gluten free so all my food is from scratch. The lomi has saved me lots of stress because I hate food waste. My electric bill has not increased either ... thanks for your lovely opinion though.
@@1auntievenom Not my opinion, it's just facts. I guess you have magic outlets because it is an energy hog.
@@1auntievenom Throw your food waste into your garbage disposal and grind it in that. It's a lot quicker and a lot less hassle, and its impact on your electrical bill will be a lot lower than Lomi.
I would buy one of these to not have to deal with the stinky leaking bags ….
mha72...that's a big reason why I got one along with keeping critters (rats, mice, racoons, etc) and maggots away from my decomposing food.
Reencle is the future
this is so cool!!!
Leonardo...I agree. I'm still amazed at what it does!
Sh*t running my first batch and I didn’t know you were supposed to put in some water 🥺
PSYKICK GIRL...it's just a little under 2 ounces and it's supposed to be poured on the "dissolving pods" they give you. I'm sure you'll be fine!
Nothing environmentally friendly about this product whatsoever. FACT
He sounds like an advertisement
Robert...it isn't. I just bought one and decided to do a review about it because a lot of my friends were asking about it.
Juicero 2.0 great job promoting a sham
It's a bread maker people. Thunderfoot thoroughly debunked this piece of garbage.
Also see the review on Garden Fundamentals.
There’s something stinky about this product oh wait it really stinks
🤣
Yes it costs as much as running a toaster oven then a blender over the course of 5 hours.
Five minutes in and still hasn't started the review...
Seems like it'd be a good thing for people without a backyard & would have to dump food scraps into trash :)
Stephanie...that's pretty much why I got it!
True. Every products has its target users, and in this case most of the condo users...
Finally someone with some common sense. Some people live where bears, raccoons, and rodents visit on the daily and traditional composting isn’t an option.
0:03 "Doing your little part" Is actually worse for the environment than not doing any of this. Either do compost the right way or don't waste the electricity produced by coal fire boiler plants and nuclear plants. It's "eco" the same way a Tesla doesn't use "fossil fuels" but is recharged by coil and nuclear fission. And the batteries are made by open pit strip mining the earth for nonrenewable resources (lithium, cobalt, ect). But for the Hollywood Hill living, need to feel better about themselves "no gas, so good for environmental" mentally having suckers that got scammed. But have enough to not care about the loss or the amount of loss or even the power bill. Than it makes sense, "compost = environmental" but at what cost? Not saying anything about you in particular just ranting about how this product is a scam and terrible for the environment.

1987FX16, I understand that people try to do the right thing and sometimes maybe it's not (at least for this moment in time). Maybe the Lomi is not as efficient right now, but I tend to think it will get better in the future. My view is that any new technology always takes a while to get better over time and we need to keep innovating to get "greener" in the future.
👍🤣👍
@@FitnessFinance4u Incorrect. This is a dehydrator and the amount of energy it takes to make the water within the ground-up food will never be reduced through technology. That is a scientific fact. These things are nothing more than an air fryer with a grinder.
What’s wrong with fission?
@@andyrichter2714 Well if done incorrectly, Chernobyl, Pripyat of the USSR.
Scammiest product out there - and that's saying a lot considering all "Pela Labs" other missold scams.

Company does not stand behind it's product...regret buying.
Here’s my most recent take on it. Does This Thing Work? | My 1 Year Lomi Composter Review

Paid advertisement?
Nope. Core, I bought the product with my own money and did this review to show everybody what I thought of it.
It is too small.
probably a good idea to do some research BEFORE you review an item ;
also; is this video ABOUT YOUR FACE OR ABOUT THE REVIEWED ITEM?
Cause YOUR FACE SEEMS TO BE THE THING THAT IS SHOWN MOST OFTEN.
Are you trying to learn acting on the job?
Someguydino...I did do research before reviewing this, so I'm confused by your comment. And yes, you will see my face a lot in this video and many other of my videos since I'm the one reviewing the items. And no, I don't want to be an actor. That's probably the toughest job in the world. I have friends who are actors and 80% of them are unemployed and have to work side jobs to make ends meet. They are tough and much better at what they do than I am. I do this for fun and get a lot of pleasure from it. Cheers.
Somebody give this guy an energy drink! I think I composted just by listening to him
Jacob Jay...I'm working on my delivery. Hoping to get more energy as I get more comfortable in front of the camera. Thanks for watching 🙏
Ooh c'mon not really
You could just chuck the scraps in the garden? It cheap and it don’t use electricity.. Lomi is a rip off.. it a gimmick.. don’t buy…
Nobody Really, I can't do that. It would attract opossums, mice, rats, etc., not to mention maggots and flies, and my neighbors would not be happy..nor would I. That's why I bought the Lomi. Makes it easy to get rid of food waste and doesn't attract critters and keeps things sanitary.
@@FitnessFinance4u we have a bin called the greens bin. It’s for food scraps and plant material.. the council picks it up each fortnight. And I don’t pay electricity bill to dehydrate it. This product is a scam, it breaks down after a while and uses power that you pay for.. but whatever makes you happy..
@@FitnessFinance4u you’d be better off getting a 2 lt airfryer and drying your scraps in that on low heat. Takes about 90 minutes and your don’t.. don’t buy this stupid thing that stays on for days and increases your fire danger..
Most of that gas is captured and we use it to power our homes
It’s doesn’t pay for itself in carbon footprint for its life. Product belongs in the garbage.
This thing is nothing more than an overpriced dehydrator/shredder. The manufacturer's outrageous claims border on fraudulent. Save yourself $500 and watch a tutorial on vermicomposting. It takes very little time, money and space.
It's a scam! Everything that that company makes is. If you say that whatever comes out of lumi is anything more than dryed and cut up waste that is NOT A COMPOST, you either don't have any idea what you are talking about or you are getting paid by them. Bad review
This is a scam.
here's what I did after a year with the lomi curtis...ruclips.net/video/up0XZzoUQd8/видео.html
@@FitnessFinance4u I don't blame you for giving up on it, but you keep calling it compost which seems to legitimize it. It's just minced up and dehydrated food scraps, nothing at all to do with compost
you’re trying be as carbon neutral as possible by not putting food in a land fill where it comes from in the first place?
where do you think food comes from?
it grows in soil which is located in the ground lololol
so in your mind putting food back into the place it came from is causing a problem?
could it be that plastic and other toxic junk is causing a problem with the environment?
let’s do something mathematical,
you have four pound of waste.
two pounds food, two pines plastic and other toxic garbage…..when that four pound reaches the land fill, which two pounds is causing the problem for the environment ?
now you have four lines of toxic waste, going into the same land fill, it’s all toxic so what’s the solution, what do we do?
hey i know how about reducing the toxic waste. sound like a plan?
the two pounds of food, and two pines of toxins makes sense now, right.
God forbid you throw food in with that clean garbage. That rotted food will destroy our planet.
how stupid, and you fell for that
Gino, my food is not grown in a landfill in California. I'm not sure about other states, but that sounds pretty dangerous if it was. According to the EPA "Modern landfills are well-engineered and managed facilities for the disposal of solid waste. Landfills are located, designed, operated and monitored to ensure compliance with federal regulations. They are also designed to protect the environment from contaminants, which may be present in the waste stream." www.epa.gov/landfills/basic-information-about-landfills. Also, with the new law passed in CA, according to the LA Times, "Most (compost) will go to large composting centers or to plants that will convert it into natural gas.", not to landfills. www.latimes.com/california/story/2021-12-26/organic-waste-composting-law-2022-recycling#:~:text=Where%20will%20all%20this%20extra%20food%20waste%20go%3F&text=Most%20will%20go%20to%20large,convert%20it%20into%20natural%20gas.
Like I said, maybe your state is different?
It is to reduce the methane in the landfills. Uses less electricity than any other appliance and although it is not fertilizer it can be put in the trash or composter and finish decomposing there no methane
it is a piece of crap
