I finally found a way to get rid of fruit flies, just pop in the scraps and food that’s only gone off, switch on before I go to bed and I’m left with good fertiliser for the garden.
Really great - reduces my food waste to a powder - no week of smells and fox attempts while I wait for the weekly food waste collection. Faint whir while it works away but odourless operation. Using it daily and so far so good
It does a good job, the carbon is effective at eliminating smell. I have 2 issues. The documentation makes no mention of how long the carbon will remain effective. The second issue is that the modes are somewhat superfluous. I would much prefer that a default setting be allowed which starts the composting process on power up. This means that I can fill the bucket during the day and then have it power on during cheap rate electricity. I have home automation tools which would allow this. Unfortunately I have to manually start the composting process so cannot use my cheap rate tariff to compost my waste.
