OK-255 Electric Composter for Kitchen, 5.5L Large Smart Countertop Compost Bin, Odorless, Quiet, Easy Clean, Turn Food Waste into Fertilizer, 2026 New Indoor Food Waste Compost Machine, White

Perfect for a worry free approach to composting!
I love this brand new composter, I have always wanted to start composing for my growing collection of trees! In the past I have done my research on what to do and everything so I would just fill a bucket of old food scraps and pretty much just let it decay. But with this machine it makes composting quicker but also much easier. The machine itself consists of a durable frame with all pieces appearing to be sturdy. It is super easy to clean because everything is easily accessible because everything pretty much just slides out. The container where the magic happens is pretty big too, and with the fact it shreds up those scraps you can fit a lot in there. And when ready you just slide it out and put it where you want! I It looks well in my kitchen blending in with my other appliances and it doesn’t make any excessive noise. I love this composter for helping me five nutrients for my trees and for helping me avoid excessive food waste!

Nice little composter!
I decided to try this finally. Super easy to use honeslty. You really just throw your stuff in and hit start. Super quiet. Easy to move for the most part. It does have a carbon filter to reduce odor. I would still suggest considering using it outdoors. The carbon filter does help. There is a list of foods to use minimally but overall you can compost almost everything, even some paper products, so its pretty versatile in my opinion. Great way to reduce waste, especially if you garden or have plants.

Feed your plants your leftovers!
The first thing I noticed about the Ouaken OK-255 is how solid it was. The box was heavy, which told me they did not skimp on the materials, and the unit was built to last.Its 5.5-liter capacity gives it plenty of space to handle waste from several meals, meaning you won’t have to run it as often as you would a smaller unit. While it is built as compactly as possible, its large capacity does mean it may not fit well on the countertop of a small kitchen. For that reason, we have ours on the floor in an unused corner. We purchased a small plastic bin for our countertop in which we put scraps before transferring them to the machine on the floor for processing.The OK-255 is quiet and is barely noticeable, so you can have a normal conversation with it running in the same room. While one might think that processing food waste might cause offensive smells, what little smell it does produce is pleasant, reminiscent of a forest after rainfall.While other reviewers have pointed out that what the OK-255 produces is not technically compost, it is a soil-like material that is pleasant to handle, and a product that enriches our soil and that our plants thrive on. Even though it does not produce as much soil amendment as a true composter would, we appreciate not having to turn waste with a shovel in a large barrel in our back yard.We purchased the 5.5 liter OK-255 as an upgrade to the 4 Liter JF6001. The extra 1.5-liter capacity helps it not to fill up as quickly and the longer cord means we do not have to use an extension cord to plug into our counter level outlets. The cycle time to process is 3-10 hours for the OK-255 while the JF6001 takes 12-17 hours to process less waste. The shorter time is especially helpful since both machines consume a significant amount of power, 500 watts.The controls of the OK-255 are on the front, which is fine if it is placed on a countertop, but if it is on the floor as ours is, the front-mounted buttons make it a little less convenient than the top-mounted buttons of the JF6001.All in all, the OK-255 is a great way to make good use of your food scraps while enhancing your garden!

Neat and Practical Compost Solution
I’m This mini trash can is **very useful** for collecting scraps for my compost! It has a **neat and clean design** that looks great on the counter without being an eyesore. It’s the perfect size for daily use and makes managing compost simple and organized.

Very pleased with composter. It is extremely well built, the sound during operation was practically nil and truly odorless, bucket cleans easily. Also a great company to work with when need of assistance. I would recommend this product to anyone.

I’ve wanted this composter for a while and honestly it’s better than I expected!It’s a good size — and hold quite a bit! But I was so pleasantly surprised with how pretty it is! Crisp white – very aesthetically pleasing!I usually add our food scraps throughout the day and don’t have to empty it constantly.I was worried about smell but am happy to say it actually does a really good job. It’s also pretty quiet — you can hear it a bit but I was surprised at how quiet it is given what it’s doing!Easy to use! You just throw stuff in, press the button – that’s basically it! It has a clear top which is neat to watch it work! And 5 modes which is handy!Cleaning is easy enough because the insert is removable!Yes, it’s a bit of an investment but it’s a really high quality piece of equipment!

I bought a 4-liter model last year and have been using it every day with great satisfaction, so I recently purchased the new 5.5-liter model.Starting with the downsides, the user manual for this product is poorly designed. A manual should be created based on how users will actually use the product, but this one simply explains the functions of each button, which can be quite confusing. Even as someone who is already familiar with the same brand, I found it confusing when I first read the manual for the new model. From a consumer’s perspective, that clearly indicates the manual is not well made.One difference from the previous model is that this one no longer includes a fermentation mode. In reality, the so-called “fermentation” function was not true fermentation—it simply ground and dried the waste. If mixed improperly with soil, it could actually cause rotting or harm plants due to osmotic effects. So I assume they removed what was essentially a superficial feature.As for improvements, although I can’t say with absolute certainty, the grinding performance seems better. This is likely due to a change in the blade design. The previous model had straight blades, whereas the new model uses a more geometric structure, which appears to be more efficient. The grinding time also feels shorter.Another new feature is the Quick mode, which allows for simple operations in a shorter amount of time.Convenience has also improved. Previously, the lid had to be twisted to lock in place, but the new model uses a button mechanism to open and close the lid, making it much easier to use.The odor control is said to be improved, but it hasn’t eliminated smells completely. I think that’s just an unavoidable limitation.The inner container for food waste also seems to have a thicker coating than before, which makes cleaning easier.Since I was very satisfied with the previous model, I have high expectations for this new one as well.
