I bought a first generation one with a burnt out fan. First replacement fan lasted less than a month of daily use. second replacement fan lasted about 3 months, using not very often.

it uses about 12 cents or less per cycle.

@TobyDK91 Says:
The problem he is creating is a fail in itself. Yes we have a green bin program and it works really well. The bags don't leak and if it ever smells we empty it. Then if we need compost we can go pick up a trailer full, for free at the recycling station. They have the space to hot compost it in big freaking piles.
@MsPoliteRants Says:
The claim that one company made that 60% of waste in landfills is food...is just a jaw-droppingly blatant lie. Insane.
@Miranda09191980 Says:
This video isn't very helpful. It's just constant repeating of showing videos of different composters and never really getting to the point of why electric composters work or don't work. This is essentially a redundant crap talking video.
@TheCrepusculum Says:
Which earthworms, beetles, bacteria, and so on actually decompose the biomass? I don't know if it's different, but in my country, soil intended for indoor use is cleared of all possible life to avoid odors and other things. (like they show in the vid)
@DonC876 Says:
Thunderfoot i think you're to skeptical about this product, if we get fusion energy reactors working next year then this composter's energy use won't be an issue anymore. I am sure Elon Musk is already finishing the development of his humanoid robots and is ready to finally make fusion energy working with his very big brain and very smart thinking ability. Donald Trump also just gave a BIG tax break to billionaires so they finally have the much needed cash to save the world. Everything is fine, nothing to worry about <3

16:58 there is a plastic spoon going into the device, along with a plastic knife
@theedrstrangelove Says:
So, if it can compost a cellphone case, how come it does not compost itself?
@Samuel-i5q5q Says:
Is it any good for making bread though?
@AcrylicGoblin Says:
Greenwashing... both funny and sad at the same time. Speaking of time, i am excited about my new trump watch.
@Jeredvanhouten Says:
Hey Thunderfoot. They rebranded it and call it the Mill
They're promoting this in Arizona now with a farm that picks up the waste.
After seeing the commercial for the Mill I thought of your video.
@hummerchine Says:
Brilliant!
@AgiHammerthief Says:
now available in Germany under new branding, for a short time only (I guess till the company is dissolved before reclamations come in) 🙄

I like how even anti-scam videos have scammer ads.
@jbug1979 Says:
why do they look so happy wasting all that good quality food?
@b0b5m1th Says:
Just getting loads of "kompost" ads in my feed.
@6teeth Says:
" Mimicing mother nature " . ROLF LMFAO.
Mother nature uses microbes and small animals in a compost procedure.
This just heats the shit up.
I compost and the amount of life in my compost is amazing.

@butter7734 Says:
I just got two pallets and made a bin standing them on their side and I throw all my compost there and use no electricity and can fit 50x more than what this stupid thing does.

It seems that they sell these devices at Costco now. They had a presenter with a Lomi there, but everybody just walked past it 😂
@HaznyH182 Says:
I found this because there was an ad for some new company's crowdfunding campaign for basically another one of these and someone commented mentioning this video. I hope anyone considering joining it also sees that comment !

@aurum79argentum47 Says:
I run mine on solar power in the window well. I have no Illusions about the benefits of this thing, but my climate is too hot for a worm biin and I've had nothing but gnats trying to run them indoors. I was gifted this thing so I didn't have to pay for it but I'm well aware of the wasteful costs of producing it. I don't send food scraps to the landfill anymore this way. I add them to my outdoor compost bin were they actually do become compost the advantages that I can keep these things around storing them multiple trips out to the compost pit in the winter.
@Seagaltalk Says:
it's desicated to reduce smell and volume. thats so the yuppies don't have smeel amd greasy bags of food waste lying around for their maids to get rid of
@DylanFahey Says:
The god damn ads on Youtube for this 'thing' are annoying as fuck.

Thunderf00t has a spidy tingling sense when he hears a tech scam; it's one of his superpowers.
@Hooskerdoos Says:
They never stop exploiting the willingness of rich idiots to give away their money. This is the backbone of climate change denialism. CC appears to many, many people as nothing but an ad preference.

Around here, most people have a composter, if I show them this video they're gonna have a fit at this company. :D

People are so gullible all these so-called inventors are living the high life on other people's money
@cr-qo3ov Says:
You know what you do you get your a piece of fence you make a circle out of it put all your grass clippings your leaves and your food scraps inside of it and there's even products that you can buy to help with break down over time and you got a compost that uses absolutely no energy doesn't take any energy to build the product doesn't take any energy to run the product cost you about 20 bucks to build
@csnipper524 Says:
So for $1000 you can make something simple into something that takes more work, more energy and the results are the same? What a deal. It's people like this that kill the credibility of the people actually trying to promote a greener world.
@Sugapuff123 Says:
And now they made the exact same product again but a different name. Very cool.
@emptywindexbottle97 Says:
Too lazy to carry a bag 5 meters? Buy this...machine that...grinds trash to a dust... that you can...put in a bag...that you need to carry 5 meters...
@L33tSkE3t Says:
What was wrong with a compost bin and pile? It uses literally zero additional energy with zero moving parts automatically. I honestly don’t understand the need for these machines to exist even if they worked. Like, am I missing something?
@hw5010 Says:
I really tried to consider your stance. It was a 24 min video and I really tried to watch all of it. But it was kinda hard to bare, with all the mockery and harshness.… anyway, I really like my Eco 5, especially bc i don’t have an alleyway and my green bin is at the front of my home. I personally don’t feel like rinsing out the maggots in summer with a hose at the front of my home. Also, I really look forward to curing my plant food and mixing it with my garden soil to grow my own food. It may not be a perfect solution, but it works for me.
I’m not trying to start anything, but I assume anyone who reads this will be game to different perspectives. If anyone responds to me, I think some basic civility is expected. Just putting it out there cuz the Reddit post that brought me here was kinda aggressive….
@lasurfette7830 Says:
I got a Lomi on a Buy Nothing group. I have no idea how many people it went through, but I'm at least its third owner. At first I thought I'd won the jackpot, but now looking at these videos, I realize I got something akin to a waste incinerator. Thankful I didn't pay a cent for it! At least I can drop meat and dairy products in it unlike a regular backyard compost.
@sagethegreat4680 Says:
Ah isn't one of the points of composting is the bacterial breakdown of the matter . Heating it up to the point steam may come out is going to kill that bacteria pretty much rendering it useless as compost .
@TheStevenWhiting Says:
MeidasTouch want us to take them seriously as a news outlet and they are a bunch of lawyers, yet they appear to be doing no checks on their sponsors as they are still taking sponsership money from Lomi to advertise.
