I'm tellin' ya, back in my day we didn't have all these fancy kitchen composters 🤣! But seriously, I think it's amazing how far technology has come with these machines. I mean, 3 hours to up to 24 hours for breaking down waste? That's crazy fast! And the fact that they're quiet and easy to use is a bonus. I just wish they were a bit more affordable 🤑... $599 is still a pretty penny, especially for smaller households. But hey, if it works for you and reduces your waste, then I'm all for it 💚. The Mill seems like a solid option, but I think the FoodCycler Eco 5 is a great choice too - it's smaller and more budget-friendly 😊.
 
Ugh I'm so done with these reviews 🤯 The Reencle's price tag of $599 is just ridiculous, especially considering it's a large machine that can only process 40 pounds of waste per cycle 🤷‍♂️ And don't even get me started on the Mill, who needs to pay an extra fee to have your waste shipped to Washington state? It's like they're taking advantage of people's desire to do the right thing 🤑 And then there's the FoodCycler Eco 5, which has no warranty at all... what's the point of even buying it if you can't rely on the company to support it? 😒
 
omg i'm so done with all these huge machines 🤯 i mean, who needs a 40 lb capacity composting machine just to process food waste? i think a smaller one like the foodcycler eco 5 would be way more practical for most households... i wish they included more compact options in their comparison tho 🤔 anyway, i'm loving that the mill is user-friendly and efficient though 👍 gotta say, i'd pay way less than $999 to compost at home 💸
 
The Reencle & Mill are kinda big machines, I dunno if they'd fit in my small kitchen 🤔. I mean, who needs a machine that's over 27 inches tall? Can't we just use our ol' bins like we used to?

And what's with the expensive prices?! $599 is way too much for a machine that just breaks down food waste 🤑. FoodCycler Eco 5 seems more reasonable, but I'm not sure if it'd handle big batches of trash 💪.

I do love the idea of using my own compost to feed chickens or soil, though 🐓💚! We should totally invest in some composting bins and get creative with DIY solutions 🌿
 
I gotta say, I'm kinda torn about these kitchen composters 🤔. On one hand, having a device that can help break down all this food waste is a game-changer – we should definitely be doing more to reduce our impact on the environment 💚.

But on the other hand, $599 for just one of these machines is like, woah... how many people really have that kind of cash lying around? 🤑 And what about the environmental benefits - are they even enough to justify the cost? 🤷‍♀️

I think we need to be talking about this in a bigger context – like, how can we make sustainable living more accessible for everyone, not just those who can afford fancy machines? 💡
 
ugh 40 pounds of food waste per cycle sounds like way too much for any household... $599 seems kinda steep for a machine that just gonna clog up if you're not careful 🤕
 
I gotta say, I'm all about DIY solutions, but these kitchen compositors are pretty cool too 🤔. The thing I find really interesting is how each of these machines can turn your food waste into nutrient-rich soil 💡. For me, the Reencle seems like a great option because it's got this app feature that lets you schedule processing cycles, which is super convenient for busy people on-the-go 📅.

But what's really important to me is that we need to reduce our reliance on landfills and create more sustainable habits at home. Using one of these machines can make a huge difference in the amount of waste you produce, especially if you've got a big family or live in a small space 🏠.

The only thing that worries me is the price tag - $599 is a pretty penny! 😳 But hey, I guess it's worth it if it means we can reduce our environmental footprint and create a more sustainable future for ourselves and future generations 🌟.
 
I gotta say I'm loving these kitchen composter reviews 🤩. The Reencle's got some major drawbacks for small households or those with limited space, but if you've got room to spare, it's a beast of a machine 💪! I mean, 40 pounds of food waste per cycle is no joke.

I'm also a bit skeptical about the Mill's reliance on shipping its processed waste to a farm in Washington state 🚚. That extra fee can add up quickly and might not be worth it for everyone.

On the other hand, the FoodCycler Eco 5 seems like a more accessible option for those on a budget or with limited space 💸. It may not process as much waste per cycle, but at least you won't have to worry about shipping it anywhere 🚫.

One thing that's got me curious is how these devices compare in terms of noise level 😴. I've heard some reviews where people complain that they can barely sleep due to the machines running during the night. Has anyone else had this issue with any of these composter?
 
Ugh, gotta say I'm underwhelmed by these kitchen composter options 🤦‍♂️. Like, who spends 600 bucks on a machine that just sits in your kitchen taking up space? The Reencle is basically a giant vacuum cleaner with a composting attachment 🧹. And don't even get me started on the Mill's "premium" features – yeah, because shipping all your processed waste to a farm in WA state for an extra fee sounds super convenient 💸.

The FoodCycler Eco 5 seems like the most reasonable option, but honestly, it's still a bit pricey for what you get. I mean, 599 bucks is a lot of cash for a machine that breaks down food waste into "ground waste" 🤷‍♂️. Can't we just compost our trash without having to buy special equipment?
 
I gotta say, all these kitchen composters are kinda pricey 🤑. I mean, $599 for a machine that's just gonna sit in your kitchen? It's a bit steep, if you ask me 😐. The Reencle and FoodCycler Eco 5 seem like more affordable options, but they're not as feature-rich as the Mill.

I think what bothers me is that these machines can't even process some pretty common food waste, like shells or moldy meat 🤢. It's like, aren't we trying to reduce waste here? Can't we just... compost it all in a bin and be done with it? 🤷‍♀️

That being said, I guess the Mill does have some advantages. The app is pretty convenient and the device itself seems pretty quiet and efficient. Plus, you get to send your processed waste to a farm for chicken feed - that's like, totally sustainable, right? 🐓

I'm still not sure if these machines are worth it, but I guess they're a good option for people who want to really tackle their food waste problem 💪.
 
I don't usually comment but I just found this article about kitchen composters really interesting 🤔. So I'm gonna say it - if you're thinking of investing in a machine to turn your food waste into nutrient-rich soil, you gotta think about space and weight. Those Reencle and Mill machines are huge! Like, seriously, who has that much room in their kitchen for a 40-pound machine? 🤯

And the price! $599 is steep, even if it's just for a small batch of compost every few days. The FoodCycler Eco 5 is a bit more reasonable, but still, it's like paying $100 for something that's basically just a mini-processor for your trash. 💸

I guess what I'm saying is, if you've got the space and the budget, one of these machines might be worth it. But for most people, maybe just starting with some good old-fashioned composting bins or even just adding food scraps to your existing waste bin would be a better bet? 🌱
 
I gotta say, these kitchen composters are pretty cool 🤩! But, I'm not sure if 599 bucks is really reasonable for some of these machines... I mean, I get that they're high-tech and all, but you gotta consider the average household's budget, right? 🤑

On the other hand, I think it's awesome that there are so many options available now. For smaller households or those with limited space, something like the FoodCycler Eco 5 might be a great choice. It's compact and still gets the job done 🙌.

I'm also kinda impressed by the Mill's user-friendly app and warranty. Five years is a long time, and that's gotta count for something 👍. But, I do wish they'd consider making these machines more affordable for everyone, not just those who are willing to shell out top dollar 💸.

Overall, I think it's awesome that there are so many options available now. It's definitely giving people a chance to find the right fit for their needs and budget 🎉.
 
I'm just not sold on these kitchen composters 🤔. I mean, $599 for a machine that can break down 40 pounds of food waste per cycle? That's just crazy expensive 💸. And what about all the other things they say can't be processed - like oil and sugar/candy? Who really cooks with those ingredients, anyway? 🍳

And don't even get me started on the Mill's $999 price tag 🤑. I know it's got a user-friendly app and all that jazz, but is it really worth that kind of money? Not to mention, you have to ship your composted waste all the way to Washington state... that just seems like too much hassle 😩.

I think these machines are just trying to make us feel guilty about our food waste 🤦‍♀️. "Hey, look at this fancy machine and how it's going to save the planet!" Yeah, sure... but I'll stick to my old-fashioned trash cans, thank you very much 🚮.
 
The Reencle is a big machine 🤯 that can crush up to 40 pounds of trash in one cycle. It's super quiet too 💫. But it's kinda pricey 🤑 at $599. I'm not sure if I need a fancy app to schedule processing cycles, but hey, it sounds convenient 📱.

The Mill is like the Reencle on steroids ⚡️! It's also big and powerful, and has that same user-friendly app thingy 🤩. The price tag? $999 😮 That's like buying a new laptop 💻.

FoodCycler Eco 5 seems like a more chill option 😎. It's smaller and doesn't need all those fancy features. Plus it's only $599, which is pretty affordable 🤑. But it can only handle 5 liters of trash at a time? That's kinda limiting 🤷‍♀️.

I think what I need is something that can handle my kitchen mess without breaking the bank 💸. Any of these options would be a game-changer for me!
 
I gotta say, I'm loving this eco-friendly kitchen tech 🌿💚! These composters are giving me major sustainability vibes 💖. But, if I'm being real, $599 is a bit steep for me 😅. I mean, who can afford that kind of cash? Not my wallet, that's for sure 🤑. I'd say the FoodCycler Eco 5 is a great option for those on a budget 💸 or with limited space to store these massive machines 🏠. But if you're all about reducing waste and want the most efficient solution, I'd recommend giving the Mill a try 💪! #SustainabilityMatters #EcoFriendly #CompostingForDays
 
omg how can they even make a machine that's over 600 bucks just to turn your leftovers into compost???? like what if you're on a tight budget or don't have room in your kitchen for some giant contraption 🤯 the reencle and mill are just way too expensive and big for most people to use. and the foodcycler eco 5 is basically just okay i guess it's smaller and cheaper but who has space for one of those small machines?
 
I've gotta say, I'm low-key annoyed that none of these devices can handle moldy meat 🤢. Like, isn't that just a part of cooking? Can't we just use our common sense about what goes into the compost bin? The Mill's "farm-to-table" setup is kinda cool, but it feels like an extra hassle just to get rid of food scraps. And have you seen the price tags on these things? $599 for a device that can process up to 40 pounds of waste in one cycle? That's wild 🤯.
 
I dont get why these machines are so pricey 🤑 I mean, isnt just using a regular trash can and taking it out when its full enough? Its all about convenience here, right? 🤔 the Reencle is like a small business that charges you for doing your own dirty work lol. And whats up with the Mill? You gotta ship your processed waste to another state to use it on some chickens? thats just crazy 🐓
 
I've been thinking about getting one of these machines myself, but I'm a bit put off by how much they cost 🤯. I mean, $599 is just crazy! Can you imagine having to break down all your banana peels and carrot tops every day? 😂 It's almost too good to be true that it can turn them into fertilizer for your garden in just a few hours.

I do think the idea of using one of these machines is brilliant though. Our kitchens are always producing so much waste, and if we could just turn some of that into something useful...it's like a dream come true 🌟. I've been trying to reduce my own food waste by composting at work, but it's not the same as having a machine that can do it all for me.

I'm curious to know, have any of you guys tried one of these machines out? Do they live up to the hype? 🤔
