Best Kitchen Composters (2025), Tested and Reviewed

Quick Summary:

I tested some of these devices: the $300 Vitamix FoodCycler FC-50, the $499 Pela Lomi, the $429 BeyondGreen Kitchen Waste Composter, and the $429 Reencle Prime.

The Grow mode is specifically designed for use with food waste only, taking about 12 hours to process the waste with the addition of water and a LomiPod, a bacteria-rich pod that helps break the food down.

The new composter on the block is the Lomi by Pela (Rating: 7/10), a toaster-sized device that holds a bucket that can fit about one cubic foot of food waste.
